put a piece of lemon (lime) in the water, instead

Or use Litmus paper to check.

Thanks, Iemon is a good idea and I'll get some litmus paper.

"Vitamin C is susceptible to air and the longer a fruit is frozen, the more vitamin C is lost." - Google

I always thought that when something is frozen, all the atoms stop moving. I don't know why something will get more damaged the longer is it frozen.

I have a smoothie chilling in the fridge made of a whole pineapple, 400ml of coconut cream and dark cane sugar.

Google is not much of a source, particularly when it comes to things like nutrition. Google is a good first-order tool for finding sources (on nutrition, for example), but is not source in and of itself. (On the other hand, Alphabet's Google division might be a good source on aspects of search engine technology, for example.)

I think the source of the quote you mentioned comes from an article on livestrong.com (not Google), https://www.livestrong.com/article/361456-nutrition-loss-in-frozen-foods/. But I do not consider that a good source either since it provides no sources of its own to back up its claim.

Could be worse. It could have bled like $%^\, and it hardly stops if it's the tongue. And as if this wasn't enough, it tastes like licking an I-beam.

Sure. But I haven't figured out why, and your report supports my hypothesis, that once it happened once, it will inevitably happen more than once.

Frequently people choose to to bite their tongue instead of saying something disruptive, like I dunno...

...he introduces it and I just blurt out a " Oh $%^& " ( I thought they would interrupt my work ) and a bunch of people turn to look my way.

Somewhere on the ground of the North Sea between Denmark and England. Hardy lost it there.

My project lost it's sysadmin a few weeks ago. I've had to take over until we can get a replacement (and I train him).
So, this has been my life for the past few weeks...

 

[Posty McPostface]

Can someone provide an answer to a question I have, that seems half baked to me, before I start a thread.

Namely, in the MWI, every possible world is equally real. Yet, this reality seems only seems real to me. I mean, to kind of dumb down the question into a nutshell, 'why haven't I won the lottery yet'?

 

[WWGD]

There people from this company "AE" that read "AE better world". Why leave out a measure-zero non-better world?

I explained the distinction between dev, test and prod to my wife, and then showed her the Leonidas meme. She laughed, then questioned whether the punchline was worth the two minute lecture on IT methodology.

Is this part of the whole " This is Parta" (Sparta?) t-shirt logos I have been seeing?

I've not seen those logos, but I don't see the link beyond both being lines from 300 (edit: both from Leonidas, in fact). I think the movie is just so scenery chewingly over-the-top (mis-)quotable that it gets used for all sorts of things.

A difference between dev, test and prod? So I'm told.

Yeah, sometimes there can be found traces in the mud, but often it's too difficult to observe them in the wild ... because it's ...

In the prod version all the error-checking is removed, so you won't know why it went wrong.

No, only their name is different: they are called change requests instead of error protocol

In production it doesn't go wrong. There are just unintended features.

Seems like ( no joke : http://www.businessinsider.com/isra...referral&utm_source=quora&utm_medium=referral ) Israeli diplomats served Japan's PM dessert inside of a shoe. My question is: how were they all able to fit inside of a shoe?

Ceci n'est pas un bug.

Speaking of features. What can I do when my company installs a version of Windows 10 that locks the screen if there isn't any input for 15 minutes and the settings can't be changed even with admin rights?
This of course.

public static void main(String args...) {
    Robot robot = new Robot();
    Random random = new Random();
    while(true) {
        Point point = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();    // Get the current mouse location
        point.setLocation(point.getX()+random.nextInt(1), point.getY()+random.nextInt(1));    // Move x and y one pixel randomly
        robot.mouseMove(((int)point.getX()), ((int)point.getY());
        Thread.sleep(800000);      // wait 14 minutes and move it again  
    }
}

I don't know why search results never contain actual answer visible without/before clicking. If you, e.g., ask for the translation of Sturgeon to German, all you see are hits with lines like: The word Sturgeon translates into German as ... and you have to click to see the actual answer.
