We had a German foreign student that stayed with us for many months and he sweared by the garlic thing.  He’d eat a whole head of it and always felt better.

I agree.  They were so close it was really hard to tell.  I didn’t use headphones so that could have been part of the reason why they seemed so close but i’d say almost 10 sounded virtually identical to the lead in tones.

HEAT by far. It’s perfection to me.

I’d also say that comparing the NYT, WSJ and the Economist to any of the sites in his second paragraph is laughable if not hilarious.  

Or maybe the company has been bleeding money for years and years and now that Nancy has had enough time to fully understand its structure she’s making a necessary move to try and become profitable. Media isn’t like Silicon Valley tech where losing gobs of money is acceptable. When you get a billion dollars in cash…

It’s the name equivalent of holding your tongue between your thumb and forefinger and saying apple.

I don’t know where else to pose this question but this article is close enough... I just finished driving from Denver to MSP after my flight was cancelled and once we reached Iowa and Minnesota (especially the latter) we started seeing a bunch of semis dead on the roadside. What was the likely cause? Were they trucks…

Can anyone explain why they were cancelling flights? My flight from Denver to MSP was cancelled on Tuesday due to the weather but I never got a specific reason why. Someone said de-icer stops working (or the machines themselves do) at a certain temperature but I can’t find any real evidence of that. Especially…

I heard from a friend (here in MSP MN) that on Tuesday and Wednesday Delta airlines was busing all their employees to the parking lot and waiting to see if their cars started. If they didn’t, the employee was brought back on the bus and they had airplane mechanics on board that went out to work on their cars to get…

I’m so happy there is a cold start video of a train.

Today I learned that Russia has a whole bunch of (what I see as) unconventional nuclear weapons:

Agreed 100%. Highlighting the difficulty of cutting out these companies wholesale was valid for this series; but not making the distinction that the privacy concerns that have prompted people to want to drop these companies from their control of the cloud (and the difference) would have been a much better way of…

What’s the difference between what Microsoft was doing with IE in the beginning and what they are doing now (still bundling IE or Edge or whatever it is now)? Or what Apple does with Safari or Google with Chrome? Is it just that people are more well versed in the existence of other browsers and are capable of…

I think on the flip side though there is a very large swath of the general public that has no understanding of the cloud and how the 3 main players (AWS, Azure and Google) function as the computing backbone of most of the Apps and Services we use. If you’re not into tech or into tech news you could very easily assume…

HQ seems to be struggling for users lately. The average user count is so low compared to what it was.

I’d say over 70% of the times that I have played I’ve lost on the first question because I stopped paying attention and didn’t realize the game FINALLY started. Games are starting close to 8 minutes after the hour now. It’s ridiculous.

Plus Scott’s pregame schtick is not that entertaining anymore.  Save it for between…

It’s one thing to use a platform that subjects you to targeted advertising and be accepting of such. I fundamentally understand how Facebook and Google use our information to make money and to provide their services without cost.  I’ve come to terms with the fact that if I google “DSLR Cameras” that for the next month…

RUF wins.

At least not ALL billionaires are reacting this way. Ray Dalio who runs one of the largest hedge funds in the world agrees with AOC about the issue but isn’t fully on board with her tax plan.

THIS!  I didn’t even know Divx was still a thing.
