Their cookie banner is provided by a 3rd party and I can’t see how it is non-compliant unless there is something I’m missing.

I’m sorry you had a poor experience with math in an academic setting. I agree that this is what kids need, the problem with this particular failing of just nixing Algebra is that we’ve not actually innovated in the way we communicate the id

Honestly, that’s kind of cool to get the entire repair rig. I doubt it’s worth it for them to differentiate based on the of work done, so they just send the entire kit. I don’t mind that Apple does this if anyone is allowed to make their ow

Logically this is correct because by the time a header is received by the user agent, all the work to create that request and send it down the wire is done, but now we’ve asked for an additional workload, however small, to be performed in t

I would argue the TV is the most wasteful thing you mentioned. The refrigerator, even if it is inefficient, still does it’s job by cooling food. That ~15kWh monthly to your TV to exist in an off state does nothing for your quality of life.

It’s hard to shake that feeling of a “trailer park” with the current status of these dwellings. I think the connotations associated here are the blockers. What happened to sears-catalog-style kit homes where they just drop a huge pile of lu

In the article they mentioned this photographer works with sanctuaries and reserves. I think it’s very likely he is in a sanctuary with animals that grew up as exotic pets and cannot be rehabilitated to the wild. Cheetahs are not Big Cats (

Adderall is not (usually) prescribed for weight loss, it would be an off-label use as well. There are stimulant medications like adderall that are prescribed and work much better at appetite reduction than Adderall.

The situation I was trying to describe is when a kid is clearly lost, not just playing around. This is a concern I would have if I saw an adult in the situation with a similar remedy: ask if they need help.

The “soft life skill” like resilience are very important for any adult. Achievement is great but is meaningless if all you got out of it was trivial knowledge. Being resilient, for example, allows a young adult to take difficult situations
