Krebs on security is FULL of pictures and advice on skimmers of all types.

Yes people don’t know the origin of words and things can be simultaneously one thing (a concentration camp) and other things (death camp, work camp, re-education camp). And we can call that first thing by lots of different names: concentration camp, detention camp, internment camp, resettlement camp.

Just want to clarify in response to the comment from the sanctuary above, many  zoos are non-profit and/or charitable organizations. Most of the large zoos are non-profit conservation and education institutions. Supporting them allows education locally, conservation efforts globally and often the genetic maintenance…

Hey now I can use my grandfather’s slide rule (he was a civil engineer and if you live in the Philadelphia area or the Boston area you drive or ride on things he designed using slide rules. AND the giant fancy compass he had.

I just got the prana Halle pants. They are amazing. The component I love the most is the fact that they have an internal drawstring in addition to zipper and buttons and belt loops if you want. If you are someone like me, who even now in my 40's my waist is usually smaller than the size of pants that my hips and…

To take our minds off the megalomaniacal, doddering fascist in the Whitehouse.

I’m going to pick the job that was simultaneously the most scary, hot, educational, interesting and occasionally grossest.

This wouldn’t work as well with a brush but I have been considering attaching a big block gas-station-bathroom-style to the spare car keys. This is the “Tile” for things that never leave the house but get lost all the time anyway.

Our kids REFUSED to ever receive ice for injuries, even when they were severe enough that I, an under-reactor to childhood bumps and scrapes, thought it was warranted. But it was always unthinkable to take a kid who actually was in pain and then hold them down and force them to apply ice. But ultimately it worked in…

I recently had this while departing Ireland. After we went through regular security screening, we went to a special US departure zone and you go through customs before you even get on the plane. I got to have a nice conversation with a USDA agent who was doing a 2 year tour in Ireland. And then I got my extra special…

I grew up with just a sewing person (clothes, costumes, curtains etc) and the power of fabric scissor separation was still very strong. I try to keep my fabric scissors hidden in with the thread which is not very interesting to people not planning on sewing. I have had dogs eat handles on sewing scissors left on a…

Yes, there is basically one place where research has been done about co-sleeping. Their ultimate recommendation is an attached cosleeper is even safer than children sleeping alone (the hormones involved between parent and child (especially when breastfeeding) reduce the depth of sleep of both parties which ends up…

digikam has some decent editing capabilities and I think designed to do management and workflow and pre-process raw images. And I think the KDE community has good support structures. So give that a look. I have to look at darktable which I have not done yet.

Having an accent and wearing head covering make it harder for people not to notice her otherness and provide good sounds and images to add to news coverage that helps create more attention. And it’s easier to listen to what other people say about her than to form your own opinions. Positive feedback loop.

This is sort of true. But I’m going with Alice in general because I’m interpreting her using the assessment not as “do we have different styles at this one thing” but “can I tolerate the way this person does this thing.” Which is kind of a test of yourself too. For instance my husband and I do museums very…

This and Higher angle, and try to frame it so that no-one has a vertical background element growing right out of their head.

As my name might suggest I am a phd insect ecologist. My research focuses on the impact of non-native plants on ecosystem functioning. And my former major professor goes all over lecturing to gardening groups about planting native plants to share our living spaces with other organisms, specifically related to a book…

My son was 4.5 when my second child was born. My son would NEVER sit in a shopping cart, so I always had a sling with me. My daughter WOULD sit in a cart while shopping. I distinctly recall the first time I took her into the bathroom. I was suddenly there, baby, no sling, and nearly peeing on myself trying to get the…

It’s just that the majority of really rich people that have done this in the past are just regular old non-famous conservative rich people. So the liberals who can afford to do this are going to include celebrities.

For my daughter’s birthday I have twice convinced her to have lemon-blueberry cake. Both my kids hate cake! I hate frosting but a minimally sweetened cream cheese with lemon extract and zest, lemon curd between layers, a lot of lemon zest (pithy!) and extract in the batter. and then well dried candied lemon peels as…
