I’d go a dark color and white trim. White trim and shutters, or bring in wood tones on shutters, front door, and garage door.

It would be a shame if you were to light it up with a green laser, just to get a better look at it of course, and that happened to damage its sensor. Nobody except for an electronics expert or physicist could foresee that could potentially definitely damage it irreparably.

Agree. Obliged.

Perfect. He’ll be so busy vetoing legislation he’ll have no time for golf, rallies, or posting memes.

Think about it this way, if it were a regular gas station and cars could come from all directions, what do you do? Wait? Of course not. In Costco’s setup getting around 1 car to get to an open pump couldn’t be simpler and there’s way less going on to keep track of.

These are great and the various ones I have also have USB outlets and have way more capacity than phone chargers, so are great for camping to keep your phone and other devices charged up.

Or they did and can exploit it, but kept it under wraps so they can keep hacking your aunt’s Wordpress site.

It’s been a while but IIRC I got the best results with something like this: Open the bitmap in GIMP and reduce colors. Then basically separate the image by color. I think I used a selection tool for that. Then I used Inkscape to vectorize each color separately. Then, hopefully none to minimal cleanup. Then put it all back together if you want but I was printing white (backing) and CMYK on clear vinyl so the separate layers were just fine.

Mocks are very good at catching this, but for the wrong reasons. You can write a bunch of unit tests, get 100% code coverage, and a test suite unnecessarily sensitive to any change in flow, and yet provides no value.

This is going to sound crazy, maybe even like impossible alien tech. But your phone can read texts to you and you can respond by talking. You can also do this in your car, your car and your phone can form a kind of electronic hive-mind that you can interact with. Also, and this might come as an even bigger shock to you. If you haven’t yet read a text message, your phone KNOWS. Some kind of ESP. So you can look at your phone minutes, hours, or even days later, see who texted you and text them back. You can even turn your phone off completely, and when you turn it back on, all the texts are still there.

Reminds me of the 3 objects I saw in the sky in the middle of the day. This was before drones were so prevalent, but what I saw was pretty high up, and after I spotted them they made a beeline to a location in between me and the sun, and I lost them. Could have been drones.

Completely embed them in acrylic. A big enough piece so that it’s really awkward to hold. It also has the benefit of preserving them for posterity.

There are reusable pods that require this step and ones that don’t. We got some Keurig brand reusable pods that were this way and we returned them. We have 3 different no-name brands of reusable pods that all work just fine.

I wear these all the time so I can see in 3D

The part I don’t get is why OP claims to not have the number bc they threw away the note, but took a picture of said note to post here. Sure, edited the pic but most likely can undo that or otherwise get the original. The skeptic in me thinks the whole thing is fake, and I will continue to think that unless somebody calls the number, or a suitable explanation is provided as to why the number is unknowable.

I lent a corded hammer drill to a colleague once. He was just drilling through drywall and I don’t believe he hit any studs. He said it worked but took a long time. He had it on reverse. I’m not sure exactly what you’re doing wrong grinding your coffee beans. Maybe your grinder wants you to turn the handle clockwise and you’re going counter clockwise. Don’t take this as me judging your competence, but you’re doing something very wrong. Take a step backwards, read the directions.

Just did my 2011 pilot today for $1200

JSON numbers are all double precision floating point, except that for no particular reason NaN and the INF values have no representation. You can output these in language bindings whose default settings will let you output them and then fail to parse them back in. It sounds like yours may be valid decimal expansions of doubles that the JSON serde in the database don’t round trip properly. But note that you could produce a number as text starting from something that isn’t a double that could have the same problem. I don’t think that for example, putting more digits than a double can represent, or a whole number that’s larger than doubles can represent without error is invalid JSON, not completely sure, but those cases wouldn’t roundtrip either.

Coming out of Bow Mar, after exiting the gate, a driver should be greeted by no right turn and no left turn signs, straight blocked by a median, and enforcement by the traffic cameras we all hate. $50 every time you want to leave.

CU got a 15 yard penalty for a hit out of bounds where both players were still in bounds and the contact was mostly initiated by the offensive player.

C) they give you your $80 + what they sold the tires for + $180 since they’ve established that is the going rate for being inconvenienced.

The 1st class lavatory must be some kind of special place. For a United flight, during covid, we waited over 4 hours to fix or switch planes because the sink didn’t work. I think the flight was a little more than an hour.
