I will give ESRI credit for their online stuff. It's expensive, but it's also pretty great. We're actually thinking about getting an online subscription but no software licenses.

I didn't discover it this uear, but I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.

Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn't budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.

Anyway, I've gotten pretty good with QGIS, and we're sticking with it. It does everything I need it to do, and I can still pull stuff from most REST servers.

If they were shoved in the mailbox without postage it's definitely illegal.

If you have reason to believe someone is in mortal danger, your response shouldn't be to mail a letter giving them 30 days to respond.

You send police to the scene where they secure the potential suspect and make sure there's nothing going on.

I have a mini cargo van as my everyday car that can move quite a bit of cargo, but I also bottom out if I go on a road that's too bumpy.

The family truck has the clearance to go off the pavement.

Interestingly, the most dangerous thing to have around children is a pool.

Drowning is the number 1 cause of death for children ages 1-4 in the US and still asking the leading causes of death all through childhood. Most of those deaths are in pools.

8 percent of houses have pools, whereas 40 percent have guns.

I wouldn't say they bring no value.

But they aren't a uniquely creative team that can't be replaced either.

You do know these aren't game developers that quit, right? They're a publisher.

Imagine that you're standing on a train and have a baseball. If you throw the ball off the train, the ball will still have momentum in the direction of the train's movement.

If you want to throw the ball to a friend the train just passed, you have to be able to throw the ball faster than the train is moving or it will never reach them.

Watch Bernie if you want to see Black do a different take. His character is quirky, but there's a lot of depth to him as well.

She used to be a Country Music darling, and a lot of right-wing Country people still feel like they own her like back when they had her as an underage sex symbol.

6.25% would compund to 27.4% over 4 years.
