I use this (sometimes) and it's consistently given me good results, and it feels great to use everything up. Each meal plan typically contains three meals and has ingredient quantities for two or four people. As I live on my own, it&#x

I can't be the only one a bit freaked-out with the laughter at the end of that first video?

Frustratingly (to me, anyway), the article fails to define what 'UPA' stands for. I looked it up - United Productions of America, apparently. (I guess it was assumed the intended audience knew that.)

Thanks to this link I'm now aware of Cookie Clicker and have been 'playing' it for the last couple of hours. I now have no life.

I've not heard of GOAL before - do you have a link to any references or articles about it?

This has always frustrated me. I sit on a number of IEC working groups as a technical expert (as part of TC 80 for maritime equipment). None of us get paid by the IEC (which is fine), but we all donate either ours or our company's time

Whenever I think about upgrading my system these days, I start looking at processors and graphics cards and find it just so hard to understand the differences I end up giving up. (Plus I've got no spare cash, but, you know...)

Thank you so much for posting this - can now work through all of the programmes while stuck indoors! Such wonderful nostalgia.

Born in 1970 as well - seems incredible reading the comments here about ICT and how lucky I was to born at the right time in the right place. I was also super-lucky that my dad was the caretaker of a primary school and I was able to go in w

Not sure why you're getting downvoted - that was how I read it as well.

I'm so glad somebody else thinks this! I've always hated that style of notation.

Likewise. I'm devastated about the news, and it's brought back my demons to the fore.

I feel the same way about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%27%C3%A9tait_un_rendez-vous . Lots of my friends adore it, but the first thought I had when watching it was 'what if somebody was crossing the road?'

The main issue I have with this is that, like you could guarantee vi/vim being present on any Unix/Linux installation, mspaint.exe would always be present on any Windows installation for easily taking screenshots. When working wit

That's a good point, and I don't really understand what we were doing wrong. I guess the candidates could 'talk the talk' when we were asking them questions on their CV, or general high-level questions on, say, threading
