The most poignant and human part of his retelling, was the stranger's smile while he was waiting in the car. That is what made him start moving away from the darkness.

It's such a seemingly banal action, but so fundamentally human, in which we acknowledge one-another's humanity, and show appreciation for it and ours.

Smile folks. It doesn't cost anything, and it just might be the spark needed to light someone's life.

Is it really TCP though? Was each packet ACKnowledged? Would it be more UDP if any were dropped? Might also be a touch of SMTP, or maybe NSSMTP (No So SMTP)!

A 24-hour conference with well known and lesser-known, all high-quality speakers from around the world, on a variety of technology topics, as a fund-raiser for Direct Relief, helping those who have been most impacted by Covid-19.

Of course not. "Friday" isn't universal. Clearly, `-f` is the "Finally" flag

Fortunately, I still get to see a banner advertising their streaming music service, or to watch the World Series through Youtube.

Nice to see their ad-service platform isn't impacted. /s

Sounds a lot like the work done by William Ury, whose works can be found online (TED talks, Yoytube copies of some talks, his book "Getting to Yes"). That is, listening, and HEARING what the other person is saying, not "priming" your argument, and staying away from the literal "You're wrong!"

It is, particularly since there is a) a premium price on the rental (3-5x last I checked) for that one day b) rental windows are shrunk (3-4 hours max is typical) and c) rentals are reserved back-to-back-to-back, such as 6-10,10-2,2-6,6-10,but often returned late, which trickles down. So last moves often end in the wee morning hours. Doubly fun when you're waiting on the previous tenant to get out before you can get your stuff in.

The same is true when using movers and moving companies, assuming you can find any with availability.

I've often wondered, especially as I cringe, clench and brace as I encounter another pothole (or chasm) why this is still an issue? Particularly since there are very well known and enduring roadways capable of handling much heavier loads and stresses - specifically airport runways and taxiways.

I can't recall ever seeing a runway shutdown abd inoperable for months on end due to "road work". I can think of a few reasons around why this isn't a thing, most of them being human factor (no money on building something I won't get paid again to fix later). The only "true" reason I can fathom is that runways are much more expensive to build. Order(s?) of magnitude more expensive.

Am I way off the mark, or is there something I've clearly missed?

All three manufactured/retail products listed also contain a non-insignificant amount of potassium, particularly the Pedialyte, to which the homemade solution matches best. Is the value added by potassium minimal enough to not include it? Or is availability in a common household more of an issue?

I have seen in stores sodium-free salt, and reduced-sodium salt, which both substitute potassium for the "missing" sodium, which can be a source of potassium if the added benefit is worthwhile.

There were two major standout points to me in the article. The first was that the main engines (SSMEs) were replaced so that the originals could be used for the next generation system.

The other thing that's piqued my curiosity is that once drained of fluids, the shuttles could never be powered on again. Not just "can't be certified for flight" or even "engines can't be safely fired", but a complete inability to even power on.
