omigosh - this is an internet classic that never gets old!

Two observations: one - return to the library. After years of not visiting, I started going back. My favorite spot are the new books and librarian's choice sections. I'm not into g…

Permit requirements must be consistent for all applicants. I don’t find that fascist.

Hi Alan, good to see you again. Another valuable creator I follow on a different platform went through the same thing about a year ago. I strongly recommend you reach out to him fo…

TLDR: EPA policy does not require microplastic monitoring. Mr. Tyler decides to require it and doesn’t ask his boss. Boss says remove the requirement. Mr. Tyler publicly calls out …

Imagine 3 states of a potential customer: 1. They have no knowledge of your product/service; 2. They are aware of it and consider it valuable and correctly priced; 3. They actually…

Eliminating Fannie and Freddie would constrain the funds available for mortgage loans and prices would skyrocket. Until about 20 years ago, both were great and valuable institution…

Well dangit - there go all my favorite crime solving shows.

This is gold, mate. Much obliged.

I don’t know where to start with this other than to point out that there is no way in hell these two clowns had the security clearance necessary to access a prod DB at DHS. I can o…

I want that tie with the storage pockets. Take my money!

it gets easier but not by much. I wouldn't have it any other way. Been 15 years and I don't want to ever forget. My Mom is showing your Mom around and they are trading stories of w…

This is really cool. I took a couple guesses as to which team had the most states represented (Colorado, Notre Dame, USC, K State) but it was too close to call. So easy to use. Bra…

Interesting timing - just days after the announcement that Nicole Ozer will be taking over for Cindy Cohn as the Executive Director of EFF.

This site was helpful in documenting the spread of lantern flies (invasive critters that damage trees on the U.S. East Coast) - the more folks that report sightings (of anything no…

I rather suspect the information was siphoned to linkedin from the payroll company the consulting firm was using. While there are a zillion small consulting firms, there are a smal…

I don't have a linkedin acct. So imagine my shock when I "googled" myself and found a linkedin profile connecting my name to a company I presently have a consulting arrangement wit…

Fascinating idea. Since the board starting position never changes, I'd skip the initial table and pivot and just go straight to loading an 8x8 grid with the pieces. I would also ma…

Not really. Individuals who can build a company are under no obligation to sell it to anyone placing unreasonable conditions on the sale. If I'm buying your company, I have a conce…

A clause I frequently see (as one who performs a lot of contract work) is a restriction on accepting an offer of employment from the client of the consulting firm I'm contracting w…

Stopped reading not long after noticing the title of the paper in question. The very hypothesis is laughable. It is completely irrelevant if the hypothesis is supported or not. Tha…

Well age verification works so well to keep alcohol, tobacco and weed beyond the reach of minors so....

I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords.

I'm just glad that the dumb idea that Neanderthals were dumb, club carrying knuckledraggers is finally being laid to rest. I hope we eventually learn what happened to them. They su…
