hot water tanks should be purged yearly (to get rid of the debris collecting on the bottom)

Note that this is only the case if you have been doing this already from when it was new. It isn't necessarily a great idea to try to purge on an older water tank since the valve can start to leak if you open it and it hasn't been used in a long time.

There are still some Taco Bells that sell the Chili Cheese burrito (at least in the Mid-West US)! Unfortunately not as cheap as it used to be (its ~$3 here), but any time I go to a Taco Bell I always ask just in case.

I believe they view the file order as a feature. It forces a certain style/thought process in how you design your project.

It's also part of the ocaml legacy (I believe file order matters in ocaml as well).

Isn't docx technically an open file format? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML

Just guessing, but based on context, I think they meant their daily usage results in 2000kWh per month.

I don't think his point was directly related to people's religious views today, but the type of people who originally came to the US and how their views and norms have impacted the culture up to today.

Unless Michael Schur was sugar coating it, The Good Place wasn't cancelled. They had reached the end of the story they wanted to tell and ended it.

Here's an article about it: https://netflixlife.com/2020/09/28/why-did-the-good-place-en.... I know some other sites report that it was cancelled, but even on the The Good Place Podcast, no one really talked like it was being cancelled versus reaching the end of the story (and not jumping the shark).

Ehh Nevermind. I hadn't made it through all the comments and I see other people are seeing these ads on the Shield.

Nvidia Shield (I think it's considered an AndroidTV). It isn't as cheap as a chromecast and it isn't plain Linux but my wife and I are thinking about getting one for our TV because of the convenience/ease-of-use. You can still cast to it if you need to, but you can get all of the streaming apps you need and I don't think I've seen an ad at all (other than in a streaming app such as Prime).

Space itself is expanding. At small scales, it isn't really that "fast" (gravity can/does overcome the effects within our galaxy and the Local Group). However, at large scales, it can exceed the speed of light (google "Hubble volume") so at some point, light emitted from sources outside this range will not longer reach us because the space between here and there expanded faster than light travels.

| and it seems unlikely that the earth was the exact center of the Big Bang.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that everything was at the exact center of the Big Bang? Assuming it started from a singularity (which can't really be known), everything was in the center.

I don't think that is quite true. I believe with UDP there is no promise of packets being received in order. I think this article is saying that you still get the benefits of processing the packets in the order received, but you don't have to worry about the latency of waiting for the re-transmission of any packets.

The 1st amendment only applies to government control of speech. You may have the right to your speech, but the company doesn't have to employ you [0], especially in an at-will state.

In American English, the correct form is "Company X is" where the company is considered singular. However, in British English, the correct form is/can be "Company X are" where the company is considered plural.

Sometimes what I think will be a quick search turns into multiple tabs so its really easy to pull a tree into a new window and then save it using Session manager.

I've been using Tree Style Tabs[0] with Firefox for a long time. Being able to nest tabs and then collapse them is awesome. It is hard to live without it when using Chrome (I know there is a similar addon for Chrome[1], but it doesn't have the same feel since it just adds a new window off to the side and still has the tabs across the top).

Isn't that the point of advertisements for OTA broadcasts?

The U.K. also has the UK Bribery Act which is appears to be more expansive than the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the U.S. counter-part). Like the FCPA, it applies to acts globally for companies with part of their business within the U.K..

I'm not sure if it was just a CM7 widget or not, but before I got my Galaxy Nexus, there was a widget available to do that. When you place the widget, you put in the address it should go to (one thing I didn't like is I don't remember autocomplete or any contact selection being available for it, so you had to know the address).

When a company buys back shares, it can either cancel them or hold them as treasury stock. Treasury stock can then be reissued at a later date at the then market price.

It's not actually a liability; it's an account with a credit balance. Sales flows into retained earnings which is an equity account, which has a credit balance per the accounting equation of Assets (Debit balances) = Liabilities + Equity (Credit balances).

Fines or penalties paid by a company for violation of a law are not deductible for federal taxes.

Yeah, I remember watching a video in an accounting class about internal controls of a bar in Texas which would weigh bottles every night and dispensed drinks through a soda gun.

Found another example of companies using some audits to keep track of liquor usage. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_43_40/ai_n267...]
