I was behind two cars on the freeway, one in lane 1 and one in lane 3. They both decided to merge into the center lane at the same time. I remember the sound distinctly because it was so different than I expected. It sounded like two large, empty cardboard boxes hitting each other. No screeching tires or glass breaking sound (both windshields and side windows broke, but remained intact). It was very unexciting.
Isn't this simply the natural progression of capitalism in action? Everything's for sale, everything has a price.
I was wondering this same thing. Who would take on a loan that a bank deems unprofitable? Is this like turning the loan over to a loan shark and the shark has means to ensure payment that banks don't due to regulations? Are they selling to the govn't? Either option is not good.
I'm using tailscale (which I hear is just a wrapper for wireguard) and love it.
I came here for this. Thank you!
I'd love to do this properly. I tried it a while ago and it tasted like dirt. What is the best ratio of water to grounds?
This is me. I also like slightly burnt microwave popcorn. I dunno, maybe something's wrong with my taste buds.
And now it's so obvious! I should have guessed that.
True. I was referring more to the first part about being fired. After rereading it, the two weren't "fired". Although 3 years of probation isn't nothing, it's a far cry from what many feel should have been done. The CEO was banned from the industry, which is something.
I'd really be curious to know if the punishment of the CEO & "head of retail operations" provided relief to the people affected by their crime AND was substantial enough to change their behavior.I feel that those items are what the sentencing should be about.
Restic and Borg seem to be the current favorites, but I really like the power and flexibility of Duplicity. I like that I can push to a wide variety of back ends (I'm using the rsync), it can do synchronous or asynchronous encryptions and I like that it can do incremental with timed full backups. I don't like that it keeps a local cache of index files.
I back up to a Pi 0 with a big local disk and rsync the whole disk to another Pi at a relative's house over tailscale. I've never needed the remote, but it's there.
I've had to do a single directory restore once and it was pretty easy. I was able to restore to a new directory and move only the files that I clobbered.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but your last sentence isn't correct.
Last year, the former head of the bank’s retail operation was sentenced to three years of probation, while the bank’s former CEO was banned from the industry.
I learned recently that not everyone can see the fluorescent flicker. It's unnerving and feels a bit like being buzzed on caffeine. It's not so bad in the offices with indirect lighting. Also, cheap LED lights can flicker. I clung to my incandescent lights until they all burnt out.
I think you're spot on. In addition to needing to hand over your passport or state ID, your credit card, your email and phone number, what else would they need to target you?
Imagine if you're using your airline branded credit card to get free miles or a seat upgrade and they know all your purchase history.
I like your point about the idealists. IMHO, agile has some merits, rooted in psychology. For example, during stand up to say what your plans are for the day. Same for the sprint and quarter. It helps with communication. I don't like the thing where everything needs to be a deliverable thing. I'll poke my eyes out if I need to sit through another example of building a skateboard, scooter, bike, truck. Try that example with something real like a bridge or house. It ends up in a lot of throwaway work. Now try doing that in a highly regulated field like government or finance where you really can't iterate due to oversight and regulatory compliance.
Oops, this turned into a rant. Well at least agile pays the bills. There's a lot of money to be made in prolonging the problem.
The irony of posting a YouTube link to a comment thread that started with the person looking to degoogle is delicious.
Hello fellow OSM contributor! We've been doing driver's ed at home and while I'm in the passenger seat, I'm poppin' everything on Street Complete! The kid gets the required behind the wheel hours and I'm contributing to OSM.
I haven't heard that. I was told to make the bed (and wash your face before bed and don't sleep in the clothes you wore outside) from a pediatric allergist. It seems to be working, but it's not like I'm running any double-blind studies at home.
Making the bed keeps the pollen and other allergens away from where I put my face.
