Isn't that a good thing? Let's you compare easily.

Fun, found myself going over the poles more than I expected.

Doesn't that mean effectively losing market share to devices that do have capabilities in the eu, or that are accepting restrictions, say Android?

Would you mind sharing the age of your kids when you started this approach?

How about harvest? Machines are quite specialized, how do you see that working out?

Neat clone of empire attack (now defunct, https://www.ianandrew.com/empire-attack). Used to play the 10 day variants there which were great fun, although more defense focused I think.

Things like "6,000 vertical feet of climbing, 60 meters of rope at a time" do stand out.

I guess? After they get my email verification code I get a physical usb/nfc request - no idea what it's for/does. A "email login" would have been less of a blocker.

If the label contains sugar, it was added and not inclusive of other whole ingredients. You can buy canned apples (ingredients :apples) and canned apples (ingredients :water, sugar, apples). Guess which costs more.

Unfortunately that wired website seems to be following the enshittification protocol.

The first book is one of my all time favorites, highly recommend. I didn't know there were 2nd and 3rd ones!

How about using something like NaN instead of 0? To not have a small set of calculations being all 0 and missing from a larger end result (which would go to NaN instead).

I hope this is a joke and not serious.

Bicycles are supposed to be on the road, pedestrians are not.

Sorry if I didn't understand correctly, but how did you make the alcohol (celebration), work stress, pandemic stress > GMO link?

50cm is not really good to identify a person. And it's not real time at all. You'd be better off calling the gyms directly.

You personally might not, but the article gives plenty reasons why some might.

On a tangent here, but "not just 3d printing a plastic part" got me thinking.

Scientists, instead of requesting time on Hubble, ask time for the 3DBuilderAndExperimenter, give it a blueprint and inputs/outputs, it runs, returns any results, and is recycled.

Maybe, but that doesn't make the question invalid. If a majority decides a subset of coins is invalid or should not be used, wouldn't that work?
