The nice thing about some battery backup is not keeping it running during an outage, but safely shutting it all down.

I agree on the laptop battery, I’m just disagreeing on battery backup. It serves a purpose, as does decent surge elimination.

Well yeah, that’s half the fun

Or a fully themed, punctuation inspire flick. Named “character” to let you fill in the blanks.

Char 1: Well what do you think Mark?

Char 2: Are you sure she can handle it, Point?

Char 1: Its time we’ve shown

Char 2: our true power…

Together: As Interrobang!

Char 3: No wait, I’ve got my per…

… OK it needs to be reworked, but you get the idea.

Oh that’s unfortunate, thats not how they run things here. I haven’t been in a while, but its more like a bunch of DMs and everyone gets randomly assigned to a table. Games are 30 minutes, and then rotating tables. Its more about trying out some different games than anything else.

They did have a separate night they’d host, but those were reserved rooms (like a conference room setup, TV available for map display). More like a night for regular players to have a regular space to play, but its kind of obvious (with the reserved signs on the rooms and all).

There’s a hobby/ttrpg store nearby that hosted game nights every week. They’d try out a new game.

There wasn’t a big crowd, but went out wife my wife to dinner and there were definitely people chatting from different groups at the bar. Dont know if they knew each other though, its not that big of a city.

I think there are still places to go, its just harder for a lot of people to go out. Even my wife and I, we haven’t had a dinner just us in a few years (kids).

I’m not sure you should have a Lowe’s Associate as a legal advisor.

Here’s Home Depot covering it

The relevant text:

Corded blinds are dangerous to children and pets. Roughly one child per month dies from blind cord strangulation, and more than 600 children per year are injured. That’s nearly an average of 2 preventable injuries to a child per day. Between 1990 and 2015, more than 16,000 children were injured.

New Voluntary Standards

• The Window Covering Manufacturers Association decided safer standards in January 2018.
• Manufacturers adopted the new standard on cordless blinds in December 2018.
• In 2019, all standard model window blinds were expected to be cordless.

Cordless Blinds & Law

• Corded blinds are not regulated under state or federal legislation.
• New, safer guidelines allow for cords on custom-made coverings.
• Per WCMA standards, custom cords should not be longer than 40% of the window height.

Considering our use is not to the general public, we’d be better off with an entirely different strategy.

This is one where there is a significant economic cause and effect.

People not having free time, money for activities, hobbies, etc - this impacts our ability to be social.

Yeah… I didn’t choose it, but some of the services from my employer run there. May be a good time to make some moves, we’ll see.

Not really going to be an issue I can fix obviously, but I’ll be making even more backups than normal…

They aren’t illegal to sell.

Manufacturers can’t make them any longer, existing inventory is permitted to be sold off. So they can be found on amazon, ebay, and a bunch of other places still. Just won’t see any new stock coming in, and places that have less stock (as in, not gigantic warehouses) haven’t been getting new ones in for some time. Nearly a year now I believe.

I have a feeling the big impact is going to be in other services, namely AWS. Makes me wonder if some new global outages are coming, which are always fun to deal with.

Same here (in terms of general approach, though I can’t buy generic cereal anymore, need that gluten free logo).

There was a vast difference for me in generics of omeprazole, and the first few generics of dexlansoprazole. Not as critical as an epi-pen obviously, but the delivery mechanism for pills can be so different it absolutely makes a difference.

I did not expect to get Live stuck in my head tonight, but there you go

Edit: Not a complaint BTW, I’ve owned Throwing Copper since it came out in 94

Personally I’d go with 34", but I’m an ultrawide kind of person.

I’m even considering the ridiculously wide 49" lenovo, at 5120x1440 it certainly beats the 2560x1440 and companion 1080p display I use today.

Prosecutors can amend charges, they are probably still collecting evidence to determine if they can prosecute a higher charge, which is when they’d bring in something like attempted murder.

I’m sure there is some legally restricting element like “a clear intent to kill” which would have to be demonstrated in court to have that charge stick.

Haha, that reminds me of this classic xkcd

There is nothing native (though a few options have been played with, AFAIK never completed because…), but there are a ton of integrations. You can use webhooks to teams, there are python wrappers for the API, even a google docs integration.

Probably the lowest code option would be to find someone else’s tool for snipe-it (sorry I’ve never looked), or do something like snipe it to google sheets to be imported as a CSV or something.

Or take a peek at some others in the same territory, or maybe ticketing systems with simple asset management.

But i think something like snipe-it, if not exactly, is going to be the right territory of what you’re looking for

Its about $2.6 billion per week in revenue, even by the weekly numbers its not an impact

(based on ~$135b in revenue for 2023, according to financial disclosure reports)

That’s not really what’s in there.

Its a collection of easily verifiable public statements, twitter posts, interviews, etc, of which some go against the GOP or the Trump approved messaging.

There is nothing salacious, no pictures of his good times with couches, or claims about his infatuation with drag.

Just regular background check stuff.
