I will gladly sacrifice my sanity to play that. Sounds like a ton of fun tbh.

As someone who was never fond of the concept of social media, and who never had a MySpace or Facebook account as a result when I was in my late teens/early twenties - this hits home for me.

I did it knowingly, but I sure missed out on a lot of stuff that I usually only found out months after.

For a while my friends nicknamed me "the untagable" 🤣, but I guess not having my entire dumb early adulthood saved for eternity is a win in the end.

The trusting one is very clearly an invitation by one of our cats to rub her belly. In fact, if she flops over like that and you don't rub her belly right away she will vocally object to your inaction.

Her favourite belly rubs are extended both-hands affairs, and she demands them just about every morning.

Honestly, in a properly designed WiFi6 or 7 network with sufficient ap density the average user experience will likely be better than most end station wired connections these days. Especially if that wired network includes a bunch of these bad boys.

This is a very cheap network switch that serves as a great example of shadow IT happening in most companies. Because they were cheap and just about any computer store had them in stock, it was generally faster for an employee who had ran out of network ports to run out and grab one of these than to request proper network upgrades from the IT department. Sadly, because they are not very fast and lack features needed to prevent network disruption due to misconfigured wiring, they cause lots and lots of headaches for the IT team over time.

A good starting point to learn about physical networking would probably still be to grab a recent set of Cisco CCNA prep books and give those a read.

The old adage "There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution" still applies.

If the business relies on the availability of the thing that's receiving a temporary fix, you can be your ass someone, somewhere, is declining the downtime to fix it properly once it's up and running.

Not just the US sadly, it appears the entire Western world is trying to desperately stop the EV transition by incentivizing ICE vehicles again. We have Stellantis building new small-engine diesels for the European market again for crying out loud!

Eby out there spitting truth. And he's right - this is a separatist splinter group trying to drag the majority of Albertans who want nothing to do with them kicking and screaming into the abyss of US annexation.

I feel that, for a lot of folks, he was the last candidate that promised an actual brighter future to believe in. It's a shame corporate donors pushed him out of the race, as it left a lot of folks feeling that their voices would never be heard. I think it's even fair to say that his dismissal by the Democrat party directly led to the voter resentment that helped Trump win the elections.

I am partially convinced he started the war with Venezuela specifically because he felt slighted by her winning the prize. Just so he can be petty and deny her the reason she was awarded the prize in the first place.

Holy shit this is hard to read, what a grotesque dystopia the US has become.
I am at a loss for words to describe just how completely fucked this situation is.
