You son of a bitch. I'm in.

The article is instructing users how to configure Mac OS' built-in Mail application into a minimal form. The preferences dialog pictured is from that application.

The Slashdot article title depoliticizes this, but TFA is emphatic about this being staged by pro-Trump supporters. I think the original article's title is valuable.

It is understood

That if you know that I know

How to say it "correctly"

(The exact meaning of which

I have not yet learned)

Then I am entitled to say it

All incorrectly

Which, once in a rare while

Will make you laugh.

And I love when you so much

Whenever you laugh.

But I haven't learned yet

What love may be

But I love to love

And love being loved

And that is a whole lot

Of unlearnedness.

I'm pretty sure I have a (very) mild form of trichotillomania, where I pick at my beard absentmindedly and pull out "odd" hairs more often than I'd like. Trying to be conscious about it has already improved the issue as I've aged, but I have always harbored a desire to find out if hypnotism would help. Any idea if this kind of behavior has been eased by your styles of therapies?

Logged in just to ask this, too

(Sending some kudos your way, too, having lost many an hour to that Easter egg on otherwise-game-deprived school machines.)

You have described the exact use case the Google Clips [0] camera seems to have been designed for.

Maybe older: were the tools _Carbon_ dated?

There's plenty of science behind micro-expressions and detection of deception.

Paul Ekman [0] is "ranked 59th out of the 100 most cited psychologists of the twentieth century" and I thought the TV show based on his research [1] was very entertaining. (I am surprised that the article used the phrase "micro-expression" without any reference to Ekman's work.)

This is the worst advice I have ever encountered. Anywhere. Ever.

Do not waste time dousing your house with a hose, just get your stuff quickly and get out of there safely.

Not a minor nitpick at all. Physical buttons are also moving parts.

You should be getting 10x that mileage out of a cassette - replacement after less than a thousand miles sounds awfully unusual.

Email generally offers one more control over one's own workflow, and perhaps the opportunity to be a bit more focused, in an otherwise constantly-connected environment.

Code wizards need time on the lonely mountain to learn new spells.

Flagged for big fat title typo; this is called "Slug"!

While it would have only been a blip on the century's graph, there _was_ this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_famine_of_1944–45

That's probably a reasonable estimate (including stock compensation) for the companies mentioned.

Except it originally stood for "Yet Another Markup Language"[1], and the newer name only means to separate it from HTML and other document-oriented markup languages.

Thank you anyway for your efforts; I hope you interpret this as a validation of your having correctly identified a sorely-needed tool.

0.05 is a multiplier.

Seems like this title could use a question mark; the author is an external speculator.

This is the equivalent of either a terrible railway accident (six tanker railcars at 30k gallons apiece), or a horrific motorway accident (upwards of 18 or more for very large truck tankers in the 10k gallon range).

They have cleaned up ~20% and are presumably taking their sweet time until spring, when snowmelt will cause enough flow in the currently-frozen portions of the creek to help hide their shame.

> North Dakota officials estimate more than 176,000 gallons of crude oil leaked from the Belle Fourche Pipeline into the Ash Coulee Creek.

> Since 2006, [operators Wyoming-based True Cos.] have reported 36 spills totaling 320,000 gallons of petroleum products...

According to this article's cited numbers, this single spill is larger than all of the previous decade's 35 reported spills ... COMBINED.

These protests could not be more timely. I can only imagine how many spilled gallons have gone unreported: this spill was discovered by a landowner, not the intended automated monitoring equipment.
