Fun game! After climbing to 1 million feet, it took over 500,000 more to finally reverse direction with the ship pointed down and the engines firing.

  Unbelievable, the crater is visible from Earth

This seems a bit expensive. I recently bought a 25lb bag of flour from Sams club and it was 6.50, or about 26 cents a pound. They also had plenty in stock. Costco also has it for a similar price. Last time I bought yeast there it's also cheap - about 5 or 6 bucks for something like 2lbs(which is a ridiculous amount of baking yeast). Baking a lot can make this practically worth the cost of the membership.

What's the name of the place in Denver? I always like finding good local places.

Are you referring to Digital Object Identifiers? If so, they are still being used. I've only seen it be utilized for scientific research data though - check out datacite.org

I think they must have recently fixed this, in Win 10 Pro at least. I installed Win 10 Pro yesterday, then Chrome and it did not automatically pin itself. Actually, if I remember correctly it even had a message at one point during the install describing how to pin it.

I was doing the same until I couldn't get the calendar widget to work. Opened up the dev console and noticed you can just call 'updateWorkUnits(x)' with x being any number. Instant promotion. You top out at CTO though.

This can apply to online purchases as well. A charge from buying something from ebay, for instance, can be charged back if you end up not getting the item, broken, etc. It's probably harder to get your money back in a case like that with a debit card.
