My musical tastes have changed a lot, I've found new bands and artists pretty much every year of my life. I listen to music from my teenage years now & then, but more often than not I'm listening to completely new music.

So Amazon-owned Twitch makes huge job cuts, they cut jobs in Prime video, introduce ads for prime video users, all within the last few weeks? Is something wrong with Amazon's financials that they're taking more drastic measures?

This is definitely the easier way to understand it. Imagine a point in the centre of the circle that is traveling. Draw the line that point takes, and then calculate using the new circle.

They're pretty essential for any situation where you can't just stop down the exposure in the camera. If you want a long exposure shot of some crashing waves on a bright day for instance, you might not be able to just increase the

>How do you write the time? Do you put seconds or minutes before hours? Why not? No, because the seconds are rarely important. >How do you write the year? Do you put decade before century? No, because that's not how numbers work.

Yeah, and that's great for storing things in databases. Not for everyday communication. We talk in terms of most relevant to least relevant - the day (or time) is typically most relevant, with the year being least.

In everyday use, the year is the least important part. It makes perfect sense in many cases. It's in order of most relevant information to least. YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS has its place as well, but not here.

3 million people used them between last year and this year. About 4.5% of the population. That's a lot of people.

The problem is the commute, not the office. Mostly.

Yep. I have been told numerous times to start a bakery, or a photography business, or to open a restaurant, or start a music tuition business. But none of the hobbies that sparked those comments would stay enjoyable if I did that. So I&#x27

Turning something you do for fun into something you do to survive has always been a great way to sap the enjoyment out of it. I've been told numerous times over the years to turn my photography into a business. Or my baking. Or my cook

Has there ever been an example of an industry standard tool losing out to FOSS alternatives? Ever? There are reasons for that.

If I could walk 30 minutes to work I'd be overjoyed. I'd consider it if my walk took an hour, which is how long my commute often is.

The garden I crafted myself at home is better than any arboretum. For me. It's also nice and private.

Is that so bad? The other way of looking at it is that employers would be more likely to allow WFH, since they don't have to pay for your commute costs anymore

I don't want to go to an office, but I still am very social & go out all the time. This is the case for most people I know. In fact, if I didn't have to commute for 2 hours a day I'd have more time for social activities.

Recheck the link you provided, look for refined olive oil. It's just the virgin olive oils that have the lower smoke points. Also seriouseats puts it at 465°F https://www.seriouseats.com/cooking-fats-101-whats-a-smoke-p

Light/refined olive oil has a smoke point of up to 470°F. You can sear meat anywhere between 400°F and 500°F. There is absolutely no reason you can't sear meat with olive oil. You just have to use the light/refined stuff, and
