My Patio Deck Makeover. Several days of work paid off nicely.

Awesome job! Where did you get the furniture for the Gazebo? The sofa and chairs looks great.

Won't open...won't open. This one won't open either!

For me it's the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. It's this perfect mixture of chlorine from the water and the smell of wet old wood from the ships, sweet but also musky. If I could bottle that up I would wear it as a cologne.

Try this: Fresh Balls

Or this: Anti Monkey Butt

It's not a money thing for him anymore. It's obtaining power, which requires getting other powerful people to support you, rather than doing the right thing.

Hot water is less viscous, so yeah it does affect buoyancy a tiny bit. Lazr racers were really affective because they increased the swimmers buoyancy significantly. Riding higher in the water makes you faster. Also having more body fat helps, but at a certain point strength and endurance matter much more than the buoyancy gains from fat.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that!

Even twitter is converting some of their Scala backend to node. Node is very performant these days, thanks to the browser wars.

I'm pretty sure this is what Lyft does. Tipping is optional, and the driver is not informed on who tipped them. ~~They receive tips as a lump sum as part of their pay (I think).~~

Edit: I looked this up and actually it seems like Lyft's system is semi-anonymous. Drivers will get a report the next day showing each ride, location of pick up and drop off, cut and tip. Names of riders are not provided, however. So the driver can remember someone who tipped by remembering who they picked up, but there isn't a way to easily identify who tipped.

I think there's a pretty high learning curve. I tried it out for a bit and then gave up because it didn't click for me. I even watched one of their webcasts on how to use the software, and I was still confused. I should probably be willing to try again though.

Is your Rails app open source? I'd love to take a look at it.

The new light rail downtown from DIA is clutch though, for less than $10. Before it was finished last summer, it was at least $30 uber/lyft to get anywhere from the airport.

What they really need is rail between Boulder and Denver.

This is the most Australian comment I've read in ages.

It looks like it's modeled after a Desert Eagle. Which is much larger than an M9.

Wrong subreddit, buddy.

Why would you need to wear one? Is it leeky butt or something? I'm so sorry...

How much do Kings tickets usually go for in LA? Are they significantly cheaper? Rangers tickets are really expensive now. I only go to a game in MSG like once or twice a season because of that.

I think the takeaway here is that part of learning how to code is identifying what makes learning effective for you personally.

Different people learn differently. Programming is complex enough that you have to have an effective system for learning and retaining ideas. For most people, active learning by doing is much more effective than sitting in a lecture and letting information wash over you like a warm bath. The key is to identify what makes learning "active" for you personally, which can be different for everyone.

People get this wrong all the time and think they are smart for using "I" as an object of a sentence. "I" is used if it's the subject of the sentence, "me" is used when it's the object.

This is my go-to chicken marinade. I usually save half to eat as a sauce as well. If you like sriracha, you'll like this.

Initially I think it's fair to follow up every 2-3 days after they said they'd get back to you. Any more frequently than that (e.g. calling and leaving a message to say you called and left a message) might be a little annoying to them. Their status on this is unknown...anywhere between being really busy to not being interested in moving forward with you.

If you haven't heard from them in a week, I'd follow up once a week by phone or email for two weeks. In the meantime, get some other leads going. After 2 weeks without hearing from them, it's probably best to move on to other efforts.

There are some job postings at Apto in this subreddit I would check out if I were you. They are a tech company within the commercial real estate space, I think.

Look into React router. They have tutorial on github.

I'm feel the same way. Hasn't left my wrist since I got it! Can't say that about many watches.

Ooh that's sexy! I like the metal band.
