Nah, we'll just use the existing spouse_id field in the records to set up a circular linked list through the polycule. A conventional two-person marriage is just a special case of that anyway.

It's not this. I know ladies who work on their tans, and they don't put faux working class outfits on over them, they dress up hard. A tan indeed signals that you have enough money and free time to swab around in the Mediterranean

It's not necessarily driven by anything internal. Lots of parts of the Middle East are globally significant, because of oil and gas production and the Suez canal route. That means that they attract a lot of external meddling. For examp

A theory I've read on here is that VC returns come from a handful of hyper-successful firms, and the challenge is getting in on the deals in those firms at all, and the way you do that is by building a reputation as a visionary and gen

Perhaps the most brutal way of introducing nucleic acids into cells is microinjection: you make a really, really fine needle, jab it into a cell's nucleus, and inject a DNA solution. It is incredibly painstaking work, does kill a lot o

I reject the symlink problem as not real, and i think the solution is harmful. Here's my expectation: if a script is linked into some location, and invoked at that location, it should behave the same as if it had been copied to that lo
