On the other hand, do you really need 50x VGA cables? yes? YES?! ok, as you were! Keep them in the ever growing box. The idea of grouping by same or at least like is great for de-cluttering.

Depends. Is this for work? If so then QA, verification and similar tasks of a senior looking after juniors. They're book-smart and all that jazz but they're still juniors.

Why would doing something or taking action be dumbing down? You are bristling with something like anger but it has nothing to do with what I wrote. I'm off to go hiking. There are thousands of stars out there.

I asked Amazon for help with my account. They couldn't figure out the URL to get me where I needed to go. They said they needed to escalate. The question was definitely not complicated. They wanted to call me asking questions. Meanwhil

I routinely used to compile C programs on other compilers to find defects that one or another didn't find. Compiling on Windows vs Linux. You could summarize / minimize it down to compiling it with warning as errors etc but you&#x

Modern audiences are expected to be glued to twelve different things at once. Producers are being told to adjust to this reality. Watch any movie now and they are all compensating for the distracted audience. Movies used to be watched in a

I remember traveling 1000km for work. On the radio I heard of trips to where I lived. They were all prizes for some competition. I realized that my home was someone else's destination and my current place was where people from home&#x2

If there's a schedule to your tiredness then can probably reschedule it. This is a lesson I've discovered to good effect. [Side note: 2-3pm is probably due to food/glucose/insulin levels - its worth investigating] Don&#x

really? I mean there's this little book company called Amazon who will let you use their interweb computers for a few dollars per hour. They'll sell you coffee as well.

Yes. winget install ICURAIDI0TFU seemed unsuitable for production. winget install 8NDEADBEEF9N offended some. winget install 0%U#I#$#$$## had too much hash and blow for some US states. winget install python3.11 was too obvious. No?

Conceptually its doable on linux and ipv6. Have the listening program sit on that default port of 80. Something involving socat, an any-IP / TCP routing rule, a VPS or other machine with a ipv6 /64 and plenty of duct-tape. You&#x2

I don't think queues like this are a panacea but they are a good idea. They buy time. That's the whole point. Time to respond. Time for a paper trail. Time to investigate. Time to cancel. Have a normal path, eg days, a week or mor
