I've seen a few of these in Maine in driveways and yards/fields, but only recently have I seen a couple on the road. I was surprised to see them. I believe JDM vans cannot be registered here but perhaps that's changed recently.

If made illegal to drive on the roads it's not clear why these would be preferable to side-by-sides, other than novelty or for folks that really like to wrench.

I decided to do some queries with DDG while it's down, so I googled "duckduckgo".

SMDH.

In containerized environments it may happen more often due to OOM kills or if you leverage autoscalers and have long running sidekiq jobs that have a runtime that exceeds your configured grace period for shutting down a container during a downscale and the process is eventually terminated without prejudice.

OOM kills are particularly pernicious as they can get into a vicious cycle of retry-killed-retry loops. The individual job causing the OOM isn't that important (we will identify it, log it and noop it), it's the blast radius effect on other sidekiq threads (we use up to 20 threads on some of our workers), so you want to be able to recover and re-run any jobs that are innocent victims of a misbehaving job.

Don't forget the chumboxes.

Agreed, I'm probably past the point where I could make a jump into the career area I wish I had gone into with hindsight (forest ranger, fisheries & wildlife, land management for land trusts, etc), but if I was <= 35 I would consider it. However at the age of 41 I've crossed into the 250k+ total comp territory and it's hard to imagine taking that significant pay decrease and making a move where I'm at the bottom of the ladder.

I used Mozilla for many years and loved it, despite it being a real hog in the early oughts. It's funny to think back about all the handwringing about XUL performance and whatnot that happened in places like Slashdot.

For many years every time I got a new machine I would make the effort to switch my link hover cursor to the old Netscape/Mozilla one [1][2] just because I liked it. There is a 22 year old Bugzilla issue for this that I had bookmarked [3]. I don't know how to do this now and it would probably look weird on my HDPI display, but it was something I liked to do when I was younger and more motivated to mess with my setup. These days I just accept whatever is given to my by Apple or Ubuntu.

Plano was (and still is AFAIK) a wealthy suburb of Dallas at the time it became famous for heroin. That was part of the national narrative about it, in fact.

The St. Lawrence river is massive. The total watershed is larger than the Hudson , Connecticut, Merrimack and four largest rivers of Maine combined.

Unrelated, but the Robert-Bourossa dam spillway can discharge water at a rate similar to the capacity of the St. Lawrence as it flows near Quebec City.

Same. It started to feel joyless around that time and the Trump era really did a number on their national product.

Sorry, misread the TLD.

When I bought my truck (used, from a non-Ford dealer) I immediately signed up for a ford.com account and registered my truck with them. I've received all recalls and "customer satisfaction program" notifications from them since. I also had the truck routinely serviced at a few different dealerships until I found one that seemed no-frills and have used them ever since. Whenever I take the truck in for an oil change they will check for a pending TSB and ask if I want it done.

Easier to eat less by nature since my stomach is smaller, but overall I would say there is no expectation that the fast would magically regulate my an unhealthy relationship with food/consumption. My poor habits have to be addressed separately (particularly my beer consumption rose quite a bit in the last few years).

The fast served as a kickstart toward weight loss and in a way a test of my resolve.

I'm continuing to fast fwiw, doing what is known as "rolling 48s" which is just a large meal every other day. I went for a couple mile jog last night after starting to eat again and felt pretty good so I'm going to keep doing that while fasting for short periods and see where this takes me.

I craved salt bombs and the vinegar was a nice touch too. They are pretty negligible calorie sources and livened up the doldrums a bit.

This document from some Canadian health agency on how to handle patients participating in hunger strikes provides a good overview of the various conditions and risk factors for refeeding syndrome and much more. If you are into fasting it's an interesting, if poorly organized, document:

I would categorize the mental focus struggle into two parts, the first being the first four days of the fast, where I was in an almost anxious, reflexive state of wanting to end the fast. After the fourth day this quickly gave way to a low level hum of fasting related thoughts. Kind of like the difference between acute, sharp pain and a dull aching pain.

I just ended a 16 day fast today. Any caloric intake was limited to miso soup broth (< 35 cals) and a pickle every few days. Lots of coffee, black tea, some diet sports drinks and water (with electrolytes added). Was surprisingly easy, physically, but I also have a relatively high BMI. I ended because 1) it gets very boring, 2) I was constantly consumed with the idea that I was in a fast -- it could basically crowd out any other thoughts and my work suffered a bit.

Everyone's body is different, but you would need to be underweight or be severely malnourished to suffer from clinically defined refeeding syndrome after a three day fast. If you are normal to overweight and consuming electrolytes during the fast you are probably going to be fine.

They also will receive prorated team performance bonuses and outplacement services. Global employees will receive base salary, incentives, COBRA and outplacement services

What does base salary mean in this context?

This is an unhinged reply. Also people say "the Ukraine", so? And what would I be shilling? I'd suggest common sense, but the terminally online seem hungry for war and global conflict these days so they all seem to be checking that at the door.

The facts are that the two countries that stand to gain the most from blowing up the pipeline are the Ukraine and the United States. Russia has very little to gain.

Wet streets cause rain.

1blocker works fine for me.

Minitest has a number of cheeky little judgments like this [1][2], especially in the docs. That said they support all these things they don't prefer, within reason, and I appreciate that.

Minitest is also full of all sorts of weird peccadillos like being written in the "Seattle.rb style" and autloading files in all gems that match a certain path [3]. These are not how I'd structure a plugin framework or write code, but it works and the code is easy to understand and hack on. I've spent a lot of time reading the internals of minitest, monkey patching or generally torturing it in ways they probably wouldn't prefer and it's been a trustworthy, if a little bit judge-y, tool for years.

Give me a break.

Anyway, it still doesn't make sense why Russia would blow up 3/4th its capacity to bluff the Germans into using 1/4th the capacity. This a mind boggling silly path in the "search for the actual truth".

Literally the same logic can apply to the theory the US did it.

> (one of those pipes was suspiciously left undamaged).

You do not offer any reason for Russia to blow up three of four pipelines just to leave around one.

Good points, perhaps he was connected with American intelligence at such an early because his father's positions in defense and foreign affairs. Seems even more plausible.

Beyond Hersh's unnamed source, not that I know of. Again I don't believe it disbelieve it. But I don't dismiss it out of hand because it's not enumerated in an NYT article or a wikipedia page.

I didn't say the CIA recruited him to infiltrate anything. No one is saying he's a secret agent. I'm just saying it's possible that there is a history of cooperation of some form or another since he was a young activist and through an extraordinary career, which has led him to be "trusted completely since."

I don't believe it because I don't know, but I don't think it's insane to consider or that the existence of a relationship is impossible on face value because he was merely a young activist in the 70s.
