I flew to South Africa in October. My flight from Amsterdam to Johannesburg had free messaging. On my ipad I could use google hangouts, whatsapp, email and google drive. I was chatting with my wife in Hungary and my daughters in the US for

Myers Briggs, Enneagram, Strength Finders, it goes on and on. It's big money and most of it isn't any better than astrology, tarot cards, etc.

I teach a class in a small high school about building websites. Right now I'm teaching CSS. For HTML and CSS I have the students use notepad or textedit. It's really nice to have a plain text editor that doesn't help them in

I understand. I'll subscribe - and just looking over the parts of the site and going back to the documentation has helped me to wrap my head around a few things that were eluding me. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it and I'

If it's not too much to ask, I would add on here that I'd like to see your Hugo setup. I've been learning it recently but the examples I find are all rather simple. Just seeing what you've done gives me some ideas of how

Calibre on its own will convert between formats and there are plugins that will strip drm. I have no idea about the legality in various parts of the world but it is a solid solution for liberating content and making it portable

I think one solution is to make sure it's possible for everyone to have a mobile phone. They are so important on so many levels. In this situation in particular - needing to get an SMS without a number - google voice is a good solution

I think to the typical Pole - this is all pretty big stuff and very indicative of living a life that is not available to most people.

Mustangs had to be brought over for a long time and they were very unusual in Europe. Now that Ford builds a model for Europe, I see them a ton here in Hungary. It's easy to spot them because they have the license plate section sized p

I have a long and humorous story about an accidental drive through Northern Albania. We were on a lot of small roads through little villages and farmlands and I just saw them dotted everywhere, in the middle of fields, in lots of other plac

My experience in driving through various parts of Albania is that they aren't just in strategic places but they were everywhere and that in much less than 10000 years they will all be gone. Even in the couple years between my lasts vis

These didn't have anything rational about them. They are literally everywhere- seemingly randomly placed in the middle of farm fields, etc. and they kept people busy and were a response to the ever present "threat" of the US

I used to consider grand jury indictments to indicate that something was going on. Then someone close to me was indicted. That's when I learned that it takes almost nothing to get an indictment. In the case I know best it was less than

If I send a test email with postfix - gmail rejects it and gives me a link to their page explaining why I need to add a bunch of stuff so they know I'm not spamming or fishing. Specifically I get this: gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[173.19

This is anecdotal but I decided to host my own sites. I bought the cheapest droplet from digital ocean that I could and I set it up running Fedora. Then I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP so I could run some wordpress sites. The server kept

This is a marketing video but shows the idea that deals with what you propose - https://youtu.be/e1NrFZddihQ?t=122 I think the whole video is interesting but I've set it to the piece dealing with hostile aircraft.

Most military aircraft at the time and for a while after could not start themselves. I think everything on the deck when I served on a carrier in the late 80s except maybe s-3s required huffers and electric carts to get going.

I feel that way here in Hungary. If the Eastern Europe time zone was called something else maybe we'd be in it. In the summer it doesn't matter but I'd kill for sunset an hour later in the winter.

In my time on a ship we were always undermanned. All the development I've seen in new systems to replace those I worked on (arresting gear and catapults) focus heavily on reducing required manning. We never did busy work or work that w

I didn't read it as saying not to get a degree - but to do so without such a large amount of debt. There are many ways to do this. I did it via the military. There are other options - that's just one.

We watched it too - and since I worked on the fight deck I saw it many more times. How the Forrestal fire was handled is a case study in how to do it wrong and the high number of casualties was the very sad cost of how poorly prepared the

Wizzair is my primary means of getting around for my job. If they do have issues I hope they get resolved quickly. I don't mind the trains but they are usually a lot slower and more expensive.
