Maybe just “coding”?

I can only watch it on Telemundo and they don’t show commercials besides during halftime as far as I’ve noticed.

Seems to me like he just wanted to advertise that song.

Do you really believe the latest season of Stranger Things is « great tv »?

It tastes like bland mashed potatoes to me.

When I took the GRE in 2017, I got a really bad bloody nose right when the test started and I couldn't pause the test.

The person monitoring wouldn't let me have a bunch of tissues at the computer (Perhaps due to cheating concerns), so each time I needed a new tissue I had to raise my hand and she gave me one.

I didn't end up scoring very well.

I like my name for them better!

Sometimes you may need one when putting in those wooden rod things? Not sure what they are called.

I typically just use the butt end of the screwdriver when I have to put them in

Edit: didn’t see the other reply mentioning the same thing :(

One thing I dislike about using Reddit (At least when accessing the main page from a browser) is that I have to be logged into an account in order to sort comments.

Was this always a thing? I cannot remember if this was in the case in the past, and I don't really have a Reddit account that I actually log into ever.

I think potentially they cannot view the article due to region blocking?

How did you make those comics? Is there something that just generates the html for you?

I did some googling since I was also curious and found this stellar article: https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Hydraulic_head

TL:DR: "Head differences of 100 meters or higher are considered high head. In this type of plant, water travelling through the turbine comes from a significantly higher elevation, meaning that the system needs a smaller volume of water to produce an equivalent amount of energy.[1] These systems generally also require smaller turbines since there is less water flowing through the turbine."

There is also a file format called DICOS which is based off of DICOM which is used by the TSA and various inspection systems:

If you've gone through security at a U.S. airport, the scanners use DICOS format to save scans of your baggage. Someone correct me if I am wrong though - it's possible only a subset of these machines use DICOS, I am not 100% sure.

I recently went through the hiring process for a few companies and while most of them required several technical interviews, one of them never once had me do a coding test. I essentially kept going through the process just to see if they would make me an offer after three conversations (They eventually did make an offer).
