I was unaffected on my work laptop. One of my coworkers is a long-timer and said when the company first got laptops there was a huge "OMG leave your laptops on overnight" push to make sure updates were applied. I always at least

In the early 90s, my High School served "Power Jello". The cafeteria workers told us they used orange juice instead of water.

My wife and I worked 150 days in an RV last year and both agree it's easier to be on the road than at home. The small space living forces both minimalism and being outside.

That hitch mounted floating office is hilarious. I'm in the RV-based remote work universe and I've never seen anything like that.

Lumen (AKA CenturyLink) has their HQ in Monroe, LA despite all of the execs being in Denver. I always assumed this was some sort of lucrative tax scheme.

When asked to review something, I like to use a version of Brené Brown's question, "What does support look like?" I can rubber-stamp, LGTM, proof-read, rip to shreds, etc. You tell me what you want.

It's a headache at a population level. Given a 10,000+ company, they will have plans for X% retiring, Y% leaving, Z% college hires to replace them. Most HR departments I have worked with track "regrettable turnover" - how m

On Mac, Shift Option Volume down lets you do quarter increments. This opens up 3 lower volume options between 1 and off.

Agreed - I was thinking if the lyrics were in Spanish, it would sound like legit music to me. The lyrics are kind of silly - like someone making up a song in improv comedy.

Back in the mid 2000s, our killer app was an example app from MSDN magazine. It basically embedded Excel in a simple web page and we could use the pivot tables against SSAS cubes. We did a little web work for permissions and to save views

We got heavy snow on the 4th of July one year. Had to push some cars to get them unstuck. I think people wound up spending the night in their cars.

Mount Blue Sky is one of the few 14ers you can drive up. It's not commercially owned like Pikes Peak. It's a cool trip if you're in the Denver area - remember to get reservations!

Agreed. It's like a different video playing application popped up in the middle of YouTube. Also weird when you exits shorts, the previously watched long video starts playing.

I'm mixed on the shorts. I like it when they do a "you fix this by pushing this button here" in 15 seconds instead of it being 8+ minutes so they can get mid roll ads.
