Assuming you like that style of curry, it's a decent recipe. The only trouble would be if you didn't read the whole thing first. If you didn't read ahead, you'd hit "dump all of your tomatoes and extra ingredients i

I'm not so sure college has gone up in price, all things considered. The sticker price is much higher, but people aren't usually paying sticker price. Discounts (scholarships) are much more available. Stuff like dual-enrollment ha

That right there would be surprising and disturbing. Collagen that shows up in the diet could arrive with subtle flaws. Wikipedia: "as of 2011, 30 types of collagen have been identified" Besides getting the wrong type, it could ju

A desert would be excellent. We lost a Space Shuttle due to humid Florida air leading to condensation, ice, a heavy torn-off chunk of foam, a fractured wing edge, and heat-induced structural failure. Southern Arizona would work, especially

My anecdote is as valid as your anecdote. Life got cheaper over the past 15 years, not counting changes in family size. I used to have insurance co-payment, a deduction from my paycheck, and an unreachable out-of-pocket maximum. All of that

That is actually worse than C on Linux. For C, that segfault is provided by the kernel placing a guard page off the end of the stack. C programs recover via sigaltstack, sigaction, and siglongjmp. The C program can continue running safely a

Curious... does Rust require code to be marked unsafe when the maximum depth of recursion can't be proven to fit within the available stack? If not, it's a huge hole in the memory protection.

The conclusion is wrong. I personally witnessed a mosquito being made to pop by tensing a muscle. Note that I'm not claiming any specific mechanism of action, or that this is a common human ability, or that more than one species is vul

Typically you'll need to work 30 hours per week to get health insurance. That is 75% of the 40-hour week. Assuming you do that, and not treating holidays as anything special, here are the numbers: You're seeking $66.67 per hour. I

Start with "peanut". It's not a nut. Peanuts are a type of pea, related to lentils and beans. Call the result "goober goo".

I've seen that happen right before a hurricane. Wind was already gusting, roughly at tropical storm levels. The full force of a category 3 was just a few hours away. There was my neighbor, blowing leaves from his driveway.

A century ago, phrenology failed. Would it fail if you added a modern AI? How about if you had an MRI that provided more-direct information for the AI model? Feeding actual brain structure data into an AI is far more sophisticated than meas

In much of the USA, $61k will get you a 3-bedroom house on a quarter acre lot. I mean ownership. The house and land would belong to you for that price. So this is like buying a new house every year.

Most rooms can hold 3 bunk beds. If the bunk beds are only 2-level and you put two kids in the lower part, that comes to 9 kids per room. Babies can stay with you. That's a 10x density increase. You can have 20 kids now. Since the kids

That clearly isn't the financial situation in the USA. Here I am, a software developer, supporting a family of 14 on a single income. I'm definitely not wealthy. I couldn't do that in Manhattan of course, so I don't live

Your own personal COL adjustment is what matters. If you are happy living in a rented room and you like to order your food in bulk over the internet, the high-cost city will be a better deal. The 10x higher cost of housing isn't much f

It's just plain weird that the library would use a generic length function. Might it have something to do with needlessly accepting pathological NaN representations? The expected code would do something closer to this: len = strspn(s,
