Yeah I use that on one of my machines and essentially had to use it on my mom's machine when the "regular" start menu would crash on open. I haven't been super windows savvy for a decade but various suggested fixes (like sfc, windows rollbacks, malware scans, etc.) did nothing and open shell saved the day!

Are you really complaining that gorilla glass can be scratched by the hardest substance known to man?

So to be clear for a given position you get 100 to 1000 resumes, then interview how many of those before deciding on 1 person? I am curious what the funnel looks like.

My recollection is Netflix is pretty anti-vpn because for instance it gives you the ability to get around region content restrictions.

I am not sure I am following but as stated this is a bit of a straw man. Even in California the latest you can have an abortion is at 23 weeks unless the life of the mother is at risk.

By definition, a fetus becomes viable if it is likely to sustain survival outside of the uterus. It has to be able to survive without extraordinary medical measures.

Doctors determine whether a given fetus is viable. They make this decision on a case-by-case basis.

Typically, a fetus becomes viable around the 23rd week of the pregnancy. Doctors also consider a fetus to be viable once it weighs at least 500 grams.

At the end of the day childbirth is dangerous and expensive and our US social safety net is terrible. If we truly respected life in this country there are better ways to show it than outlawing abortion.

On mobile so don't have a ready link. Iirc a lot of commercial real estate can get into a death spiral if the loan they have which is based on a certain amount of income starts having less income. If I can find the explanation I will add it later.

I always thought if I was about to die in poverty due to the state of our screwed up "health care" system I'd self immolate on the steps of a health insurer's CEO or corporate headquarters.

Not to mention the same employee can flourish or flounder depending on the project, team, manager, culture, company, etc.

I wonder if we got that to go viral in the US if it would have any impact on SUV popularity.

Here's the best part: "I don’t need kid gloves but a week of severance for 10 years is absolutely a fuck you."

What in the hell? I have been laid off from an imploding startup and gotten more severance with less "time served".

Perhaps eventually.

The Feds took almost a year to pay me the $700 theybowedbmenwhen I resubmitted my taxes due to forgetting to add one item I took a loss in.

Yeap. This is the usual response when you criticize the US. "Then move to Canada, Europe, etc."

I mean if a business's fortunes change this quickly it usually means the leadership has no clue. Their job is to be able to accurately forecast all kinds of things at least up to the next few quarters.

Honestly I just use it wired and it looks like others are not impressed with the Bluetooth. Maybe one of them will chime in.

I like this one that seems similar to the logitech "mini" one. https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k3-wireless-mecha...

It's low profile, has replaceable switches, can use a cable or bluetooth, is a fair price and has worked really well.

Not to mention the risk of getting hit by another snowboarder or skier.

Which means it ends up in the landfill.

I wish there were more repair cafes that might takebin items like that.

Here we go... Not a constitutional scholar but I could roughly extend the 13th and 19th amendment to cover this. http://hrlibrary.umn.edu/education/all_amendments_usconst.ht...

The way I think about it is if I had a twin brother and he was dying and urgently needed a liver or a kidney and I could save his life by donating to him but it would clearly have lifelong consequences to me there would be no question that he had no right to my organs.

To me it's a question of personhood. Until the fetus can survive on its own the mother's health and thus choice must take precedence. Furthermore, we as a society (in the US) are not even taking care of the children already living. If someday every kid in the Us is fed, educated and loved maybe we'll have discovered a safe and easy way to remove an unwanted fetus, grow it in an artificial womb find them a loving and supportive home and this whole controversy will go away.

Anyways this is clearly an argument that will change very few minds and that's fine.

Yeap. Work my ass off and got rewarded with 3% this year. I have golden handcuffs with a retention bonus in early *2024* so they think I am locked in. Cue the shocked Pikachu faces when I resign soon because the idea of being there in 1.75 years almost gives me a panic attack.

It's funny to me because this could apply to the Texas sodomy laws that existed as recently as 19 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_v._Texas

Let's be honest, your statement of "For me it was a shock to see the power the state had or at least claimed to have over my life." can apply to all of our politicians of both parties at every level.

And if you have been there for multiple years, with plenty of severance; at least one month per year of service IMO.

Cities can regulate this. Recent example in San Diego: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/politics/san-diego-mayor-si...

Wonder if you run into any issues with your Google account you lose all your domains...

Feels like you are missing the point a bit. The author's point could be about libraries, National Parks, infrastructure like bridges, etc. Many things seem locked in place because of only short term thinking and an unwillingness for short term pain to accomplish long term greater good.

Also Carnegie built the libraries under the provision that local governments would sponsor them going forward. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_library Furthermore today libraries have started to adapt by loaning digitally.

I was going to argue street cars were victims of GM but apparently you are mostly right. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_con... and https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/c87l40/i_hav...

I usually end up giving up trying to buy anything after 20 minutes in Ikea. I am a runner that runs about 25 miles a week (so I am in decent shape) and the place exhausts me mentally, physically and emotionally.

Pretty serious crime: https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/interfering-... Being put on a no-fly list is probably the least of your problems.

It think the risk is in transparency. If I piss off an airline employee in some way and they decide to punish me in this way with no recourse it's a problem.

I will try to listen to this soon but don't have the time at the moment. To what do attribute the ability to be reinfected if not "wearing off"? Am I using the wrong terminology? I think you are implying antibodies may wane but t-cells should provide fairly long term immunity?

These are an older article so not sure if there is something more recent. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/reinfe... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/about-...

It was also my understanding that recovery from one varient does not necessarily provide protection from a different varient. And also infection is not cut and dried and influenced buy duration, viral load and many variables.

Per https://www.forbes.com/sites/juliejason/2021/11/14/still-wor... there are ~10 million people working in the US that are over 65.

That is very concerning. I'd still follow Hanlon's Razor: Never Attribute to Malice That Which is Adequately Explained by Stupidity. The Mayo Clinic has less excuse but the health care folks not entering your MIL's data I can definitely semi-understand based on what the emergency rooms looked like at that time. Still not acceptable to not get it right after you repeatedly reminded them though!

I kind of disagree that "Any answer will only undermine that goal" because giving both the bad news of side effects with the good news of the efficacy of the vaccine strengthens trust in science and the people doing this research. But I see your point because the average person WILL probably say "I'll take my chances with covid because I (or my kids) will be fine" vs. 1 .001% chance of heart damage.

I appreciate the dialog about this and thanks for giving your story.

First of all I am sorry for your loss.

I don't disagree that your natural antibodies probably gave you more or less the equivalent benefit of the vaccine (depending on the strain). However, there are plenty of bad actors saying they had it when they didn't just to bypass any sort of mandate for work, travel, etc. Because of that it's hard to trust folks at their word.

Finally your natural immunity will eventually wear off though I am not sure if there is consensus on when that happens. I acknowledge that there is some risk and hand waving "it's a one in a million chances" doesn't help when it's someone you love.

There are also lots of people that have had bad experiences with the medical field, the government, etc. so don't trust the vaccine. I don't agree with them but I can't blame them for their conclusions. It for sure doesn't help to berate them or you.
