Same. I've been a lurker since 2008. Been hitting this site practically every day since. I've learned so much in the process. Thanks for everything hn, happy new year!

No! It wasn't my intention to get the puppy sandwich removed. Isn't this the whole point of art? To invoke an emotional reaction? I vote to bring back the puppy sandwich, and add in a kitten sandwich for balance ;)

The random dismembered paw in the puppy sandwich makes me sad.

I was wondering how they could traverse rough terrain like gravel. That video explains how the overlapping wheels makes that possible. Why not go with a "tank tread" type design? Maybe in a future hiking version.
This. I've been using privacy.com for all my online subscriptions. I just cancel the card I used to sign up and call it a day.

How does it reduce bandwidth exactly? It still has to grab all the html/css/js for the site being rendered.

Dude. Just delete it already. Once it's gone you'll quickly realize how much it doesn't even matter.
To be fair, Mailgun is in the practice of sending email. It just happens to be that email is one of the main conduits of spam.

I meant, of the lines that are green, what line in what html file is causing that line to be green.

Also a "git blame" type view that shows which files use which lines of css/js.

I can't agree more. I use mine for the same reasons. I'm hoping the remaining pebbles will drop in price so I can buy them all up.

They really should have purchased the tld elgoog just for this prank.

Does Starbucks use WPA2? The last one I was at was open, I just had to click through a terms of service page.

I guess this is a UK thing? I typically look for shaded beer gardens here in the Midwestern United States.

Edit: Plus, direct sunlight can skunk a hoppy beer in minutes.

Re:How to Drink All Night Without Getting Drunk on Friday April 25, 2014 @10:44AM (#7646783)
I go to many craft beer festivals just to "taste" new beers. My main goal when attending beer festivals isn't to get drunk, but to taste a diverse list of new beers. It would be a big win for me if I could sample more and get drunk less.

Because anyone could do that and send the photo to Dorian who then tweets it as Satoshi.
