Pretty much every OSHA rule came from some kind of death or dismemberment of they guy before you. As a wise foreman once said, "Better a pain in the ass than your ass in pain”

Indeed they are, but every single site wants my email and birthday before I can view content now. I don't knock them for trying to make money from ads but I don't need them selling my email address on the side too.

I've actually been using it for years but I've never messed with the launch gestures before. That's a super useful feature.

KISS launcher is exactly what I was looking for in a launcher. 5 always used apps at the bottom calendar and weather widgets on the home screen, search for everything else. It seems like it used to have a lot of problems with custom icons but lately it's been pretty much perfect.

This guy isn't kidding about the garage door springs. I had some of the old style ones in my old garage that broke and launched a piece of metal across the garage right past my head and made a giant dent in a 2x4. Those things are vicious.

Maybe not that much more complicated, but it does give a less experienced user a lot more opportunities to make a mistake that could result in data loss or just a computer that suddenly decides not to boot Linux anymore since a Windows update broke grub.

Also Diana Muldaur.

From a Star Trek perspective, when they have to eject the (warp) core they are also in for a pretty bad time.

Am I crazy, or is that a lot of Tribbles?

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

Mine is usually sheer horror at the prospect of getting that far and screwing up on an international stage. Secondhand anxiety is in the red zone.

Half?

Hopefully more Justin and Tawny than Alex.

So does writing down a card number or writing a check or even the dreaded IOU. Double also, if things break like they did on Friday, ways to get cash(ATM, tellers at a bank) will also be impacted as well as the things that you might spend cash on (gas pumps, cash registers etc).

I dont think that cashless needs to exist and having paper currency is useful in a lot of cases but in 2024 the idea that cash is the solution to much of anything is a little silly.

My conspiracy theory is that hes sitting on a mountain of Hillbilly Elegy DVDs and this is his plan to finally sell them all.

But yeah, he believes in whatever is making him money at any given point because hes simply 10 pounds of slime in a 5 pound sack.

You're absolutely right. Everyone will be very worried and talk about the importance of security in the enterprise and yada yada yada until a cool new AI spreadsheet software comes out and everybody forgets to even check if their firewall is turned on.

But with that being said, if you have been looking for a good time to ask for cybersecuity funding at your org, see if you can't lock down 5 years worth of budget while everyone is aware of the risk to their businesses.

I'm willing to invest in a truckload of A&W if that's what it takes.

Amazing behind the scenes from said film.

Id say its more like a brother that I know could be doing better for himself but is instead repeatedly screwing up.

This is such a tragedy. And magnetic tape from that era may or may not hold up long enough before someone finally gets around to having them digitized.
