I used to hang out with my friends and neighbors outside all the time in Las Vegas. ...just not so much in May-August.

This is the first I’ve heard of this so I’m just rolling it around… but I suppose this would make it cost-prohibitive for companies to insist on non-competes unnecessarily. As the employee, it’s still clearly a bad position for me unless I

One of my best Airbnb experiences was staying in a yurt in the backyard of a Mongolian woman…in Wisconsin. It was great. They also had a huge fire pit with tons of chairs around it, and I could tell they loved having tons of people over and

FWIW, The Wire strikes me as very much not “copaganda.” It has the rights violations you describe, among other things, but the thrust of the presentation seems to be: “this is real, this is routine, and this definitely is not working.”

They did at least 4… 1999 - 2002. In the 2002 one, they changed the color scheme which made it visually jarring when put next to the previous 3, so I didn’t keep that one. The other 3 I had framed, and they have followed me everywhere I hav

I've seen a few articles on this now. They keep calling it a "secret" message and "hieroglyphic cryptography," but then talk about how sufficiently literate people are supposed to understand it, and the content is a

It’s more about the whole package. I homeschooled. Thanks to COVID and some ensuing frustrations with the district, my kid has done public, private and homeschool at different times. I’m in a moderately large metropolitan area, for context.

It’s been some time, but I testified in support of a bill on this in Oregon. My understanding at the time (2018?) was that California passed a ballot measure to force the legislature to consider it, but then the legislature let it die in co

They’ll call it GPT-XP. But first we need gpt-o3.11 for workgroups.

Seagate’s entire warranty program seems to be a mess. Every time I have to deal with them I get this endless runaround where they demand ridiculous amounts of “proof” that the drive failed, or deny that the drive is under US warranty (bough

It's amazing to me that "open source" has been so diluted that it is now used to mean "we will give you an opaque binary and permission to run it on your own computer."

This doesn’t appear to be a dupe, but the title makes it seem like it is. Here the author is responding to negative feedback from social media for the original post, which is what this is said to be a dupe of.

Irrigating existing grass with Colorado River water is banned effective 2027.

The overwhelming majority of the water does not go to Las Vegas ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River_Compact ) — Nevada is only allocated 4% of the total water drawn from the Lower Colorado River. Las Vegas g

I think it becomes more clear if we call it by its more traditional name, “robbery.” Unless it is at something like a traffic stop where it is done using the implied or explicit threat of force by a police officer — in which case, it is cal

You could set up a sweepstakes to install them with some complicated terms. Then you could explain to the local Vietnamese baker how the rules work — in other words, when does Nguyen Doughs win doze Windows windows?

I was spending way too much time on YouTube. So I disabled history and subscribed to channels I liked. My YouTube use plummeted immediately. Sometimes I search for something or someone links something interesting and I click that, and maybe

If you limit your bandwidth to 28.8kbps it’ll probably still load several times faster than a Wikia page.

One thing I think B5 still comes in very strong for is maintaining a coherent vision throughout the series. Modern TV storytelling will develop a story arc, but that arc is generally contained to a season. The characters as a whole develop

Yep. I remember spending hours on that site -- I watched through when the SciFi channel re-ran B5, and I always pulled the Lurker's Guide up after each episode and read through each episode's discussion in its entirety. My brother

They're even worse than useless, because the devices paired to those hidden SSIDs have to probe for them explicitly. So instead of having the base station broadcast its SSID in one spot, you instead have clients broadcasting that SSID

I started habitually smoking weed when my spouse abandoned me and my daughter to be with someone else. At first, it managed the pain. Later it was for the anger and the loneliness. And when I finally healed enough and moved on, the pandemic

I had only a dim awareness that Nix was even a thing before a few weeks ago. Then somehow I decided that I needed to commit to it 100% and make NixOS my daily driver and make myself learn this. It's been a lot of fun. Like, Dwarf Fortr
