"moist"

Just fans of "Dead Like Me" trying for a third season.

The senate also used it as a distraction to vote down investigating or releasing anything Epstein related.

I was not either. But a few of us survived. Better to be old with some cash, then old with none.

As mortgage rates are often above 7%, then also be cautious. One should not delay retirement savings for a 30 year mortgage payoff.

General advice:

  • Get off Facebook.
  • Learn what "tit for tat" is.
  • Don't talk with the police.

Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

Ah, but I bet those monkeys produce more text than Shakespeare! At least within the last 6 months!

spoilerThe joke is that Shakespeare is dead and no longer producing text.

Seems a better prompt could solve that.

One's dishwasher is not exposed to a harsh environment. A large percentage of code is exposed to an openly hostile environment.

If a dishwasher breaks, it can destroy a floor, a room, maybe the rooms below. If code breaks it can lead to the computer, then network, being compromised. Followed by escalating attacks that can bankrupt a business and lead to financial ruin. (This is possibly extreme, but cyber attacks have destroyed businesses. The downside risks of terrible code can be huge.)

The roofs were hot. I expect ground level in the shade of the house would be better for efficiency.

Perhaps it had something to do with the location of the indoor unit? I am used to them in the basement or first floor, but some places put them in the ceiling.

I was thinking "gurgle gurgle" as filled with liquid... I don't know what distinct sound the Vaults in Fallout make.

 

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?

I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

 

Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)

Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?

I declare email bankruptcy daily....

Send whiskey.

Edit: I was unclear.

I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)

I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.

 

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"

 

There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.

What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?

 

On Tuesday, Jan. 2, a federal appeals court declined to rehear the case of Berkeley’s ban on new natural gas hookups, which was struck down by a panel of judges in April 2023.

 

There are a lot of news articles about "back to the office", but they recirculate the same bad ideas. Let's provide some new ideas for the media to circulate. It may also have the effect of making the office less terrible.

I would like my work computer to do Windows updates lightning quick in the office. It currently takes weeks, in or out of the office. Stopping in for a day makes no difference, so there is no point. Now, if there was a point, I would go in.

What would get you in the office?
