Right, what kinds of heavy metals are they introducing into something that should be edible?

Depending on your definition of simpler, everyone could just pair off and shake exactly one hand.

That's a good idea. Or you could have a grid of squares, with each person getting their own color when they click each one. Any of these ideas would work much better if you could prevent scripting of course.

Is it for versions of the database design or versions of the data?

Normally you would use a creaser, which is like a dull knife that is pressed down into the paper, perhaps over a slightly giving surface.

For work I use a Mac and I remote into Windows, and I have so much trouble making my brain swap the keys for copy/paste. Ctrl-C Command-V is so painful.

That's a pretty breathless article. It specifically mentions Google but never compares it to Google Earth. Only Microsoft can do it, except it's already been done.

I am not a touch typist, far from it, but I have been typing for so long that I too couldn't tell you how much I look at the keyboard. For awhile I almost convinced myself that I had somehow stopped looking down because I never seemed

Management could have been aware of more personal details that coworkers should not know. I don't think it is necessarily a black mark against the company without knowing the whole story.

A good way to define metropolitan areas is by commuter patterns. If a certain percentage of residents of a county or town all commute to the same adjoining larger town, then that gets counted.

The article is credited "by Georgia Institute of Technology", so it is a press release. This is just early research, but presumably the problems of toxicity are what inspired the study in the first place. But, they can't make

The traditional TLDs, especially .com, are immediately recognizable as www addresses. If you write some_name.com somewhere, just about anyone would know that they could type that into a browser. But some_name.club would not have that effect

In modern standards a straight wall is much easier to build because you can just measure once for each row and stretch a string to match the bricks against. A curved wall requires a level placed against every brick to make sure you are stil

Ironically, in the old days everyone used to complain that they couldn't pay for just the cable channels they watch, you had to accept the whole bundle. Now you pay for the channels separately. Yay?

So the trees had evolved, but the bacteria had not caught on yet. "It’s a curious mismatch. Food to eat but no eaters to eat it." In a few million years, they might be saying the same thing about plastic.

The design is bullshit. People would have their legs crushed as the car descends, and then they would fall into the hole and die.

The hegemony of car culture is so ingrained that people are not even aware of how much it personally costs them. These companies are taking advantage of this loophole. People notice gas prices go up and down with great interest, but that is

Here in Asheville, NC we had a fellow who built and attempted to ride a 44 ft. (13.4m) tall bike at a festival. He did not ride far enough to make it in the record books. But it was exciting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

One thing I have wondered about is keyboard shortcuts. Does Elementary follow the Mac conventions?

Regular people can afford a detached house in America, for some definitions of regular. I used to be part of the working poor, and having a car did not make me feel free, it was a constant stress. I went through a series of old clunkers, an

I think you are conflating New York with livable places. Which is understandable; New York is virtually the only walkable place in the US. But the same design principles work on any scale. Tiny villages of 20 people can be made walkable. I

The US is huge, and we could build anything we want. The problem is that we don't see what we have given up by not living closer together. The dream of car culture is that we as individuals can live in a huge area, with vast potential

"While Google and Amazon have been creating voice assistants that people seem to actually use and wax lyrical about, Apple … hasn’t. There’s no easy solution there." Until the Apple-Google merger. I for one welcome...
