Yeah, this can lead to awkward small talk between people who like doing the big name tourist stuff and people who like doing things off the beaten path when they discover they both visited the same place and have surprisingly little experie

Sure! But you could treat it as an emergency and staff up. It could even be through a mutual aid system the way utilities team up to do repairs after disasters, borrowing permitting experts from other jurisdictions.

Yeah, I think letting HOAs regulate too much is actually bad public policy because it encourages petty conflict that does more harm than any good that could from houses having RVs in their driveways or whatever.

It depends on what the footer says. This isn't a company though, it's the government, and it's generally considered unprofessional if not illegal for federal employees to make partisan statements on the job. There's also

Wikipedia mentions heightened regulation and litigation around 2000, along with layoffs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishers_Clearing_House Also the business was probably becoming obsolete at that point. The int

This was common in Victorian England as well, I believe. I remember reading about it in the context of consensual “sodomy.”

Yeah, every generation seems to reinvent the malt shop in America. The next iteration might be whoever builds the Starbucks of boba tea.

I think that's it. I assume the pint glass pops up at intervals that the investigators would know and the general public would not, so you'd need some kind of central service with someone watching the commercial stream and showing

This is probably the issue in apps like Bumble—trying to keep the interface ultra simple and clean. Unfortunately the makers of apps like this are thinking in large numbers and not really considering issues like translation. It may also be

You could let them choose between that and where they're locked up. I think that's generally how it's worked for college students, although some states are now trying to keep them from voting in their college towns.

Urine has long been used in medical testing and treatment. The term diabetes mellitus comes from the sweet taste of patients’ urine, for instance. Estrogen extracted from pregnant women’s urine used to be used as a supplement for menopausal

Also, people knew what was on TV before they turned it on. People bought TV Guide magazine, which was pages and pages of listings, or looked at the TV page in the newspaper. You also generally had the airtimes for your favorite shows memori

I know people who go to a big stadium show every so often and basically don’t spend any other money on music. I know other people who are going to $0 to $20 shows every week. They feel like different hobbies and communities nowadays, and I

The problem for seated events is variations on, four people buy tickets together, seats ABCD, and the people in seats B and D drop out. They have friends who would buy the empty seats, but instead end up with a stranger in between them. Or

Yes, but other corporations that offer public telecommunications services have tech support, however mediocre, even if you can’t just call and ask to speak to engineering. As I recall that was even true of the free dialup ISPs (NetZero, Jun

You would impose the rule after a certain threshold. It could even be quite high, like $100 million or $1 billion in annual revenue.

I haven’t read it but I think that’s genuinely interesting and not obvious. And probably could change based on the roles of first and second wives and, yes, how male status plays out and how it influences the life of the wife. We don’t have

Yeah, I just watched it again and I’m mostly confused why the guy interrupted what sounded like a valid response. I wonder if his audio was delayed? Or maybe the response wasn’t what they rehearsed and he was trying to get it on track?

That was my thought — the memory might not have been properly cleared from the last rehearsal. I found the use case honestly confusing though. This guy has a great kitchen, just made steak, and has all the relevant ingredients in house and

Makes some sense to me. In some cases, as Slack says, there may be a legal mandate to log employee conversations, but in other situations there may be legal restrictions on reading employee-to-employee conversations. That all probably varie

They’ll do what taxis have always done when not in use — go to a lot or garage in a cheap part of town.

Yeah, I have similar problems all the time and its heuristic is really strange. Like, it’ll emphasize a file called ._home_env_vars.sh buried in an old Python environment that hasn’t been accessed in 8 years over one just called “home” that

I did always find the term kiss and fly confusing and weirdly intimate, as if everyone is getting a ride to the airport from a spouse or parent. Definitely a throwback to another era.

Land and rent used to be cheaper, and a lot of people come through the door. The margins on a lot of diner food, like eggs, ground beef, and coffee and fried potatoes, were at least historically fairly high. People in NYC also historically

It really seems like it should be possible, but you have to put in the effort to develop recipes, buy minimum quality ingredients, and train the staff. Old school diners, especially Greek diners in the NYC area, used to be famous for their
