On my way to work there is a stretch of road about 1.5 miles in length that's 35mph. The traffic lights there are notoriously shore because it intersects with major 5 lane streets. Every single morning there are people who blow past me at 55+ to cut in front...and sit one single car length closer at the red light.

One thing to note, pihole also blocks ads in you're using wifi from your phone. If I'm playing a game or whatever that has "watch this ad for..." half the time I have to switch off wifi or else it'll claim the ad failed and won't give the item.

Boss: What's the status of such-and-such project

Me: It's waiting on you, I sent you the status update 2 weeks ago, you replied to it saying you'll review it by the end of the day. I even sent you a follow-up email on it last week

Control. It's about nothing more than control.

My case was special because I cheated on my husband and didn't want him to find out. But the 14 year old who was raped by her uncle and the pregnancy went ectopic and threatens the life of the underage mother...that should be illegal!!!!

I've said it in other threads, but these "free" anti-virus software packages are there to use scare tactics to get you to upgrade to paid versions and other products. I used avast, and avg in previous PCs and every other day it was popups

"A few bad apples" is also what the police use to handwave away whenever one of their own goes bonkers and kills unarmed civilians

Mostly just 2 hours instrumental playlists off YouTube from places like Epic Music Empire or PandoraJourney. Usually like movie trailer music. It's good for when you need hard heavy background noise to keep you focused but without lyrics so I don't get distracted.

The Dark Universe failed on it's first try (2nd if you count the clearly shoeforned Dracula movie). And what did we learn?

The guy chosen to lead the DU was then given the reigns of the entire Star Trek universe going forward. Talk about failing upward

Microsoft, and all the cybersecurity folks who blindly accept any recommendation from third party firms.

When we need to remote in to our work PCs we have to use our Microsoft account with MFA just to access the remote connections, then use the same credentials to access the pool, then if we want to RDP into our PC we use the same credentials.
