    Some time ago, I saw a documentary on life in Siberia. A couple with a new baby had chunks of frozen milk on their back porch, which they would then knock off a smaller chunk, put it in a pan on the stove and melt down for the baby. No bags, No cartons, no nothing but big (like watermelon size) chunks of milk. And I…

    Me, too, so I know which ones to uninstall. Jeez, so unnecessary. 

    And yet, baseball stadiums are full and all the games are broadcast locally. (I don’t think any baseball games are blacked out locally on the local TV stations.) Baseball is fine, although I do agree that ticket prices are way out of line. It doesn’t need to get any bigger to line billionaire owner or…

    The movie, “Jeremiah Johnson”, is supposedly based on the book, “The Mountain Men”. I have read the book and seen the movie. Both are awesome.

    Well, to be fair, these ships have bow thrusters for manoeuvring that are so good that they probably could have docked the ship without the tugs. The tugs are probably required by the local law. (Just guessing.) Their radar probably told them their postition by GPS to the centimeter.  Still possible to have accidents,…

    Indeed, the “feed the developers” is probably and usually the correct answer. Why pay a developer (or artist) who tells you that “my considered opinion is that you shouldn’t change anything”? In fact, I would feel comfy claiming that is the reason for most software changes (that don’t involve speed, usability, u/x,…

    Well, trying to explain in 10 words or less the religious part of a philosophy is probably impossible, but there are good reasons (and philosophical basis, of a sort, in Tibetan Buddhism) for what he is saying. And the Dalai Lama is purposely, as is his right and responsibility, “making it up as he goes”, since there…

    I am guessing someone “cut-and-pasted” a CSS Grid for rows that had an unknown typo (or the extra rows that were originally or supposed to be commented out or something). Just my amateur’s guess, really. Still, with 2 of my favorite topics (food and travel) from one of my favorite journalistas, I was very much happy…

    When the article mentioned Venice, I assumed it meant Venice, Italy. So, I can relate to being unable to relate. You sound like a (and I am a) Buddhist that happens to be a Westerner, that also happens to have few (to no) friends, mental issues that feel simply okay if everyone else could just cope with me as I have…

    Actually, I couldn’t wait and found it so I could watch it. Thank you very much.

    Kate, the “thetakeout.com” site’s “Complete Guide to Parts Unknown” is semi-broken. One needs to scroll past 20 colorful sections of color only to get to the link to the guide, which once one clicks on that link, takes one to that article, which looks so far to be ok. (I just peeked to see if that article was…

    Correct. I completely missed that symbol. Page 2, lower right. °°°°°°. Thanks.

    Inaccurate? Please see above links to the term “concentration camp”. There is nothing inaccurate in AOC’s statement.

    And she’s absolutely correct. If one looks up “concentration camp” on, say, dictionary.com, one gets:

    I don’t know if the International English Unicode has changed since 2012 but, here in good ole 2019, ALT + 0176 is what gets you the little degree symbol, as in 32°. Interesting that one needs to use the numerical keybad on a pc, vice the numbers above the keyboard in a row. Using the numbers above the letters gets…

    Nice idea but I rarely even see cash. I have had the $50 bill in my wallet for at least 3 months. 

    Agreed. Also, in every post that I saw made by writers who cover the Nats, they echoed the term “the CT Scan was negative”. ?? What the heck does that mean? I suspect none of them knew so just passed the info along. End or they all knew, considered something “everybody knows the meaning of and so trivial they don’t…

    The Washington Nationals are famous (infamous?) for utterly-cautious diagnoses. Guys go on the 10-Day IL and stay for 3-6 months at a time. Having the doctor in the pay of the team, rather than the players, is getting more silly by the day, so to sppeak.
