Do you not have 120v or is your 120v not stable enough?

Because from the site it looks like it works with both 120v and 240v:

> Designed to fit inside most standard countertops and work seamlessly with 120V or 240V connections.

I've heard of these, but don't own one. Is the dolphin the equivalent of the Duolingo bird, or were you making a joke? (Sorry to ruin the joke if you were making one, I was just curious!)

>Perhaps these are becoming a relic of a lost era? Paper is too much of an "air-gap" when everything is done on computer. Moreover, the standard 2-week Agile "sprint" leaves no time for careful thinking and writing. One can't put epiphanies gained from writing up notes into "the deliverable" for a freaking Jira Ticket

So, I get what you're getting at here (I think), especially as someone who came from research labs and then moved into computer science, but teams should be building doco into the tickets and pushing back on anything that doesn't have some meaningful documentation built in.

Easier said than done in some organizations, I know, but I still think we need to be the ones to push back.

Woah, did you have to hand cut all of those decks or how did you do that?

I mean they're at a 14 year low, per your source.

Yeah, that is a really weird comment to make with that source.

Unless they're weirdly trying to show that the influx is creating jobs for their youth? But the comment's tone does not line up with that...

Sorry, what does PNGs mean?

This isn't specifically commenting about your, but I love how wildly different these comments are. The one currently below you said they improved when they switched to a plant-based diet.

Everyone is different, but I just thought it was funny to see how different everyone is.

Huh, it is interesting to see how small some of the bases are. Peru has 2 bases with a total 46 troops.

And to find that 40% of all bases are the 'small' style is also interesting.

I'm not sure what are you trying to really ask...

What companies would benefit from this? All of the larger pharma ones, basically. A large portion of the larger pharma companies have made large investments into the CAR-T space. A company that was spun out of Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center (I used to work there, not in CAR-T though), Juno Therapeutics, was purchased by Bristol Meyer Squibb. Another company in this space, Kite Pharma, was purchased by Gilead Sciences in response to this. And those are just the two off the top of my head that have made large investments.

Asking this as someone who might be a simpleton and always assumed it was a low carbon way of energy production:

How is it not 'low carbon'?

How does the paper you posted, about post exercise oxygen consumption, relate to weight loss as we have been discussing here? I don't mean this to be flippant, I just don't have time to do a deep dive on this paper and you didn't provide any context.

I'm going to guess you don't live in a place where gloves are necessary for a good portion of the year. I would see this option as more of a pain than a solution. Glad it works well for your use case through.

I promise I'm not trying to be daft, I honestly don't know what you're saying. Is there anyway you could be more concrete, or give me something to search more on? I searched for rhymes with "Thai Escrow" and I get nothing.

To be fair, you can do a lot when you throw a near endless supply of money at things. Definitely impressive though.

The old adage of "There is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix" comes to mind.

Here's a link that starts down there:

I honestly thought you were making this up, but you are not...

Huh, I didn't think that was the case, but looking around it sounds like it is:

"Most life insurance policies include a suicide clause that prevents the insurer from paying out the claim if the insured's death was due to self-inflicted injury within a certain period from the start of the policy (typically two years)."

It's backpacks all the way down

Sorry, are you suggesting that the undersea landslide was intentional?

I'm not super familiar with them, but taking a quick look it looks like the have a lot of papers published by the Allen Institute in Seattle[0] (which I am much more familiar with). So I would say they at least carry very reputable papers.

Here[1] is a summary of Semantic Scholar Database in the National Library of Medicine (note also from an Allen Institute spinoff, but it just made it easy to search for something I know as reputable).

>I've heard Amazon.com doesn't even use AWS — was this ever acurate?

What? AWS spun out of Amazon.com having extra servers/infa after the holiday season rush and pushed for an internal way to monetize their extra compute/storage power.

You sure you don't want to get lost into MS Teams? Where you lose chats all the time and can hardly paste codes and links without it all going wonky?

Joking aside, I am will you on the 100% remote + slack fondness. I'll also regularly mute all if I'm trying to do a deep work session for a couple of hours.

>When they say you should return it, ask them for a prepaid label to do the return, which is your right

Which countries does this apply to? (Story is about Canada, but wonder if this is true in the US as well)

That was my first read as well.

You'd still have to rely on the trust of the original maintainer, but they could set up something like a warrant canary[0], but for if they sold it or if they added tracking items.

Huh, I had never heard the term 'fridge logic'.

Huh, I had no idea they were originally a hunting dog.

From this very bias source, but has a decent amount of information: https://www.dachshundstation.com/hunting-dachshunds/

Yeah, this is what I was remembering. It was really more of talk about "keeping up with the jones", but the sheep was the core object of this conversation.
