Although there's other's that are a little more true to Bisson's dialog, that's my favorite for the actors, and especially the background music.
Having accumulated points on various platforms, in my experience, United and Alaska had much better availability for close-in flights than Delta. Dunno if there's a difference between redeeming on the Chase site versus…
Agreed. Anyone interested should check out a report out of Vanderbilt, "The Loyalty Trap: How Loyalty Programs Hook Us with Deals, Hack our Brains, and Hike Our Prices."…
Not great waveforms, to my ear. Decent UI for a first cut -- trying it out, I found it really addictive. Makes me want to learn more about beats.
Unasked & unanswered: over what range of myopia will these be effective? Minus 5, -7, -13? Can they handle astigmatism, either automatically or from an initial prescription? They need to send a high-myope reporter in to…
>The solution is a non-national global reserve, calculated on a basket of national currencies. This was Keynes argument at Bretton Woods, but the US would not have it then, and does not want it now. But what does the US…
"admitting" could also be in the sense of "disclosing". I wouldn't expect anyone, even an elected leader, to immediately disclose a health issue that requires some amount of understanding and decision-making. There's a…
Thanks for the replies re OO's security issues, they're lighting a fire under me to make the move.
I started using OpenOffice a couple decades ago when I got tired of pirating the market leader. Not wanting to start any religious wars, but I still haven't made the leap to Libre.
My HP 1320m Laser Printer is still printing after 20 years. No streaks or blotches. It has issues when drawing paper from the lower tray, but still printing and duplexing fine. No proper drivers for newer OSX versions,…
Available to devices "with iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4." Apple, yet again: you must, MUST upgrade, whether you want to or not. Apple will rearrange buttons for no discernible reason and change behaviors without giving any…
Have you come into the scenario where a doctor's office is trying to find your medical records? Or a hospital? Or an emergency room, trying to fetch them from an office in another town or country? Better to have a good…

I see discussion that the OP was about headshots for a different frame of reference, but passport/visa photos are an interesting comparable. Every country has their own standard (dimensions, framing, glasses/no glasses,…
The amount of travel industry software is huge, and a mix of ancient and new. Makes sense, but would take years.

Any more, I'd rather they just gave me lottery tickets. My payout rate has been the same.
I had a friend in that situation one year. He reported some imaginary income that brought him up over that limit. Paid the tax on it, received the subsidy, and was able to continue with his existing ACA healthcare plan…
My favorite start up, with regard to cashflow, was where the CEO would tell us at every company meeting how many months of cash we had in the bank at our current burn. They pissed me off in other ways, though, and I…
Under US bankruptcy law, cash first goes to employees, then creditors (including contractors), then owners.
My sister got bit by one of these when she googled a name brand PC support company that she had used before. The search results included a phone number that connected her to these hackers. From there, they pretty much…
And which area of Portland? I've had generations of neighbors who I've never spoken with, or just hello'd. None that I've even sat down to dinner with.
A crying child right next to me is difficult, but I've never blamed the parents. A crying child a couple rows away? Somehow relaxing to know someone else is having a worse flight than I am. (Either the kid or the…
Back in the day, I'd flip it around to display the Fry's ad.
I've given two weeks notice to employers I didn't like, and had immediate layoffs from employers I liked exceptionally, so I don't feel I should have any obligation in that regard except to myself. I'll the factors that…
