They still have the mp3s I uploaded. I was surprised they made the transition from GPM to YTM. And I know they are still mine because it's a defunct local band that has no streaming/online presence.
I was told by a commercial electrician at a previous job that it was a bad idea to use breakers as routine switches. They are not designed or rated for the constant make/break cycles on live equipment.
He was telling me this as he was replacing breakers we routinely used to turn on/off the lights in a good sized space, and said he was in there every few years to do the same thing because for whatever reason the lights had been installed without regular switches, or they were inaccessible, or had been removed due to tampering, or some similar issue. Two we had at that point were intermittent when turning on, and one had failed by releasing the magic smoke with a sizzle.
Based on what I read here it seems it takes special breakers to be used as switches. Apparently...not the ones we had.
There is no need for an evolutionary advantage if the process of death doesn't have an effect on survival of the genetic line.
It could simply be an effect of systems shutting down while the brain tries to sustain life. The brain may piece together sounds and sensations to try and make sense of a jumble of sensory perceptions going through distressed synapses.
From another perspective, perhaps people who have experienced these effects have been a source of inspiration for religions. The concept of reviewing one's life, being judged, and/or learning and moving on to another life or another form of existence shows up in various human cultures and religions.
I have surprisingly never once experienced confusion between Jif peanut butter and a digital graphics file format. I don't even know how I'd make that into a sandwich.
A hard G like "git" is fine.
It's pronounced "jit".

or g/k, not sure any more
Either compromise by making a half hour change and then never changing again, or never leap forward again. Do not keep DST permanently.
Getting up at night and not having the sun come up for 1-2 hours is murder on me. Every year as spring forward approaches, my circadian rhythm starts to get more normalized right before the stupid 'leap forward' and is then thrown off horribly for almost two months until we get back to that same morning sunrise time.
Looking at this year's sunrise times, I have a wake-up time that at least lets me see twilight as I'm getting ready 232 days out of the year with regular old DST, with one very negative sleep phase adjustment and one neutral-positive adjustment.
If we just got rid of DST, it would be 287 days out of the year, but zero adjustments.
If we had permanent DST, it would only be 182 days, but zero adjustments.
It's trivial to stay up past sunset (which would be as late as almost 8pm with no DST), but it is excruciating to get up at night to start my day. Please just eliminate DST. Do not adopt it permanently.
Perhaps it is AT&T's fault. I've had a heck of a time just getting either entity to acknowledge the absurdity of the situation.
At least I can take my unlocked Pixel 6 and phone number to a different carrier if I want. Unfortunately AT&T still has the best rural coverage in my area last I checked. But then that was when they had not turned off 3g.
They gave me conflicting info over whether my 4g LTE phone, a Samsung Galaxy S8+, would still work. About half of the CSRs I've talked to said it should work fine after the 3g shutoff, and the other half say no. After extensive research I think it's going to shut off today.
When they first contacted me, they claimed it was a 3g phone. I haven't had one of those since 2014. It turns out that Samsung upgraded the branded S8 and S8+ phones to properly use VoLTE, which AT&T now requires. But they never upgraded the unlocked phones.
I bought an unlocked phone from Samsung because it offered versatility for travel (pop in a sim in another country) and reduced bloat. Samsung claimed it was 100% compatible with AT&T, and AT&T welcomed it as a BYOD phone. Samsung voluntarily and inexplicably failing to upgrade the unlocked phone when it did so for the branded phones is a slap in the face. I bought a flagship phone for a reason, and this is not the treatment I expect.
Oh, and AT&Tdidn't ask me for a choice -- since that particular CSR said my S8+ was supposed to work after the shutoff. So they sent me a potato phone that is several massive steps down from my 4+ year old S8+.
I was set to buy an S22 Plus or Ultra as my next phone this spring. Now I'm going with a Pixel. It's even the first time I've ever seriously considered going to an iPhone.
First, I wonder what H&R will think about a financial related company named Block.
Second, congratulations to them on achieving a new dimension. And they have room to expand when they incorporate as Tesseract.
You have invented a library card catalog. Which I suppose is a proto-search-engine. But at least things are sorted.
So...can we grow new eyes and harvest the nice brand new crystal clear lenses to transplant to correct cataracts?
Thank you. That piece of educational mythology still pops up frequently well over a decade after it was fully debunked. It shows up in IEPs, education classes, evaluation documents, etc..
Data is often embargoed so that no one can swoop in and 'scoop' the researchers that put millions of hours and grant dollars into a research project, but once the embargo is over, the data is fairly public. Sometimes even placed out in the open,. I've used data from https://opendata.cern.ch/ in my physics classes.
I've also recently started looking at what LIGO shares. https://www.gw-openscience.org...
My privacy settings on Facebook are all carefully set and periodically reviewed. My phone number is not visible to the public and never has been. So when I see that it is included in the database, it makes me wonder, if the data was only from publicly available information scraped from FB, how did they get my phone number?
Agreed -- we need to hold them to their obligation to deploy high speed networks via fiber. They've received the moeny, tney need to fulfill their end of it.
Happiness is a hard disk.
