I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

It depends a LOT on where you are. In the USA, Canada, and (I think) Mexico, such a thing is not possible, at least in any way that the services you mentioned will care.

It might be possible in places where phone numbers don’t have a fixed length, like (again, I think) Germany.

Malt-O-Meal - Good stuff Maynard

When it comes to refried beans, “too many” or “too much” are both incorrect. The correct construction is “may I have some more please?”

Usually just a small amount of food is enough, but your pharmacist should talk to you the first time you fill the prescription and tell you if more is necessary

You should be able to to settings then focus then whichever focus you’re working on. Inside there you’ll see categories for people and apps. List any contacts and apps that you want notifications from during that focus. All others should be silenced

It’s a neat idea but it looks like the company doesn’t have the resources to create decent hardware to carry it out

You can sorta get close with MVNOs like Tello. I have a plan that’s $6.16/month, including taxes.

AVA/NHI: asshole vs asshole, no humans involved.

No matter who wins here, everyone loses

I ignored mine for over a decade and it quietly turned itself from grass into a naturally low-growing ground cover that looks like clover. It never needs watering and the only mowing needed is to chop down the stray weed here and there. It’s quite nice.

Edit: I should add that the plant that took over is native to the area.

Persistent object ooze prevention? Yes, that’s a solved problem.

They are humorous IETF standards published on 1 April over the years. These are specifically about implementing internet protocols using carrier pigeons instead of more traditional media like wires or optical fiber.

You are absolutely correct. If your network supports IPv6, 6214 is definitely a requirement

RFC 2549 is such an important improvement over RFC 1149. Everyone should adopt the updated standard.

Even Oracle, a company that funds OpenOffice and has its own proprietary fork of it, doesn’t use it internally. Oracle internal laptops come with libre office installed.

The company had moved to a model where the vendors owned the stock, for the most part. That’s why they had no going out of business sale and it’s also why they never had a damned thing in stock, since very few vendors seemed to be interested in doing business (with Fry’s) that way.

This is just speculation, but the last 5-10 years of Fry’s lifespan felt kinda like some kind of money laundering scheme. There’s no way in hell they were making any money on retail sales, so something else was keeping the zombie alive.

That should never be used anywhere, ever.

That’s awesome!

Nerdy fact: a gargoyle is only a gargoyle if it’s there for drainage from a roof or other architectural feature. If it’s just decorative, it’s a grotesque or just a plain old statue.
