It's worth noting that the current outbreak that's occurring north of Panama started prior to DOGE doing its bullshit. Apparently it began in 2022.

At least in my case, my DOC IS 3.0 modem was having connectivity issues. My neighbor in another apartment had similar issues: dropped connections, slower than expected speeds, etc. Switching to DOCSIS 3.0 modems solved the problem. I guess Comcast upgraded their hardware and it wasn't compatible with my modem anymore

I had a phone with a back cover that popped off without screws. It was the stupidest fucking design.

Drop your phone? Phone explodes and battery falls out.

Put your phone in your tight pants pocket wrong? Back cover comes off.

Toolless designs are great for things you access frequently. The only time I had to open the back of that phone was to put a sim card in it. Phones should be more repairable, but I want them to be held together with screws so they don't fall apart during the 99.9999% of the time they're not being opened.

Fatigue is real and it sneaks up on you. Don't be afraid to pull off the road and close your eyes for 20 minutes. You don't even have to sleep, just resting for a few minutes is super helpful.

Similarly, use your car's automatic features when possible if they reduce fatigue. In your case, that probably means using cruise control. I've found that if I don't have to actively manage my speed, I get less tired.

Assuming you're in a tight hand drive country: Keep right except to pass!

The media is labelling it an assassination. CNN had it in a headline without quotes. So does NYT. So do most other articles that come up when I look up the shooting. Good grief, get off your "media sucks" bandwagon and look around.

Certainly!

I've never used this one, but it could also work for you.

There's PairDrop. It might have what you need. It's for transferring files rather than uploading and then downloading later. You could get creative with authentication. Maybe put files in an encrypted archive file.

Companies pay money to law firms to fight for them. If their law firm rolls over and just accepts something blatantly illegal without putting up a fight, why on earth would any company continue to retain them? If the law firm won't fight for itself, why would it fight for someone else?

It's not a conspiracy, it's a sensible business decision.

Having a three day weekend every week is so nice. I don't think I could ever go back to 5/8 schedule. That's despite the fact that I still work 40 hour weeks. It kinda sucks to work 10 hours per day (and I'd much rather do 8), but it's worth it to have an entire extra day.

"For some of us the suffering of millions and the early deaths of tens of thousands is a feature not a bug"

Bold of you to assume they'd even teach STEM.
