I don’t know if it’s still true, but I believe that MySQL used to ignore anything after a semicolon in a single command. It’s obviously better to prevent SQL injections and used parameterized queries, though.

Sadly, the US system is not the same as imperial. As far as I know the main difference is the gallon.

1 gal. Imp. = 1.201 gal. U.S.

I also hate having lb.f. and lb.m (pounds force and pounds mass), which have different units and at sea level are different by a factor of about 32).

Unrelated to the bookstore, as far as I know. It’s different branding and everything.

I just went to the emergency room today (in Canada). I had slipped on ice and my knee was too painful to walk.

Arrive at 9:00 am. Small town, no charge for parking at the hospital.

Go into the emergency department, no one waiting there. I take a number, it’s #2.

Five minutes later, I’m with the triage nurse. She decides I should have an X-ray before seeing the doctor. That takes 30 minutes.

Wait 15 minutes for the doctor, she stays that nothing is torn or broken, I just have a sprain. Gives me a knee brace and prescription for an anti-inflammatory.

Walk out 90 minutes after I arrived. Total cost: $0.00 (plus $2.85 to fill the prescription).

Similar for SodaStream, which declared that it was an Israeli-Palestinian partnership, providing sorely-needed jobs. It was located in an illegal settlement, and now has moved to Israel proper.

I found Indigo, a Canadian company which makes SodaStream-compatible machines and CO2 bottles, and significantly cheaper too!

The Tyee provides tax receipts for any donations they receive over $5.

As I recall, the intercity trains in Germany are late something like 30% of the time.

I don’t know. I think the Constitution only matters if Trump and mega don’t control all three branches of the government.

After all, weren’t the search and seizure is everywhere. Disregarding habeas corpus. Disobeying court orders to release detainees. Bullying allies and doing his best to undermine NATO.

Now he wants the federal government to have control over National elections, and it seems pretty clear that if the Republicans look like they’re going to lose control of the house or senate, elections will be suspended completely.

Every time Trump crosses a red line, people, Democrats especially, just draw a new red line.

I sent in a donation immediately to The Tyee, because of the power and importance of this article. I’m considering a recurring donation as well.

All too often, we think “what can I do?”. Well, supporting this kind of courageous journalism is a start.

Maybe because, while they are both stimulants, they are chemically extremely different.

We are in the process of severing a half acre lot, and had to pay about $8,000 for an archaeological survey. It also delayed the process by almost a full year (and we have been waiting 5 months – and counting – of that for the ministry to accept the archaeologist’s report).

That was about $3,000 for the archaeologist to do a literature survey of land use for our area, then $5,000 to dig some small holes.

If he had found any remains or artifacts, I’m sure that the cost would have ballooned to something like the original story. There is no way we could have done the severance then.

And all three of the above: sounds like a perfectly reasonable target for deportation (minus the long detention, poor conditions, and cruelty). The problem is that we don’t want him back!

Formal training in health and science would be good, but even more important is to listen to the experts who are world leaders in those things.

This is a load of crap, putting today’s unaffordability issues at the feet of the workers. The real problem is that all profit from improved productivity is going up to the top.

If our productivity did match the G7 average, do you actually think that it would have gone to higher wages and better conditions for workers? Of course not.

There’s also the issue that around once a year the two planets will be on opposite sides of the sun. Not only would you have a lag of close to 3 hours, but communication would be completely impossible for a month or so at a time.

Not only that, but saying that they delivered a joke but never even saying what the joke was about makes this a complete waste of time.

Yes, but the two-and-a-half hour lag each way would be a killer.

You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.

They have SFTP access in beta.

Not to mention that the current royal family was originally named Saxe-Coburg, changing it to a more palatable “Windsor” during the first World war (which was fought against subjects of the German Kaiser, who was a cousin of the British king).

I heard a very interesting argument that if the Royal family can remove Andrew from the line of succession, then the line itself can be manipulated, and anyone else could be added. In that case, what is the point of having a royal family?
