I once scalded my mouth on hot cocoa that had been (over) heated in a microwave. Now, I carefully measure temperatures with a thermometer and have learned that 160F is a perfect pouring temperature, assuming it will be poured into a room te

That may have been true initially but meta has enough information to heuristically observe unidentified users and compare their behaviors with known consumers. It only takes a few actions to uniquely identify a consumer with a high degree

Great post, so neat to see it running in the browser! One question: why not thin the config a little? USB, SOUND, VGA, etc. are all slowing down the boot but don't have hardware to control.

The only problems Opus struggles with, Fable won't take on. I was porting some software from Win32 to linux. Opus was running in circles. Fable was going great until it saw some authentication code and bailed.

Best to learn these things the way babies do -- by listening to the speech of others and copying it, and letting a native correct you. Eventually the correct conjugations will feel natural.

I want both: give me different tabs for "Description" and "Specs". The weight of a dishwasher might not matter for a home owner but it could be relevant if I'm installing it on a boat.

Yeah, since the ACA my coverage has remained the same while my costs have risen 10x; I'm in my 30s and my medical insurance costs 3x what my mortgage costs, and I still have $$$$ sized bills after a round of strep throat. I would reall
