Back in the late 90s/early 2000s the IT program at RIT used FirstClass, and there was a pivotal moment I still think about to this day: I was seated at two computers, both signed into FirstClass on different accounts. I sent an email f

I’m curious, do you actually trust those certifications? I’m wary of the validity of them, but don’t know how to verify if they’re authentic. Thinking mostly of UL certification.

Solid Ethernet cabling should generally only be used on permanent building cable that never move. Stranded should be used on patch cables and cables that get moved around. Beyond being more difficult to handle, regular movement will break s

If I weeded people out based on their talking too much in Zoom meetings, I would lose a fair number of my best people. I don't think this would make it into the top 20 red flags to look for in an interview.

I don't question it because I have no reason to think it's fake. It could be, but there's nothing indicating it is. In the absence of proof showing it's fake, I have to assume that it's real. I think it's a fan

They shouldn't have to fill out the forms at all. For the average person it should be a literal "yes, that looks correct" online check box. That's exactly what TurboTax doesn't want.

Before entering the pro A/V industry I used to equate BNC with "ewww, old as dirt." I then came to love the simplicity and reliability of SDI. Nowadays I work in uncompressed ST2110, and while there are many advantages of net

I'm boring. I know I'm boring, and I'm bored as a result of being boring. I suspect a good part of it is bog standard depression. Tied into that is the difficulty of learning new things; I have a lot of things I WANT to learn

I've found it to be very inconsistent. I've found that typically episodes will play credits and not auto-forward to the next episode. Movies will sometimes skip credits and move to trailers, sometimes not. I feel like usually they

Beyond wasting the truck and wasting energy (fuel) transporting the weight of the truck, the height of the truck and trailer on top of the train car would likely exceed bridge and tunnel heights.

I own a car and use public transportation. Having to wear a mask has never come even close to factoring into which I take. Having to deal with all the traffic and terrible drivers though? That factors in heavily.

I looked into this a few weeks ago while exploring purchasing an electric car, and from what I could find "tow charging" was experimented with but has basically been given up on. The expectation is that if you lose power, you will

I know few people that believes that all of the "unfairness" in life is based entirely on history of prejudice/luck/system. I do know many people who believe that prejudice/luck/system has a very strong influe

I note that nowhere in the quoted text does it discuss negative effects. In fact, the very next sentences say: "In 1998, the National Cancer Institute undertook a large study, using cancer case information from the institute's SE

It's not a question of "obey or starve," it's a question of "live in and participate in society, or GFTO." If you want to enjoy all the benefits of living in a well governed, well protected society, you're

I never understand this whole "99% survival rate" being presented as if that's low. I don't know about you, but if I'm around something that has a 1 in 100 chance of killing me, I'm going to do everything I can

This facility, which is small and really still basically a prototype, scrubs 4K tons. However future facilities that are currently in the works will scrub 1M tons. That brings you to the 30,000 facilities to meet existing demand. Google t

Mostly good advice, except for the one comment: >Vast majority of cases present the infamous circle. But some don't. I believe it's actually the other way around, only 20-30% of cases show the "typical" bullseye.

This seems to be the crucial bit that is always missing from these discussions. I don't doubt that the CO2 emitted in the assembly of the car is less than in the driving. But I'm curious about all the other environmental impacts (

The solution of disabling autopilot in the presence of flashing emergency lights seems so incredibly obvious to me, that I can only assume I'm missing some glaring reason for it to not have been the case since day one.
