Seed sharing is fundamental to human civilization. It is a human right. Companies like Monsanto that belligerently interfere with this by claiming “ownership” of seeds are nothing less than evil.
"Unable to read or write, he taught himself to form these sculptures using wooden structures at their core wrapped in mink or barbed wire, covered in layers of cement..."
I want to understand how in the world did this man come to the decision process of using either mink or barbed wire? Seems like concrete must adhere to them both quite well?
This idea really disgusts me. If an animal is “accidentally” killed then the first action should be to punish the people who did this and then take steps to ensure it does not happen again. Just allowing capitalism to continue to wreak havoc on our planet is so obviously not moral thing to do.
From roughly 2006-2012 this site greatly influenced my taste. I visited the site multiple times a day and read pretty much everything they published. I used to always check the site at 11pm when they reliably published a new set of 5 album reviews.
At some point banner ads for big liquor companies started to show up. Then coverage for mainstream music became more frequent. This was a clear signal that they had sold out and their reputation was shot.
I view them now as the new incarnation of Rolling Stone magazine. Still feel for the writers who got fired in this latest reorg.
Orca whales off the coast of Washington (j,k,l pods) are endangered IN NO SMALL PART due to the existence of the Snake River Dam. If the salmon cannot survive then neither can the whales.
While it is frustrating to see entire houses used exclusively for short term rentals, I think them being converted to actual single family homes would only be a drop in the bucket in helping to balance the housing market.
Demand would still be absolutely insane if AirBnB did not exist.
The working environment which is conducive to a successful developer vs a successful admin are, most likely (in my experience), two completely different environments.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, can someone please explain why I cannot use `networkQuality` when zsh is my shell? Is there an alternative for zsh?
My family drove to Crater Lake in Oregon last summer. We stopped for gas in a tiny one road town near the park. Due to it being tourist season, we needed to wait around 20 minutes to get ‘service’ at the gas pump. The station only had one person pumping gas. This person was completely overwhelmed. I gave her my credit card and she started to fill up our tank.
5 minutes after driving away from the station I realized the fuel gauge was still indicating close to empty. I turned around and waited another 15 minutes just to tell her she had apparently forgotten to fill my tank. She was incredibly embarrassed (rightly so!). She then told me to LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING while she pumped gas so I could watch the gauge move “just to make sure it was working”. LOL! I still smdh thinking about this experience.
"...but with remote you have to poke someone"
This example does not make sense because in both scenarios, in person or remote, you're 'poking' someone (aka disrupting someone) to ask a question.
Also physically schlepping a laptop around to show someone is way more work than a simple screen share....and in either scenario here you're needing to 'carve out time'.
> Most mid-level and senior people have not learned the skills to mentor while working remotely.
I do not understand why you would choose to generalize to such an extreme degree. How could you possibly have the confidence to speak in such broad terms?
Reflecting on my last 6 years of experience as an engineer (which includes both office-based work and being remote) this is not true at all.
Their demo looks nice in terms of the ‘flow’ building UX. I’d be willing to bet they’re using React Flow[0] as the primary rendering engine of this tool.
This rings true for me as well. I’m in my mid thirties and just moved out of Seattle to live on a nearby island surrounded by trees. The night sounds of coyotes and owls is so much better than a city street.
I always have blue blockers (yellow and also dark orange lenses) in my car and wearing them totally prevents pain and fatigue for my eyes.
