    Have you tried L-theanine? I also get panic attacks with weed, but L-theanine seems to help keep them at bay.

    I miss working at a place where that was encouraged. Now if I do that the testers complain that it’s not in scope for the ticket and to split the changes into another ticket with a…

    I clicked and bought something via an online ad once. I needed a new jacket and the one in the ad was exactly what I was looking for. I overpaid because the jacket fell apart after…

    This ruling just shifts when a bribe occurs. If I had the money and wanted to affect gov't policy I'd start by "gifting" gratuities to all sorts of politicians "for your past servi…

    As the article says, Ancestry wasn’t selling this data and was linking back to where it had come from. Ancestry also says they will honor robots.txt with instructions not to scrape…

    I doubt it's still used much in web programming, but for backend data processing there are plenty of systems that output XML. XSLT is a great resource when you need to simplify a g…

    Congress was destined to this fate when they eliminated earmarks. Earmarks, or pork barrel spending, were derided as gov't waste, but in reality they were the grease that kept legi…

    That same article says she was born in 1989 and graduated MIT in 1987. I knew she was driven, even before conception!

    You're upset that a fantasy world that is based on a real place, but isn't that place mind you, added a black character? In a world with ice magic, animated snowmen, and singing re…

    Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. Basically the right wing’s latest boogeymen to scare up their base. Think how “woke” has been co-opted and used by pundits to make people angry.

    That would be argued in cross-examination. A witness can be shown to be not a good witness. Perjury is very specific to knowingly lying while testifying under oath. We really don't…

    I loved Pebble. My wife and I had multiple watches and I was very active in the dev community. If Pebble were still around I’d still be a customer. Pebble’s problem wasn’t the Appl…

    It’s mostly for time purposes. Nobody wants to wait another hour for the round to end because someone is trying to draw their game, which means those players potentially have to pl…

    The Magic tournament rules cover this: “Some loops are sustained by choices rather than actions. In these cases, the rules above may be applied, with the player making a different …
