   China has insatiable hunger for land in asia, fish in all the seas, and Australia. Any idea why? It's not like they use all of it. At some point most nations would deem it not worth the trouble to constantly be doing this bickering wit

   I am going to try and avoid google from here on out. Far too much instability around the google services I use the most. It's unfortunate that I've used the gmail id for just about everything including taxes. I feel google is ente

   The big problem with housing markets is that external/international investors who do not intend to use it to stay are dumping money into the market. They dont care about valuations in the near term. They use houses like currency.

   My problem with CDs was that many of them ended up unreadable after a couple of years. I made the mistake of backing up things on to DVDs one time. Wont do it again.

    Mandatory e-learning for "company values" and multiple choice questions? That thing is a time suck.

    A lot of employers took emplyees for granted during the pandemic using that as an excuse to cut salaries while still taking home immense salaries themselves. That's where it started. To add even more fuel to the fire in the tech enabl

    If you ask me it's the battery and the update process that is holding it back. I swore off of Apple earpods after a firmware updated basically made it useless for me and a whole load of first gen Airpod users. Will not buy anything exp

    I have a box full of old consumer wireless routers. I am not sure why most of these devices are so flaky. These days I separate the packet routing from the wifi part and that has made things a little more sane.

    Ask for a separate work laptop from them, put it on a different VLAN without access to local resources. Do not login to anything personal on it. That's what I currently do. I also keep it in an office room away from living areas of the

    Yeah well, I recently flunked a role I had years of experience doing. The expectation I assume in some of these phone screens is that you will lie to get the job. I refused to tell them that I had done something I hadn't and laid it ou

    The reason for these is probabaly the extreme depths from which water is pumped. The normal shallow ground waters arent this bad with arsenic I would assume.

    Here we go again. I want MS to understand that I want it to get out of my workflow once I paid for it. Just get out of and stop making me jump through hoops. I am tired of this corporate doublespeak nonsense.

    Why is that "the market will adjust itself" arguments do not come out as loudly when workmen wages start to rise?

    What ever happened to simple, light weight, free standing OSes? Why does everything have to be networked, with "like share subscribe" buttons, bundled with crap and always online?

    We need a list of remote first companies. Do we already have it? I might be the minority, but I am not sure I want to go sit in traffic jams for the chance to go sit in a cubicle. Not everyone has great co workers.

    Makes sense, it just removes a huge amount of stress, burning of fuel, getting stuck in traffic jams and arbitrary office politics.

    Nice template: make an outrageous statement, get press time, create an issue for vacuous debate, ride the wave on misconceptions about worker efficiecny while WFH, gaslight everyone back into overpriced real estate, make bank.
