Q: What to call pure JavaScript standalone (web)apps for which I've not written any server side code?

hippietrailI've been writing a few tools as standalone webapps for which I have written no server side code and it strikes me that I'm not sure what people call such things. I like them because they can be distributed as a single file that anybody with a web browser can run. Typically all the funky stuff i...

Q: Maximum stay in US for ex-pats

BenMy girlfriend a United States national living and working in China and she wants to come back to the US for the summer. What's the maximum amount of time she can come back for before she has to worry about taxes. Are there any other issues she needs to watch out for.

A: Can I eat a beef burger in India?

hippietrailI never had any trouble finding beef or meat generally in India, though I never looked for a hamburger. The trick is merely to find the places where the non-Hindu population eats. Just about everywhere in the country has a muslim minority, except the parts which have a muslim majority (-: One w...

shouldn't we merge the and tags? liechtenstein isn't really a country anyway, it's just a principality
omg
hippietrail
you want to provoke a flameware between you and me?
maybe some of you are interested in the great outdoors since it is very close to travel
the commitment phase is almost done
10:28
it's the only way i can get you excited about flamewars d-;
i think i can save the us tax question...
oh it's gone!
dammit i thought i had a great photo of queueing for muslim meat snacks in the street in mumbai but i can't find it

12:35
you even misspelled liechtenstein
don't make such a big deal out of it :)
yeah we should change the spelling too
12:50
yes to lichtenstein
like most people do
just recently
i was in amsterdam
in a quicksilver store
maybe the literal english translation would make more sense
then i told the store owner that there is no quicksilver store in liechtenstein
and then he asked.. not even in the capital luxembourg city?
then i told him. no it is not luxembourg it is liechtenstein
then he asked.. why don't you go to france?
then again i told him. it is liechtenstein not luxembourg
stupid man
liecht ist not licking
but light
but on the other hand i met a girl from kanada which exactly knew what liechtenstein is
the piano question is hot!
give it some love
kannada is a language in india. why are stone lickers from luxembourg so ignorant?
14:03
i don't know
they don't learn it in school maybe
ah this stupid students
i can't see the multiple choices anymore
 
2 hours later…
15:43
@hippietrail A Kannada speaker would be a Kannadiga
 
1 hour later…
17:00
i used to know the kannada alphabet but i forgot it
I'm impressed! It isn't the easiest script to learn among ones used by Indian languages.
17:58
i knew it and telugu and wrote little javascript programs to help me type them from transliterations
18:21
i try to learn the writing system and some of the language wherever i travel but india presents a lot of challenges and i only had a month
 
5 hours later…
23:06
hmm i thought we have a question about the hippy trail
but i can't find it
Am I mistaken? I would have one
