The state shouldn't be able to take your life outside of war. I've had this strict belief since junior high, maybe because I was raised catholic. I don't understand how anyone can see otherwise. Do you want your neighbors to be able to kill you?

There was about a paragraph and then nothing but ads. Don't bother clicking.

Options can be worthless I've had two friends whose options were clawed back. Exercise the options asap - harder to steal the stock back than the options.

I have property in zone 4a. It's in WI about thirty minutes south of Lake Superior. I had read that they have pawpaw at UW Madison so I bought five seedlings as an experiment. The first year two survived the winter. The next year one of them was hit by a mower and died. The survivor is still alive after five years.

Pawpaw reproduce sexually so this year I bought five more plants from a farm in Michigan. These were older than seedlings and not cheap. Anything to wed my lone pawpaw.

Ilk know in the spring if any survived the winter.

Besides accessing your page are random people able to use your server as an exit node? Am I thinking the right thing... I met someone in Switzerland that was hosting anonymous exit nodes to some anonymous network and he said that it was a pain having to explain what was happening to the police.

When I moved to Switzerland I was given a bunch of funny stories about integration. Most were relevant (e.g. if you're American don't invite your subordinates to a weekend bbq) but one story that wasn't relevant but particularly funny was a British man who met his old father returning from a first vacation in France. He asked his father how it went and the father said it was horrible. Everytime he asked someone 'where is the train station' the French people would practically fall on the ground laughing. The French word for train station is la gare, while the word for war is la guerre, and so when an old British man would run up to them and shout where is the war, well...

I wonder if your bad cholesterol goes up in this case? This is because the liver uses cholesterol to create gall enzymes, which it excretes into the gall bladder with a bunch of left-over cholesterol too.

The smell of jet fuel often (not always though) gives me a splitting headache.

The problem with that is that there are rivers and streams emptying into the bay. All of that water has to make it to the sea somehow.

My prediction is that republican-led states are going to implement this for voting and throw their state elections into chaos, while states that don't implement do just fine.

There were a lot of other games we regularly played (car wars, some card-based baseball league simulator, and others) but that one doesn't sound familiar.

We used to play it in junior high and high school. My neighborhood was all boys (except some weekends when daughters of divorced parents were visiting). We were pretty nerdy and in summers would play DnD, axis and allies, risk, just about everything. And diplomacy! Diplomacy was a perfect multi-tasking game. At the beginning you could have several moves a day but as the game goes on and negotiations get more complex we would often just have one move a day. We had games that lasted all summer and when school started again we'd flip the board. :)

Yeah I don't know what movie it was - just that the topic was explosions in Japan.

Cell is not one of "these journals". Publishing to Cell, Nature, Science used to guarantee tenure track for a young professor although I'm not sure if that's still the case.

I think it's missing some. There are a couple of hotsprings off the highway between Ventura and Ojai. They're 'wild' and completely natural - you can make your own pools using rocks and sand for dams. I saw Steven Spielberg once when I was there with a few people - he was reminiscing with another guy about the problems they had filming something...

Edit: I think it was empire of the sun. They were talking about how difficult it was to film explosions in Japan.

The *arr family of software (sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, bazarr) are so convenient that I sometimes feel bad for these content companies. I'm traveling for a few weeks now and my server is just updating all of the shows I subscribed too and movies I may have added months ago that are just coming out now. I don't watch much tv (few hours a week) but over the years I've had so many friends and relatives that have wanted to get on my server and have requested shows/movies to be added. There's software that can automate that step as well but I haven't installed it because I'm worried about how quickly the drives would fill up - currently at about 40TB.

There’s been sites that do this for years.

The chief of Montreal police smells like cheese!

He makes a pretty attractive black woman. Talk about confusing...

My plan was to always "retire" to a comfy university job but I no longer feel that way - I still really enjoy what I do.

Isn't NSMutableArray a subclass of NSArray in a few languages?

Before Covid I got my German B1 certificate. I was diligently going to German-speaking meetup twice a week.

One of the meetups had a bunch of googlers in it regularly. One of them was a loud gregarious Italian from the north. He was telling me a story about cleaning fish and chopping their heads off with a machete and how he cut the end of his finger off and had it reattached. He seemed nice but a little inept and lacking caution.

Covid was starting. In the newspapers it was reported that Zurich had its first case of Covid. They were cautious to not say who it was - no clues at all in the paper. But a friend at Google forwarded me an internal email that said no one at Google had it yet other than someone in the Zurich office who had just been in northern Italy.

I stopped going to the meetups. I really should start again but not sure what's going to happen next.

It used to be Chinese panels were the worse quality with short lifespans. Now they're everywhere.

It's just a bunch of drama from two American companies trying to lock in their lead via government regulation. Meanwhile I'll just keep using open-weight models.

Don't you normally have about a kilo (or 500g?) excess as backup energy stored in your muscles and liver(?)? Why would taking a few dozen grams help?

My wife and I have used electric toothbrushes (sonicare) for years. I used to shop for the best deal and the lifetimes on the brushes was not great - the battery would hold less and less charge to the point you had to charge it daily or sometines the body would crack and the brush just fail completely.

During the pandemic I decided to try a different approach by buying the model with the largest battery. This is of course their most expensive model and has a bunch of features you'll never use (WiFi, rfid, etc). They are still going strong after six years. I would have had to replace a cheaper model at least once in this timeframe - even two.

Yesterday I saw a full-sized 100% electric Volvo semi-truck here in Zurich. It was owned by Aldi and making a delivery to one of their stores. It was a bit louder than I expected but nevertheless impressive.

Why is all this drama coming only from the American companies?

Every now and then I look through the cables and take out the ones I no longer have hardware for. We have a cargo-tram every couple of months where you can bring things for disposal that don't go to normal garbage or recycling. Supposedly they recycle the cables but I suspect that means incinerating them (to generate electricity) and collecting the metal after.

I never heard of muse the band. I never heard of meta's muse either.
