"Oookay, who fat-fingered the EBGP peering table this time?" Welp, everyone needs a DR/BCP plan for national and regional disasters of natural and human kinds that also involve cel…

I'm not sure where you sourced your information. Taxi drivers are around as dangerous as loggers. Petro-chem (oil rigs) are also extremely dangerous.

"Nothing to see here. Please disperse. And stop recording."

So, what does "close" mean? 1000 ft with a telescope? I can understand not interfering with the immediate official duties, but this seems like it will be overturned on 1a grounds.

It depends if they're deficient in terms of: - Not protecting the team from unreasonable demands and/or blame from the organization - Doesn't ensure the work environment stays civi…

1, 2, and 5 are essentially the same sort of Cluster B issues. Related: The No *sshole Rule is a good book to read on how a single jerk can ruin a team, manager or not. 3 is treati…

This is genius (sort-of). It solves a specific and practical need without being too grandiose. In the long term, an independent, non-profit, social enterprise, government-sponsored…

Too many people nowadays leap to part with huge sums of money with little or no assurances and refuse to make waves when (not if) they get taken.

Hmm.. what if you wear sunglasses and checkout the screen's figure? Would it still notice?

I love how it's pay money for the privilege to temporarily license a beta, unfinished feature, but only if you jump through a million hoops. Some gotcha capitalism right there. Per…

Keep your hands off my FLAC and MP3 hoards. :P Actually, Spotify's catalog isn't that impressive. I use Plexamp when Spotify's choices get old. Soundcloud also has infinite permuta…

Argh, I mistook it for the classic yellow WM-F45. Tapes and pencils forever. ;P Edit: I remember one of the last-ish MP3 players was a Dell one with a micro HDD. First drop and it …

I don't care about ascetics much at an airport except decorating around functionality. Around 2005, the newer Shanghai airport had information boards that didn't contain informatio…

1. Vehicle marketing and 2. personal information and demographics collection for resale preying on the magical thinking of people who play the lottery as wishful thinking in order …

Ah, good ol' insecure attachment styles, emotional unavailability, and/or fear of abandonment. --- BTW: If you want to be immensely unpopular with most people, get good ones taggin…

My grandparents were both from extremely broken homes and married young (15 and 21). They were together until they passed, for 70+ years. Even so, they split for about 6 months at …

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that. If "supposed" implies judgements from vague "them", I don't really care what "they" think.

There are numerous holistic and historical factors that throw more people into the jaws of the unforgiving US criminal justice system: 1. School-to-prison pipeline [i] 2. For-profi…

Yes. He's a political prisoner, 77 yo, and of no danger to anyone.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world except Seychelles. Furthermore, the US is generally unconcerned with rehabilitation, prisoner welfare, and is most concerned…

Listen and watch works by Chris Hedges. He teaches in prisons and notices many aging, nearly cripple African-American men in for life for petty crimes. In the rest of the world, ac…

Go away or I shall taunt you a second time PS: I actually have the bridgekeeper's questions as a welcome mat.

True that. An older woman makes me think birth defects, less agreeable, more jaded, less spontaneous, less flexible, worrying more, and less energetic for weekend adventures. These…

Numbers don't mean much either way. I used to date quantities of women randomly without any consideration to fit but they revealed themselves to be poor fits. Smoking, drugs, bad h…

Coffee maybe fine for some people, but it's too sterile, formulaic, low-effort, and low-energy like a business meeting. I prefer to do something. And don't waste 5-6 dates when you…
