I don’t think there are many tv show seasons finales as jaw dropping as the end of season 2 of Agents of Shield. And that shocking bit was literally just a 5 seconds scene.

Even with weather news I’d enjoy some editorial oversight, #bbc: β€œIt has warned that the storm will bring an estimated 2-3 inches (5-7cm) could fall per hour during the storm, β€œ

To be more specific: this only happens to me when editing scripts. When I edit UI elements via yaml, deleting everything is not an issue apparently. All interactions in this case via ipadOS app.

HiPOD: Icy Cliffs on Mars

This area, on the western edge of Milankovic Crater on Mars, has a thick deposit of sediment that covers a layer rich in ice. The ice is not obvious unless you look in color.

I’m not sure what to call when in iPad app tapping on one of choices activated a choice 2 or 3 entries away but then despite the UX indication of tapping nothing happens and I was still seeing the empty editor. Restart of app helped !

Military tech question: why would I want a multi layer system like IRIS2 that combines remote sensing with communication? Not only does this create single point of failures, usually a washing/dryer combo has worse quality than specialized devices, if you catch my drift?

sich schon ein bisschen vergackeiert. War die große Ankündigung der Preissenkung nur Fake um neue Kunden zu fangen? Oder was ist da passiert?

@quarto.org docs are the most powerful doc (even everything) writing tools on the market right now IMHO, but to **REALLY** gain traction we urgently need a tool (online or offline) to do a good review cycle for documents, that comes close to the word review features. This is the one thing missing.
