Interesting! FYI, not all Doctors require the constant monitoring, so some people can keep using the same machine longer.

I have been disappointed that Zillow did not add climate risk as a filter. Zillow's announcement is regressive.

Never go to or send children to an unaccredited school.

This is fascinating. I am commenting here to add an accessible article on the subject: https://evonomics.com/tragedy-of-the-commons-elinor-ostrom/ and Wikipedia pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Ostrom.

I had assumed the "Tragedy of the Commons" dated to medieval times, possibly as a school teacher had introduced the idea (and to a child teachers are older than dirt).

In 1833, the English economist William Forster Lloyd published "Two Lectures on the Checks to Population"

Garrett Hardin’s essay “The Tragedy of the Commons,” published in Science magazine in 1968.

Political scientist Elinor Ostrom, who was awarded 2009's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her work on the issue, and others revisited Hardin's work in 1999.

Net-Net it appears that the "Tragedy of the Commons" is yet another method to keep people from even trying to better their world.

theres so many things to do with a pc that i dont know where to start

Pick the first project that you think of and chase it down. If it sucks, then reformat the drive and do something else. Video game systems and file servers are great. So is installing a different OS on each, just to experience the differences side by side.

Do NOT continue "analysis paralysis".

The Presidential Pardon would invalidate the basis for the Epstein Files not being released. (Not that I think Trump would understand that.)

Any statistics for people like this being mugged?

Edit: I don't think I am wrong, but reading more this company has massive leadership issues. I get why they are not sharing the name.

Original: Not to be a dick, and I clearly have not read the rest of the article's author's writing, but these two items go together.

Our brand-awareness shrunk into obscurity.

If you're curious, I'm sorry to disappoint. I haven't name-dropped, nor will I now or in the future.

A useful way to market is to have the engineers post shit online that is true. Is it a huge market driver? Beats me. I know I like my software crafted with care and try to patronize the companies that do it.

Fake cigarettes.

The MAGA followers are out of non-America. The Anti-MAGA leaders are out of non-America, or using a VPN.

Interesting.

The Fediverse needs to implement something like this. We already have a problem, and it is important to stop this before it gets worse.

Weird. Do they think they did something illegal?

Edit: I think they did, but that is just me. A person not breaking the law.

 

The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.

Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?

 

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?
