I am excited for the features announced. My current phone is the iPhone XS, which in September will be 6 years since its release. Mind you, I try not to get excited for other releases when I made the decision to not yet upgrade my phone.

I second the recommendation. We got rid of a Samsung washer for a Speed Queen. It does a better job cleaning the clothes for less of the time.

As an middle-aged man that loves to go to concerts, ear plugs are great and do not affect negatively the concert-going experience. Speakers are loud enough that you can feel the music and personally I get energized when people around me are

I would like to say first is that: we are all humans. When you are passionate in the work you do, invest time and effort to completing work for someone to find flaws, it's hard to not be offended and take things personally. But as huma

Unfortunately, it's what makes Pop Music, POPular. As long as it sells, it won't change. I remember Lady Gaga getting a lot of criticism early on in her career, then later, she showed how talented she is musically. On a sidenote,

If filming is done in public for the intent to be published, should there be a release form signed by any people that were filmed? Anecdotally, many years ago I was at an outdoor park and they were filming a fitness reality show. The fitnes

I agree 100% with your statement. I see a job interviews as dating. It has to work both ways, you will be spending most of your day with them, you need to determine what you expect from them and what negative behaviors you are willing to co

I have ruminated about the same questions that OP has the past few weeks as I reflect on this year. What I realized and simplified, as a software developer is that I get paid to deliver a positive result when it's expected. Like I ment

> Lazy developers don't really bother me, if you do a couple hours of high-quality work a week I'd have no complaint. This has been my philosophy, as long as a developer is not making me do more work, I won't mind.

This raises the question: "has there been state-sponsored efforts to overwhelm open source maintainers with the intent of sneaking in vulnerabilities to software applications?"

That is true, I haven't had the same success with the ratio when using different types of rice and pots. I achieve the desired texture that the people I cook for prefer :) Yes, I add the oil, salt and pepper before cooking.

These are good tips, thank you! For rice, the rice:water ratio I follow is 1:1.25. I add a teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. For eggs, I'm going to try running the egg under warm water. One thing I've observed impro
