Same here. I got busted in Hollywood when I was 14 years old, back in 1973. I was the only juvenile in a group of about 20 people at a birthday party in an apartment building. They had a helicopter circling the building and shining a spotli

When I was in my teens kids would have contests to see who could take the most and biggest "hits" from bongs 3ft long. I never did that. I've always taken tiny puffs because I don't like coughing, so I got called a &quot

I have 2nd this. I've been using weed for a very long time and have seen so many people try to take a lung full of smoke as opposed to a small sip. I don't do "vapes". That stuff is so highly concentrated that it makes m

I'll chime in because I've been using cannabis for over 50 years. First off, I've never suffered with anxiety. if anything, THC has been a great help in relieving that for me. I also say that over those years there have been

I sure feel this. I've worked at home for the past 30 years and I've asked and pleaded with my wife and children (all adults now) to let me work uninterrupted and they've ignored that the entire time. I've tried to expla

I'm still using a Late 2014 Mac mini running Monterey. I use BBEdit and web browsers more than anything so other than the startup time it's not really much slower to use than a current Mac mini. I still want one though.

That is so cool to hear! I had one of those `63 Darts with a straight 6 in it back in the 80s. It was a blue four door. I put snow tires in the back and drove that car all over the dirt roads in the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles.

CouchDB implements a DB per user approach. Personally, I've found it much easier to use than an SQL DB for web apps I've made, but I've heard others who've always used SQL say they were frustrated with it.

I just saw the AP video about this on youtube. They said it will go 900 mph without generating a loud sonic boom. That's amazing.

I think they have a fully featured demo you can download. BBEdit is a great tool set to have.

I'm going upgrade just to support them. They have always been great at taking care of me over the years and, who knows? I might end up using some those new features.

I quit my job not long after becoming a single parent when my daughter was 10 months old. That was back in the mid 1980s. The years I spent with my daughter were amazing. I learned how to be a "mom", and it was a very enlightening

As a solo developer I will say that testing is pita because, at least for me, it's difficult to expose the ways users will interact with the UI and I tend to use it the same way over and over. I've never worked with a team so I re

Yeah, but to be fair to all those guys they're trying to reach an audience that would almost never spend any time on the subjects they cover if they went too deep into it. In the description he says "we break down how to foster a

I doubt that's going to work very well. I would never buy a car without test driving it first. I have to admit that nowadays folks might do that, so I could be wrong. But my guess is that closing dealerships is going to fall flat. Thos

The corporate spin on this being a positive is hollow. Buick dealerships disappearing may be good for those remaining dealerships in the short run, but not for the Buick brand. They won't sell more cars with less dealerships. I took a
