As a kid, I had no idea they would someday print books, so each day I cut out the strip from the newspaper and paste it into a book. I’m sure my mom threw it away decades ago, but I wish I still had it.

As a child I identified with Calvin. Now as a 50+ year old I find I identify much more with the dad.

Maybe if your camera is broken? Or you are using one of those phones built without a camera (like the ones issued to people who work at secure government sites)?

LOL. What this tells me is I should never fly on a Boeing aircraft ever again. I wonder how much Boeing had to pay Trump to get the FAA to say this.

I have the same issue with board gamers. Now, admittedly it isn't as intrusive as audio/video uploads. But so many want to record the game along with the names of the players. When I request they don't use my actual name and just put Player A (or whatever) they look at me like I'm a weirdo. When did it become weird to want as little information about yourself to be online?

I just searched "Firefox" in the app store. The top result is Google Chrome with an Ad indicator (Google paid for higher placement). Second is Firefox.

Have you actually used Vue or any of the other options in a full application? Because what you are saying doesn’t match my experience.

And here I am - an ancient history grad with a career in STEM. Life is odd.

Is it just genetic? On my father’s side, people typically live to 100 at a minimum and are perfectly healthy mentally and physically right up till a week or so before they die. My grandmother is 103 and can still lives alone in her house and can walk unassisted, has a memory sharp as anything, and so on. Maybe look at long lived families and figure out what is different about them?

So, it is surrounded by the least educated states. I guess that explains the stupid name.

> The flight test began with Super Heavy successfully lifting off by igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf of America.

It took me a moment to remember what the Gulf of America is. What stupidity.

How exactly can a website restrict itself in a single state?

I always keep my ICE cars for at least 25 years. It is crazy to me that people are getting rid of them after only 12 years.
