If you're steaming food and then adding olive/avocado/walnut oil afterwards, well, that's fine, but you are not cooking with oil, exactly.

The text of the article notes this change concerns "open carry" only. Even in Alaska, this seems unlikely to affect many Walmart customers.

The one-day record could have been serviced in 5.8 seconds of peak per-second throughput, is that right?

Agreed on the Ridgeline, it packs neither capability nor efficiency. OTOH, a Lexus GX or Land Cruiser should do fine for modest towing duty, reliability, and low-ish depreciation.

Right on. It takes quite a bit of experience to get to the point where you can sort of look into the future to think about what living with the new system will be like, once its warts and shortcomings are known. The time-sucking problems

With the caveat that this doesn't contribute much to the discussion, H&SS was known as "H&Less Stress" to CIT folk ;)

I agree, although this is not the point to which your original post, and my concurring post, respond. Had the court ordered liquidation--of bitcoin, hogs, apartment blocks, whatever--it seems unlikely that market volatility would stay th

Better pick an example that doesn't involve phase change. ;) Maybe it is more like water spilling over the top of an earthen dam. It only takes incrementally more water to happen, but is very bad for the structure of the dam and thing

I think the GP's point holds in that water has a higher latent heat of fusion than most other everyday substances, probably due to its polarity.

How transparent is it, when the test-takers can't obtain or review their own information, or opt out of participating in this scheme?

Do you believe that the consumers of the "landscape" scores won't sum those values up or apply some substantially similar reduction?

Also sneaky, although a 1-year commitment is better than having to pay for next December's usage in January under the terms of an allegedly "monthly" charge.

It's very hard for me to take a service seriously upon seeing the "$5 per user per month (billed annually )" pattern on the pricing page. It's sneaky. Gas stations don't show prominent signs with the price per

Nice! Could take a turn for the worse when you need something smaller than E. coli though--you'll be wishing you named the Chromecast "tardigrade" when some lightswitch has to be named "herpes."

> English, more than about 400 years ago is almost wholly foreign Are you suggesting this text is from the 17th century? I'm no expert but this much Germanic influence seems much older.

What's this about "Rome isn’t Western Europe"--have you consulted a map of the Roman empire?

Some say it means "the customer's spending (or refusal to spend) is inarguable reality," without dragging the customer's feelings into the picture. Granted an angry customer is less likely to buy.

Okay, but is it impossible? Millions of people saturating their lungs with largely unstudied vapors from a variety of devices...

And suppose it's 1 million lives per year after a 10-year ramp-up period?

So, if you're not a fan of the UNIX philosophy, maybe check out Powershell. Or take a look at WMI and DCOM in Windows. Eschew shell scripts in favor of strongly-typed programs that process strongly-typed binary formats, or XML, or wh

The saying is "ignorance of the law is no defense"--it's a real stretch to recast it in terms of "ignorance of the activities of an independent third party" don't you think?

Are they really, though, or are they meant to appeal to folks who want to change the taste of their municipal tap water? This is a good-faith question--I don't get a strong sense of science or testing from their website.

YMMV, I believe most folks would call that "serialization," reserving "encoding" for turning a notionally written-down-ish representation into bytes; e.g. string -> utf8 bytes, or float -> IEEE-754 bytes.

Well, that is certainly some grade-A baloney. One struggles to imagine how or if a clear-minded person put this arrangement of words to paper.

You should probably aim for one visit to Wendy's or McD's a week... or one a month... or one a quarter. What you're doing now is like rationalizing vodka over beer.

Is this a joke? "Full-stack" implies much broader skills than banging together Javascript frameworks (even if some of those frameworks are unrelated to websites).

That is a nice introduction indeed. Afterwards, to get a taste for more complex matching, maybe the Perl / PCRE docs. https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html
