We recently moved and don’t have a fence up in our yard yet, so we’re having to take the dog out on her leash. My wife was walking her around the back yard and the dog was very intently sniffing the ground, following a trail that must’ve been very recent. Meanwhile she never noticed that about 15 feet (4.5 meters) away was a cat happily laying on its back and bathing itself. We’re guessing the cat is what our dog was snelling but she never saw it, completely oblivious.
I did a decade in local TV, then worked a few years at a company that made production equipment that I’d guess anyone who works around camera, DIT, director, producer, etc. would know. Relatively small company so I don’t want to risk identifying myself by naming it. I’m out entirely now, though. Not even running cameras for pledge drives at the local PBS station because they stopped producing them that way.
Do döner kebabs in Austria count as a Turkish food?
The Craigslist Best Of could be some fun reading
Albums are a great statement from artists but in the history of recorded music the LP phonograph or album is relatively new, introduced in 1948. Before then artists basically only released singles. In a way the album was originally a value purchase; instead of buying 7 different singles you could buy one LP for a lower price. It’s almost more like the modern “greatest hits” albums successful musicians release.
I don’t think it’s fair to outright dismiss someone who’s only releasing singles; it’s not actually a new phenomenon. Maybe they’re not saying as much as people releasing albums, but not all albums are really carrying a concept or bigger thought, either. Not everything needs to be a novel; there’s a place for short articles or random comments online.
Why would someone need that instead of just printing it and mailing it themselves?
Most of Apple’s Pro Apps were software they acquired from other companies. Logic Pro was originally developed by C-Labs, Final Cut Pro was originally developed by Macromedia, and Pixelmator was its own company.
Interesting; in the US the driver who broke your arm would have to pay for your medical treatment, normally out of their automobile’s liability insurance but if they don’t have enough they would still be liable to pay for it. There are lawyers who make their entire career out of lawsuits on behalf of people injured in car crashes to make the insurance pay more. Not just the medical bills but paying for the time missed from work and other compensation. If the driver doesn’t have sufficient insurance or the driver flees the scene (hit and run) and remains unknown or uncaptured (since that makes the criminal charges much more serious), the victim could be out of luck, though.
I think a typical car insurance policy comes with coverage of $150k per injured person, though, so that’s usually sufficient.
More because of the book than the movie (although the movie was good): The Little Prince
Even Steven
Fascinating. On the one hand it’s great these kids in Kenya are getting answers. On the other, it feels kinda creepy that the lawyers can just take the results of a DNA test and compare it to Ancestry.com’s database of 30 million DNA samples and find either the father or a family member of the father.
The exact wording isn’t coming to me, but there are a lot of decisions in life where one option is basically as good as another. Making your choice successful depends less on the decision itself and more on how much effort you put into it.
So she’s holding her granddaughter, if I’m running the generations correctly?
I got one of those when I was in college and it was perfect for that. A little underpowered but great for writing, notes, etc.
That can be especially effective on some of the genre-specific stations. I almost feel like I’m learning something when Richard Blade is on First Wave and he can really put together a set. Billy Idol is almost funny with how quickly he announces songs but if he has a guest it’s usually a fascinating conversation.
Designers would tell you the quality is typically better on a professionally designed and commercially sold/licensed font, although there have been some excellent FOSS fonts in recent years, usually because of someone paying professionals to put the same effort into the font but then releasing it under a Free or Open license. The drawback of commercial fonts is mainly cost, especially for some popular fonts. The cost can vary depending on your intended use, such as one price for print material, a different price for web use or app use, and online uses might even be licensed for how many visitors a site has. Like, a license might only cover 100,000 visitors per month.
And as others have mentioned, Google Fonts as a service is “free” but as with many Google offerings comes at the cost of additional Google tracking. They’re mainly using Free/Open fonts so they don’t have to pay licensing fees, not really out of support for free software. They have a lot of offerings that are mediocre ripoffs of commercial fonts.
Butterick’s Practical Typography has a few recommendations on Free/Open fonts. The whole “book” is something I recommend reading to anyone who has even a passing interest in making their written work look more professional.
And I question how viable it is given this:
To achieve this, scientists used JQ1, a small molecule inhibitor originally developed to study cancer and inflammatory diseases. While JQ1 is not suitable as a treatment due to neurological side effects, it is known to interfere with a stage of meiosis called prophase 1. This allowed researchers to demonstrate, for the first time, that targeting meiosis can safely and reversibly shut down sperm production.
It sounds like calling the treatment “safe” might be a bit of a stretch.
Why do they gotta front?
I’m visualizing this like a scene out of a James Herriot book 😂
