My tax dollars at waste.

If they end early it is because they ran out of supplies, and if they run it longer it is because they have too much. No one is trying to be a dick, or be nice. It is just inventory.

Good Omens showed how well his work can translate to the screen. Just focusing on Ankh Morpork and Vimes could be a great series.

Public safety should be the government’s responsibility. Why are they expecting a private foreign organization to do their job? And to be penalized for doing it?

This was such an obvious result of their passing C-18 that their complaints just amplify their ignorance and lack of foresight passing bills to appease local media lobbyists.

They are doing you a favor. I bought my kid a Dell laptop (xps13) for college and 6 months later the battery life dropped from 12 hours to 2 and Dell support said it was normal and refused to do anything about it. That was after the original order which was supposed to take 6 weeks for delivery (bad enough) actually took 14 weeks. It arrived two days before they left for school. Worst experience ever.

The replacement MacBook Air was delivered to their dorm the next day and has been flawless since (over a year now). It actually cost less too.

You are paying to use Google, with all your data feeding their advertising machine.

What makes you say that? Texas is narrowly red, and the rural vote is aging out, while the urban vote is growing. This has been pulling to the left and relatively quickly. If everyone they oppress packs up and leaves then the right wins.

The red vs blue ratio is really close in Texas. If all the liberals leave then the state is lost to the rural conservatives. I’d rather stay and fight for a better future.

I’m actively looking for opportunities to use AI to replace the work I do, and not finding many effective ones so far. Sure it can write some crappy code for me, but writing code comes after the hard part, which is identifying the problem and how it could be solved with tech. Novel problems need novel solutions and an LLM can’t generate those.

It’s something they “broke” recently. You used to require a physical card to pair a new phone key. I noticed when I replaced my phone that it was no longer needed. They should be able to fix it easily, but I’m sure they won’t.

You can enable pin to drive to reduce the risk, but if you have the creds and there is no 2FA on the account then you can use the app to bypass it.

They have logs of him using the school’s network to visit ai audio generators, so that case will probably stick…

I don’t really eat it anymore, but Alpha-bits was the best cereal in Canada.

My Dreamcast… I had almost every game downloaded and there was so much choice I never committed to anything and got bored. It taught me a lesson about piracy and the value of attention.

HR is there to protect the company, not help you.

Which is why they are experimenting with destroying the Houston ISD. Forcing parents to choose between sending their children to prison factories or supporting vouchers to try and get something like an education.

I think this is it. Within weeks I had downloaded every game from usenet and the only money Sega made from me was buying samba de amigo to get the maraca controllers.

It was a mistake too - so many games to play that I never committed to anything and got bored and stopped playing anything.

Soundbooth Theater does “audio immersion” versions of some books and they are amazing. It is genre fiction, but if it they are your genres then you should check them out! (Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc)

The hitchhikers’ radio series on cassette started my love of audiobooks. I listened to it dozens of times as a teen. Went to sleep listening to it.

You can get two more for $10 from teslas site… but I believe you need one to program them. My wife and I keep ours in our wallets, just in case phone keys don’t work or get stolen.

It’s the New Jim Crow.

There are lots of docker deployment examples, and no reason it shouldn’t run in docker on windows. It supports Ubuntu containers. https://docs.docker.com/desktop/wsl/

Same. Helping to trickle down, unlike actual rich people.

Solidarity! The union makes us strong.

I went with bookstack. Simple to use and does exactly what OP is asking. Tailscale to connect so it isn’t public at all. Works great for me.
