I have two. One with Cherry Blues and SA sculpted keycaps; the other with DSA and Matias quiet switches. I really like the split hand linear layout.
Two things that I've grown dependent on are the levels to make one side my ten key keypad and programming macros. Cutting out so many of the repetitive things like typing a login, email, name, address, commands, etc. save me hours over the course of a month. Whatever you get, get something that you can program for the common things you type.
I remember reading about the idea for a long clock over a decade ago. I'm glad to see someone finally building it. I love the idea of a timepiece that will outlast our civilization.
I'd argue that Hollywood only makes the impact that it does because the studios have the money to throw at global releases. They've had the luxury of a non stop production machine for over a century. That's definitely not the case for the rest of the world.
I believe that the hegemony is crumbling and that the belief that the US will remain a cultural icon is naive at best. The leadership alone is proof of the foolishness of navel gazing in a global community.
Oh how I wish I had mod points today. This is so true.
I was reading on another site someone that was arguing that corporations are ultimately still the people behind them. This example here is the clearest example against that notion that I've read in ages. Thank you for a nice insightful comment.
Spend more time on Netflix. There's lots of great movies from outside the US. You sometimes have to accept that there's subtitles because not everything is dubbed over (thank the stars above).
I guess I'm terrible then. I've seen quite a few and really enjoyed them.
I don't consider myself even close to a multiculturalist, I just don't have the hangups about watching something that's subtitled.
Actually that's not how the FCC tends to license bandwidth. Quite the contrary, you have to have all sorts of approvals from said FCC before you operate a radio device in licensed spectrum. There's a reason Apple and others pay gobs of cash to make sure that they are producing compliant devices.
Here's my question, why aren't the cell companies screaming mad about unlicensed use of their cellular bandwidth by Stingray devices. Let's not forget, these are massive corporations that spend billions of dollars for a slice of the radio spectrum and here they have this regular intruder on their space. I would think it would be a matter for the FCC to get involved, but nobody says anything other than, yeah, they intercept cell signals and retransmit the data. I can guarantee if I were to do this, I'd have tens of thousands of dollars worth of fines on my butt in a heartbeat.
What kinds of deals with the devil have been made or is everyone operating blissfully unaware of what's going one. Any cell tower technicians able to comment? Anyone in the cell industry able to clarify how someone can run an unlicensed third party device over their bands? If they don't care, then maybe people need to start using their spectrum for other purposes as well. 2.4GHz is too crowded as it is.
You're forgetting a key element in the analogy, the Amazon customers that live on the dirt road have been paying the owner for paving services that weren't ever going to be implemented unless Amazon foot the bill. In fact, on numerous occasions, the owner was caught out in the street with a stop sign, slowing the delivery services because Amazon wouldn't pay up.
The real problem was the fact that the people living on the road don't have a choice because the road is the only way to or from their properties.
How is the FCC enemy #1 of technological freedom in the past decade? I've seen quite the opposite, I've seen an undervalued government entity slowly stripped of it's operating and enforcement budgets trying to do their best to encourage innovation and foster competition. As I've followed them, I've noticed of all the federal agencies, they tend to be very public and very transparent.
I'll bite. I've been there. By your definition I'm one of the apparent "inattentive parents" and I think you "don't know what the fuck [you]'re talking about".
I'm there for my kids all the time. We do stuff together. We talk. We figure out right from wrong and it doesn't stop this from happening. Why, because a 12 yo lacks the maturity of a full grown adult.
Case in point, my A/B student (so not some dummy or delinquent). Placed on suspension and probation for terroristic threats.
Ignored by a kid that used to be a friend, said inflammatory things about having people ready to jump him. The twist, the kid didn't care. The kid didn't report it, it was another school official who overheard everything.
In this case, language designed to elicit a response was purposely chosen. Does a kid have the maturity level to realize the consequences of doing so? Um, no, not at 12 and not having had this experience.
Have you ever used language to piss someone off on purpose? How would you keep the emotions of an 12 year old in check while they're at school? How was the school district zero tolerance policy beneficial in preventing this from happening? What would you have done as a parent to make sure your kid never said something stupid? Do you even have a kid? If you don't have the answers then STFU!
Kenton County Kentucky. And yes, I think it's silly in the extreme. I walked or cycled nearly a mile to school every day. It was only uphill one way in the wintertime, but you can still get off my lawn!
Yes, because the schools in my county switched to busing all the students. They're not even allowed near the street until high school!
Really sucks for my kids because, despite living less than half a mile from school, they can't participate in after hour activities unless someone can pick them up. Hard to do when work is 30 minutes or more away.
Ah, an AC who has never been harassed by a cop. Sorry pal, once it happens, you'll never feel the same level of trust that you do now. Ignorance == Bliss
Actually, yes, 10 years ago the tablet computer did exist. It wasn't a capacitive touch screen available to everyone+dog, but I know I coveted the touch devices that were hitting the computing market more than 10 years ago. There was one in particular that was very promising and ran linux but never got past prototype stages.
Even smartphones were around back in the day. The term smartphone is 14 years old and I remember co-workers with handsprings that could make and receive phone calls over 10 years ago.
I'm not arguing that technology is screaming forward at an unprecedented pace, but it's not nearly as fast as everyone wants us to think. Apple, Samsung and Nokia didn't just spring out of the woodwork 5 years ago with fantastic new phones. They built on the work done by others, many of whom couldn't innovate fast enough to even exist today.
Flying cars on the other hand just seem to have stagnated for the past 40+ years.
Really? Didn't seem like it when I was getting back off my honeymoon. I wasn't searched, but the the cop at the airport really wanted "snoopy" to investigate me further.
I will say that I am sure that I stood out from the crowd. Hair bleached from 2 years of Mexico sun, face and arms equally tanned. I was also dressed head to toe in traditional white cotton Jarocho clothing. I probably was extra haggard from a severe second degree sunburn all across my back and shoulders.
If the handler was trained to avoid a false positive, why was he so sure that the dog needed to have a go at me? He was dragging the dog by the leash to have a go at my suitcase and carry on. The pooch was clearly disinterested and I am 100% certain I wasn't carrying anything that would have triggered a reaction.
The puzzle is based around the possible sets of siblings. You have to understand that.
I like to look at it as coins. Take a 10 cent coin and a 5 cent coin with distinct heads or tails. There are the following possible combinations:
10 | 5
H | H
H | T
T | H
T | T
They are very distinct in the sense that if we toss the coins, we have a 25% chance of any combination appearing. If we're told that in a given toss, there was one that was heads and are now asked what is the probability of the other being heads, it is one in 3 since we've eliminated the third option.
The point is, the boy/girl combinations really are distinct and unique outcomes that do factor into the overall probability.
Not really sure that there's much I can say. I stand corrected on the usage and goal. In some cases, antidepressants sound like they need to become a permanent fixture in the lives of some.
It sounds like you're still struggling and I hope you succeed. It sounds like you've got an incredible support network in your wife, boss and friends. I've found that to be invaluable, especially when I can trust them with what I've felt and thought.
The scary part was that I had no idea that my blood pressure was related to the depression!
I was afraid a stroke or heart attack was how my life was going to end (early). I was amazed at how quickly it corrected itself when my emotional state stabilized.

The article is pretty specific that it's a poison gland in the skin near the spines. a lot like the stone fish.
Actually a more appropriate comparison would be the stone fish. It also uses spines as the venom transport mechanism.

Sounds better than the flying car of the future. Will Ultra HD look better than the real world around me? Sign me up!
