Isn’t that Batman?

I was confused why a package manager would need to import posts from a social network.

Why name a new product the same as a very popular existing product?

That’s because you’re not getting them from the original source. Scene releases come in multi-volume zipped rars. I don’t know why they need to be double archived, but they are. But lots of people will take those, unarchive, then re-upload or put them up in a torrent.

With the introduction of AJAX, web pages became apps. It was the advent of SPAs and SASS. Which enabled the things you saw as a consumer.

Yes, sometimes I see something that looks interesting and click to learn more. But I think more often than not I’ll just open an incognito window and search for it instead of clicking on the ad.

here in Ur

Wow, I never really thought about how long Ur has stood. The city was already 2000 years old in 1750 BCE

Yes, but 15 spelling variations doesn’t mean the name wad spelled 15 times in total (as the comment I replied to says), because each variation can be used multiple times.

Ok, I now see the discrepancy in the article (“misspelled 14 different ways” and “spelled 14 different ways”). I was confused by the commenter’s phrasing (“spelled 15 times in total”)

No it doesn’t. He could have his name show up 100 times in the documents, 30 of which are misspelled. The 30 misspelled occurrences would show 14 unique spelling variations.

Edit: I see what you mean now. He spelled his name in 15 different ways if he misspelled it in 14 ways (unless he never spelled it right)

Not just compared to the other surfaces in a restroom. I believe keyboards and phones both lost to toilet seats in that comparison too.

In my area (San Francisco Bay Area) it depends on how much pedestrian traffic is expected. I live in the suburbs and, as I said, the walking light only goes on if the button is pressed. But if I go to San Francisco itself, lights are all on a timer (and there are no buttons at all).

Also, some of the traffic crossing buttons don’t make the walk cycle come sooner, but they occasionally are needed to insert a walk cycle at all, because some intersections don’t trigger a walk cycle unless the button has been pressed.

Some? In my area all the lights require a button press for a walk cycle. Even if the traffic lights turn red for the cars (e.g. in an intersection for cross-traffic), the pedestrian lights will stay red too unless the button was pressed.

Pills? Iron supplements come in liquid form for that age.

I’m turning 40, I have 2 kids, and my self-image hasn’t changed since high-school. I have to consciously think about it to realize that other people see an adult when looking at me. Like my first reaction when I do something “grown-up” is to woder if people are impressed by a kid acting so mature, and then I realize that I’m not a kid anymore.

I have 2 children. Insurance covered almost everything. The out of pocket expenses for the hospital were something like $700, not thousands. For doctor’s visits it was just the $20 co-pay for each visit, and all the labs were fully covered.

Back in high-school there was a street I had to cross on my way to school and there were no traffic lights at that crosswalk. It was a high speed street and there were lights at major intersections before and after that crosswalk, so cars tended to just blow through it regardless of anyone waiting to cross.

The biggest problem was not waiting for a car to stop, it was a car stopping on the first lane, forcing me to start crossing, only for a car to come shooting through the second lane without wondering why the other is stopped. That’s why I learned to avoid using the crosswalk, it was the most dangerous place to cross the street. I chose a place without a crosswalk where I could cross when I saw that both lanes are safe.

Yeah, I was too lazy to find a better description for it and didn’t want to go into valences

The stuff around us is made out of molecules. Most molecules are made out of more than one atom. Oxygen, the gas, is made out of oxygen molecules. An oxygen molecule is made out of two oxygen atoms. So O2. When you hear “pure oxygen”, it’s about the substance oxygen (O2), as in pure from other găsesc, not the element oxygen (O).

Now you can also have O or O3 molecules, but those have an electric charge (aka ions), so they’re unstable and prone to bond with other elements or to break apart. A gas made out of monoatomic oxygen would be extremely reactive.

I was thinking there must be younger siblings in the back, so he had to travel in front. But now I realize both parents were there, so that means one of the parents is in the back seat…

are often brought over as cheap labor, undercutting local labor

I came to the US on a work visa and my company had to pay thousands of dollars for the visa fee, prove that my salary is in line with local averages, publicly post a job opening for the position I was going to fill, and in general show proof that there are no equally or better qualified local candidates for the job. I don’t see how they could have gotten my visa approved if they tried to pay me less.
