Looks like Amazon Prime, along with MGM, are producing a series based on Ringworld, as well as Snowcrash. https://variety.com/2017/tv/news/amazon-studios-lazarus-snow...

I've used these in the past with 2 24" monitors (in portrait mode) on the sides of a 38" ultrawide. https://www.humancentric.com/collections/lighting-accessorie...

I'm currently looking into homesteading on acreage and your site is extremely valuable in that search. Thank you!

Yes, those were infuriating. Those can easily be disabled, though, via this method: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/turn-off-ads-notifications-exp...

I don't believe the parent poster was saying the govt was to blame. I have no problems holding them accountable, but the local govt can only do so much in a scenario such as this. They are limited by resources available. Self-responsibility is not anti-government, it is the appropriate adult response. Some situations are out of your control, but that doesn't mean you can't safely care for you and yours along with making sure your neighbors are helped at the same time.

Gov. Abbott contradicted local officials with his off-the-cuff suggestion people in Houston should flee. Metro Houston is 6.5M+ people. Where would they evac to? San Antonio and Austin were already swamped with people from Victoria, Corpus Christi and further south evacuating there under mandatory evac notifications. I45 to Dallas in no feasible way could handle 6.5M people fleeing. I was here when hurricane Rita came through and everyone evac'd. More people died on highways evacuating days before the hurricane made landfall than those died because of the hurricane.

Majority of people in metro Houston have power and while the flooding is catastrophic (exceeding 500 and 1000yr flood levels), the fatalities have been less than a handful (at the moment). Houstonians and Texans are coming to each other's aid, helping with rescues, etc. Even the Cajun Navy is coming in to help.

Edited: I completely agree with your sentiment about not waiting for the govt. Resources are already strained and even if they were willing, many roads/highways are completely impassable at the moment.

Why was the party designation omitted from Manchin? Had he been a Republican, I'm fairly certain it would have been included.

Reminds me of a smoother Zaxxon. Great job!

I'm very interested in the UpDesk (http://updesk.com). They have a motorized desk (PowerUp) and a manual desk (CrankUp) that are both lacking the middle crossbar and are very affordable. They also can handle up to 300lbs. I'm hoping to get one next month.

I'm a huge fan of Zite and use it every single day as my morning paper, lunch reading and late evening reading. I've tried Flipboard in the past but it didn't hold a candle to my needs like Zite did/does. I'm hoping that this doesn't spell the end of the Zite experience.

I've remapped the caps lock key using AutoHotKey (Windows ) to act as Close Document (Close MDI child window) by double-tapping it. It retains its existing functionality by requiring you to hold Shift before using it.

But the ability to quickly close a document in Visual Studio or a browser tab by simply double tapping caps lock instead of stretching for Ctrl-F4 is invaluable.

I think this book is a wonderful idea and the illustrations are great. Even if some of the topic explanations are a little more advanced, if nothing else, they should spark further conversations with the child. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is exactly what sparked the idea to write the book in the first place! Great idea...just purchased. :)
