An excess of caution is probably well warranted, considering the hysteria.

Some interesting suggestions, but it'll be a few more days before I can dig out enough to actually try some things.

Not sure what you meant to say, but you didn't quite say it, whatever it was.

No comment.

For a long term solution, you could wall mount a window unit, or get a dedicated wall mount unit. The latter is more expensive, but gives you more servicing options. Essentially,...

If that's the way they want it....then we don't want them around.

I spent the last week clearing a trail in one of the most remote places in the country. It was an insanely steep trail, too, with plenty of poison ivy (looks like I avoided that) and ticks (I avoided...

Here we are in early April. All has been well since Jan 6th. Can't say that I've used this system every day, but perhaps a few times a week, each week, since between then and now. I forget when I...

Usually, reducing packaging is an excuse to reduce product while keeping the price the same. You'd have to be looking at the cost/weight, and remembering that from one trip to the next. I purchase...

That's an interesting point. I hadn't considered durability. In general, I'm usually pretty good with equipment when hiking, but weight could be an issue with hiking.

Being a flip-phone person, I...

Is this homework? I ask because the requirements are kind of nuts. If it's homework, you HAVE to do it the way you are asked to do it, but if it isn't homework, then there are far better approaches...

The debt is backed by our collective belief that the debt is backed. When we lose that belief, you end up with hyper-inflation, because nobody believes the note is worth much.

On a recent hike, I...

We are vaccinated free of charge, as well....except that SOMEBODY is buying the material that goes into making a vaccine. In our case, it is the companies that make it, which is paid for by the...

I liked every single word of that post. I totally share your frustration with the cell phone market, which is why I've been sticking with my flip phone for all these years. Still, the time has come...

I've been studying plans. There are a bewildering array of them, though I've been looking lately at USMobile because they have a build your own plan, which looks pretty good. Still considering...

Doesn't seem odd to me. Boise is our one big city, and it has about the highest rate of vaccination in the state. The less populated parts of the state have lower vaccination rates, out here. Whether...

Mine was a smaller Wal-Mart, somewhat less traveled. They asked a few questions that amounted to, "Are you breathing?" and "Are you currently sick?" After that, I had to wait a few minutes, as there...

People might be surprised, but I still have a particularly ancient flip phone, partially held together by JB Weld.

However, the time has probably come to move into the somewhat more modern times,...

When it comes to vaccination rates, everything you see is going to be out of date.

Idaho is is vaccinating at a surprising rate. They've now opened it to everybody over 16...I think. It's actually...

That's a really interesting map. Vaccine refusal was thought to be ethnically oriented, at first, but has now been shown to be more religion oriented, and political affiliation oriented. The map...

Depending on some factors that are not yet fully known, vaccination could, in theory, make mutations somewhat more likely to spread. Essentially, what a vaccination does is tells your immune system...

Well, SHE thought it was terrible. She felt her face was pretty round to begin with, and that those coils just exaggerated the width of her face. At least in the first Star Wars. She had different...

No outfit, and a better hairdo, but it wasn't unpleasant.

I assume this is a translation issue. Nothing is produced free of charge. As long as there is some production, there is a cost, and somebody will have to pay it. I'm not sure what you mean by...

All those keypress methods could be removed entirely, along with a bunch of other code, if you used a NumericUpDown control rather than a textbox. As you have it, the design is flawed, because...

Then stop adding advertising links into your signature.

Good that you got the vaccine, though. The P.1 variant that is sweeping through Brazil is both more contagious, and is known to re-infect those who have already had the virus. Whether or not the...

Got one this morning. Signed up almost by accident. Showed up, got the jab, was out of there in perhaps half an hour total. After all, you have to sit there for fifteen minutes after you get the jab...

By the way, the last post was only because there had been nothing in the Post Race for several days.

Got a vaccine, today. I have no idea whether or not I'm eligible, so I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to get it until I got it. The eligibility rules here are confused enough that I was thinking...

If it really was just three, I'd be inclined not to use a loop at all, but to write it out. If it was more than three, I'd probably have them in some kind of collection, which would either be a...

Operator precedence, especially for Boolean and bitwise operators, can appear a bit fiddly. Even if you look them up, you might misinterpret the significance of the order for OrElse and AndAlso. The...

I'm not terribly sympathetic to the view, personally. If you are using a dll written by somebody else, you are going to pay whatever price they charge, or else you are stealing it. That price may be...

Yeah, except for the unburned gas emitted by the tailpipe.

As for the virus going to mice. I suppose that's understandable. The rodents were all like, "they're having a pandemic and we're NOT...

I've always felt it was that last point. China was effective, but by using means that the US and EU simply couldn't do. We had people protesting the wearing of masks. What would it have taken to...

Yeah, well, now I'm making glass, based on his excellent tutorial. If you haven't read that chapter, it is pretty easy reading.

I abandoned this project in favor of one that is more likely to have value. AI has kind of left the hobbyist behind, and I had something equally interesting, and more likely to be beneficial, to work...

How difficult is it to upgrade the RAM? Some laptops make this easy, others make it darn near impossible. If it is easy to upgrade, then you have your decision. If it is impossible to upgrade....then...

Uhhh, that didn't translate well. It makes it look like those three sentences are related, they are not. I don't think they are related in either time or subject.

Yeah, so do I.

Oh come on, with all the zoom backgrounds you can get, is it REALLY that amazing?
