This was a generic version to get the point across, subject to a lot of factors. The meeting timing aspect is for the external facing comms.

It would be shameful if they actually felt any shame about it.

The company I work at emphasizes the up front contract in both internal and external communications.

“Hi, I need X minutes of your time to discuss Y. I intend for us to reach a decision/decide the next step next step/get your approval by the end of the call. Are you available at this date & time? Thanks!”

I watched it a few years ago, and yes it drags. The ending is slightly worth it, but it was a challenge to get there.

The rectal to keyboard interface has had huge bandwidth advancements

Man, I see this hot take pop up repeatedly, and it’s so easy to say from the outside. Americans are doing things. Why do you think the fascist pigs just murdered another person? Beccause he was doing something. There were crowds of thousands of people marching in protest in Minneapolis today. What’s the next step in “doing something” to you?

America is a large country, where most of the states are as large or larger than most European countries. People are organizing locally, because that’s what they can do. Labor strikes are great, but there are no protections for that in this country. Many employers can fire employees at any time for any reason. Paid time off is not guaranteed, healthcare is not guaranteed. State governments typically do not provide those benefits, and the federal government does not provide those benefits. People striking risk losing their jobs, homes, and healthcare, and many cannot afford to go without income for any period of time without risking homelessness or being unable to affort basic necessities. People are so ground down from the burden of simply existing in this environment.

So what’s the next step? I’m truly, genuinely asking, what can Americans actually do about a federal government that is utterly poisoned from the inside?

I’m not surprised. The standard Microsoft disclosure on my work laptop at the login screen states any use ofbthw computer may be monitored and/ or recovered by Microsoft and law enforcement. That’s why Microsoft products are not present in my home.

Had to look up that one. The similarities in the logo style were immediately clear!

Oh yeah, album art artist for Yes and Asia! Always cool alien landscapes!

The deadliest Bop-It

Oh boy! I’ve done that twice in the period of two weeks. It was… a blast. Good luck!

Exactly. The crust would likely experience similar effects as the liquid beneath, probably fracturing into plates and moving on the tide. There is visual evidence of the surface expanding, contracting, and fracturing with tidal forces

The 8bitdo Pro 2 came with both a rechargeable battery pack and a battery holder for replaceable batteries. Works seamlessly with Linux and Steam via D-input. No personal experience with the Pro 3 to say how it differs.

Rocks and minerals, whether they are refined or not: roads and building materials; ore processed into elemental metals; soils (biologically, chemically, and physically weathered rock); quartz is used for glass (melted and shaped) and timepieces (piezoelectric application of quartz); micas: (windows made of thin leaves, Muscovite), used as reflective additives in road paint and makeup; gypsum is used as fertilizer, sidewalk chalk, plaster, drywall, etc. The list goes on and on, but my point is, geology provides many things in our world that are considered mundane or often overlooked.

Having operated on major sleep deprivation for years on end (babies are hell), I can tell you without a doubt that you should follow a healthy sleep schedule and get a regular 8ish hours of sleep. Sleep deprivation has cumulative impacts on the body, including a suppressed immune system, suppressed healing abilities (if you exercise, your body will take longer to recover), and absolutely diminished memory and brain function. Sleep is your body’s time to heal and clean cellular waste out of your brain. Sleep deprivation has similar effects to being inebriated when it comes to brain and motor function, especially if driving or operating machinery. Be safe, be healthy, and get some sleep, yo.

I’ve used it to run a modest list of Skyrim mods (100ish), and it worked pretty well (although Requiem was very difficult, and I ended up not being able to fully install it). There is a bit of a learning curve, and the wiki provides a decent introduction. It doesn’t cover every single use case but is enough to get up and running. No virtual file system like MO2. It makes a directory for all installed mod files, then drops those into your game files when the mods are deployed through Limo.

Don’t discount the Old Man Strength™. But sure, most people would go down after a couple jabs and a haymaker.

I feel like Mark Kelly could kick some ass. He seems like he would be pretty scrappy.

I’m tired of this, Grandpa.
