It depends what time you try to exodus. If you wait until the end, it's 50k+ people trying to leave a campground at the same time.

You can, but a big part of the marvel is in walking around (er, biking) and seeing the spectacle. If it's your first year, that's your job: be the audience.

Uhm, your link states that they were price fixing over 20 years ago, and were in court for almost a decade. There was another accusation in 2018, but it was dismissed. That's not a long history of pricing fixing, just accusations.

Very curious how you avoid supporting multiple browsers. Apple, Google, and Microsoft each require users on their platforms to use their native browsers for secure connections. And if your company has any web presence or apps, you usually c

Your source shows 1.36 billion people using the internet in 2007. In English, when we say "in the billions" it means more than a billion.

I've heard it as "once you think you're 90% done, you're really halfway done." Tangential: it's always made me wonder about teams that believe "80% effort" is optimal.

I learned about the Pacific Handy Cutter from my local grocer. It's cheap and excellent. It has a dull edge for 95% of tape cutting needs, and a safety guide for when you need to use the blade. Admittedly, it's not useful for slic
