A co-worker of mine, upon reading this, opined that my face was carbon-rich gunk. He's not wrong.

Just for fun I cranked my treadmill up to 12mph which is the max. Not while I was on it because I know I'd fly off. Every time I 'run' I think about fast running for a long distance. Then I usually stop my workout and go sit on the couch and think of some things. Sub 2hr marathon is Stupid Fast.

TLDR: Losing volume from Amazon isn't so bad. As I worked support in a UPS hub in Jacksonville, FL, I can confirm that actually, losing some volume from Amazon will help. The facility I worked at was at volume capacity per hour over five years ago. Updating the belt system in the building is problematic due to space available and time lost during the shutdown. Year over year the volume has only grown as more people order more online. The capacity in that hub remains the same which means they have to run more sorts/shifts and the operations start to collide together and so on. A little less volume could be seen as a good thing. As long as revenue holds.

Wow. That is a great post - I have a voracious 12 yo grandson who is now all about computing, math and 'being a developer/engineer'. He asked last night if I had any cool projects that we could do. Yes. Yes I do. Thanks for this post!

This is the experience we get in our local Walmart as well. The way the local store is run, I would be surprised if there is an upgrade coming for pickups. This is certainly not a commentary on Walmart - it is however a commentary on my area at large as far as retail is concerned.

You are speaking for me as well - no worries. I'd like to see less of that as well; adds nothing and speculative at that.

We do use multi-factor authentication.

It is based off appliances hosted in Azure.

From my point of view

They are shitty and cruel and don't want to empathize. And there is no incentive to try.

I could make this a Wall of Text just with observations alone. People; still a good time.

'Special is the new retard.' Still to this very day, I refer to myself as a retard. It is truly what I grew up with and for me, over time, it has become a badge of honor of sorts. As a humorous aside, I also tell people that 'I used to be a card carrying retard.' After the looks of shock and dismay wear off, someone asks - 'No card anymore? Did you get 'better'?' - my reply is always - 'Nope, I ate it with some paste in kindergarten. It was delicious.' Never gets old for me.

I am still trying to dial in my diet Right Now. I am a Type 2 diabetic and cardiac patient; it all came on very fast and furious. I've tried LCHF before and it didn't work as described with my chemistry. Same with vegan (low fat super high carb). What diet Team am I rooting for now? Team I-Don't-Want-To-Get-A-Bad-Case-of-the-Dead's-Right-Now. Not sure what form that is but I am still testing.

I've thought about this service and what I could do moving forward for better security. A front door airlock came to mind; front Amazon Keyed door that leads to an alcove that is in front of another locked door. Big enough for packages and maybe a couple adults. Unsure if the effort would be worth it however. Just a thought game.

Thanks for posting that link - after reading the article, that video was the first thing I thought of. It's a great talk that is simple to understand.

I still imagine that it is Turtles all the way down.

The bottle lasts approx 2 weeks with 'correct dosage'. And that price is the higher end product. I am familiar with the mid-range product which I used for 1.5 months (due to pain) and discontinued it because I honestly couldn't really tell the difference.

I went through open heart surgery two years ago April and opioid over-prescription was already a concern. After discharge I received a six day script for the lowest dose of fentanyl and a month of Lyrica. I have a freakishly high pain tolerance so I managed to 'stretch' the fentanyl patches out to nearly one month (each patch lasted roughly three days). Hindsight being what it is - I obviously made it through. Being down in it though, it was far far less than pleasant. Especially that I was supposed to be active and all the usual recovery stuff. It was a bit of no joke as far as pain load goes. I didn't expect to be completely pain free as that isn't life as far as I am concerned, it would have been nice to have taken a little bit more of the edge off. Round the pain off some.

Our south east/east services are janky as all get out. Been ongoing all day though getting worse. RDP from ARM interrupted as well.

Absolutely. And when dealing with nuclear weapons (i.e. Specials) they are the only tools authorized. Nylon and the like.

I've been searching for this information as well. I'd love to find, a definitive, bullet list of things that I or anyone else could do to cut down emissions - obvious or not. I'd also like to see if there is anything available to remove carbon dioxide (and other gasses) from the atmosphere. Small and distributed devices to be sure - instead of three or four monster devices, how about thousands of smaller devices to obtain similar results? My searches have come up rather empty. I agree - I would love to be part of the solution. What is a/the solution? Bottom line this nonsense for me and everyone else.

Definitely not a fad per se. They way it is packaged (Keto) and delivered to the masses makes it seem fad-ish as all quickly ramped-up-to-make-money deals tend to be. I've used keto myself several times though only as short-term diet change. I myself never fully seemed to recover from the Keto-flu even after months of eating strict keto. Adding back natural complex carbs helped me immensely in that regard.

There are many positions that are in effect only for those already in the employ of the contract. Either lateral or promotion but only for an 'insider'. This is not particular to this single contract but can be applicable for all contracts depending on many factors.

I am going to re-read your post until I have thoroughly have it committed to memory. Yours is the verbiage that I have wanted to use in conversations so many times when the end discussion equals 'we'll all be web devs at some point'. The end product of these conversations always made my brain itch; I knew why, just couldn't formulate a reasonably worded response. I will adopt yours gladly.

Having worked with law enforcement I can expand on this - car dash cam footage takes an impressive amount of storage as well. Given how the cameras are triggered, sometimes the footage is not needed or useful and therefore can be deleted. In other instances, depending on case charges and footage, the video has to be kept until further notice - the word 'indefinitely' is rarely used but that is the implication. Of course the body cams adds to this.

That open office anxiety isn't necessarily easily seen or obvious constantly. It can be very subtle and blends in to the background noise. I've gotten used to it over the years but I know it is still there. 'Comes with the territory' is how I'd describe it. My trick is to 'rise above it' so to speak. Tread water harder and try and keep more of my body out of it. Almost always easier said than done.

That of course would then lead to the Surface Book 4 NT

Oddly enough, every time I practice Keto, I am almost the exact opposite; always hungry, cruddy energy but I sleep like a rock. On low(ish) fat and high carb; easily satiated, decent energy, sleep like a baby (awake a lot but no screaming or poop). With the above explained, I have not tried A Balanced Diet - perhaps to get the positives of both modes and mitigate or lessen the negatives. Honestly this is the first time, while I am typing this, that I've come up with that angle for myself.

Reading through all the comments and this one stood out. I am currently a 'reluctant vegetarian' for health reasons of course (bad choices were made during my younger years and now I am so paying for it). However. In-N-Out would be allowed were I near one. I like to eat grass (grass like veggies). Cows eat grass. I will eat the cow that ate the grass at In-N-Out burger. /shrug. Sounds legit to me. - I'd also have a 'healthy shake' there as well. I remember their adverts that mimic'd/mocked the shake diets and it still makes me chuckle.

I can achieve 'dark purple' on strips in two to three days without drastic dietary or exercise extremes. This is one of my biggest sticking points with articles that make generalizations about body functions. There are always outlying examples and exceptions.

Absolutely. We are already here.

My first thought as well - seems as though the USNS Comfort has been on site PR for a couple days now. I know the Navy only has two of those vessels - perhaps a third would be prudent and money well spent?

This more and more everyday. Microsoft should have course corrected with this long ago. Run what OS you want on your desktop/laptop/phone but do it in our cloud.
