I’m just relaying the (presumably reliable) information given to us by our fairly robust IT department. If you have credible evidence that Zoom is lying to their corporate partners, I will absolutely pass it along!

Paid versions of Zoom implement stricter privacy measures and conform to formal security audits. I work for a government contractor and the paid version of Zoom we use is certified for official business according to some arcane standard.

I’ve never belonged to an actual book club, but have followed along as a podcast I listen to did a virtual book club. They did it as the article suggests, reading a small portion of the book each week and discussing that one portion for aro

There was an ancient game I found an article on a few years back that I have been unable to find again. It (I believe) was an Asian game and had over 400 distinct pieces, each with their own rules for movement. Does that sound familiar to a

An addition for anyone in the Baltimore/DC area: the Ellicott City Volunteer Fire Department has an annual model train display that they set up every year. Believe it’s from right after thanksgiving through the new year. It’s not enorm

Just finished Shogun myself! I went through stages of “I am done with this book” every few hundred pages, but then would realize I was actually interested and would pick it up again. I think I repeated that cycle three or four times before

The good thing about children is every phase will pass. Them waking uber early will gradually lessen and you will be able to get up a bit early and enjoy some time to yourself. I’m finally past the super early phase with my second and I can

Not the OP, but the method that worked for me when I was training for the military years ago was to (situation permitting) drop down and do five push ups every half hour for most of the day. Do that for a week, then the next week add five m

We had the exact same issue with our now 17 month old. My wife did the same and cut dairy and soy out of her diet for over a year and the problem went away. Good news is it goes away with time, so she was able to gradually introduce dairy t

Just curious, are you trying to stay super close to your job or is moving to Anne Arundel or Howard county an option for you?

NSA is a signals intelligence agency, so it makes sense that they would be known for cyber espionage.

Are people downvoting because they think you’re being heartless? Is this not a valid concern that businesses have to deal with even in the midst of dealing with the tragic loss of life?

I’m surprised you made it that far! I stopped reading after (I think it was) book 4 when I realized it could be summarized as “the company travels a few miles down a river for 800 pages”.

My wife and I try to do this every few years. This year we started by marathoning the Hobbit trilogy. While I like the Hobbit movies, it was the first time I had watched them back to back with the LOTR movies and I was blown away by how muc

Tangentially related question: is it up to the developer to make forms do stuff like use the number pad on a phone instead of the QWERTY keyboard when the user is asked for a zip code or telephone number? Is this not something that is just

I had to do a session in an altitude chamber as part of training in my early military career. I remember how scary it was feeling like I had just sat down on the bench and been there for no more than 3-4 minutes tops when I was told time wa

This is how I approach the game and my friends and I have an absolute blast. Card Kingdom makes some EXCELLENT duel decks with great themes (zombie, pirate, eldrazi drone, all legendaries, etc) for 10 bucks a piece and we have fun on lunch

Ahh yes, this is an annual thing in the military where, at the end of the fiscal year, commanders start putting pressure on subordinates who haven’t completed this course for the year. Everyone is threatened with not being allowed to go hom

It’s the same formula that recent documentary makers use to stretch out a relatively simple true crime story that happens to have a weird twist into ten one hour episodes.

For RPG goodness, Divinity: Original Sin is one of the best isometric view point games I’ve ever played. Skyrim for first person goodness. For tactical squad based games, I am still playing X-Com. After this play through, I am finally firin
