Must be the German equivalent of “nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE”

Definitely easier if you can plan it in advance.

What do you do if you have a horse that dies or has to be put down? You call your neighbor down the road who has an excavator and ask him to dig you a horse sized hole. Then you bury it. If you don’t, you won’t want to leave your house for at least a week.

Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

That’s the real danger in my opinion. Trump is probably a malignant narcissist. Everything he does, he does for himself and his very thin skinned ego. This is sort of balanced out but he fact that he’s a moron and is easily manipulated. But, there are people right on his coat tails who are straight up malevolent and do things because they enjoy watching others suffer.

As bad as Trump is, it may get much worse after he’s gone and leaves a crater sized power vacuum in the GOP.

There are usually way more polling locations open on election day than during early voting. They set up polling at churches, schools, and community centers all over.

During early voting I have to go to the courthouse which is in the next town over. There aren’t any polling places in my city.

“Look at how much we’re winning! So much winning!” Frantically screams country currently seeking assistance from North Korea for a “three day special military operation” which is now in its third year.

It’s a hammer and It’s always on top of the ladder I’m about to move.

Before getting diagnosed I would routinely drink at least a pot (maybe two) of coffee throughout the day to stay motivated and probably three mixed drinks at the minimum after dinner to slow down the “inner restlessness.”

Not a healthy lifestyle at all.

Somewhere in the North Korean constitution

“South Korea = Hostile State Hostile State”

^Look everybody! They’ve redefined South Korea as a “hostile state”!

Oh wait, nobody cares.

Support your local newspaper. Especially if they value quality journalism over quantity.

Completely agree. It’s honestly shameful that a nation of our wealth and status is willing to accept one of the worst healthcare systems in the developed world. You need not look further than rural America to see that a big chunk of the “system” is on the verge of collapse.

I am also incensed that so many people seem to not have insurance. One thing I can say, is that I have never had a problem paying for generic or name brand, because my insurance covers it.

Guilty as charged. Currently at a career crossroads and don’t have insurance. Have to pharmacy shop a lot depending on who has the best price with a Good Rx coupon.

My Psychiatrist that I’ve been seeing for years now is retiring at the end of the year. Good ones are very hard to find and I’m not looking forward to it.

The whole process is a joke in the US as well. Since stimulants are a controlled substance, you have to have a new prescription every month AND you have to wait exactly 30 days to fill it at which point every pharmacy in town will jerk you around for a couple days until you finally find one that:

A.) Actually has your medication. Not says they have it on the phone and then “Oppsie! We lied. We don’t actually have it. We do have the name brand that’s 3 times as expensive.”

B.) Will actually fill it instead of telling you they’ll fill it only to backpedal when you go to pick it up because of some bullshit policy.

C.) Will fill it without whining at you, “cAn YoU pLeAsE sEnD yOuR OtHeR pReScRiPtIoNs hErE toO sO wErE FiLlInG mOrE tHaN jUsT yOuR StImUlAnTs??”

Apparently we somehow still have a shortage of Vyvanse (and the generic)?

Also, Fuck CVS in particular. How they manage to run a pharmacy worse than Walmart and still stay in business is beyond me.

PSA

If you have been sexually assaulted or abused by someone, please tell somebody. Preferably the police, but if not them then tell someone else that you trust. I know this is a huge ask. I know you want to completely erase it from your memory. I know that doing this means unleashing a shit storm that you can never undo. I know it’s going to dredge up all kinds of pain. I know it might permanently reshape your life. I know it’s going to be incredibly hard. It’s probably going to take courage that you’re not even sure you have.

The reason I’m asking you to do this is because there’s a really good chance that the person who did this to you has done it before or will do it again. YOU may be the only thing standing between the perpetrator and their next victim. The fact that it happened to you is terrible and I’m so sorry for that. But you have the power to help make sure what happened to you doesn’t happen to anyone else. So please tell someone because you might very well be the hero, that you needed, for someone else. There are few things in life more honorable than that.

The benefit of splitting services between VM’s is the same as it always has been: I can break one service without breaking ALL of them. Containers are an improvement over native installs but they do not solve this problem completely.

Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.

You know, I would bet there’s tens of thousands of Russians that would be interested in having children if they didn’t all have a case of unnecessary deadness. If only something could have been done to avoid that.

Ah Manage Engine. Lots of full featured products that are roughly 75% complete.

The kind of place where “backups” means playing Russian Roulette with one set of old ass tapes, if you’re lucky.
