One of the ways I knew I was burned out from my job was that when I got back from vacation, I felt as bad as I did just before the vacation. No improvement at all. The vacations were fine, but it was like opening a door into the same flood every day.
Yeah. We have a 2009 MacBook pro here that still works great, other than being horrendously out of date. I was getting 6+ hours of battery life out of it when it was new, which is pretty surprising in those days.
And OS X is pretty nice (or was for the life of that laptop, I haven't used it much since then), and still Unix.
When my wife needed a new laptop a few years ago, we got her a Mac, because it's just so much less maintenance for me, compared to Windows. (She uses some stuff that Linux does not yet support.)
Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Except that Trump is a user - a people user - and he saw Musk as someone he could use.
There are two things about this falling out that surprise me: First, it took a LOT longer than I expected, and second, it's nowhere near as contentious as I expected.
Wasn't Tesla the company that had a person (or group of people) dedicated to distracting him, thereby letting the rest of the company actually do work?
I just remembered the discussion without separation was in Disaster, when Troi was the senior officer on the bridge and a warp core breach was developing. Ro wanted her to separate the ship to save as many people as possible, but Troi wanted to wait in the hopes someone would get to engineering and fix the problem.
Who is actually creating a legitimate Facebook account at this point?
I moderate a few groups on Facebook, and every account I see for new members that was created within the last few years is a spammer. The people who wanted Facebook accounts already have them. Very very few actual human beings are signing up for new legitimate accounts at this point.
Facebook should just close the new account option. They're working toward AIs talking to each other and won't need human interaction any more anyway.
Sounds good. My brother is an originalist, but I'm more of a modern guy. I have an old Cannondale 2.8 frame that he built up for me in the late 90s, and it has 8 speed 105. I've threatened a few times to upgrade it, possibly using the SRAM setup with wireless shifting and rim brakes. I think it would disappoint him. Of course, it would require new wheels as well.
But as a practical matter, those 8 speed parts aren't going to last forever, either. I think the rear derailleur spring that holds the chain in tension is a bit tired already, for example. And it's not like I can buy a new 105 8 speed derailleur; I can get a used one but that's just as old. (I use the bike on a smart trainer on Zwift. What I really should do is upgrade to one of the trainers that doesn't require physically shifting.)
A friend of mine has that condition where she can't visualize things. I wonder how she would like this comic. My guess is she'd crack a joke about it being a good thing she can't do this.
I love that you are voted negative on this. You're absolutely correct, but people don't want to hear it.
Had a long argument with someone a few months back where they insisted if they come around a curve and a tree is laying across the road, and they can't stop in time, the tree is at fault...
