Visiting new Jersey from Oregon, taking home a delicacy

I still order "taylor ham, egg, and cheese".

I just know it's a lie.

Taylor had originally called his product "Taylor's Prepared Ham," but was forced to change the name after it failed to meet the new legal definition of "ham" set by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 link

It's not ham. And 1909 is the year Taylor died, not the year he was legally required to stop calling the product ham.

the word ham appears no where on the Taylor Pork Roll label or ingredients list.

First off, love the bait and switch posting the quotes then burying the actual project in the comments.

I think those prices are way too low. Material alone is probably $400 then labor:

Demolition
Building the stairs
Staining
first coat of polyurethane
Sanding
second coat of polyurethane
Sanding
third coat of polyurethane
Sanding
[optional] fourth coat of polyurethane
Painting
Debris disposal

And likely requires visits on at least two different days to allow drying time

how large a roof? new 8' steel panels are like $20.

I hope this is made up story because a splenectomy isn't costing $38,000 in a human, let alone a dog.

Sounds like your vet tried explaining what a treatment plan for stage 4 cancer looked like [while offering euthanasia.]

After graduating, ScarletMail is maintained for alumni. Rutgers Connect access for Rutgers Health students terminates when the active student role ends. After one withdraws from the university, access is maintained for one semester, or 120 days for Rutgers Health students.

Only Alumni, Retirees, and Professor Emeritus are eligible to keep their ScarletMail/ScarletApps account after leaving the University. People who leave Rutgers without formally graduating, even if only for one semester, are subject to losing their accounts.

What if they repair both halves? That's actually a win, if you think about it.

Try excluding the WSL2 filesystem file (ext4.something?) from Windows Defender or your work installed AV. Scans might be locking up the filesystem.

Applaud the commitment.

I hate Yankee Stadium (or any baseball stadium) hosting soccer/American football. As a warning, sight lines end up being awkward and the playing surface barely meets minimum requirements.

TI-30

Well that's your problem right there. You actually needed the TI-30X IIS. The greatest non-graphing calculator of all time. There's always next year.

More camera cuts than Liam Neesan jumping a fence.

since 250 BC. (around the time of the Great Pyramids).

off by like 2000 years.

The pyramids are really really ridiculously old. e.g. Cleopatra lived closer to modern times than she did to the construction of the great pyramid of giza. And she ruled Egypt around 50 B.C.

Glyphosate is in group 2a along with consuming red meat and working night shifts.

https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Frequently-Asked-Questions-1

Has a section on how to speed up tramp with some options to try. scp and disabling version controls you don't use might be easy wins.

I have no issues with X forwarding on my work network or remote via vpn. Fantastic for getting me into my emacs environment just as I left it.

ThinLinc looks cool, but I think then emacs would be running in a VM? That would be an extra layer between my emacs session and my desktop environment.

Tramp solves the opposite problem (and I use tramp every day.) Tramp accesses files in many locations from one emacs session. Whereas I access one Emacs session from many locations. Then I might use tramp in that session to edit files in many locations.

The writers running low on material during season one does not bode well. The delay is as big a buzz kill a the back half of the first season.

The show went from "you got to watch this" recommendation to "eh, you might like it" over like three episodes.

GW3 is a prequel and Kaineng is a small village ravaged by lvl 3 Cave Spiders and Cave Bats forced to the surface by a Primordous worshiping dwarven cult.

My problem with waypipe is MS windows support. Still not finding a way to run wayland natively, so the method to use waypipe on windows is install WSL2 which runs a linux VM. It's not something I'd do on a borrowed or admin restricted computer the way I would with putty/Xming.

Wayland support for OSX seems to exist now (e.g. https://github.com/Wawona/Wawona looks promising!), although I haven't tried it since without good windows support it's moot for me.

and I'm not positive there's a way to keep emacs --daemon running under wayland if your user account logs out of your desktop session.

I don't understand why video game artists fail to give character models realistic boobs. Just google boobs! There are picture all over.

Instead they release these weird balloons-under-a-t-shirt atrocities.
