To sleep, perchance to dream. And in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

That’s how batteries in series work.
I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.
Very happy with them.
The Expanse TV show is superb. I’m halfway through the books now, and in some ways the TV show is much better, in other ways the books are better.
There’s enough subtlety and complexity that I’ve watched the entire series twice, and I wouldn’t be averse to watching it again.
I don’t drink coffee, but the owner of a coffee plantation on the side of a volcano in Panama told me that it was one of the best ways to make coffee. I figure he would know.
My wife, who does love coffee, doesn’t use it simply because it only makes one small cup of coffee at a time, and she likes to start the day with a big cup. She acknowledges that the taste is superior.
I got one from Prime Cables that not only has a magnetic attachment to the computer, it has different tips so you can use it for USB Micro, C or Lightning. The cable itself has little magnets so it coils up almost automatically.

I have been using walkscape as well. My walks with the dogs have almost doubled in length, just because I have a little incentive to achieve a goal in the game.
A lot of his science fiction writing is available with a Creative Commons license, meaning that you can download and read it for free. I really enjoy his quirky, sardonic style.

My point is not about how case is meant to be used my point is that it is very easy to make a mistake that is difficult to spot. I think it makes a lot more sense to the case insensitive, and force different names to be used.
I feel the same way about programming languages. There is no way that “User” and “user” should refer to different variables. How many times has that screwed people up, especially in a weekly typed language?
One of the many things that I feel modern versions of Pascal got right.
As he himself says, he writes songs about the working man, but has never held the job in his life.
However I did go to see him this summer for the first time. The cheesy Rock Icon bit is tedious, but by the middle of the show I was enjoying myself. He really is an excellent showman.
I’ve been using this for about 3 months. I would estimate that my dog walks are now about twice as long as they used to be. I don’t really enjoy walking, but this gives me just enough incentive to do it everyday and, if I feel like taking a shortcut, taking the long way instead.
You can also play at the Internet Arcade or Classic PC Games on archive.org.
The chainmail creators for tge Lord of the Rings movies made so much chainmail that they were their fingerprints completely off.
The U.S. supplied more than $600 billion (in 2023 dollars) in lend-lease aid, mostly to Britain and the USSR, starting in March 1941. It’s ludicrous to say that they were ever considering joining the Axis powers.
As someone who self identifies as on the spectrum ( I’m over 60, so I doubt I’m going to be tested, but I have many – but not all – typical autism traits), I would say that it’s true for me. I have never been close to people, even my own family. I’ve never had a very good friend, and when I move away from people, I typically don’t keep in touch.
Foe example, both my parents died in the past 2 years, and while I feel a sense of loss, no strong emotions. If I lost my wife or children, I think I would continue without feeling significant trauma. I know that I’m supposed to be devastated by those kinds of losses, but it just doesn’t happen. I don’t really have strong attachments to anything or anyone.
I don’t think I’m a bad person, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like to see people suffer, and I have a strong aversion to conflict, so I don’t believe I’m a sociopath.
So count me In as one of the people who believes that autism can be related to a lack of empathy, based on personal experience.
I have the set of Infocom text adventure games. I think the earliest ones came out in about 1981 or 82. I still fire one up now and then for a nostalgia hit. I bought a few when they came out, but couldn’t afford more.
You can play some of them online, in your browser. Of course there are thousands of text adventure games (a.k.a. interactive fiction) available for free. Definitely worth checking out! And look at Inform, a language and IDE for creating these games by using more or less standard English.
To protect against piracy, most of these games required physical objects that were included in the game box. They are known as feelies. There are plenty of places on the web where you can find all the feelings you need.
I understand the concept, but I have never heard the term Native American used for anyone except the indigenous people within the United States of america.
