I’ve been on this for 20 years. The guy has coffee table books! He cashes checks! He took something that was previously done anonymously and for free, put his name on it and started charging for it. Good luck to him, but anonymous he is not.
Yes, putting out cones. Bending over, laying down a cone, taking five steps, laying another. Hard work. Meanwhile Malcolm Gladwell changes his mind about it. Put out some cones, Malcolm!

The rule only applies to vowel sounds like the ones in believe/receive. There are versions of the rhyme that attempt to include this caveat.

I looked it up. Rule 5.4 of the American Bar Association.
They have, let’s not call it a union to not upset people, but let’s say a collective agreement that they won’t work for capital. They will only work for other lawyers. So there’s no Walmart Law or other enterprise selling legal services for cheap.
3 seconds would not matter to me. As it is, latencies are much higher and afford time for my family group chat (WhatsApp) to "spoil" events that I have not yet seen. I don't want to ignore the chat. :(

I love this generally but some of it has leaked out to the wrong people and there are strong cargo cults around such things as one codebase===one app.

Tell us what distro you recommend?
There's MEME if you wanted to bet for instead. For betting against I don't know if there is an ETF yet but you can short MEME manually.
Yes and then spend a lifetime with annoying workarounds. A friend has been double knotting forever :(

I know this isn’t quite the same as what’s happening in the article, but: what do you use when referring to a singular person of unknown gender?
The Super Bowl in 2013 featured an intentional safety. Losing points but running the clock down. The play was predicted by one attendee at the party I was at —- a British gentleman whose introduction to football had been the Madden games.

The Volt was an instant classic and you're very lucky to have one. IMO the best EVs right now are coming out of Korea but things are moving very fast and I'm expecting good things from the big 3.

Last time I looked into this I implemented some stuff from Astronomical Algorithms https://www.amazon.com/dp/0943396352 which was more fun for me than just grabbing the data.
Re:The Beatle Who Got Away on Wednesday March 30, 2022 @07:35AM (#30853764)
Listing the Beatles in order of genius is a fun game and endlessly debatable but it’s not clear to me who you are referring to respectively. It reads as if the first two you mention are Paul and John in some order, but that would leave the “rhythm guitarist” to be George, but he is more often described as the lead guitarist. If this was bait, you got me!

Question for consumer users of this service who are also Apple users — how does it compare to Apple’s password management?
But maybe less fun because of the weight.
Sorry, I meant that they should have learned about drug safety in medical school, not that they should have learned about this specific drug.
They are supposed to have learned about it in medical school. If not, that's fine, maybe doctors shouldn't be allowed to prescribe and maybe only pharmacists should be allowed. My point is that it's a very valuable professional quality and we should put the responsibility where the quality is.
Yes, I do blame law makers and manufacturers too.
