Lane assist is an absolute menace. It gets turned off in any rental I get in.

Remember that time we legalized cannabis and it had literally zero impact on society? Let's do that with the rest of them too.

Matchbox is pretty hardcore. I usually lead with coffee or a beer after work.

Although now that I think about it...to match up with grade school you should ask everyone at the office to your birthday party and see who shows up. You should also give everyone a Valentine 😏

I am older. It's not hard to socialize at all. What's missing are two key ingredients: i) you have to meet a lot of people to make a good friend. In school there were probably hundreds of children around your age at your school, at the playground, on your sports teams etc. You wound up being good friends with 4 or 5? Apply that to your adult life and you probably don't have the same volume of connections, so the friend making process is slower.

ii) You need to spend big chunks of time with them, some of it unstructured. Again school and university is set up like this. Adult life is generally not. If you have kids in sports that's probably the closest thing you can get to replicating the grade school situation. But see i. You'll wind up not vibing with most of the parents you hang out with.

Podcasts, music, film, paintings, novels...Linux distributions, ice cream flavor sales...literally everything.

No. It's from when the West was Nebraska and the Dakotas.

Don't look up "let".

 

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.

Yes and probably not. And hell no for the third question you didn't ask.

It's not poop. And it's not leaving his pooper.

I was one of the unlucky 10,000 the last time this was posted. Let someone else have their day ruined.

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).
