There were a handful of them. Two I remember are allofmp3 and something like mp3eagle. One of those introduced me to Muse around the time Black holes and Revelations came out.

I’m sorry you have to deal with this kind of BS where you live, OP.

Just because they don’t ticket you for it, doesn’t mean it isn’t legally considered reckless. Cops often exercise a bit of discretion when deciding which ticket, if any, to write up. Some people just get out of tickets. I’ve never been that lucky, and I’ve never really driven particularly fast. A quick search suggests reckless is considered 15-over in CA, but I can’t find the specific statute.

To answer your question, I’ve lived all up and down the east coast and TX.

Some places are sticklers about the speed limit, and other minor offenses. If you’re local, you tend to know where they are, either from word-of-mouth or local news. Most places won’t ticket for going 5 mph over because a lot of judges will just throw the ticket out, especially if you come with a receipt saying you had your speedometer calibrated. In seemingly more and more places, 10 mph over is the norm. Some of that’s due to shrinking police forces. Pretty much everywhere, 20+ mph over is considered reckless driving.

At its heart, Obsodian is a flat file markdown-based not taking app. It is pretty simple. To understand where it gets more involved, look at all the plug-ins available for it. There’s more stuff that can be found in the docs pretty easily.

Never heard of that, does it work offline? I’ve been using TiddlyWiki on a cloud drive as a bookmark homepage.

Agreed. If GOP candidates spout anti-trans BS, they aren’t gaining any votes. Conversely, Dems doing the opposite risk losing moderates. People forget the moderates are really just fickle bitches looking for reasons not to vote for someone perceived as “too liberal.” For the most part, Dems are going to be friendlier to trans people. Saying it out loud probably costs them more than it they gain from it. It’s a fucked up reality.

ETA: Ask the gays how they felt about it in the 80s & 90s.

Building on this, if you don’t know at first but think you might, it’s ok to ask questions to flesh out and better understand the question. It highlights your troubleshooting skills. If you still don’t know and they tell you the answer, there’s nothing wrong with asking follow up questions. This can demonstrate your interest in the subject as well as possibly highlight knowledge they haven’t specifically asked you about.

In this vein, don’t forget that logs usually exist, and if they don’t you can often enable debugging. When something’s going wrong the first question I usually try to answer is “what’s the error message?” There isn’t always one, but if there is, knowing it can be a big help.

ETA: Most technical interviewers recognize that the average candidate will need some training for their specific environment, especially for junior positions. They’re looking for trainability, critical thinking, and troubleshooting skills. You may not be well versed in the specific tool they use for, e.g., configuration management, but if you demonstrate an understanding of the concept, that will show them that you can be easily trained to meet their specific needs.

I enjoyed High Tension.

I’ve seen a bunch that are really good, but I’ll add a couple:

BLT. Simple and so so good.

Toastie, or grilled cheese. Couple of ways to punch the is up. Use a thick cut crusty bread. Include some Branson Pickle. I learned about this in London, and it’s amazing. My mom used to make a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. Either way, or just a plain old grilled cheese is pretty good.

The black rye Schlotzkie’s used to use for this sandwich was so good.

That one and G Gordon Liddy. I especially liked in one of the later Liddy episodes where he said he doesn’t like doing more than 3 or 4 because it gets monotonous, but that Liddy’s life was so bonkers that he just couldn’t decide what to cut!

I’ve migrated petabytes from one GPFS file system to another. More than once, in fact. I’ve also migrated about 600TB of data from D3 tape format to 9940.

True, I was mainly responding to folks talking about banks going under and people “losing everything.” The FDIC was specifically set up to avoid that happening again.

FDIC would get the test of its lifetime, but for sure the government would step in to protect the market. Some level of that would come from taxpayers’ pockets.

Similar with the US FDIC:

The FDIC is primarily funded through assessments, which are insurance premiums paid by FDIC-insured institutions. These assessments are based on the balance of insured deposits and the risk posed by each bank. Additionally, the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund is invested in U.S. Treasury securities, earning interest that supplements the premiums paid by banks.

They should really use a photo of an NFL team for their article about something the NFL is looking to do. You know, rather than West Virginia University.

Not saying to not have fun while you’re young. By all means, go for it. Just pointing out that a small amount of savings when you’re young pays off much more over time. If you wait, you’ll spend your later years catching up!

I have two that I always say:

Take care of your teeth. They’re the only set you get. Also they don’t tell you this when you’re young, but all dental care is either preventative or reactionary. They can’t actually “fix” problems. If you have a cavity, that starts you down a road that ends with a crown or implant. Use any dental insurance you have religiously, pay for a good toothbrush (Oral-B or SoniCare), learn to floss properly and do it all every single day.

Second, save now as much as you are able. If you can adhere to it, look into the 50-30-20 rule. One thing it took me too long to learn is, given an otherwise living income, you won’t miss money you don’t see. When savings is automatically deposited from your paycheck, it’s out of sight and mind.

Lastly, just be yourself, and be a good person to those around you.

Ah shit. That was weird. This post was near the casual conversation sub. Sorry about that.

ETA: thanks for the upvote to whoever appreciated my lack of sanity!
