And this is why my wife and I homeschool our kids. It’s all about teaching critical thinking. They’re so far beyond their peers in public schools it’s not even close. NCLB was one of the worst decisions for our society in centuries.

He believes in some weird ass pseudo-science. Once you understand that it ALL makes sense. He’s fucking nuts.

Honestly that tracks. lol.

More likely comfort or even just to stay on. They didn’t have elastic and a large pocket might have rolled and not stayed put. Putting it between the toes secures it.

Personal: 2TB on iCloud shared with the family. I’m, by far, taking up the most space at 160GB.

Haven’t felt the need to use anything else. I’m still on Google too but don’t store anything new there since I have zero trust in my privacy on the service. Come to think of it, I need to remove whatever is still there and move it to iCloud.

Work: It’s all OneDrive/Sharepoint can’t remember the storage we’re given, which I don’t have control over, and don’t love. On Windows, it tends to fail to sync a folder here and there every once in a while for no apparent reason. And I absolutely hate the fact that you can’t attach a file to an Outlook email while it’s still open. Sometimes that is the best way to share it Microsoft! I wish I could use a Mac at work … sigh.

Oh it’s worse than that already. We’re owned by a PE group.

10 days is our max away from home. We’ve done 14 twice and both times it was just too long.

US, unlimited vacation and PTO and the major holidays off. We’re encouraged to take off a minimum of 1wk per quarter. Definitely unique in the states. I work for an extremely large startup. Don’t know how long this vacation plan will last. lol.

You nailed it. Nothing is more infuriating than a UI element moving as soon as you go to tap it and you now miss tap something else. I echo stop re-arranging my shit!!

TIL

Low for commercial. Moderate to high hours for general/private. The start of the catastrophe was the bolt holding the fuselage to the empennage (tail section) shearing off. Short sheeting maintenance seems to be the likely cause. Big no, no for reasons like this.

Excellent mission and partnership. See corporations, this is what a leader looks like.

Yeah, not seeing this as the big bad everyone thinks it is. We regularly have Teams meetings with other companies when they’re sharing their proprietary info. I’m okay with a screen capture disabling function just like we’d want to use from time to time.

Oh Workday … Blech.

Even the US has this in places. Definitely not a first in the word situation other than what China tells its citizens.

Shit, my 450/450 dedicated is good enough for a family of 5 with data hungry kids. I’ve also had a similar experience on 500/500 shared. Fiber of course. Screw cable.

Because limiting Federal power has been the theme of the US since the beginning. The founders were so afraid of it going the way of monarchy that they didn’t see the consequences this could have back then. Not arguing for or against that, just stating the “why” since you asked.

As much as I hate to say it, because Fuck Musk, Starlink really is as good as they say in rural areas like yours. FiL has had it since the early beta and it was transformative for him. Streaming is now as good as wired broadband and “no lag” video calls are as well. It drops out very 20 min or so for a minute since the constellation isn’t complete yet but that has been getting better year over year.

Again, Musk is a massive choad, but this is the only decent option for people without anything good.

Great recs honestly.

This seems to be correct. Sudan, surprisingly does offer paid leave however other countries in Africa, like Zambia, do not offer paid but do offer unpaid (like the US on a Federal level). Map is, indeed, worthless.
