I think that celiac disease diagnosis is far more limiting than being vegetarian for social events, based on my experience.

Deosil is the counterpart which means reverse-widdershins or sunwise, mentioned in your link.

I don't know the answer to that question, but Card was an editor for Compute! books for nine months[1](video interview), and in that role wrote a two-part series about computer game development 40 years ago, in issues 38[2] and 39[3] of Compute! magazine.

25 years ago, a friend quickly learned how to answer an online MBTI so that he could consistently score neutral on all four axes. I think that was the most entertaining approach that I've seen.

One candidate to consider is https://www.freshports.org/games/flying/ - "Flying is pool, snooker, carrom, hockey + curling with nice animated spinning balls for pool". I'm not sure about redhat, but it seems to have been present in debian from 1998 through 2010.

Living around Seattle, I disagree, lately there have been articles just about every year about wildfires or drought in Siberia, and many about those fires causing smoky skies in Seattle.

Plants such as ghost pipes (saprophytes) can be found in abundance, along with rhododendrons, along the Elbo Creek trail in the Olympic mountains of Washington state. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/elbo-creek

Adventureland, Pirate Adventure, and Mission Impossible were text adventures by Scott Adams - http://www.msadams.com/ .

I was completely ready for that book to change my life after reading so many glowing testimonials. It did nothing, though I felt worse after reading it a few times, because it was supposed to be so transformative.

I guess the mind-body prescription isn't prescribed for celiac disease or my other health issues, because finding out that I had those conditions was the key, not Dr. Sarno's advice.

"Moral defect"? Please, leave that tired language in the 19th century. I reject your appeal to popularity as well.

I don't like tobacco smoke either, but I think you're judging a lot of people way more harshly than is healthy for public discourse.

You are acting as an apologist for every scent that you personally don't mind. You are the one who digressed away from pollution to odor.

Let go of your hate, please. And please stop conflating odor with pollution, it is not becoming of you.

I couldn't agree more!

Since this comment has gone far afield of the original topic (cigarette butts as litter), I want to see you complain about the inconsiderateness of people wearing perfume and of people that smell of smoke after they sit around campfires.

One crossplatform MMORPG in development, not pay to win, is Project Gorgon.

Your link shows the weighted local sales tax rate at 3%. The state sales tax is 6.5%, reflected under 'Estimated state sales tax collections'.

The state excise tax (pre-sales tax) is 37% according to https://lcb.wa.gov/mj2015/faqs-on-taxes .

For me, having to have a one on one discussion with the chef (not my comfort zone) about whether they can make celiac-safe food isn't the same thing as almost every restaurant having gluten-free items on the menu. BTW, plenty of restaurants seem to list fried foods that are gluten-free but also mention that they share the fryer with items containing gluten. That's not legalese, that's certain contamination.

Most restaurants take the approach that Applebee's takes, which is to disclaim responsibility. Why should someone with celiac disease risk it when milligrams over the course of a day can ruin one's life for potentially weeks?

"Please be aware that during normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas, including common fryer oil, the possibility exists for food items to come in contact with other food products. Due to these circumstances, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens." https://www.applebees.com/Allergen-Info

Where is this at, if you care to share? And do you know if your menu states anything about this? Most restaurants I look into (and won't eat at as a result) say stuff like:

"Gluten Free – Did you know that Chef Heather knows each and every ingredient that goes into her dishes? If you require a gluten free dish, please tell your server, or ask the Chef about it. Gluten Free is Not available for every dish." http://plumtreebistro.net/bistro-menu/

But when I email the restaurant, such as Plum Bistro, I get replies such as, "Hi there we are not a gluten free restaurant. We simply offer gluten-free options it's not advisable to dine with us if you have celiac disease because cross-contamination may occur."

Or another restaurant, after enquiring about their gluten-free options: "Thanks for your inquiry. We don't have specific cross contamination protocols."

I find these, or restaurants that have fine print about shared facilities and not assuming risk of cross-contamination, to be the norm in Seattle.

Why do you think it's a good thing for people with celiac disease that pretty much every restaurant has gluten free options on their menu?

Most restaurants advertising gluten-free items don't have dedicated cookware, utensils, cutting surfaces, grill areas, etc., which greatly raises the risk of cross-contamination.

And a significant percentage of gluten-free products in supermarkets are made in shared facilities that process wheat - why count that as helpful for celiac sufferers?

EDIT: I'd seriously love to be able to psychologically go into the average restaurant or fast food place and buy their gluten-free food without getting sick, so I welcome evidence as to why I'm wrong.

For the states I've been curious about in the United States, each state's Secretary of State usually has a search form for corporations, LLCs, and limited partnerships. examples: California (http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/) and Washington (http://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/).

I wholly agree regarding email hosted in the United States, especially for any emails stored over 180 days on servers you don't own (see Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986).

The summer solstice marks the beginning of summer astronomically just as the winter solstice marks the beginning of astronomical winter.

Midsummer is celebrated on the longest day in some cultures, on the solstice in others, but does not denote the middle of astronomical summer.

Meteorologic summer and winter currently begin weeks before the solstice. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/meteorological-versus-astrono... has a discussion on the difference.

The richest get vastly more benefit from government policies and structures than most of us, so why shouldn't they pay more?

a 'treeddler'

Only if it treeddles! If not, might sapling be a satisfactory existing word? Some dictionaries constrain sapling to 4 inches, which is ~10 cm.

I might be mistaken but I read the parent as saying that each browser on his windows pc is faster than safari on his mbp.

I fail to see why I should believe that it is only an anesthetic (never anasthetic, as you consistenly keep writing) and not a tranquilizer as well when I can find thousands of documents on .gov and .edu sites supporting its use as a tranquilizer. Surely you can come up with veterinary medicine documents that explain why it's not usable as a tranquilizer rather than making unsupported claims - since it's mentioned as a tranquilizer always in veterinary and not human contexts.

Repeating yourself doesn't answer my question as to what makes the statement wrong. The more interesting question to me is why there are so many sources, including many government documents, referring to it as a veterinary tranquilizer going back almost 50 years if it does not have that effect.

I've always heard it called a horse tranquilizer. What makes that assertion wrong?

The NHTSA labels it as a veterinary tranquilizer as well - http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/research/job185drugs/keta...

afaict from checking that site for years, that's only fire department responders, not police.

The term CMS has been used to mean configuration management system for longer than it has been used to mean content management system. One can find articles from 1990 using it in the former context, while the latter appears to have been used since the late 1990s.
