Is it also legume free? I'm allergic. Also, is the protein/amino profile complete and balanced? Also, I tend to believe (based on dieting research and other experiments) that protein sources should generally be consumed with 1:2 1g fat per 2g protein roughly speaking.
I am quite the opposite. I remember bad things quite readily, but have to remind myself repeatedly it wasn't all bad.

As for drinking, it was an excuse to act like an idiot and have some fun when I was younger I think. The hangovers did get much worse as I got older, so I rarely drink now and when I do I don't usually enjoy it that much.

I'm afraid you accidentally posted your canned response about the GDPR next to an article that directly refutes it.

The opening paragraph of the article:

> Nervously, I gave a bounty hunter a phone number. He had offered to geolocate a phone for me, using a shady, overlooked service intended not for the cops, but for private individuals and businesses. Armed with just the number and a few hundred dollars, he said he could find the current location of most phones in the United States.

Do you own a phone?

Pathfinder's entire market was "people who didn't like 4E and wanted to keep playing [/selling OGL supplements for] for 3.5," and on that basis they were one of the only games to come close to matching D&D's success. (They may actually have outside D&D for a few years; it's hard to be sure because WotC doesn't release those numbers.) It was only 4E's divisiveness that let them find a niche, and they started slipping as soon as WotC released a new edition that fixed most of the things that pissed people off about 4E.
I would love to play it but physical games require you to meet up and everyone is too spaced out in this city to visit.
Sure, but just because we relate to them more doesn't affect the ethics of killing other things that are just as alive but are simply less relatable. This has been a strong theme in the progression of civilization.

Ending life to feed our own is how much of nature works, and we have to deal with being a part of that in our ethical thinking, regardless of how associated we are with the life we're ending.

It's simply something to think about: Most people are as flippant about ending the life of a plant, as some are about ending the life of an animal (or various different species of animal, including fish & insects).

I agree that the likelihood of such a thing happening is miniscule. However, I’ve had all sorts of strange postage-system-related issues in my time (granted, I’m in the US, which has likely a much worse system) and it doesn’t seem that far out to me that such a letter would have been mishandled by what is likely an automated system.

"Residents say they aren’t pleased because after Patel came forward with a proposal in the spring that would have placed all parking underground and set back the building 36 feet from their homes, he later scrapped it saying the concessions would be too costly and without warning, presented a different plan to the Planning Commission during an October study session.

In the latest proposal, parking would be at ground level and setbacks reduced to 10 feet.

“He decided he couldn’t afford underground parking and he changed everything,” said Deborah Melmon, a member of Park Forest Plus, the group opposing the new hotel."

Yep, as a reasonably heavy gamer for the past three generations my consoles have been a Playstation or an XBox, and always a Nintendo console (and a PC) as well.

Although I don't see why, in an alternate universe we couldn't have one company making the "serious, powerful" console and two companies competing on the "fun, less expensive, great first party titles (although not so much less expensive now with the switch)" end with the "serious, powerful" one winning out just like Nintendo is in the current environment.
What about releasing it like how Node.js was released? that is a full web platform but one which uses Python instead of Javascript? and with a repository for packages which people can download and use or even contribute to?

Ultimately unless there is an active and vibrant ecosystem, there is very little reason to consider your platform - especially when there are alternatives like Node.js, Django etc.

Also, for me I will be concerned about how I will integrate Anvil with third-party libraries needed for things like reporting, authentication/authorization, E-commerce etc.

Sure, the GUI wizard is not there for Django but what if someone were to develop such a wizard for Django? or what if someone were to say that it is best to stick with Django / Vaadin/Ketura/.NET/Go/Rocket.rs even if it takes another 25% more time to develop in because the ecosystem is much bigger and we can predict with more confidence that Django / Vaadin/Ketura/.NET/Go/Rocket.rs is going to be around?

HOWEVER, if your product was available open source, is a lot easier to setup and use than Django/Ketura/... (you could provide it as a docker image) and you had a business model where you provide hosting for that solution (similar to Heroku) and/or paid support, you may end up making more money because a lot more people would use your platform - lot more than your current model which very few companies will risk purchasing.
Re: Trust; I always found it a bit ironic back in the late 90’s/early 00’s that people would not trust ordering things over the Internet, but happily call a mail-order number and give a complete stranger (and anyone within earshot) their name, address and credit card number.

Defensive weapons are not developed out of a desire to inflict violence, but out of a desire to have the ability to inflict violence. It is a tremendously important but subtle distinction. One is a desire for violence and the other is a desire to avoid violence.

Most deep learning researchers post to arXiv, not just Chinese. With so many seemingly obvious ideas in deep learning, it's an easy way to lay claim to an idea and be first. Since everyone knows that preprints and revisions will be on arxXiv, that's where people search for deep learning papers by default, even if the paper is also published elsewhere.

I agree about having a human in the loop. My idea though was that maybe you could have the best of both worlds with a computer to help the DM. The trick would be making the sandbox rich and responsive enough that the DM and characters would really have freedom in the moment. Maybe the DM could have tools that easily allow him to rez and customize appropriate objects and NPCs in the visualization.
That reminds me of the time I worked in the stock room of student book store in a major university on the west coast of US in mid 1990s. The stock room was in the basement of the school student bookstore. Before and beginning of each semester, we'd get crates of books, books that only college student taking a class would be required to buy.

The crazy thing was, once the semester was nearing the end, we'd pack up all the unsold books (some classes had many unsold books) and ship them back to the publisher, at a significant loss from what I remember.

The student union was run independently from the university as a non-profit and was running a big deficit. However, the office people upstairs had humongous 24 inch CRT monitors, ones that surely cost a pretty penny. In 1998, 17 inch CRT sold for nearly a thousand dollars. I just looked it up. But I digress.

Not a shock to me at all, nor to anyway who's owned a Samsung device in the past.

I've had two Samsung phones and both are loaded with crapware. Some essential apps, such as Calendar, come with multiple versions. Games I would never play are installed by default. And yes, most of the built-in apps like Facebook simply can't be removed.

The only thing preventing me from switching to a Pixel, which I've heard takes a staunchly anti-crapware stance, is the lack of a headphone jack.

I heard this "energy boost" point many times and never understood it.

I tried waking up at 5 AM for a morning workout for a year (with proper 8-9 hour sleep at night) and I would always feel tired for the remainder of the day, especially for a few hours right after the workout. Maybe this depends on the type of a workout. I was doing mostly powerlifting with heavyish postworkout meals.

I am now working out a few hours before my bedtime and it is perfect. I get tired and physically can't stay up late after an evening workout; it really helps with keeping my schedule stable (i.e. not staying up late in front of a screen).
Same but they'll almost never admit to it at work.

Gambling, in most traditional forms, is seen as low-class and stupid, while in reality many, many people in this industry are compulsive gamblers.
One possible interpretation of this trend is that it is yet another manifestation of the neoliberal era. With the steady loss of job security and other benefits from stable employment, along with a society that repeatedly stresses the virtues of individualism and "hustle", it looks increasingly attractive for people to strike out on their own.

Through that lens, one might say that while this article focuses on some successful cases, it ignores the incredible hardship of this ordeal, and the thousands of failures that have happened happening to other people (or even the same people) attempting the exact same thing.

That said, this looks mostly like the future that I want to see. I think that the future is local (maybe even hyperlocal) and a world in which both producers and consumers are more attuned to locality and spatiality drastically widens the possibility space of new experiences.

I think the most radical interpretation of what I actually want to see is a future that's less Darwinian, one in which people can be artisans without also spending most of their lives being entrepreneurs.
I'm glad to see the invisible force field that protects tenured professors is breached. I've known at least one that should have been fired, but wasn't. It's good to see they're not 'above the law'.

An interesting question. Pre- Post- Modern thought (lol English language) was rife with intellectual alchemy, but the concept of divergent schools of thought on the same issue was accepted. Consider the extremely heterogeneous composition of the Abolitionist movement, as well as the members of the various Oriental Schools. Radically different assertions could be grouped into the same class, regardless of fundamental disagreements.

This should probably point to the GitHub repository itself: https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui

Unlike the article, the GitHub repository mentions the Windows and macOS releases.
"George’s remains were preserved in ethanol and his shell will join the more than 2 million other Hawaiian land snail specimens in the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum’s malacological collection. (Malacology is the study of mollusks.)"

"And back in 2017, a tiny piece of George’s foot was carefully cut off and sent to scientists with the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research’s “Frozen Zoo” to provide DNA should scientists ever desire to clone him—which isn't currently possible, but likely will be in the near future. Every animal that dies in the captive breeding program is preserved, and Hadfield notes that it’s sometimes possible to get DNA from old shells as well, so there may be enough genetic diversity to bring the species back. But unless the forests they lived in are restored as well, and the invasive animals removed, there will be nowhere safe to put them."

So maybe one day, when we fixed the other more urgent ecological problems (climate change, habitat loss, etc.) we'll be able to bring back some of these lost species. Maybe.
> Amazon's innovation was bigger catalogs, easier ordering.

I don't know, I'd say Amazon's innovation was logistics. They don't need patents when they have a distribution network capable of delivering an order in most major population centers of the US in two days or less.
Perhaps that's your use case, it's not mine.

How DMs prepare, if they do, is highly variable. But most DMs choose monsters ahead of time. This appears in survey data in The Lazy Dungeon Master. The questionnaires are interesting, when asked how they would prepare for a session if they only had 30 minutes, most DMs explicitly mentioned choosing monsters.

Over the years, my personal experience is that running things out of the browser or PDF is great if you need to search for random rules and other situations that come up during the game, but paper books and notes are overwhelmingly superior for expected conditions like encounters and monsters. I've used various laptop systems (wikis, docs, text files), apps, and paper systems (typed, handwritten, paper or notecard). On the balance of things I decided that running the game with a laptop was worse than running a game without one, at least the way I play the game.

That's just a personal choice, but it seems like most DMs do choose monsters ahead of time.
That's why I will never own a phone.

Some profs just over ordered books.
Some students bought books from other privately owned book stores across the street.
Some students dropped out of class and hence did not buy books that were needed for 2nd half of the semester.

Above reasons contributed to quite a bit of the books not getting sold.

But yeah, I had to uncrate the dang books, and a few weeks later, crate the same books to ship back to publishers.

I bet I'm one of the very few of the student body who learned how to work with Pallet trucks.
