I really dislike how you continue to dismiss or question what happened to the OP while continuing to find excuses for this type of behaviour.

Agree with this. My children are so close to the ground they can observe things I just walk by. They are constantly pointing out to me things they find beautiful in their tiny details. Admittedly I've trained them to be highly observan

Think it depends on the age of the children, right? Do you parents have very young children? Things get better once they are 5-6

This reminds me of the concept of "karuna" in Bhuddism. To me what the author is discussing is the difference between the direction translation of the word, often taken as "compassion" vs. the intention to seek truth and

As a former EMT and someone who built their own software to create run reports, I'm a bit skeptical as to that being the only reason. Paper can be edited, even after the point at which you given a carbon copy to a hospital, if you&#x27

A great flat white, an Australian invention I understand, is shockingly good compared to a standard cappuccino. When done properly you wouldn't even question the need for sweetener because the milk becomes so decadent.

Why... they just want to farm for ideas, understand your execution, use that knowledge to launch a competitor they have a stake in, drive out all the alpha from the business in so doing, and make an exit leaving someone else to hold the bag

I work at WTC and this is exactly how I feel about the area under the Oculus connecting the Brookfield Mall. It's like a scene out of Gattaca, a massive dizzyling underground mall/complex with no natural light filled with luxury s

Seems like a nice potential solution would be promoting dual majors in journalism and history so journalists could provide deep historical context for the events they report on

We had a nightmare story with Wag. My sister's dog was being walked by a new walker through Wag. The sitter brought our dog to a nearby fenced-in handball court and let him off leash, which he was not supposed to do. Her dog went to re

I miss a lot of it. You could build a vibrant community without bizops, marketing, partnerships, and a whole host of other people because you could generate meaningful traffic from search engines.

Yeah, nothing listed here has worked for me. The issue is I had two accounts with the same email address one with Facebook one w/o. Not sure how it happened but if I try to reset the password of my account with my email address I immed

not necessarily into this serverless thing but that doesn't seem like a valid complaint, use a global connection pooler like pgbouncer

I just bought my 2nd 4000 edition, what do you mean they don't make it? The super updated "surface" one is a bit too much, don't love the keys or the separated number pad so I didn't spring for it.

Why not both? It could make what you want easier to do down the road once the public sees they too can live without

Part of me wants to be offended by that but part of me knows every one of us is just a cog in a machine, some bigger than others but really... not that much bigger.

I couldn't possibly agree more. The annoying minimalism is killing me. It took me 5 minutes to find a map view the other day because they've buried it so much and floated their "experiences" stuff up top.

Paprika on a yam? Yeah, yams are unbelievably sweet when exposed to direct fire, like candy sweet. But I'm talking about the Garnet and Japanese varieties, this might just be a less cultivated specie he found locally and just went with

I mean... It's a fast moving ecosystem and a coalition of the willing. You have to submit PRs too. I'm not unsympathetic to your claim but context matters. This is an enthusiasm problem. Not a community one
