Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)

Whoa Whoa.

The story of Noah's Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.

When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That's right, Noah!

Houses are going to have to be built much more defensively. At this point anyone could have gas poured on their home and lit up, or have fake police knock and shoot.

What? Are you suggesting a "fascist tyranny" is better than other kinds of tyranny?

Invading Canada would be a quagmire and a terrible idea.

  • Canadians look just like US Americans.
  • Canada is huge and outside of a few cities is mostly empty.
  • Lots of families are spread across both sides of the boarder. Bombing Canadian cities would cause a rebellion within the USA.
  • The boarder is huge and nearly impossible to secure. Canadian rebels could easily slip into the USA to carry about bombings.
  • Canadian sleeper cells are already in place. (Over 800K Canadians are known to live in the USA.)

Any guesses as to how much money would be in the pool if every person in your country paid into a single pool for automotive insurance? I bet that if such a pool existed, then there would be a lot of motivation to use that money to reduce the risk of paying out. Which makes me wonder if public transit is better in countries with national health insurance as a result of the national health insurance.

The USA has ~23 million millionaire households. So many people could do that.

It seems that one can pay a percentage of the bond amount as an annual fee, avoiding having to put up the fully amount. I have no idea if that is a good idea, and I have no finished reading the link I posted.

When would some want to do this over having normal liability insurance? Maybe if they drove very little.

Have to? No.

Should you? Yes. The theatrics really liven up the day.

Jesus would be rolling over in his grave, except he left that and is not there.

I fully expect OpenAI and the others are already doing this. And this is why the USA wants to keep China from developing better AI. Not for better AI, but to keep spying on corporate secrets within the USA.

I did those as well. That and not using personal equipment.

Then at one company, we could use personal equipment. And accepting gifts was suddenly okay. And their training did NOT say I could not buy potential clients sex workers.

I never had the opportunity to clarify with HR...

 

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?
