What changed?! I'm going to check it out right now!

Because our government has been captured in a way, for our entire lives, that actively disallows it.

How does a thing called "consumer price index" exclude things like energy and food? How is that even close to honest? Friends of mine in CA with $1,000 PG&E bills. Food prices through the roof, $9 for a goldfish carton. But yeah let's exclude energy and food, because consumers - humans, don't require such things.

What 4wd vehicle doesn’t have good ground clearance?!

You don't like ANY of it? Not even Apostrophe / Overnite Sensation?!

Again, "should be" academic stuff.

So you have multiple AV products and you target those groups. You have those groups isolated on their own networks, right? With all the overhead that comes with strict firewall rules and transmission policies between various services on each one. With redundant services on each network... you've doubled or tripled your network device costs solely to isolate for anti virus software. So if only one thing finds the zero day network based virus, it won't propagate to the other networks that haven't been patched against this zero day thing.

How far down the rabbit hole do we want to go? If you assume many companies are doing this kind of thing, or even a double digit percentage of companies, I have bad news for you.

I have never seen a company that uses multiple AV products rolled out to user machines, ever. Sure, when you transition from one product to another, but across the whole company, at the same time? Never... I have also never seen a distribution of something like active directory servers based on antivirus software. I think these stories are purely academic, "why didn't you just..." tall tales.

You use multiple anti-virus products. Let's assume you use 3. Do you have multiple clusters of machines, each running their own AV product, so in case one has this problem the other two are unaffected?

How much overhead are we talking about here? Because if you're just using multiple AV software installed on one machine, 1) holy shit, the performance penalty, 2) you'd still be impacted by this, as CS would have taken it down.

While this is a great theory, how would you actually accomplish this with antivirus software?

Multiple machines, each one using different vendor software? What other software needs to be partitioned this way? What about combinations of this software?

I’m just barely awake but don’t know if I’m affected yet. One of my devs is, our client support staff is, and I have no idea how our servers are doing just yet.

Don't reward single parents... reward families staying together and raising their kids how they want to, as decided by each individual family. There is a drastic statistical difference between those raised in family units vs single parent households... It's even significantly better to have grandparents (note the plural) raise a kid than a single parent.

That is why you drink it from a spring. Let the earth filter it for you. Don't catch it with... a plastic tarp.

Live off the land, in a cabin in the woods. With Starlink and a solar / battery array.

Yep, correct. As many have pointed out in this thread though, HVAC is full of trade offs. I COULD get a bigger heat exchanger.. Although my furnace is already a 5 ton unit. The question is, in the Ozarks, where I am, are the 1-4 days a year where it's too cold to run the heat pump worth paying the extra money for the larger system?

I added an efficient wood stove instead. There's a good tax rebate that covers installation as well - I took advantage of that last year.

It's my experience that they do stop working completely at some temp. The defrost cycle creeps up to 100% and there goes the heat.

Boeing can’t even torque bolts correctly?! What on earth has happened?

> Why get a 30 year mortgage at 40, to only pay it off at 70 and then die in two decades?

1) Inflation hedge. 2) At some point in the next 30 years, you will be able to sell your home at / above what you paid for it, just due to the cyclical nature of things.

I'm not saying real estate always goes up... but for example, I bought at age 41. $515k. Current estimated value, $900k. When the kids are all graduated and out of the house (when I'm 53-54ish) I can sell this, buy something outright in cash, and increase my saving rate from ~35% to about 60% without any change in my current standard of living.

Dot com boom and 2008, moreso 2008, that 30% slid up to around 50%. People justified it to themselves because, as mentioned elsewhere, "Real estate always goes up!"

With sliding definitions of both "middle class" and "afford" I believe this answer will always be "no".

On long journeys I stop every 300-350 miles. Bladders can't make it longer than that, although the cars certainly can. I wouldn't stop at all on a 275 mile trip. I would fill up before I return, however.

You had to stop 3 times for a 275 mile drive?!

My RAV4 prime with "42 miles of range" hits 0 in 22 miles of freeway driving with the temps around 10F outside right now.

Anyone who has driven long distances in the cold (where you can calculate your mpg easily, as you are just driving all day, what else are you doing?) knows that is bullshit. My van that gets 20-25 mpg in the summer gets... 20-25 mpg in the winter. The only time it's affected is when I'm crossing the rockies. Mountains...

Yes. And then when you left, did you have an accurate gauge of exactly how far you could travel? Did you have stops along the way to add fuel in a reasonable amount of time? Did you have reliable, strong heat in the cabin?

I want EVs to be there too, but they just aren't.

For how many years have you had the same server running Ubuntu? Which version did you start with? LTS upgrades only? I don't want to update but once every 5 years or so.

With the iCloud desktop app for windows I'm able to sort by size...

Which versions of linux cleanly update? What do I do with an old Centos 7 system?

People have range anxiety because the electric range estimates are just that - estimates. If not lies. I have a '22 RAV4 Prime. I had a '17 Volt for 3 years before that. I'm aware of how it works. Here's real world for you, NW Arkansas: I'm 24 miles from Lowe's round trip. 11 miles freeway, the rest is country highway. 42 miles of "range" on my RAV4 this time of year, when I return home I have 6 to 7 miles remaining. It's off by 20% or more.

Do you think I could go to Tulsa and back, 212 miles round trip, this Saturday in an all electric thing? Cherokee turnpike for a large portion of it, cruise control at 82 mph.

I think a lot of you city dwellers need to re-examine how you think "flyover states" work. But I know you won't, as you don't care about us, so you'll just keep these wrong thoughts in your head pushing policy on us from afar. It's working great for relations in our country so far, keep it up.

In what role, other than sales, does that make sense? Same exact job title - I'm aware of jr / normal / sr / lead, etc role differences.

Doesn't need lockers or solid axles?

Needs a few software updates to mimic the features of those components.

This video is embarrassing: https://twitter.com/ferio_252/status/1723139057314873543

Here's my answer, living in Arkansas.

Body on frame? Solid axles? Lockers?

Missing any of those, not a truck.
