Off topic, I love your site - it's a perfect homage to a loving family tradition (even if it was only for a couple of vacations). This site is, I think, an example of what a beautiful internet could be (and maybe is, if anyone knows got to find more sites like this-really authentic stories). Now, I hope I'm not being fooled by an AI generated story, but even if I am, I am happy to believe in that illusion.

Edit: After reflecting on this situation, your creation, your art: the css library paired with your story gave me a modern day Norman Rockwell dopamine hit. This has been an absolute experience, bravo to the collaboration!

Multiple non-unique SSIDs (name) can exist within a single router. More extremely, you and your neighbor can have the same SSID on two different routers.

Can you go into more detail about this? I may be misunderstanding, but I read 'never persisted' as meaning my users must provide credentials for every API call.

>Clinical need top trumps comfort.

I think this is where the disconnect is. As a best faith interpretation, I don't believe you made the statement in a condescending manner -- I think it just flowed naturally.

The comment I quoted seems to imply waking a patient is akin to disrupting the comfort of the patient. I read the arguments being made in this thread and in the article as: waking the patient and/or disturbing sleep of a patient causes detrimental effects on the patient's health which lie outside the realm of just comfort.

Multi-patient bays seem to act as an architectural reinforcement that sleep is a comfort.

You haven't received a print issue this year? That makes me think my story may not be unique.

I ordered a subscription to the physical magazine on May 1st of this year. Liz (managing editor) responded to my two inquiries about shipping. Each time she stated shipping was 2-3 weeks away. Both of those time frames were missed. Liz stated there were issues with the production of one issue (specifically #24).

Nearly four months after ordering, I am still product-less. I asked for a refund earlier this week, and I haven't gotten a response--I have escalated the issue to PayPal at this point. The order is marked as refunded on naultil.us's store page, but I haven't seem any action on the PayPal end.

Apache nifi (https://nifi.apache.org/) is a software which handles streaming ETL processing.

From a previous post I made about it: "We have HTTP endpoints set up to receive data from our ERP's accounting system to send data to Concur and to update customers' Lawson punchout ordering systems with shipment information. The 'E' is an HTTP post with an XML payload. The 'T' consists of using the payload to query other databases to build the 'L' payload, and the 'L' is an HTTP post to the consumer's endpoints."

I think there is valid confusion to be had in interpreting this statement.

Usually, when a statement of "choose either x or y" is made, then the only valid options are exclusively x or exclusively y (None and Both are not valid).

Though, when the statement of "if either x or y then do action" is made, then the action is done with any of three valid options: x, y, or x and y (only None is not valid).

To change the second statement to mean the first, you could say "if only x or only y then do action." The "only" cancel Both as being an option.

> And the idea that fat = calories in - calories burned is a simplistic view that no serious nutritionist on either side of the debate believes.

I want to preface this comment by saying I am not attempting to be rude or combative, I am genuinely curious.

If a calorie is a measure of energy contained in food, and food is the only source of energy for a body, and one mechanism by which the body uses that energy is to store fat, then a positive change in fat matter stored can maximally be the value of calorie intake converted to mass (in some discrete time).

Or, a positive change in fat stored (mass) <= calories in (again, in some discrete time).

Is this still too simplistic?

Can you explain what you mean by the math not being correct? I verified the previous poster's calculations. They do seem to be correct. Is this an issue with notation: $ vs. c?

This reminds me of Verizon .02 cents debacle from a while back.

I haven't re/viewed the product/website, but I do want to mention that I immediately pronounced the product name as "H-IVY" (aitch-ivee) in my mind. There may be a stigma associated with that pronunciation.
