That's $30 down the drain.

A friend once tried to convince me to purchase a Rocket Appartmento to upgrade my morning experience. Having to wait 30 m for the boiler was a no go. My ol' reliable does just fine for the first hit.

No we're not. You're not entitled to our attention.

You can do whatever you want. I think the message is clear that there is limited support for AI here. So if you choose that as your "medium" it may meet with limited traction.

should i give up the idea because i can't create it without AI?

Yes.

Finns pronounce every vowel. If there are two of them then get pronounced twice. So Snoopy becomes Sno-o-o-opy and boom becomes bo-o-o-om. Double consonants get a syllable length pause so happy becomes hap_py.

I worked with a Finn and they celebrated book day. Or as he pronounced it, bo-o-o-ok day.

Why go through the expense?

I think they just add water to bring down the fat content. All the other nutrients fall in proportion.

Here's the core issue: people like me just don't care. I have heard sun safety messages for decades. I taught in a med school for many years and have seen all the evidence and blah blah blah. And I still don't care. Skin cancers are easily identifiable and respond well to treatment. And I enjoy being outside.

I wear sunscreen but don't reapply it often enough, and will go shirtless sometimes to avoid the dreaded farmer tan. I'm 60 and not trying to pretend I'm a teenager. The cancer that scares me are the organ cancers that linger undetected.

Andy Williams wasn't an actor, he was a famous performer in his day with best selling albums and a television variety show. He retired to Branson and engaged with the community theater. I have no idea who Roger is or why OP thinks this is a precious artifact.

 

All I want to do is not get media played when I don't want it. And I already block ads. But this #$&@ thing blocks the x that would close the media.

In the old days almost everyone skated to classical music which was almost always in the public domain.

A few years ago the rules shifted to allow skating to music with lyrics, which opened the door to contemporary tunes.

That change has come with a host of issues including broadcast rights if the performance is televised, or differing rights depending on the country of performance. A routine can be peformed in some competitions in some places but not others.

 

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

 

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

 

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

 

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
