Do you actually think it's an attractive house? I find the exterior shockingly ugly, and woodwork like that is impossible to repair if there's any decay... These houses weren't built to last 100 years, I don't see why p

I am surprised that after all of the years of tracking Google still hasn't realized I don't care about soccer. It seems like big brother is phoning it in.

Fruit is actually a poor source of fructose. There's too much fiber, it can't be absorbed quickly. Compare that to cola, which adds salt and bubbles so your mouth can't even taste how much sugar/HCFS it's swallowing

I don't think you could get them to be consistently warm on Earth. But the atmosphere on Venus is so thick you could have a bunch of these floating above the clouds.

Apple requires you to buy a developer subscription to download Swift, and their documentation frequently requires you to sign in with a developer account. Although free accounts can read the docs. So a C&D would be consistent with thei

C++ made certain decisions about syntax, Java kept many of them. They have been dominant languages for many years. Objective-C made different decisions. They aren't clearly better or worse, just different. So C++/Java developer

One big problem is the there aren't any existing societies that dress, pose, and feed the dead. So it's very difficult to investigate why they would do that.

The dials break easily, but they aren't a commoditized part so they're difficult to replace. Number pads are more reliable.

It's actually the other way around. Major landowners want to build more units because there's plenty of money to be made. It's existing renters who are stopping new development. Long term renters have fantastic rates becaus

This is really a specialty tool. Normal axes were also used to fell trees, demolish wood structures, and occasionally personal defense. I'm guess that it's less useful if you're chopping against the grain or if you want prec

This is a bit of a tangent but I've been on teams that demanded you rebase everything so that there's a linear history. Of course this leads to nasty conflict resolutions, so they solve that by squashing all of their commits befor

It's still disputed, but there's a lot of evidence the problem is fructose, not glucose. Meaning that bread and potatoes aren't particularly bad on their own. Here's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" that lays out the

To make something accessible you need to let people learn it one small chunk at a time. PHP lets you ease in, starting at html with some inserted php code and working your way up to more complex code. CGI, at least as I recall, required you
