Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.

Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.

This might be more an aesthetic/sound/genre thing for you, not any one specific band (considering your other examples)

Kongs are basically indestructible from what I’ve seen. We used to have a pittie with separation anxiety and a kong frozen full of peanut butter was good for hours.

Himalayan yak cheese/milk chew things - really durable, moreso than some of the bones we get. Our dog really isn’t into antlers, but my theory is that she likes the yak chews because they have an intrinsic flavor, and do actually wear down and give eventually. The only downside is that she likes to leave them in main walkways on light flooring, so I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die tripping over one, one day.

We also used to get chew rolls made from rawhide-alternative in bulk from Costco. They lasted a while, but we stopped getting them once we found the yak stuff, they get real gross.

Survivorship bias, I think

Frankly, I’d kill for the Dems to pour money and resources into down ballot races.

If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.

I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.

I mean… If you’re gonna self medicate, this is the way to do it

It’s good branding. “China,” as we think of it, fragmented into states that recombinated into different versions of what they each claimed to be the rightful empire, many, many times. It’s like a ship of thesius thought experiment, almost, but sometimes the boat is a pile of wood, sometimes it’s a galleon, other times it’s a fleet of smaller boats.

And sometimes it’s Turkish. (Sorta)
