Seems very similar to this:

(Which isn’t exactly a great thing)...

I agree that it delves into the realm of triviality that’s not worth the costs of developing the policy and enforcing it.

Thank you for pointing that out. I generally stick to as much plain vanilla Django as possible. This may be dimwitted of me but I currently return a jsonresponse dict as my ‘api.’ In my forms I’ve added a noun that allows me to specify httpresponse or jsonresponse and a verb to specify the crud function.

Same here - I’ve been considering the Ryobi riding mower. Cub Cadet has an electric rider as well. It’s interesting, if you can mod your kids power wheels, these riding mowers are basically the same concept. All you’d need would be the electric motors —- which are plentiful — and a 48v 100ah battery. The later is around $2500 on Amazon... which even though you could retrofit/build your own, the retail pricing of the finished mower product isn’t so bad by comparison. I’m not sure of the extended warranty availability but given the battery is easily 80% of the value of the mower that would be my chief concern if it ends up only lasting a season or two.

I'm a fan of django but have been looking for an alternative to DRF. I'll give this a try - thank you for developing this. Looks interesting!

You have a point re: vindictiveness and pettiness. I clicked the link and immediately scrolled into the article failing to notice the author. After about 30 seconds I had the following reaction, “wait! Is this Taleb?” Despite the severe flaws in his prose, he makes some points that I think are worth considering. The chief one is that it’s kind of dumb to attempt a measure of total mental capacity. At best it will result in gross over generalization of the individual’s potential. So what’s the point if not to serve as a means for separating people into developmental tracks as early as possible. Put another way, IQ is simply another way people get evaluated not as individuals but as cogs in the machine. I rather like this critique of IQ and I’m appreciative for Taleb bringing it up (though I doubt he’s the first).

This is a pretty good idea. I'd be surprised if there isn't already an engineering / SW team doing this to create better tools / conditions. Maybe there's a way to pull request your ideas into this effort (presuming an effort exists)?

I guess the poll questions are useful in terms of unrestricted reopening but say nothing about support for partial reopening / reopening with conditions - which in of itself is a bias by omission.

You’re right g.711 is not ideal either. Jitter is a killer. T.38 is a solution when it’s supported on both sides and it is often not. The best solution is email but apparently every title office and pediatrician in the land cannot be bothered! ;) Although thankfully many have moved on.

Fax has an ip protocol called t.38 however it is inconsistently implemented. Most services still rely on g.711 - essentially uncompressed voice - for transmission of fax tones. However there is no guarantee the end to end call will be g.711 even if specified during call setup. There is an app called eFax - unfortunately the service is not free but I as a subscriber routinely fax over the phone when it’s the only way to communicate (like with a doc office).

Sounds great. We just broke out our kitchen aid which had sat dormant next to the bread machine for years. I didn’t know it had a mill attachment but I guess I’m not surprised.

<I’ve contemplated buying a mill.
As in a business or the machinery to use at home?

Great advice thank you. Where are you finding the spelt and whole wheat?

Thank you for adding these points. I did not know about the yeast - so thank you!
