Damn, wish I had known about that before I went the takeout method

Well before that when he entered Georgia

The ADP numbers for November have us at losing 30k in November though they had us up in October

Encrypted Matrix or mattermost server with jitsi?

Depends how close they are. Most of my friends (that are into self-hosting and collecting Linux ISOs) are across the country / world. So mailing encrypted SSDs works best for large transfers and nextcloud for small transfers

It has virtually nothing to do with emissions (as if it did, they would just hook up a sniffer to test and be fine)- instead there are blanket bans on any modification not from Edelbrock or a s couple others unless those companies pay exorbitant fees to be “CARB-approved” which has snuffed out innovation from smaller machine shops. And the loopholes are what has driven cars to be bigger and not more fuel efficient

You described most CA laws - don’t get me started on CARB and how is just pushing us toward bigger, less efficient cars while killing innovation by smaller engineering shops

As someone with an Audi that will adjust your cruise control automatically based on speed limit (or rather what it thinks the speed limit is) I couldn’t be more against this. I had to disable the feature after multiple times where it thought I was on some 15mph ramp rather than the freeway and slammed on the brakes in the middle of traffic going 70mph.

You’re going to have to use an external service for email perhaps connected to something like Postfix or just using the email provider’s API - something else to think of if you just need something on your phone as a message / reminder is to use KDE Connect like in this tutorial https://doronbehar.com/articles/using-kdeconnect-to-comfortably-send-sms-messages-from-the-shell/

Got lucky as an early investor in crypto which has allowed me to feel more secure in taking on debt to purchase a home

Nuclear Rabbit - Supermarket

If you’re going to be put to death, this is absolutely how you’d want to go. This may buy a little time but the alternatives are what is truly cruel and unusual

Good ole Cyriak

We’ll see how the Saudis feel about him pissing away their money. Gonna be taking that Tesla stock from him

This is about Saudi Arabia and Iran’s proxy war in Yemen, not Israel

I can assure you this goes back well before capitalism

Where are you struggling to eliminate or reduce single use plastics?

My approach is I avoid buying things with lots of single use plastics in their packaging. If you shop Amazon you can opt to prefer paper/cardboard packaging (it’s not always used though). I use reusable or no bags at the grocery store. Don’t use straws or use metal / silicone. But that just scratches the surface of common sources of single use plastics - I’m also into 3D printing which can be a bear to reign in plastics use, luckily more companies are moving to cardboard spools for example.

Did no one learn anything from Atlanta and the I-85 bridge fire?

Doing work with government, I understand why - ten billion different stakeholders to wrangle, strained budgets (probably not as big of an issue in defense but rampant throughout the rest of gov’t), lawmakers changing things mid-project that have a material effect on how the project is carried out, and endless redtape throughout the process. I don’t propose FF for gov projects either because inevitably they violate our assumptions by not getting their shit in order which kills the timeline, adds a ton of overhead, and results in a change order anyway which then just starts the whole process of approvals all over again.

US and international date standards all suck : ISO8601 on the other hand is beautiful
