How did you go about searching for an electrician who you trusted? Any particular sources or just calling locally?

I’m looking to get some new cabling placed since I can’t navigate within the walls


Can anyone recommend a good dictionary addon for Firefox?


Simple, recommended by Firefox [0], has light/dark theme [1], more customizable and pretty but not open source [2]. I've not used these extensively.

Anyone know how to find all songs between certain number of streams? Say 10 million and 100million?


Another comment mentioned the CSV data sources


If an employee who earns tips does not make the equivalent of minimum wage pay his or her hours worked, then the employer is required to pay difference (i.e., employees will be paid at least minimum wage for their work)


Not tipping still makes the workers still suffer, though, because with tips, many of many of them make above minimum wage.

Honestly, in the general case, I don't understand how anyone can manage to live on minimum wage, unless they live in a barracks, their mother's basement, or under a bridge.


In the case of on-demand companies, the workers are independent contractors so they're not even entitled to minimum wage.


Anyone else enjoy the PDF-like presentation of the webpage? This design is so clean. I initially thought OP submitted a document.

Does that include the giant video ad at the top? https://imgur.com/a/4QvQO3W


This took incredibly long to load on Chrome mobile


Looks like their page is down.


As far as I can tell, it's only three paragraphs with no actual substance. I wasn't able to get the cached version of it, so here's a dump:

> At 3.12pm on 20th November 2014, Emily Thornberry hit tweet. The Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury, then serving as Shadow Attorney General, posted a photograph of a house in Kent, decked with three flags bearing the St George’s Cross. Her caption? “Image from #Rochester.” At 6.15pm she tweeted again, apologising for “any offence caused by the three flag picture,” adding that “people should fly the England flag with pride!” By 10.30pm she had resigned from the front bench.

> The political autopsy lasted days, focusing largely on the question of whether Thornberry had opened a window on to metropolitan Labour’s cultural alienation from—and perhaps even contempt for—working-class voters in small towns. But looking back, the significance of that episode is not as a snapshot of political turbulence, but as a development in the process that turns turbulence into news. What stands out is the medium, not the message. In autumn 2014, Twitter was already a recreational habit for Britain’s political class. But “Image from #Rochester” marked a watershed moment for the social media website. Without the super-accelerated online frenzy, there was no story.

> Four years later, the Twitterstorm is not only routine, it is the qualifying benchmark for newsworthy controversy. Anyone who doesn’t squander hours every day on the platform might be baffled as to why its name occurs with such frequency in news bulletins. A majority of UK voters still do not have a Twitter account. Yet the site’s impact in Westminster and on the way politics works is real and exceptional, not because of how many people use it, but because of who they are—politicians, their devotees and the journalists supposed to be holding them to account.


Yea looks like the site is dead.


also on chrome desktop. the site is hugged.


In an AirBnb we stayed at in Nashville, the house was built in the last 3 years solely to be purposed as an AirBnb unit (spacious and many social/convenient amenities)


I flew United frequently before 2016 to Africa, Europe, and Asia and all the flights had full size screens in economy and economy plus. The handheld streaming is common for domestic flights.


747s are all streaming.


I'm not huge in the computer business but there are strong takeaways in this first video as far as a C-Level perspectives. Hopefully the future classes will be as helpful.
