I installed a new Brother HL-L2370DW laser printer today and was astonished at how easy it was to get it running. Plugged it into power and Ethernet and it just showed up in AirPrint, my Mac, and my spouse's Windows 10 machine. I wonde

Bands can do covers because there's an existing structure in the US for compulsory mechanical licensing. No such thing exists for anything other than non-dramatic music, as far as I know.

I agree with you that the state has just as much right to vet teachers as it does gun permit seekers. It's a massive difference of scale, however. There have been 135 teachers convicted of sexual misconduct in 2022 to date. https:&#x2

There's a monumental difference between a person working for years to secure a job that they know will barely ever pay a living wage so they can help educate kids and a person applying for a license to own a tool the express purpose of

Teachers are already subject to fairly stringent background checks before they are allowed to teach.

Fwiw private pay individual disability has a much better reputation than employer pay group policies. If you're healthy and young it's an excellent hedge against a life changing event.

This is a topic that I've thought a ton about, from the perspective of being an entrepreneur. I have a full time job right now but even for side projects or any product that I may choose to sell in the future, I've decided that it

The court ruled in Dobbs that the decision reached in Roe v Wade was improper because there is no right to privacy "deeply rooted" in the Constitution or traditions of the United States, which basically means that if the court sti

If you size up a system with variable compressor and fan the system will use the correct amount of power to maintain whatever temp you want. This is more common with inverter compressors, as far as I can tell.

The problem as always is the silent filibuster. If obstructionists in the senate actually had to stand up and defend their obstruction more things would get done.

It's not a high. If you're getting high off of ADHD meds you either don't have ADHD or your dose is way too much. It's more like an assist for task initiation and follow through, as well giving a boost to staying on task

> it doesn’t seem like you’re really challenging the argument. That's probably because it's an argument uninformed by even the slightest bit of research into how a brain with ADHD works. Also you're sealioning, so :reporte

So it feels to me that you're saying ADHD doesn't exist and it's a matter of parental failure or indifference. Do I have that right?

Unfortunately, least privilege access is not common practice in the industry yet. It's coming along, but it's a huge lift to get everything and everyone onboarded, especially if you have a bunch of legacy systems you need to retro

Another data point: 180m2 house renovated in 2009, very well insulated, brand new 5.1 COP GSHP equipment we averaged 36 kWh per day for heat in January. We generate some hot water from that but our primary hot water is resistive electric.

For anyone else reading this, the one tip I have is to reorder your network interfaces to put your wired interface first. There's a three-dot menu somewhere in the network panel to do so. macOS will use the first active interface and i

I have my 1Password emergency kit, with the password filled in, stored on a water-sealed USB drive[1] which I store in a fire box in my house. The combo should mean, modulo a much hotter fire than most typical house fires, that when the fir

That's a right granted by your contract that expires after a certain amount of time with no objections. The merger agreement would have incorporated such a right but Musk waived it (iirc, based on Matt Levine's summaries).

IMO the people that can actually succeed while overemployed could be just as successful, if not more so, as an above-the-board consultant or freelancer. It just seems like inventing a way to do something that already exists and many people

Right, sure. Just as there's no ethics in capitalism I don't think there's any room for shame in capitalism either. Personally, when I was consulting I really wanted to want multiple clients at once but I actually found mysel

Thing to note: the open source version on GitHub, installable by homebrew and native package managers, is not the same version as Ookla distributes from their website and is not accurate at all.
