When I worked at a F500 a decade or so ago, I asked about a Linux laptop and was basically told they would like to support them and were working on it, but couldn't because vendors we used didn't support Linux. I wonder if that&#x

As a fellow chonk, if you want a serious answer to what makes you feel full, it's protein and complex carbohydrates (generally stuff with a shitload of fiber). As for what's making us bigger, it's cheap and easy access to hig

The CLI clients are quite good. I typically just use the sftp binary or rsync, or lftp if I'm doing actual FTP connections. They're available on Windows via WSL, or probably natively on Mac (I assume Homebrew has them if not).

You can attack both when the people trying to warn you are incompetent. This was an obvious second order effect; if they tell businesses "we don't want you to do this, so you can't unless you put up a sign" it should nev

You can measure body fat percentage using electricity. I believe it works on the differing resistivity of muscle/bone/fat, but I could be wrong. Higher end scales often have a sensor integrated. Takes like 2 seconds to get a readi

At $100k per child, it would effectively open up "babymaker" as a career. US median household income is ~$75k, so a family doing nothing but having a baby every 16 months would average out to median household income. I assume that

I think any law that includes grandfathering like this should also include a sunset date on that grandfathering. How is a new bakery supposed to compete if the old bakeries have a competitive advantage due to being grandfathered out of regu

I love mine, even though I now think a couple are dumb. To me, my tattoos are both art and a sort of snapshot of myself in time. They reflect the things I was interested in, what my mind was preoccupied with. I look at my tattoos kind of li

I don't doubt something like that will come along, but I don't think it will help. There will be more subtle ways to get the answer. Ask for a refund, ask if that's the highest refunded they can give, ask if that's reall

I hope you'll forgive the nitpick, but those percentiles aren't a measure of consistency, they're a measure of the impact of outliers on the high end. E.g. [30,30,30,30,30,30,30,30,60,60] (8 30's and 2 60's) has th

Oh, it's by birthrate. For a brief second, I thought families making less than $10k/year was a large enough cohort to have the largest number of children and I was horrified.

60k is likely very low for this kind of support. The people calling in are generally IT professionals that have issues a script won't solve. When I worked with VMWare, it also wasn't uncommon for us to have support on site. If we

And the risk they're most concerned with is the business ceasing to function. I worked at a F500 that used VMWare; they'd probably pay a 12x subscription fee. Not because they want to, but because they started trying to get rid of

There is no problem with legit prescriptions as far as I've heard; nobody's getting fentanyl instead of Adderall from a pharmacist. It's still a problem, but your prescriptions are safe. > The other thing would be the tech

I don't think that's quite fair, I think there are reasonable reasons to be for state rights. Or, in my own words, it's less than I favor state rights and more that I disfavor federal rule. Federal rulings are winner-take-all
