I guess it's an allergy to some degree; don't care about the term. I only get it from melons (not watermelon), kiwi and Brazil nuts. I don't eat anything that makes my throat and ears constricted!!

You can see it if you look. I've had a favorite walking spot on the coast of New Hampshire and I can definitely see now how the coast has eroded in the last three years

Anybody who’s interested in the history of Area 51 should read Skunk Works by former (and sadly deceased) Lockheed exec and Skunk Works head Ben Rich.

Area 51 is never referred to as ‘Area 51’ in the book — just as ‘Paradise Ranch,’ ‘The Ranch,’ ‘Groom Lake’ or just ‘the secret base’

They are, even places like Malibu the older beach front homes are unliveable because the ocean gets in them when there's storms. The new beach houses have retaining walls.

Have you had an allergy test? Itching and swelling are definitely allergic symptoms, the throat swelling being especially concerning. Allergic reactions can increase dramatically in severity from one instance to the next, so you should seriously avoid kiwi. Anaphylaxis is not something you want to experience.

BMG in Lakewood NJ is an Orthodox Jewish college that accepts federal funding.

Correct.

Incorrect. This is in agreement with the person you responded to. It’s contrary to your initial comment.

The issue here is that you made an incorrect statement, were then corrected, then proceeded to say that your initial statement was correct while at the same time agreeing with the correction.

What a lovely unbiased answer. It definitely wouldn’t be something like the people kicked off Twitter for covid “misinformation” that were later proven right.

I live in South Florida. We see it.

Keep in mind that when they say sea level rise, they’re talking averages. Tides vary already. The ocean level rises and falls on every coastline.

What we’re seeing locally is that high tides inundate areas that weren’t previously subject to inundation, and areas that are normally tidally inundated stay wet longer, and in some places don’t dry out at all.

There’s a local boat ramp nearby that has a storm drain that stays flooded to the top pretty much all the time now. When I was a kid it would only flood with the tide.

We’re also seeing tremendous beach erosion. The shore is at a gradual slope, so every inch or rise moves the shore break a foot or so closer to the dune. This erodes the dune and makes for a short, steep beach.

When I was a kid, you could play frisbee in front of a local beachside pizza shop. That same shop is now atop a sea wall. There is nothing between it and the sea.

I’ve got a beach house I can sell you in Idaho

By that logic, people can force almost anything out of a company by acting in collective, which is true, but the fact of the matter is that they basically never collectively act on the economy to their own immediate personal detriment. The only times things like that happen are when they are legislated, like New Jersey banning people from self-pumping their own gasoline.

Not really. As long as it made the same amount of money. People would have to refuse to use stores with self-checkout, and in large numbers, for it to make a difference.

Bromelain - it's a chemical in pineapple that's basically a meat tenderizer. Interestingly, if you have surgery or another procedure and need to reduce swelling afterward, drinking pineapple juice or eating fresh pineapple can help.

I regret to inform you that the Nevada desert is at an elevation of about 4000 feet.

Whenever anyone creates a company, the owner(s) create a certain number of shares that have a "par" value based on how much money was invested by the owners to create the company.

Say you and a buddy create a lawn mowing company. You each put $100 in to get started. You do the paperwork with your state, pay a fee and create "Buddy's Mowing" with 1,000,000 (500,000 shares to each of you) shares of stock. Each share of stock would be worth $0.0002 ($200/1,000,000).

10 years later, you are the dominant mowing force in your city and you decide to go public. You find a broker to represent you, and an exchange and each of you decide to offer 100,000 shares of stock at $10. So you get $1M from the investors who buy those shares and you still each have 400,000 shares, now worth $10 each ($4M worth of stock each).

This is BULLSHIT! I want my beachfront property in Nevada YESTERDAY!! Somebody get me Lex Luthor on the phone!!!

Being 100% positive all the theories are false is the same as being 100% positive they're all true. Without evidence you can't be certain of anything.

I feel like this idea assumes that people are entitled to having access to a job from a large company. On a basic level every job is a privilege, not a right.

So what that means is that any reason is valid except for the protected reasons. This was contrary to what the person I responded to was saying, which is why I phrased it that way. I'm sorry if you found this confusing or contradictory, but it wasn't meant to be.

That’s because GPUs don’t really cache anything, they’re running a program that streams data from one part of VRAM, transforms it, and writes it back to another part of VRAM.

If the OS wants to change what the CPU is doing it just jumps it to another block of code in RAM. Programs can spin up their own threads in real time. With a GPU there’s a whole process that has to be gone through to load or unload shaders, map and allocate VRAM, etc. — it’s much less flexible, and the latency of swapping from one kind of calculation to another is much higher.

You're not going to notice 9 inches over 100 years vs the daily rise and fall of tides.
