That means something, that is important.

Shocking..

Pretty sure the big A had a problem with older versions of the OS. I'll climb way out on a limb and guess that the API for the apps didn't support embedding control codes in the st…

Apparently leading up to Amazon prime video inflicting ads where no ads had gone before, they put out a requirement to streaming device manufacturers that said devices needed to su…

When roku decided that Amazon was the rightful owner of my fastforward button about a year and a half ago, that nearly got it tossed, but since Netflix was still behaving, I still …

Right? My inner 17 year old wonders where that magic was, back in the day.

After the first cord or two, the ground around the block should be covered in chips and splinters. That might be easy to add to the sim. Otoh, it's a fun little sim as is.

Not to mention a cooler stack temperature and the increased creosote condensation that brings. Or that it's just pain heavier to lug into the house.

Could add beech, yellow birch, black locust to that god-forbid list

Well, what about when you get into a piece of apple wood, and as soon as you hit it, carpenter ants boil out of it, all over your chopping block, up the handle of your axe, and you…

Was thinking "Hesitance C" could work

IMO it renders them kind of pointless, as you can then just leave out the field names (keywords, in pythonese) and get the same effect. It's very disappointing that they're naught …

Well, hmm. well.. how many jira tickets were needed?

Greek 'anameixi' loosely means a mixture or a blending. The special states could be called 'anameixic', the property could be called 'anameixicity'. Why am I trying to find a name …

Calling something 'magic' is like an admission that you have no clue about what is going on. Seems to me, they do have some clue, namely that instead of codes with perfect isolatio…

Not exactly airborne rabies, but perhaps a distinction without a difference.

If they had just raised the rate and left the service as it was, I'd only have been slightly annoyed at them. But to alter what I had, and then ask that same amount to put things b…

Maybe it's the very molecules that the live cells were using, just doing their thing without the cells. Cells concentrate things by confining them in a small volume, but otoh, if y…

This is great, if you have significant amounts of free oxygen to work with, which early earth evidently did not. Would be interesting to see if anaerobic metabolism could also occu…

A G15 would probably have blown the doors off the Burroughs 205, but the 205 had way more blinkenlights.
