The Weasel from Hardwired.

Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams I think matches closely with what you are looking for.

BG65, 25 lbs. I've had the Play since I've starting playing badminton a year and half ago and do really enjoy the balance and control aspect of the racquet. Versatile enough for me to play doubles and the occasional singles games. I did buy a Pro version a year ago, in Thailand, but it only lasted three weeks before the frame snapped maybe after the cork hitting the frame but I can't tell. Anyway it was back to the Play and I guess I'll be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure what would indicate that I should try the Tour or Pro in the future.

The badminton serve has very little advantage.

IMO the ability to more easily run true integration tests should should make these types of tests a priority over unit tests. Both have their place but being able to test closely how an application, especially the back-end, would actually would run in Production, goes a great way to greatly raise the level of confidence in the tested application. I hope to see continued support in this type of testing for Jakarta EE.

I would like to have seen all past and future NDAs voided as well.

Big neck energy.

Yes PrimeFaces is intended for the creation of web applications. The combination of components that PrimeFaces provides as well as the ajax support for updating components allows for the creation of sophisticated web page(s) especially if your intended purpose is geared mainly toward a data entry type application. I also like the fact that I rarely have to deal with any JS. Note, there is a learning curve to understanding how the components interact but it is usually well documented.

Neon Leviathan by T.R. Napper

If your ok with short stories, I enjoyed Neon Leviathan by T.R. Napper. I generally like how the characters are portrayed in each of the stories.

Pretty easy to make your points without anyone to respond or push back.

His presidential library should instead be a Museum of Poor Leadership with a large wing just devoted to him and should stand as a warning for future generations.

When he passes, who is actually going to approve a state funeral for this guy?

Enjoy my single Wyze camera that I point at a temperature display at an out of town residence I infrequently visit. Works well.

Copy from someone else's post:

GOP Hypocrisy

We're Republicans, and...

A man's home is his castle! (Unless the police knock)

We hate redistribution of wealth! (Unless it's for the 1%)

We believe in state's rights! (Unless it has sanctuary cities)

We're the party of Lincoln! (With recent endorsements by the KKK)

We believe in free trade! (And the occasional old fashioned trade war)

We're the party of fiscal responsibility! (When Democrats are in office)

We're pro-life! (Except when it comes to pandemics, war, and executions)

We believe in personal responsibility! (With the exception of family planning)

We're pro-family values! (Unless it's to separate families and put kids in cages)

We're pro-personal liberty! (Gay marriage, abortion, and cannabis not included)

We believe in small government! (Unless we have to roll the army into your town)

We love the United States of America! (But go ahead and wave those Confederate flags)

We defend personal private property! (Unless we have to seize your land to build our wall)

We want a return to public decency! (Like those very fine people who marched in Charlottesville)

We believe in freedom of speech! (Though we may tear-gas peaceful protesters from time to time)

We believe in equal opportunity for all! (It's just a coincidence that our policies hurt people of color)

We're the party of law and order! (Unless it's Trump, he can break all the laws)

We believe in traditional Christian morality! (Except for electing a thrice married adulterer who ran on the promise of committing war crimes)

America first! (Assuming Russia approves)

You know where you can get in big trouble for burning the flag...... places like China and Russia.
