If you’ve heard of me it’s probably because I maintain MSBuild.

A former teammate would always say “package” (while staring at types named *Packet) presumably because of in-the-head double translation. Not sure if that refutes or confirms this hypothesis.
the other fun fact is that davies picked "packet" after talking to a linguist who pointed out it was likely the easiest word to translate directly into several languages
For our first kid we got a baby gate that had a cat door in the bottom. Cat jumped over it, ignoring the door. Baby crawled through the door.
it's so hard to find a pet gate for cats it's like they're all made for dogs! cats can clear pretty much every single gate I find I kinda need it to go all the way to the ceiling you know

3. Local news covered issues like academic outcomes & bond issues more, but if voters wanted to know more about conservative groups’ involvement, it was concentrated in national coverage. National news cannot cover each school district leading up to Election Day, leaving local voters under informed.

punchline's worth it on this one
This reminds me of one of my favorite stories. During a Javelin Thrust in Yuma one year, we brought two Navajo Code Talkers out to talk to the comm Marines about doing the job in WW2, get a brief on modern comm gear, and so we could ensure we still had Marines who could say they shook their hands.

You know I’m a Food Guy, and Paprika is where all my recipes live. It’s a no-nonsense, pragmatic, workhorse kitchen app. If you know what a mise is, this is the recipe app you want.
The single most useful cooking app I use, Paprika, is on its annual sale You give it links and it pulls and formats the recipe for you so you can save it and look at it in the future without ads or long narratives I use it on my phone, so here’s the link apps.apple.com/us/app/papri...
