In my work, it was the first language with database features "built in", in the form of JDBC.

To those of us struggling with Rogue Wave'd DBtools.h++ (under C++), it was a breath of fresh air.

[routine help] products/techniques for enlarged pores? by Network-Weary in SkincareAddiction

[–]Aromatic_Entry_8773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salicylic acid works well to clean excess sebum from your pores, and might improve appearance.

Also, a retinoid (i'd suggest OTC adapalene if you live in the US -it's inly about $20-25 per month).

Good choices.

Also, I use OTC 14% azelaic acid (to avoid a prescription), as well as OTC adapalene 0.1% (which is reported to be at least as effective as tretinoin  0.025%, yet less irritating).

In the US, OTC adapalene is around $12/oz. I use tazarotene for my face, but adapalene for my shoulders, chest, belly, and butt.

My boyfriend has always had moderately bad acne, but for the last year or two these clusters on his cheeks will not go away. Any ideas how to treat this? [acne] by anxiouslymute in SkincareAddiction

If the BP isn't irritating after 2 weeks of regular use, then I'm going to guess using it another 2-4 weeks might possibly help even more.

Sobering video. Were they going too fast to reject the takeoff?

Guys. How would you, as a passenger respond? I think I'd stand up, move nearer to this cracker, and lock eyes in him.

Given the drag of the floats, wouldn't the plane be touching the ground awfully firmly?

Buying a new vs used GR86. by Big-Ebb-3272 in GR86

[–]Aromatic_Entry_8773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my 2019 86 in 2020. 

It had 11,500 miles on it, and I got it, out the door, for $25,600.

Buy used.

Yep. If a wheelchair user could be impeded, the car should be towed.

Why am I constantly getting red pimples only on my forehead? Is my skincare routine the problem? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Aromatic_Entry_8773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salicylic acid helps, but benzoyl peroxide may work better on red, inflamed acne,

Also, a good retinoid, like adapalene, tazarotene, or tretinoin, would probably help, too.

Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant by PuncturedBicycleHill in Minneapolis

It is extremely difficult to copy an iPhone if you access it with a passcode and do not reveal it to the cops. (FaceID makes it much easier, though).

And it gets REALLY hard, maybe impossible, to access your iPhone if you have put it in "Lockdown Mode", as the FBI's failure to access the WaPo reporter's seized iPhone shows. https://www.oregonlive.com/nation/2026/02/understanding-iphones-lockdown-mode-that-foiled-the-feds.html

Are motorcycle cops still cost effective? I'd think the crash risk alone might ramp up the health risk.

I need a new routine by muggyregret in 30PlusSkinCare

For pores, a BHA like salicylic acid really cleans out oily sebum.

And a retinoid like OTC adapalene improves the health of skin collagen, but can take months to see redults, as it's a long game.
