It took me a minute to understand the original post because the verb sanction means both itself and basically the opposite of itself. It would be better to say "any territory that the US has levied sanctions against". I thought Le

The highway between Tucson and Nogales, Arizona, I-19, is the only highway in the country that has signage only in kilometers. It has been that way since 1980. It was a pilot project for the Metric Conversion Act. The highway is 102 kilomet

I think there is a change of attitude with a shorter work week. If I am working 9-5 at the same place everyday, I basically live there. It is easier to decide to take more breaks because there is no Friday to relax or get chores done or go

I don't know about extreme heat. I have been to Colombia and there are very different climates. I am not sure exactly where they were, but it is probable that the temperature there was more warm with lots of rain.

My favorite piece of hers has always been the 13 minute version of Timesteps from the Clockwork Orange movie. Some of her works are on Spotify.

I am just happy there is a search engine that will tell me when I am wasting my time and theirs.

I got my first real developer job in my 50s. I don't recommend this for many people. But it works for me. I am doing well.

Wherever you store this program, I think you should store all the comments attached to this post as well. I bet it will be pretty interesting reading in 30 years.

It looks like a nice idea. Definitely add a feature to change the shortcut. I want it to behave more like a regular window. The full screen version can't be un-maximized. The Groups in the workspace can only be expanded horizontally. I
