How does anyone that's cooked more than one meal in their life not already know this? Of course a sharp knife will reduce the onion spray that irritates your eyes.

Use General Sherman techniques with ad blockers. Report *every* *single* junk video as spam. Make their life as difficult as possible.

Minor detail: Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln only appeared in Disneyland after the 1964 World's Fair, iirc, but I agree with your point. Did Disney seek permission from Lincoln's ancestors beforehand? I'm guessing not. You'd be surprised how many youngsters today don't realize that there actually was a guy named Walt Disney. I think the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco was partially started to correct that.

I'm assuming it's controlled by wireless of some sort, maybe from a phone app. Does a zipper company think about security, or will there be outbreaks of people having their zippers unzipped, if you follow my drift?

Back when it was the convenient place for a hobbyist to go for common electronic components. Needed a 555 timer, or a LM7805 voltage regulator, or maybe some random 1/4 watt resistor? That's where you went. About that time they also branched out into electronic toys, they kind you might have seen in the early 80's. Eventually they were just cell phones and batteries (remember the Radio Shack Battery Club cards?) Many years before that Radio Shack was owned by Tandy Leather, who sold, well, leather stuff. Weird.

"Git still can't track branches. If you delete a branch, it's entirely gone from history"

If you decide that a branch is no longer worth pursuing, why would you need to delete it? Just leave it in the repository and move to a new branch just in case you ever want to go back to wonder "what the hell was I thinking when I created that old branch?"

"And there's no timestamp for when you created a branch."

I agree with this criticism. I haven't found a quick and easy way to locate the commit in the parent after which the branch split off on it's own. Using something like SourceTree, you just have to scroll down until you eventually find it.

As someone that started with Visual Source Safe (pray for my soul), then over the years moved to CVS, than Subversion, and then to Git, I think I'll stick with Git.

If the origin site (GitHub, BitBucket, whatever) went down in flames overnight, it would only be an annoyance to our programming team, not requiring hoping and praying that the backups still work.

I keep Git repositories on my home NAS server for things as mundane as packing lists for various types of family trips. It just works, IMHO

At first I thought, well duh, just use EXR since it can accommodate an arbitrary number of layers. Though they're usually used for matte layers, you could assign a layer per range of wavelength, that sort of thing.

What the article seems to be getting at however, I think, is instead of just doing compression in the X & Y direction, also do compression in, I guess, the Z direction? i.e. across the spectrum of interest?

So while you're off at work, or wherever, you plan on leaving uncooked food sitting in the oven at room temperature?

Enjoy those food born illnesses.

The plaintiff's lawyers work on contingency. If the court rules for the defendants, it's not like all the members of the class now have to pony up for legal fees. It's the same for many personal injury cases; the plaintiff's lawyer only gets paid if they win, so they're motivated to win quickly and not just pad hours forever that their client would then have to pay for.

And, as a previous poster already mentioned, the purpose isn't to get thousands of dollars for each member of the class, it's to punish the defending corporation so that they're less likely to pull similar shit in the future.

American pennies are made from almost entirely zinc, with a thin copper veneer. The zinc industry lobbies (bribes) heavily to ensure that pennies are not discontinued, the cost to manufacturer them be damned.

My first experience with a computer was also by way of an ASR33 teletype. My high school calculus teacher had one installed in her classroom, circa 1974, connected to a mainframe at some university or something. She was a very forward thinking teacher that influenced me greatly. I can still remember the small of the punched paper tape. I think we pretty much only ran BASIC on the thing. We had a few computer programming books from which we would laboriously transcribe code. The machine was available whenever the classroom wasn't in use, or after school hours. I spent many an afternoon in there with three or four other guys and we would wait our turn to be able to sit down at it.

I was diagnose with it when I was in my mid 50s. That being on the young side for prostate cancer, doctors advised me to choose ether surgery or radiation treatment rather than just continued monitoring. I chose surgery; one night's stay in the hospital, no lasting incontinence or problems getting it up, and now ten years later I just do an annual PSA test. In my experience it was never referred to as anything other than what it was; cancer.

Circa 1981, I interviewed for an engineering job in downtown Los Angeles. They hired me to start the next Monday or something. I got cold feet, and the job just didn't feet right, the commute would suck, etc. When the phone rang the next Monday and they asked me why I hadn't shown up I just disguised my voice, pretended I was my roommate, and told them something like "Dave's not here, man".

We don't always need to be grateful for a job offer.

Facebook founder and convicted pedophile Mark Zuckerberg, dead at age 36, says social media sites should not fact-check posts.

Oh, I'm sorry, was that not fact-checked enough?
