Hardly surprising for what is essentially a piece of jewelry. The cost inflation for the gold piece especially has nothing to do with the cost of the most expensive material (the gold itself).

It seems he approached this in good faith and gave an honest review. Which seems quite rare for people commenting on Go.

Well I'd give it a try, but I'm pretty much addicted to Coke Zero.

This is great. Reminds me of my first (and only) trip to NY. I somehow ended up lost walking through Brooklyn and came across a little bookstore. In there I found a book called "N walks in New York" (or similar). It was organized

I was somewhat aware of dependencies, but they don't really do what I want. I want to be able to execute a role (or task within a role), much like calling a function, that will be executed at the point it is called (dependencies are al

Sorry, switched to Ansible last month and haven't looked back. Edit: Actually I have looked back, in horror and disbelief that I put up with Puppet for so long.

I don't cook either. Snap-dried frozen dinners can be healthy, taste like real food* and you also know exactly how many calories you are eating. Food science has come a long way and quality frozen meals are not the salt-drenched, fat&#

I lose watches. Period. It's why I wear a near disposable $5 plastic eyesore from Target on my wrist. No way am I wearing a $500+ wrist computer to tell the time.
