Fly high, Zeus, for you have ascended.
When I moved in, I told my neighbor I only mow my yard once every 2 weeks. Something I read that said it would help the bees. He’s done the same to match. We also have lightning bugs now, which I didn’t notice the first year.
I’ll be honest, I’m ok with what happened. Someone at work gave me shit over “oh but he has 2 kids …”
Murder in the general sense is not ok. People shouldn’t be able to end the lives of other people just because without response. But this guy... How many lives did he decide to end so he can get a little bigger of a paycheck?
The kids? Yeah, as a parent, I have sympathy. But as a human, fuck that shit.
This is both cool and scary.
A few years ago, I was walking my dog at night just after sunset and looked up as I normally do to star gaze. My eyes caught a glimpse of a fast moving dot moving across the sky. I was getting the ISS reminders at the time and had none for the day, so I opened up Sky Guide and used the gyro feature to identify it. The dot happened to be an old Soviet rocket from the 1950s.
This opened up a different way of thinking about how much we’re tossing into the sky, and if objects are still floating by some 70 years later, what will our sky look like in another 70 with the accelerated launches we have today.
The advancements we’ve made as a human race is amazing, but quite scary at the same time.
I believe that's a Brown Recluse. It appears to have the telltale fiddle on its back.
I kind of hope I'm wrong though.
I was a Radioman in the Navy, and some coworkers and I had gone to see Cider House Rules in the theater.
There's a scene where they come to inform someone that a plane with a loved one on board had been shot down.
To quote the movie:
When the plane was hit, the crew chief and the radioman jumped close together. The copilot jumped third.
We immediately started laughing when we heard that, because we were told that the Radiomen are some of the last to leave a sinking ship due to needing to destroy the cryptographic material. Hearing that a Radioman was one of the first to bail was too good to us..
A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.
And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.
I believe what they're getting at is an issue if they're not already authenticated prior to the outage. Then they'd have no access to their media unless they look into the workaround for that beforehand. It has been an issue in the past, especially when Plex's auth servers go down. I remember plenty of Reddit threads complaining about it.
In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.
(Emphasis mine)
This is the same tone deaf response I've come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I'm happy to no longer be a user of their platform.
Sounds a lot like what my company did. They made going in on Mon, Tue, Wed mandatory for everyone not designated as "Remote" beginning the day after Labor Day. The dumb thing here is that people don't have a desk to go to.
They announced a construction project on one of the buildings a few months ago, and have since closed that building completely, moving those people into the main building, and announced at the same time the closure of 2 more buildings for "reasons." This forced the need for "Flex Desks" as well as the installation of "bench desks" in what used to be common areas, just to fit people in. Further stupidity was introduced when they said that teams would have designated "neighborhoods" to sit together in, which is anything but. It's really a floor or part of a floor for an entire organization - "figure it out." So now when we arrive after our shitty commute, we have to wander around for a place to sit.
Then there's parking, which, if you didn't get into one of the 2 parking garages that are company owned and paid for by pre-tax deductions, then you have to find your own parking with your post-tax pay, because the agreement with the local garages wasn't renewed during the pandemic.
All dictated to us by someone who regularly joins video conferences from his car, home, or Yacht.
After years of eSim, wanting eSim, asking for nothing but eSim, I'm done with eSim. Having an argument with a T-Mobile rep in store on whether or not my Pixel 7 has an eSim made me no longer want eSim. I want my phone and its service to be as self service as possible, and managing my own sim seems to be my best option.
I can't recall if that can be done, but it doesn't sound familiar. I'll look later and update if I see anything like that.
UPDATE: There is a "Sync" config item that allows you to define a Local Folder and a corresponding pCloud Drive Folder. It looks like you can define a local folder, but then the 'pCloud folder' is any folder you have in your pCloud drive, existing or new. Could that be what you're looking for?
