Yeah I wish the article went into more of those details instead of trying to create an analogy to breathing and the widely known facts about expansion during charging.

There are hints in the article that the study was more detailed, so hopefully this is just a poorly written article trying to “dumb it down” too much

Good place. Not as Costco as Costco nor as Sammy as Sam’s Club

For years we had both Costco and BJs Wholesale memberships, because they do complement each other.

BJs Wholesale

• cheap membership
• more non-bulk sizes
• more everyday stuff

Costco

• more expensive membership
• bulk packaging
• more high end or occasional stuff
• excellent store brand (Kirkland)

I never joined Sam’s Club because there isn’t one nearby but my general impression is it s the cheapest but also the lowest quality. If you want the cheapest possible TP this might be for you but if you want the best value on ultra soft multi-ply TP, Kirkland brand at Costco!

For example I might get TP from Costco because great price and bulk packaging for some really nice TP, and that can sit on a basement shelf all year. I might also get a new TV there if they have the brand and model I want because it’ll be a really nice one at a really good price. I might get peanut butter from BJs Wholesale because they carry my preferred brand for less than the grocery and it comes in a size I can finish before it goes bad. They both carry Pepperidge farms bread but Costco requires buying two loaves whereas I think BJs lets you buy one. It’s been a while but I believe BJs Wholesale fruit was a bit better, or maybe just in a quantity I could use.

Costco bakery has outstanding food but too big. I love their muffins but I can’t finish 12. Their tiramisu’s incredible but it’s like 5 pounds. Their birthday cake is cheaper than the grocery while being twice the size and tasting much much better. I bought their pecan pie as a backup dessert for Thanksgiving and it tasted excellent but was bigger than two pies. Of course I did finish it. Eventually

It doesn’t have to change anything in the energy market. All it needs is for someone in government to approve massive federal funding, then: PROFIT. I’m sure there’s no connection and no way anyone in Trump Media knows what will be approved by the Trump administrative

I also read claims the one-child limit became socially engrained. So even once they lifted it, it was not very socially acceptable

officials have already expanded maternity leave benefits and housing subsidies to encourage couples to have more children.

Seems like they’re trying multiple things. Meanwhile we’re over here trying to say middle school kids can be paid less than minimum wage, operate dangerous machinery and work late on school nights. If you can’t afford kids, might as well exploit them

Fair enough, but I still wish I could give you UBI, free healthcare (including mental health and for gucks sake dental), and an opportunity at free college

I’m not entirely sure why all the hate : Jenkins can do the most things the must ways. And yes, it’s so much nicer defining a pipeline with a fully functional language than an assortment of yaml files

Actually that was my response when my company wanted to start using Gitlab ci. It only has one way of doing things so you can probably get a faster start if you had no ci, were a small company, and had simple builds. However we’re over 4,000 builds in many languages from 12 year old monoliths to modern micro services and containers…… and way too much godawful JavaScript. Do you want the quick and simple tool great for a small startup or the all powerful kitchen sink of tools?

“We didn’t put in any effort until the last minute and now we can’t easily do it. It’s not fair to our shareholders”

If I tried to use that bs as a a reason for being late ate work I wouldn’t have a job there anymore

Well most of us might call it a glory hole ……

“But it’s a national security issue that we have a demolished building connected to the white house. We need to fix that. It’s not my fault it’s demolished”

Also Trump: $12B projected loss? Hold my beer.

Sure, no one should be forced at that point. But if they want to, everyone should have the opportunity free. And you’re right there would need to be some sort of safeguard against idiots wasting our money.

But we all benefit from from a better educated population. It’s a crime that free public education has remained at high school level when civilization has gotten much more complex.

And part of this should be that college is not “job training”. Yes our society benefits from people learning how to think or better understand many things which are not directly connected to profitability

Home Assistant hs communities to share exactly that

My similar script has a very different goal: at midnight if someone is still up, it dims the family room light and announces on speaker”hey kids, it’s time for bed”

When I was younger i took credit for intelligence and hard work getting a full scholarship to a good school. That’s part of it, but l realize I started in a good place

As I get older I believe everyone who wants to should have a free college education because we desperately need a more knowledgeable and capable society. And it better be ready by the time I’m ready to sit back

Only the wealthy should be allowed to procreate, huh?

Because in earlier schooling they never learned the difference between “fewer” (used with a noun that can be counted) and “less” (used with noun treated as a mass or volume or level)

No change is too small to waste the time of high level officials to revert out of spite

I get lastic because I pay either way but plastic is more reusable than paper.

I’m finally getting into the habit of bringing bags to the store, although I recently accidentally recycled them so now I have to buy more
