i reupped but I know many have not - one guy I know has had it twice and been hospitalized both times.. he never learns.

I think that part of the issue is that the virus is evolving so rapidly that it's not a "vaccine" in the traditional sense, like the polio vaccine where you get it and you're protected forever (or close enough). that's how many people see vaccines - you take it and you're "cured", but not with rapidly evolving viral loads.

it's frustrating but not a lot I can do about it.

you're not wrong, they totally could - but not at a profit margin the board/stockholders will accept. really glad I dont have any investments in commercial real estate.

yes, but the Enterprise level license usually lasts longer than the individual license does. Enterprise level you're basically stuck in that ecosystem, you've got tools written for it. I remember when IE6 was the latest hotness and then everyone struggled to get away from it for years and years but integral revenue generating tools relied on it.

that's their endgame? how does that work when they're surrounded on all sides (counting the sea)?

why not just suicide at home? like, why get all dressed up in tac gear, then off yourself in a relatively public space? oh sure, mental illness, but... why not just stay home?

the reality is that if companies have remote employees, they dont need commercial real estate. if companies dont need commercial real estate, a GIANT BUBBLE that will dwarf the subprime fuckups in 2008 happens & tens of billions of dollars in commercial real estate will rapidly lose value. anyone holding that property will see their assets plummet like someone jumping out of the 70th floor of a Wall St building.

if anything, the pandemic taught us that 90%+ of employees who could work in an office downtown (or wherever) can work just as well at home. Schwarzman's ass is on the line.

maybe the video is more informative than the article, but the article has no new science information in it.

I wonder what percentage of their rapidly diminishing military might is being used to block foreigners from leaving? seems like a poor allocation of resources... unless there's something they dont want the foreigners to tell the outside world?

yeah. I have a tiny-pc (whatever the ultra sff is called now) that will run w10 forever - supported or not, for a specific use-case, but the desktop i'm trying to transition to will be linux. already moved my laptop to linux (both mint because it's easy). have a different laptop that was decent 10 years ago that I use as a testbench to try out other, non-mint distros.

long term i'll move to 3x computers but daily really only use two.
