I had to pay something like a $100 "donation" when I adopted my dog.

But... but... the fond.

What's your GMT offset? If you're in North America, it's at least -5, so you can celebrate the new year at the same as the UK, which would be 7:00 pm eastern.

I guess what I'm saying is, if this is actually something that works, I'd like someone to explain the actual mechanism affecting the change. It's not magic, and I don't think that moisture is leaving the bread and entering the cookies, because there's not really much moisture in bread to begin with, and I don't really…

I'm not sure this jibes with the little bit I know of the chemistry of why baked goods go stale. The article you linked to is concerned with keeping the brownies "moist" by keeping moisture (read: water?) in the brownies. I think, however, that baked goods go stale because they absorb excess moisture, which causes the…

Same, although recently I've been considering trying to celebrate a general winter solstice type of holiday. That's probably a non-starter, but I still like the idea.

Yes, that's correct as far as I know. You require CSS3 in conjunction with the HTML to write a Rule110 machine.

I think, in combination, they are Turing complete, so an argument could made that they are.

That's... a bit darker than I would go. I tend to go the whole educate or marginalize route.

There was a lot of misunderstanding on this thread about what atheism and agnosticism are, so I apologize for sounding condescending if it's something you were always aware of.

I think you're misunderstanding atheism. An atheist doesn't "believe" anything, and that's the entire point. It's not a belief in absence, it's an absence of belief.

Maybe you're just an agnostic atheist. Totally possible to be both of those things.

This is a common misrepresentation of atheism as being a positive identifier, instead of a negative identifier. It's not an affirmative belief in anything, which is the whole point. Atheism is the ABSENCE of belief in a deity, and that's not a faith based claim at all, nor is it an " organized collection of beliefs".…

Yes! It started and I was like, "Copland!?" I mean, it's okay to copy greatness I think, but they didn't retain any of the emotion of their inspiration.

I substitute sweet potatoes for meat sometime. They were on sale this week for $0.49 / lbs at the store.

I always hear people say you should learn to code, it's so beneficial, blah blah blah. I'm a software engineer, and I don't agree that it's a useful skill for most people, but I want to get a sort of informal poll here. Is there anyone who has learned how to code and been able to apply that skill to their job in a way…

I mean, have you been to their website? Read their statement then scroll to the bottom and read their profiles. That is essentially what they are.

I have two dogs, long and short hair. I finally picked this model up when it was on sale, refurbished for something like 60% off on Woot!. It is spectacular. The switch for turning off the brush for hardwoods is genius.
