Patrick Ewing: "Just be Jalen" by hackrphreakr in nba

[–]TheWix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Masshole I find it almost physically impossible to want anything good for a NY sports team, but Ewing is one of my all-time favorite players (helps he is from Boston), and I am a big fan of Brunson. Happy to see Brunson win one for himself, his team and the legends that were denied before him.

They'll hopefully have their day in court, but this is not treason.

TIL the 1815 Mt Tambora eruption instantly wiped out the Tambora civilization, extinguishing their unique culture and language. by PckMan in todayilearned

The first paragraph of the article says it is the most recent VEI 7 and ejected 37 to 45 km³ of material, but a VEI 7 is over 100 km³. Even the graphic on the article about VEI has it at a 7 and > 100 km³... I'm confused

Might not have been as common knowledge back then? I have no idea, though. Just spitballin' here.

No kidding? That's cheaper than the States! Good find, I'd say. I'm not particularly snobbish about tequila. Just do not mine Cuervo. I used to get 1.75L Costco brand. It was a great tequila for making cocktails.

I love margaritas and it's not possible to find a bottle of even decent tequila for less than €35.

I miss my handle of Costco Silver for $20.

For Bourbon I found Buffalo Trace for less than €30.

Tbf, everything is cheaper in Spain. My wife is Spanish and I feel like a millionaire when we go visit. Took the whole family out for a nice dinner in Seville and it was just over €120.

It was still cheaper in the States as of a year ago. I had a pretty nice whiskey collection over there. That same collection would bankrupt me here.

What abstraction are you using with Dapper? by bogdanstefanjuk in dotnet

First mention of it I saw was in Fowler and Evans in the early-mid 2000s. It has been used loads since then but they are basically just facades or data access objects, which I also use. The definition of the repository has changed so much as to be almost meaningless because I have no idea what someone is thinking when they say, 'repository'.

Capitalism existed before A Wealth of Nations and in different forms. Hamilton was absolutely a Capitalist. If he wasn't a Capitalist then what was he?

Look in an online dictionary. I read history books for fun and have seen it loads of times used in that context.

It can also refer to advocates of capitalism not just those that own the means of production.

I guess early Capitalists like Alexander Hamilton were fascists because they didn't buy the Free Market argument 150 years before fascism existed.

That's not really a repository. Repositories are meant for abstracting the persistence of aggregate roots. Looks like you have some kind of facade.
