I don't order delivery food, but I recently learned my Amazon Prime membership includes GrubHub Premium membership, and fees were waived, so I said why not give it a try. The no-fee price for the order was $70. Going directly to the re

A bit more detail: long ago, before the time of the Great Brace War, people wrote code using all sorts of styles: tabs/spaces, short or long variable/function names, Hungarian notation or not, comments or not, long blocks or short

It's helpful to distinguish problem solving from creative thinking. The main goal of problem solving is to make a problem go away. The main goal of creative thinking is to come up with new problems to solve. Some also call this converg

If bros are saying they're selling something manufactured by/for Eli Lilly, then yes, that's scammy. The chatter I've encountered has been clear it's gray market from China.

"Counterfeit" is a tricky word when the Eli Lilly product in question isn't actually available for sale, meaning that nobody is selling anything purported to be a branded version. Nobody even knows yet what the Eli Lilly bran

I believe you but can't attest from personal experience. Almost any time I've gone low carb and into ketosis, I've also reduced my calorie intake. All you can eat bacon and eggs gets old quick.

Poe's Law goes both ways. As a matter of fact, my mom invented digital photo cropping (or "pixel array extent adjustment," because even in her prime she wasn't a marketing genius, bless her heart). We know better than to

If your self-esteem is sufficiently resilient, you can exploit the same human tendencies behind Cunningham's Law (the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer). Check

I liked that one, too, but for an additional reason. Typing that first character on the page reveals the problems you didn't even know existed. You don't have a keyboard. You do, but it's not plugged in, and you have to move

I agree. There was a while when I, the sweet summer child that I am, hoped that the late 90s-early 00s crop of founders would start families of their own and naturally steer their companies toward the family-as-enterprise-but-actually-usabl

If I can victim-blame for a moment, I don't know what my mom is supposed to do when a streaming service on her TV says there's a problem and will she please report a GUID to the support department. No, my mom is not eidetic, and n

It's easy to say "oh, this is just enterprise controls, and your family is an enterprise." But then I remember every time I've had to delve into actual enterprise administration, and yeah that's its own full-time jo

Even inside of EU, seemingly BYD have reasonable prices, especially compared to their EU competitors. This will usually be the case, because domestic manufacturers raise prices once tariffs (import taxes) on foreign manufacturers are impo

Curious: do enterprises using Windows suffer through all the system-level ads and nagware? Or do they get a version that lets their employees actually focus on work instead of learning the many reasons they should consider switching back to

Ahh, the 300A and the BH6. Such a combo. I bought two to have one gaming machine and one coding/hacking machine (including learning about networking now that I had two computers). Geek heaven.

Ketosis is your body using fat as an energy source when glucose isn't readily available. So if you deprive yourself of dietary glucose (carbs, simple sugars, etc), but keep eating fat and protein, you'll enter ketosis while eating

If you can handle the body's switchover to ketosis, the rest of the fast is relatively easy.

The article mentions thalassophobia, which is my new vocabulary word for today. It means fear of large bodies of water.

Insulin users would have better answers to this question, since they might inject multiple times a day, whereas GLP-1 users typically inject only weekly. But in either case, the answer for subcutaneous injections using needles sized 29g and

My question was about what happened during your warranty period. nrp's response was independent of warranty obligations.

The warranty suggests that Framework would "ship the laptops back to [their] facility and repair them, at [their] expense," as you said they should. Did that not happen while your warranty period was in effect? https://

It's right down the street from US domestic coffee, semiconductor, game console, laptop, rare earth mineral, graphite, and banana industries. All these US industries are protected by baseline and reciprocal tariffs.

The success of surgery to remove solid tumors usually hinges on whether there are "clean margins," meaning they were able to remove all the bad tissue and a little good surrounding tissue just to be sure. It's likely that the

A little off topic, but I remain naively hopeful that the horror you describe will keep Spotify from going down the same road Netflix did once content owners decided to get into the streaming business themselves, so that streaming a movie t
