Even going back to the first few seasons, there were an awful lot of misses, and very few hits.
We used to laugh about the killer bees, John Belushi’s Samurai, the coneheads, Dan Aykroyd saying, “Jane you ignorant slut!” on every Weekend Update, but when I look at them now, I’m not sure if the humor was there or just going along with the peer pressure.
On the other hand, I look at the old SCTV shows, and most of the sketches hold up very well.
In 2001, I rented a van in Japan. Digital mapping is essential for Japan, because most streets have no names, and house numbering is almost completely random, often based on the year they were built rather than any linear sequence.
It was incredible to me to be able to punch in a destination and see the map. At the time, I don’t think it could speak the directions to you. And you could search for nearby restaurants and gas stations too!
I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.
Very happy with them.
And then, a couple of seconds later, over his shoulder you see a plane crashing.
The Expanse TV show is superb. I’m halfway through the books now, and in some ways the TV show is much better, in other ways the books are better.
There’s enough subtlety and complexity that I’ve watched the entire series twice, and I wouldn’t be averse to watching it again.
I don’t drink coffee, but the owner of a coffee plantation on the side of a volcano in Panama told me that it was one of the best ways to make coffee. I figure he would know.
My wife, who does love coffee, doesn’t use it simply because it only makes one small cup of coffee at a time, and she likes to start the day with a big cup. She acknowledges that the taste is superior.
I got one from Prime Cables that not only has a magnetic attachment to the computer, it has different tips so you can use it for USB Micro, C or Lightning. The cable itself has little magnets so it coils up almost automatically.

A lot of his science fiction writing is available with a Creative Commons license, meaning that you can download and read it for free. I really enjoy his quirky, sardonic style.

We don’t seem to have a problem giving the state power to take life from other countries’ citizens, though. The only way you can stop that is if the other country is more powerful than yours.
And born black. And a Muslim a Hindoo an Indian brown.
My point is not about how case is meant to be used my point is that it is very easy to make a mistake that is difficult to spot. I think it makes a lot more sense to the case insensitive, and force different names to be used.
I feel the same way about programming languages. There is no way that “User” and “user” should refer to different variables. How many times has that screwed people up, especially in a weekly typed language?
One of the many things that I feel modern versions of Pascal got right.
Famous people take out those kinds of insurance policies, or say that they have taken them out, in order to get attention.
The Japanese government wants people to choose citizenship by the end of their 20th year, because 20 is the age of majority in Japan. But if you don’t say anything, they won’t ask, and you can keep renewing your Japanese passport along with your other nationality’s.
I’m a Canadian, and I was married to a Japanese woman. She was on the family registry, and our children were, but I was a comment. Way to show a commitment to treating all people equally, Japan!
I would imagine that it also has to do with the family registry. If a woman marries a man, she is taken from her own Family Registry and entered in her husband’s. I would imagine that upon the husband’s death nothing changes for the wife, but she has the option of returning to her own family registry.
I’m not 100% sure that this is how it works, or the reason for this termination, but it seems like a valid one.
The “Mission” paragraph above the highlighted text is even more ludicrous!
I think that’s part of the puzzle is definitely that small children don’t get embarrassed or ashamed if they make a mistake. Adults and older kids do, so they stop trying or they limit themselves to what they know they can do well.
As he himself says, he writes songs about the working man, but has never held the job in his life.
However I did go to see him this summer for the first time. The cheesy Rock Icon bit is tedious, but by the middle of the show I was enjoying myself. He really is an excellent showman.
That’s how batteries in series work.
