irrational

As a kid, I had no idea they would someday print books, so each day I cut out the strip from the newspaper and paste it into a book. I’m sure my mom threw it away decades ago, but I wish I still had it.

As a child I identified with Calvin. Now as a 50+ year old I find I identify much more with the dad.

Maybe if your camera is broken? Or you are using one of those phones built without a camera (like the ones issued to people who work at secure government sites)?

LOL. What this tells me is I should never fly on a Boeing aircraft ever again. I wonder how much Boeing had to pay Trump to get the FAA to say this.

I have the same issue with board gamers. Now, admittedly it isn't as intrusive as audio/video uploads. But so many want to record the game along with the names of the players. When I request they don't use my actual name and just put Player A (or whatever) they look at me like I'm a weirdo. When did it become weird to want as little information about yourself to be online?

I just searched "Firefox" in the app store. The top result is Google Chrome with an Ad indicator (Google paid for higher placement). Second is Firefox.

Have you actually used Vue or any of the other options in a full application? Because what you are saying doesn’t match my experience.

It reminds me of the game MicroMacro

And here I am - an ancient history grad with a career in STEM. Life is odd.

Why better than law school grads?

Is it just genetic? On my father’s side, people typically live to 100 at a minimum and are perfectly healthy mentally and physically right up till a week or so before they die. My grandmother is 103 and can still lives alone in her house and can walk unassisted, has a memory sharp as anything, and so on. Maybe look at long lived families and figure out what is different about them?

So, it is surrounded by the least educated states. I guess that explains the stupid name.

> The flight test began with Super Heavy successfully lifting off by igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf of America.

It took me a moment to remember what the Gulf of America is. What stupidity.

How exactly can a website restrict itself in a single state?

I always keep my ICE cars for at least 25 years. It is crazy to me that people are getting rid of them after only 12 years.

Five out of six ain’t bad. Though, if my man boobs get a bit bigger…

And who did they fire? Everyone with longevity and experience. Makes sense from an accountant’s perspective. Those would be the people with the highest salaries. Doesn’t make sense from a technical perspective.

How I look it is, if I’m aware of the risk and do nothing to mitigate it and then down the road one of my kids who sleeps in the basement develops cancer…

The air is under your slab. How would it be replaced by fresh air inside the house?

Just the materials cost was $500. How are they doing labor for $150?

$5000? I got a bunch of quotes and none came anywhere near that high and I live in a home that made it difficult to install the system (finished basement, large footprint, three stories tall, concrete outer walls (ICF), etc. I think the highest was $3,000 and the lowest $1,600. I ended up installing it myself for about $500 in materials.

Drill a 6” hole through the concrete foundation and dig out about 15-20 gallons worth of material. Install a 3-4” PVC pipe into the hole (the end of the pipe should be a few inches below the bottom of the foundation) and seal the hole up with hydraulic cement. Continue the PVC pipe up out out of the house. There are lots of rules around distance of the outlet from windows and doors and how high above roof line. Inline install a radon fan. How big a fan you need depends on many factors like soil type, home dimensions, etc. The fan runs 24/7 creating a vacuum under the house.

It would be radon, wouldn’t it?

The second leading cause of lung cancer is radon. My high schooler came home and said her science teacher said everyone should do a radon test. I scoffed, but humored her by getting a kit from Home Depot and sending it away to a lab. The results came back very high. So I purchased an electronic radon monitor and it showed almost the exact same results. Well, crap. I installed a radon mitigation system and now the numbers are almost nil.

Wouldn’t the real fix be to use an animated gif?

My son is left handed. Nobody else in my or my wife’s family is or has been left handed, that we know of. And we don’t live in one of the mentioned areas. It seems odd, but I’ve never looked into it.

Earliest historical laws. By definition, anything before writing is pre-history.

It’s dead Jim.

I assume we hugged it to death.

> The Martian is generally considered a comedy

How general is generally? I’ve never heard anyone come close to suggesting it is a comedy.

Because the author reported it. Personally I would have told the ublock origin developers instead of google.
