Can they fix file navigation next? I’ve never been able to figure it out, somehow I can have files shared with me that are impossible to browse/ search for, you just have to bookmark the link.

I feel like this is a dismissive response to the article, as if there were some sort of “gotcha” clickbait going on. I perceive it to have delivered exactly what the headline promised: Doxxing (and worse) for sale using lightly regulated lo

A massive misrepresentation of what’s actually happening. Cooling water is completely sealed off from the main loop, they exchange heat through a coil with lots of metal fins, which may leak tritium, but if you’ve ever been in a basement or

Levying a tax on international consumers might be an easier fix than completely rewriting water rights legislation. Also: our usernames are oddly similar!

Or mount another hour hand on it that always tracks an hour ahead of the existing one with a label on which dates it’s applicable during. That’s a clean solution right?

I have a wall clock that syncs with an atomic clock in Colorado, which was cool at first but I live in Arizona now which doesn’t observe daylight savings so it’s often wrong by an hour now.

That’s the gig with becoming a PE: you get a stamp and you can stamp drawings with your approval. You get paid for stamping things, but you incur liability because if they’re not actually safe then it’s on you.

A big step backwards for what? I can hail a cab, watch shows, all sorts of things on-the-go. If you’re claiming it’s a big step back for productivity, I’d argue that phones and tablets are devices of consumption, few things of worth are pro

“These drugs” referred to the class of drugs, GLP1s, which have been around for much longer. Victoza was approved in 2010 (liraglutide) and Byetta in 2005. It’s clickbait because it’s trying desperately to paint a narrative that these drugs

That’s not true. There was a doctor owned clinic in Seattle (The Polyclinic) with multiple locations across the city. A few years ago it was purchased by Optum (United Healthcare), and the standard of care has fallen through the floor.

True, I can’t stand over-engineered solutions, I don’t think those people are ever going to get a high velocity. Maybe it’s safer to say the situation is a necessary but not sufficient.

Actions like this are a mark of a company with excess staff. If someone is so bored that they took it upon themselves to require someone ride on a second leg of a trip, there’s probably some bloat in their org. And how are they claiming the
