But I love to write regularly. So, let’s try something new and also stick to the advice of Jeff — please publish and share more. His post also includes two further tips to …

Flemish, Wallonian, German and Czech: these are the origins of the beer styles tackled in today's set, from Czech brewery Zichovec, in collaboration with Swedish, English, Dutch and French brewers, all as part of their Winter Affair Gossip series. That's from last winter -- I bought them several months ago for a knockdown price from the Craft Central bargain bucket.I would like to think that pilsner is exempt from craft-style …

Hi Darling Ones, How are you? I have not been well, hence the extended silence. The triple-whammy of Trump’s victory + my recovery plateau + the dying of the light (erm, time change) has left me. . . sad? grouchy? angry? nihilistic? empty? I can’t finish that sentence and thus I haven’t written in more than a fortnight. Where do I even being to deal with everything? How do you …

So what you see above is some of my well-gotten gains from the week, retrieved from a good-sized plastic storage box similar to this: That jumble of comics you see above (Uncanny X-Men #281, the wraparound cover version of the 1991 X-Men #1, and the second printing of the foil-embossed Silver Surfer #50 weren’t the only books inside…there were multiple copies of Infinity Gauntlet (every issue represented, but only single …

However, a significant percentage of researchers are engaged in questionable practices or producing work lacking integrity. For example, Bik and colleagues have estimated ~2% of the biomedical literature is affected by image manipulation problems.

I finished the game with 6 points by making two three-point shots, though I could have …

While the functionality described is not the intended use of the application, it is known behavior and does not constitue a vulnerability disclosure process. My main motivation for reaching out to them was …

November Cruise Although the numbers used in the introductory example are fine, I’m unhappy with it and seek a replacement–ideally with the same or similar numbers. It is assumed that there is a concern both with inferring larger, as well as smaller, discrepancies than warranted. Actions taken if too high a temperature is inferred would be deleterious. But, given the presentation, the more “serious” error would be failing to report …
