Seriously, I just finished my annual “preventing harassment’ training and there’s a whole section on power differential and how just asking puts employees in a bad spot. Just…don’t.

“Esoteric” meaning anything more complicated than subject-verb-object to this subgenius.
Crowdstrike has Mac and Linux agents.
Ready to be blue-balled this weekend.
Yes, “teach them a lesson they’ll feel in their bones.” Although I thought the focus of being a despot, along with the Scattering, was to teach a humanity a lesson about avoiding the “Pharaonic Disease”; to reject authoritarians.
Yeah, later books seem like Frank Herbert was way too obsessed with sex. The idea of Honored Maitres as using sex to control humans seemed pretty misogynistic, even at the time (yes, eventually there was a guy, too). Still, I think the whole “put humanity in a pressure cooker so they explode outwards when the lid is gone” concept was pretty thought-provoking. Also the Siona project; if prescience is a real thing in that universe, it can be studied and understood, then weaponized. How do you defend against an enemy that knows where and when you’ll be?
The US isn’t in a recession, but all these big companies seem to think it’s high time we had another.
The product of low birth rates and smaller population size. Birth rates are a little lower now, but from a much larger population.
No one was born in the United States between 1964 and 1981.
Yeah, it’s fine. Birth rates were just above 2 per woman for a couple decades before dropping again to current levels, but with a larger population there are still more births happening than in the 1970s. That decade, low birth rates combined with a smaller population resulted in a small number of GenX members. I am totally OK with continuing to fly under the radar.
Jan 4, 2010. Air date for an episode of Good Eats with this avocado toast recipe.
He’s the reason I switched to dry flake dishwasher soap. It makes so much sense! Why pay to ship what is mostly water? That’s the same reasoning (along with reducing waste from packaging) that I used to switch to SodaStream and kegs of beer. Bonus: I got an adapter for my SodaStream that allows me to run it off the kegerator CO2 cylinder, which is much cheaper than SodaStream’s own cylinder exchanges.
I wish I had known about heat pump water heaters before I replaced mine about 6 years ago. Heat pumps for home heating and water heating should be mandated by building code here in mild California. It’s the perfect environment for them. Unfortunately, I use heating so infrequently during our “winter” that replacing my perfectly functional furnace is not really worth it. So, instead I started using the heat pump mode on my portable air conditioner (yes, I know, but also used infrequently) to provide just those couple of degrees of heat that I need. It’s not bad, with a COP of 2.7.
They have tattoo chicken. This is turkey. Totally different. /s
On another note, I’ve been a couple of times and it’s great. I highly recommend it to anyone going to Vegas.

The 1999 movie with Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and Michael Gambon? I just watched it again a couple nights ago! Love it. Love the atmosphere of the photo, matches what we’ve had here the past few days; foggy and chilly. Very appropriate for the time of year.
I recently learned of the existence of Frearson; like the Philips but without the slightly rounded inside corners.
Glorious chaos. The game eases you into it with a few races with only 10 or 20 computer-controlled opponents. The first true 99 race was astonishing. I like the way they have everyone abreast in a standing start, and then spread them out with a few obstacles before funneling them onto the actual track so it becomes a rolling start, but without random chance determining the start order.
