Kirth

This has been stuck in my mind for a while. The past months, whenever I searched for something I would get covered in pages upon pages of SEO-friendly copywriter bullshit without real content; it's driving me mad.

How possible would it be, to build something like this?

> half the time all I want are shoes or clothing that fit, and often that criteria eliminates 95+% of the stock stores seem to keep these days.

I feel you: have wasted many hours the past two years in clothing stores to discover nothing fits (in ways that can't easily be corrected by tailors).

Haven't managed to buy much new clothing in the past few years because of it.

Did you notice any other effects from your fast?

I always wonder about cases where a person's work depresses them as such that they start self-medicating (for example, with alcohol). Would that still be self-imposed, or a result of the circumstances?

I found it surprisingly comfortable to read :)

P-code (portable machine code) as a term is also used for generic virtual machines (JVM, CLR).

This really resonates with me. I guess at some point games et all stopped being mentally "rewarding" to us.

The way CBD interacts with your serotonergic system is very complicated. In short, there are many ways CBD may increase serotonin by activating the serotonin receptors but not causing re-uptake, thus increasing the amount of serotonin in the synapses.

CBD is a very interesting substance. My main gripe is that, to get antidepressant and anxiolytic effects, dosages are higher than what can conveniently (and affordably) be achieved with the strength of currently available drops/flowers on the market.

"Vriesland" is an old spelling for Friesland (Frisia).

I saw this article pop up elsewhere on the web and am a bit surprised all the reactions here seem to take the article at face value because of its holistic content.

And as some other people on the Internet have pointed out [0]: spanking and physical punishments seem to be a big part of Inuit child rearing [1]. In fact, modern studies about child and adult abuse show concerning figures [2]

Hi! I moved to Germany a year ago and have been consuming a lot of media to learn the language.

Have you considered publishing the works yourself/making them available (as ebooks) online?

And if you are unlucky (Belgian IT salaries aren't that great compared to the rest of Western Europe) you gets bumped a tax class, possibly making those donations a net loss.

"An improperly handled human defecation resulted in a tomato plant taking root which was also destroyed."

Could be opened by a passenger.

I haven't been remembering my dreams for almost a decade now. Is this good, is this bad? Does anyone have a similar experience?

My BMW did not come with such a fob slot but still required you to dig the key out to press the (un)lock buttons. Weird transition.

Chickens can be proper evil buggers. Slaying is júst the word you are looking for.

A bit painful to read considering the iPhone SE-series is now discontinued. (Despite that the SE is still a very good phone. Wish more manufacturers made devices with these dimensions and polish.)

How's that going? To the best of my intentions I've only managed a goldfish, a turtle and a horse.

Kirth is a good boy's name, by the way ;). Good training in patience when explaining the pronunciation.

I mainly know (and am) the nerdy type that wears skinny jeans. The "bigger is better, why would you want such a small thing" crowd is alien and bewildering to me ;). Humans seem to optimize for echo chambers.

Did you find it hard to increase your calorie intake? This is something I've been struggling with for a while. Especially since I don't deal well with lactose getting in enough calories and protein can be a bit daunting.

What are your "trick foods" that contain a good amount of calories but are good to eat?

Is your friend Sterling Archer?

The CLR/runtime to optimizes that code into SIMD instructions, if the hardware allows for it.

The SQL API is exciting stuff! Great work, Flink team!

Are you by any chance using cellular services? I've been noticing the same thing when trying to visit certain Google search results. (This domain works fine on o2 4g though)

Seeing that 20 second start-up time [of the Slack OS X desktop app] in the video on the site was kind of painful :/.

That's a bit misleading. Spiders may grow more than one ring during a good year and less than one during a bad year. But overall, it should average out.

That will give the successor to your plumbing a good scare in a few decades ;).

No, it's not.

It always amazes me what a "normal user" collects on their device when all they really do is use it as an internet machine.
