I agreed right off the bat, they definitely reached scale like few others, but maybe it might have been the way they grew without stopping more so than today's well-known scaling process that got them there.

Doubtless they got in position early to take advantage of many potential upswings.

I know what you mean, nobody in North America understands vive la différence outside of French Canadians and Louisiana Cajuns.

And some of them only at their own convenience.

I wouldn't let it bother me, son of a gun I'm gonna have big fun on the bayou :)

edit: not my downvote btw

When they agreed in Nashville to rename the airport after Dolly Parton, all of the people commenting on the TV clip said it was well-deserved.

Some were more emotional than others, but one of the proponents was very touched, she admired Parton so much because Dolly set an example of how to be as successful as a person can be, and not keep a billion for yourself.

I can't find the clip now, but it was from the heart.

What about 8-bit and 16-bit?

8-bit: There is no IEEE 754 standard format.

16-bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating-point_...

Now that you mention it, I did go to school in the US for years at a military base that was abandoned after the Cuban missile crisis had died down.

We still continued to have Civil Defense drills in case of nuclear attack.

I used to wash my car once a year, then I just ran out of time ;)

"Misaligned" with honest people must be considered a feature not a bug or it wouldn't be able to go that far "out of alignment."

Hey it's an even playing field :)

How about pole vaulting over an electrified barrier?

Can't say I didn't see this coming . . .
