That was an advantage of a hot, dry desert--there weren't any bloodsucking insects or arachnids. In conversation from mustard permalink -

The simultaneous rise of #conspiracy_theory groups around the world is very suspicious. It would be easy to point a finger at some nation's security agencies, but that would be hard to prove. (And without some evidence, it would just be another conspiracy theory.)In conversation from web permalink Attachments

And it wasn't even very funny toward the end of their time.
That's a show that has coasted on its reputation ever since. Sort of like the Simpsons.In conversation from web permalink -

Get a bottle of your favorite sparkling water and see whether it helps.
Personally, I can often replace a soda by getting chilled San Pellegrino. Around 35F to 40F seems to be the most refreshing.In conversation from web permalink -

An example: over and over, they say in SQL, use the AS statement to alias columns, so they'll have meaningful names that don't require digging to understand what their contents mean. Then when you submit your query with 'tablename AS ingredients', they'll ding you for it. "The checker could not find the first item."
Over and over, they say to use table names to disambiguate. Then, when you submit your query with 'meals.meal_price', they'll ding you for it. "The checker expected to find 'meal_price'."
Little things like this give it the feel of "a couple of college students' weekend project" rather than a legitimate learning and job preparation platform.In conversation from web permalink -

I'm also not acquainted with that league. I usually just hear about the NFL. In conversation from web permalink -

They seem to be mostly tornado watches and severe t-storm warnings. AFAIK, only 1 affects this area (I haven't read them all; it is hard to keep up and still do anything else) In conversation from web permalink -

Otherwise, I prefer edits that still show that the error was made such as the below.

Grandson_5 met another little boy who is right around the same age. They played together a little bit.
GS5's weight is in the 90th percentile for his age in months, but this kid is slightly taller and a lot chunkier.In conversation from web permalink -

> These people—some of whom requested anonymity to candidly discuss the US government and their industry’s undisputed behemoth—argue that the government’s relationship with Microsoft is crippling Washington’s ability to fend off major cyber attacks that jeopardize sensitive data and threaten vital services. To hear them tell it, Microsoft is overdue for oversight.In conversation from web permalink Attachments

The #FCC votes to restore #NetNeutrality. https://gnusocial.jp/url/2686069 [www forbes com]
It is important to recognize that "last mile" carriers had pretty stringent "hands off" requirements until around 2000, when the government suddenly decided that "high speed Internet" was exempt. Despite not seeing any evidence that this was bribery, the suddenness and depth of the change leads me to suspect that undue influences of a financial nature were involved.In conversation from web permalink Attachments
