I first heard about this internet thing from Cliff Stoll in The Cuckoo’s Egg. I got on a few years later. For all that we complain, it’s still the most amazing thing ever.
This is how legal reasoning should work.
Yeah, before capitalism you just worked until you died, or your children took care of you. That’s still an option, but you must have kids and they must like you.

The owners of corporations are mostly pension funds and the like.
One thing that Slashdot moderation got right is that you can’t be more than +5 or less than -1. Groupthink is much less forceful with those limitations.

Kroger can and does run nice stores. Kroger Signature, Harris Teeter are two I've been in relatively recently. You're also only going to find those in the same kinds of places you'd find a Trader Joe's or Costco - only…
Yeah, it's one of the products where you are clearly paying an Apple tax for the hardware, but OTOH it's also one of the products where it's clearest that the Apple tax is paying for software that's both good and…

If you clean a house once a month, it will take longer than doing the same thing once a week. You will end up spending more hours total, but it won't be four hours per visit, more like one or two. You spread the tasks…
But presumably would not be for four hours a week, since they would do more maintenance-like cleaning. Once a month, yeah, it’s going to take that long.
Park City, Utah - although there were meters that could accept card or cash available, none worked. App was the only functional way to pay. This was 3-4 years ago, not during ski season but getting close to it (October…
Why? A cheap probe ultrasonic mixer is $500 on Amazon, small, and would take forever. An immersion blender is $17 at Walmart and does it in seconds for a half-liter of mayo or hollandaise. If you need more than 500 mL…
Surrounded by a bunch of stuff that isn’t the ovum. “There is at most one cell in an unfertilized bird egg” is not the same as “an unfertilized bird egg is one cell and nothing more”.

Yes, NY has similar policies. Many of us do not have that option.
Assuming you have a public library that offers these things, of course. Much like people talking about how great Libby is; you can get it through my library, but the selection is extremely limited. And very few…
They learn about me. You are a class on your own.

I'll unjinx you by replying to you instead: I'm aware of and like it, but prefer TRON. De gustibus non est disputandum.

Made more or less this point at the time. As a movie? Eh, it was fine. As a Daft Punk music video? Easily their best.
