My favorite translation is by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky - I prefer it to Katz anyway. I haven't examined the Ready edition. (I ended up aquiring all of Dostoevsky in Pevear/Volokhonsky translations, I like them so much -- I understand other dislike their editions for a number of reasons, tho)

I also really liked David McDuff's translation years ago.

Any of these are going to be miles better then Garnett, though.

Because all facebook-owned properties are down.

Of course, as a percentage of population, there are three times as many people in the US now compared to then, so the 1918-19 flu hit 3 times harder (with the current numbers).

To echo a little, as a dev who gets paid to write software, I’m happy to pay other devs for quality software.

Quality DSP from Xfer Records (Serum), Fabfilter (Many amazing data viz plugs and good sounding compressor, limiter, gate, multi band eq, saturator, etc), izoTope (trash2 distortion) etc etc etc have been worth every cent for their clarity and performance.

Carefully shop around for some of these and you will realize that money does actually buy real quality sometimes. But only sometimes. Most quality products has free limited demos that can be very informative.

Sometimes free/libre stuff is also amazing, like Dexed. And perhaps also Bespoke - I’ll definitely be trying it out, and sending $$$ if I think I’ll use it.

Of that list, Dexed is the only one appearing in my tracks regularly. This is because I’m more likely to use Serum, Massive, or Pigments for the other duties. But Dexed, especially after downloading many preset libraries, is freaking amazing in its DX7 early FM synthesis emulation.

ANSI SQL is a supported option in Oracle since 9i.

Not that most Oracle DB ppl use it anyway.

J.D.Edwards old World product was AS400, but EnterpriseOne (formerly OneWorld) is also Linux, Windows, AIX, Solaris, HPUX, and IBMi and is still very much alive. Runs on Oracle DB, MS SQL Server, and DB2.

I’m approaching 1500 uses per bag by my estimates. Hope to get another 20 years out of them. At least they are fully biodegradable, and don’t produce microbead plastics throughout the environment.

True. I wash them once or twice a year with a load already being run for jeans.

I bought five cloth bags (strong canvas) at my food co-op in 1992. Still using them now, 28 years and many washes and many many shopping trips later.

I agree that some of the lighter weight ‘cloth-like’ bags made today would not be able to stand that duty cycle.

I ended up buying the whole album too. Very chill!

That is the instrumental. The full track is here: https://entrobeats.bandcamp.com/track/gang-gang-gang-gang

I can just picture a frustrated parent… “I got these because my kids never would get off their phones. After I got these, they did when I turned ‘em on!”

Ok, Far fetched but the thought amuses me.

I got a Flexispot EC 3 standing desk with 55”w x 28”d curved front top (curved front tops are no longer offered) and added one of their monitor arms. Paid about $525 for the desk and $80 for the arm. I’ve used it for about 15 months and it is fabulous. If I did it again I get the newer EC-4 base (wasn’t available at the height of covid) and motor to be able to lower the desk another couple inches when sitting.

They have other less expensive options too.

Pretty much the benzene problem list is mostly the aerosols.

Love Tapatio. Sambel Oelek has no garlic, Tuong ot Toi does. I love them both.

Been using Heinz organic ketchup w real sugar (no hfcs) for quite awhile. Tastes great - same grams of sugar per serving as Annies.

Another plus about row/bike ergs is that they work even if the power is out.

This sort of thing is why I went with a Concept 2 row erg and bike erg. There is no software connection to anything but the monitoring of the user - if desired. But with their bluetooth and many apps available you can still gamify it if you like.

Won’t the Steam client also ask you for a phone number as soon as you want to buy anything? How do you decide where to draw the line?

But it ran much faster until the reboot... LOL

Seems Coca Cola Co should have placed a Smartwater instead to stay in brand and maybe even have him want to drink it.

In Denver, 'fancy coffee' (i.e. Fair trade / Fair wage / environmentally sustainable, 100% Arabica) from the many local roasters starts at around $15.50 a pound and goes up to about $24 a pound.

I have keratoconus and limitations on how well my vision can be corrected. The new icons all look blurry to me while the old ones are clear.

Neat to read how using a Rowling-derived chrestomathy facilitated language learning.

Took even longer in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Orthodox countries.

The last country of Eastern Orthodox Europe to adopt the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes was Greece, only ~100 years ago, at the time under military administration following the 11 September 1922 Revolution, with Wednesday 15 February 1923 being followed by Thursday 1 March 1923.

This is an excerpt from Seabrook's book, which is pretty good, I've read it.

“several orders of magnitude less” for values of “several” equalling 2.... no need for the extra hyperbole.

I drive a Mini Cooper - it It definitely worrisome when the bottom of the current round of pickup driver’s windows and bed heights are taller than the roof of my car. I basically always assume drivers of these truck don’t see me.

My band Society Burning, to celebrate our 30th anniversary, just released our first full-length album in a decade. We even had some CDs made - probably will never make back what we put into it, but it has been a good long time in the making. Covid helped us finish it in a way - music helps us keep sane. (Instead of another EP) (Industrial Rock/electronic)

I play guitar on one track, bass on two, and some synths and drum programming on most of them. I also mixed the album.
