Winter driving and shoulder season driving. Snow, ice, black ice, freezing rain, slush, hydroplaning, driveway clearing, walkway maintenance, windshield scraping, and keeping an emergency kit for breakdowns. Stuff like that.

You are not wrong. I think the best use of this would be a verification test that had significant impact on your grade but didn't necessarily fail you if you did well in other evaluations.

Think of it as a conversation like a job interview that takes into account the different ways people react in that environment. I do this when I'm interviewing job candidates. I interview people for technical jobs. I value good communicators but if that's the only people I hired, I wouldn't have as good a team. But if I do hire someone who isn't as good as this, I coach them. They get more comfortable. I realize some people have anxiety or other things that make this very difficult, I think that could be taken into account (e.g. more written work but in an observed setting).

I'll just leave this here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html

Switch to oral exam and you'll know fairly quickly who is actually learning the material.

I was going to add this but figured I had already given too many points. This is the way, though.

As an old programmer, always build in checks for your systems. Keep a cache of posted articles and check it before posting so you know you haven't posted this one yet.

When you let something run overnight, that's going to go south somehow. If running overnight for the first time, throttle it to one post per hour. And not the same post. I'm the morning you check if it successfully posted a new article once per hour. Next let it post a little more frequently. Ease into your desired frequency once you have figured out all your edge cases and scale issues.

And so forth.

Ask the popcorn eating will counteract the alcohol, digestion-wise.

The people handling him knew exactly what was going on there. This happens all the time, I'm guessing.

They doubled the mandatory flare. Again.

When they get funky fill to the brim with cold water and a little bleach (tablespoon is probably enough). Let it sit then rinse very well until you can't smell bleach. It will be like new.

Respect.

It's a big city so there's a few. I don't get out much, though. :)

Don't listen to the others. What you are doing is good. I, too, am obsessed with a decent cup.

Just yesterday, I was out with my wife and we went to a coffee shop. I got a superlative cappuccino and picked up a pretty expensive bag of beans meant for espresso. So good.

When I was younger, I could never afford this sort of thing, but as I get older I can't really enjoy a lot of other things and don't need to spend much to live other than basic expenses. :)

Now, let's get into proper dishwasher loading.

Exactly, it's stringing together information in a series of iterations, each time adding a new inference consistent with what came before. It has no way to know if that inference is correct.

At some point it will freeze up, stop working, and you can say "see?!" while it thaws. But no one will acknowledge you were correct and tried to warn them. But you'll know.

Reviews are good for convincing other customers that you are a real site and the product is what it says it is.

An ethical company leaves up critical reviews and tries to address the issues their customer faced.

The opposite is a company that only allows good reviews to be published or outright fakes them.

I have worked for both kinds of businesses and I can assure you the ethical businesses care very much about bad customer experiences and use the feedback to improve.

Agreed.

I keep my tolerance (and intake) low. I don't care about getting high, I just need to sleep better. I occasionally have some when it's not right before bed if I'm having a bad day re mental health but keep that a very, very low levels. I liken it to having a single beer.

When you do this, you get the health benefits (physical and mental) without negative effects, or at least that is how it works for me.

On Reddit, anyway, on conservative safe spaces with flair you'll often see people self identifying as monarchists. It's a nice way of saying "fascist dictatorship". The leader would of course be psychologically identical to them in perpetuity, just because.

This was total projection on his part. His properties are in need of maintenance, loans are coming due, and money laundering is largely dried up, I'm guessing. He's probably getting ready to declare bankruptcy to get out of an financial penalty he might face. Then he can also claim he was bankrupted by "whoever" and it wasn't his fault.

Also: "Wink, wink, I'm so smart I tricked them into thinking I'm bankrupt even though I have a gold toilet."

Finally, it's a great way to get donations for his legal defense fund.
