Why Drew gave Oblivion a 6/10 and then made his own TV channel NOT CLICKBAIT

Why are US sitcomes better than UK ones? Why did Drew give The Elders Scrolls IV: Oblivion only a 6 out of 10?

Flock's CEO just told local media its license plate readers don't take video. This came after the LAPD cancelled its contract

Except, Flock announced a new feature that can turn "all" Flock cameras into live video cameras. Flock has now deleted the announcement https://www.404media.co/flocks-ceo-says-its-alprs-dont-do-video-after-repeatedly-announcing-they-can/

Beefy meaty peptide, also known as delicious peptide[1] and abbreviated as BMP,[2] is an 8-amino acid long peptide that has been identified as giving a beefy flavour to foods in which it is present. It was isolated from beef soup by Yamasaki and Maekawa in 1978.

i don't think chemistry is real

prototyping out a 6m amateur band quad loop antenna spreader system, made out of PVC parts. I will glue it up tomorrow.

the screw-together arms mean (a) it breaks down to manageable sized pieces for transport in an automobile trunk to a field site, and (b) I can extend the arms by screwing in more sections & thus try to use the same spreader-center piece for building antennas for other bands.

we shall see

I have said this is a good idea. Recommendation algorithms are editorializing.

when will the democrats finally learn that publicly arguing about which members of their coalition they are willing to feed into a wood chipper in order to not be “too far left” on “culture war issues” is a losing strategy that makes them look like useless Quislings to their allies *and* to their enemies

I’m gonna need everyone in security to internalize this.

Hell, my local country fair (y’know, the place where you can submit your veggies to go on display and get judged and get ribbons and shit) is requiring online registration.

Guess how many people that’s locking out? How many of the people whose submissions are what keep the exhibitions going don’t have emails or cell phones?

If your solution doesn’t work for my friend who can only be reached via landline phone or mail, it doesn’t work.

I am looking for a work in IT, preferably as a software engineer (pref python/c++)/data scientist/data engineer/data analyst, but I can learn a lot of things on the fly and I'm not picky.
I have a bachelor's degree in compsci from uni of warsaw, two internships at google and two jobs (<1yr each) with data and ML. I can provide CV if you're interested.
