As in "discontinuing" (not discounting)


You are correct.


Would be nice if links opened a new tab. Good job.


Thanks! I think it's a better practice to not open links in a new tab i.e users should have control over their experience. But it can be subjective.


Think about it this way: Will the user "lose their place" on your page if they click a link and go back? Will the user lose any filtering or search options? If the answer is yes to either, open in a new tab. I personally make this determination all the time, especially on social media after I've scrolled a lot and don't want my "progress" to be lost.


That makes sense to me, thank you. I have changed links to open in a new tab.


Opening in a new tab has become some kind of standard UX. Regardless of that, for this kind of site it would be very useful for product spec comparison.


I’m a Ctrl-click kinda guy for these scenarios.


I think not forcing links to open in a new tab is the right call.

However, the point about losing one's place is a valid one, and I agree with the other commenter that said it would be good to encode the state in the URL to solve that.


Always open in new tab. Ill keep track of the 437 I have open in 7 different FF windows, and the couple Edge tabs to hide cookies ThankYouVeryMuch

EDIT: Yes ctrl-click is too much effort. Middle-click even.

(Many forget a middle click on a mouse-wheel is also a ctrl-click/new-tab button, and the thumb button MOUSE4 is back)


An example for economic "region" would be the northwest county of Indiana which is the same time zone as Chicago, one state over in Illinois, while Indiana is otherwise one hour ahead.


Didn't Indiana transition to be all in the same time zone recently?


> The newer terms are more inclusive.

To me it seems to exclude the only person referenced in the original form.


You’re right. It’s the nature of things, being inclusive often means excluding an other.

On the other hand I’m glad we’ve all converted on one common reference for dates and don’t have one for each sphere of influence, cuz then something published in China vs Japan vs Taiwan vs Europe and the Americas vs Egypt vs… who knows what would be messy.

At least most places that use other calendars also keep track of the Western year in parallel.

My Thai wife was born 543 years after me, even though we were born in the same year. ("Hi, this is my wife, from the future!") Our wedding certificate contains only the Thai year. As I remember, for official purposes, Japan counts years of the current emperor's reign, along with an official name for each reign.


This suggests the range is much tighter than double, while also showing hospitality as the industry with the highest rate of unemployment. As of Sep 7.

0.6% of 380 is 2.28 people.

So new method is 10x better.


Thank you, i assume the fractions of people come from rounding off sig figs in the % figure and the true values are 2 people vs 23 people


> life would recover completely

Interesting to consider this scenario since no creatures left could consider such a historically relatively new theory of origins.


I think "consumer" is being contrasted with a business contract offering static ip.

You should know because it is currently blocked - found by using mxtoolbox.com for example.

Or, suspect it will be because the ip to your residence is not a designated static ip. (In practice it may be ipv6 and never changes but applying a PTR to the ip requires assistance from the ISP and it would likely be outside of the contract.)


After reading the article I wanted to know what is gained by shaking a bullet in front of the actor (this was not done but someone is quoted as saying it's standard practice)?

I found this which shows comparisons of bullets and blanks. There is a mention in one of the posts of BBs being installed to give a rattle. It says blanks are not to be used at close range and not to be pointed at anyone. A cold gun is supposed to be an unloaded gun and not a gun with a blank?

https://www.quora.com/When-talking-about-bullets-or-rounds-w...

But what stands out is how blanks and shotshell look the same.

If the accident on the set used a bullet, that should have been visibly noticeable. The call was that it was a cold gun, but the article doesn't give an example of what was used. Anyone have info on that?


It was supposed to have been loaded with dummies, not blanks.


I think the reference is to the daughter's name, not the product. Previous discussion regarding name:

Ah. I thought the OP was saying "Americans pronounce it 'me' and that is wrong".

They were saying "Americans pronounce it 'my' and that is wrong".

Got it.


It's neither. I'm saying you're too dumb to understand that your language doesn't cover every other language.
