For those less linux-literate: What he's doing is telling the job-scheduling service "cron" (useful for running, e.g., automatic backups, integrity checks, and available-update checks) that if it, or any of the programs it runs, or certain other programs that run as or by services, want to...

Carbohydrates must necessarily be in the diet Primarily because, short of being an exclusive carnivore (even cats aren't quite), they are almost impossible to avoid. You can't even season your meat without getting carbohydrates. (Salt is OK.) The US's FDA states a minimum needed amount of carbohydr...

I don't think Castela necessarily expected Atsali to get angry... but she expected there would be some sort of emotional reaction.

Not, effectively, "who cares?".

(Actually, Atsali saying "who cares?" would be a more emotional reaction than she's showing.)

Yeah, it would make sense for those carts to have a switch to swap the controls, but they don't, and if they did I suspect it would confuse more people than it helps. I have to acknowledge that apparently I'm more ambidextrous* than most people, but I've driven one of those things left-handed once o...

Our primary healthcare provider has bugged us a few times to get on their website and schedule an appointment.

They're in Montana.

We're currently in Arizona.

Not in a hurry... we'll probably be up there about the end of the month.

Judging from how she's dressed and acting, I'm pretty sure she has someone to interact with...

And the most dangerous non-insect non-human species in Africa is an herbivore. Mostly. They have been observed eating carrion, and hunting for meat. Their closest living relative species, outside their taxonomic family, are all primary carnivores. I'd say hippopotamus, but I've not heard of them sc...

Funny thing about "monster" type creatures with horns -- all horned animals are herbivores. Therefore.... Hollywood is silly. And the most dangerous non-insect non-human species in Africa is an herbivore. Mostly. They have been observed eating carrion, and hunting for meat. Their closest ...

Well, a mother puts her soul into Mom Voice... and Kath has a lot more soul than most people. (Was it five of them, or seven?) (Six of them.)

I know from observation that microwaves are water soluble. The Dish TV loses signal when it rains hard. :mrgreen: You know all those problems that the cable companies say you can avoid by having cable rather than satellite TV? We used to have them all... then we disconnected from the cable and got ...

Just checked the database, and there's no mention of an avatar for Warrl.

Appears to be fixed from here.

Only one of those four people aren’t scared $#!+less of Castela, and that’s mom - but that’s only because mom scares the $#!+ out of her . Brandi isn't afraid of Castela for herself . Although she may be afraid of what Castela could do to others. We don't know for certain that the principal is awar...

I've also seen a case when they called a meeting to get everyone else out of the office so nobody would see a co-worker being taken out in handcuffs . . . ... also reduces the number of potential hostages...
