Rabbits are incredible pets, not least of which is because they leave virtually odor-free (being herbivores) droppings which can be collected and spread through the garden as compost/fertilizer. Our family of buns actually produces so

The problem originates with people releasing domesticated rabbits into the wild when they decide they no longer wish to care for them as pets. Unfortunately, this is almost always a death sentence for the creature which won't understan

Fresh hay would be better still. Healthy rabbit diet should consist of 85-90% hay, some greens and fruit/sweets extremely sparingly.

A federal judge vacated the nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place and the lockdowns were not merely the result of US health officials conspiring. Your criticism of the CDC is valid but I believe it is misguided; the manufactu

Many apps on your phone are entitled to read WiFi SSID's, mapping your location as accurately as GPS - and indoors, too! Go ahead and google "where am I" with a native Android/iOS search app with your VPN enabled, you ma

Paradoxically, the most trustworthy thing you could do as a VPN provider is explain why most people don't need and won't actually benefit from a VPN. Outside of a few limited use cases (accessing location-restricted content, conne

I think "trivial" is generous. For context, the current market rates for a SIM swap ranges from several thousand USD (T-Mobile) to well over fifty thousand USD (Verizon). It is not really something most people should lose sleep ov

It's still an additional authentication factor, so in most circumstances, yes it would benefit security. However, you can (and should) use U2F for 2FA, which involves hardware making cryptographic assertions that cannot be phished or m

Google is no saint, but there's absolutely no reason to ascribe ill intent to collecting phone numbers of 2FA setup. The reason is simple: Google has billions of users, and at any given time, a lot of them break their devices and lose

Honestly, I understand your sentiment and there's probably a bit of Stockholm syndrome going on with my appreciation of such culture. Under it, engineering quality definitely suffers - as well as morale and such things - but these were

It was without a doubt dysfunctional, and I have since left the position, but that role was incredibly rewarding financially and taught me many things about myself, and what I desire out of life. So while I was totally burnt out by the end,

George Gammon on YouTube has easy to understand (maybe too simplified for engineers) videos on macroeconomic topics. There's a bit of conspiratorial/doomsday spin to the content (probably to get more views), but if you can look pa

This sounds a lot like flame-baiting. Are you expecting a constructive dialogue by leading with an accusatory generalization about a wide corpus of political ideology? Or do you wish to engage in a good faith dialogue about what "conse

A lot of this is centered around doing less, expecting less from your workers, hiring more and "being more positive". These are pretty sentiments, but frankly they're completely dis-joined from the reality of working in a com

Covid, like the common flu, was always understood as one day becoming endemic. And we'll continue getting more diseases and pandemics as we farm hundreds of billions of animals in disgraceful conditions every year.
