Reminds me of the time I was at a security conference. Obviously there was a lot of networking going on and a group of people I was talking to decided to connect on linkedin. They were sharing the qr code thing from the app and I said I didn’t have it. At first they thought I wasn’t on linkedin (and were baffled at that), and I had to clarify I HAVE an account but I don’t have the app on my phone. They were confused and I had to explain how much info the app wants to grab. And this was at an application security conference.

On the other hand, some businesses would rather offload the manpower, maintenance, and risk to a service provider instead of doing it on-prem by themselves. Really depends on the business though.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a new car in 2025 that doesn’t have steering wheel controls unless you go out of your way to look for one (if there is any).
- Comment on Your boomer parents after giving you the most outdated job-seeking advice of your fucking life [Day 86] 2 days ago:
Mine was even though they were already retired. Tbf I was only working for 2 years at the time so I was still getting job advice. It was basically “try to work in government so you get a good pension when you retire”, even though the private sector equivalent jobs were paying double.

There are buttons on the steering wheel to skip songs and adjust the volume.

I’m actually a fan of big screens, HOWEVER they should be limited to being an actual “infotainment” system only. All essential controls should be buttons, switches, and dials.

Yup, I’m definitely looking into upgrading to a proper hood fan in the near future.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 3 days ago:
Our new-build house came with a gas stove+oven. Our overhead microwave does vent to the outside of the house so hopefully it helps a bit. The worst part is the oven’s vents face the front, so the fumes literally go up to your face if you’re standing in front of it. So when we use the oven, we try to keep distance and hope the the microwave vent sucks up as much fumes as possible.

Too lazy to turn on my irrigation system. I drained it 2 weeks ago in preparation for the deep freeze last week. Homes in my state aren’t built for freezing weather so we have to drain our irrigation lines and drip faucets anytime it gets below freezing.

I have to admit there are 2 ai-made music stuff that I like - the one with the bugs playing death metal, and the one that converts social media roasts into songs. But that’s about it.

“Calm and boring days” is definitely underrated. When you’re an adult with daily responsibilities, it’s almost impossible to have ab extended period, let alone an entire day, where there is nothing that comes up that needs to be done.

I’m mildly lactose intolerant and recently discovered I have the least issues with Andy’s Frozen Custard, so I’ve stopped going to DQ since last year.

For such a large org, they did not have 2-party review/approval for high risk changes prior to this incident. You’d think there would be at least review and approval before a change is implemented.

I was sad to hear that it shut down. I was just about to consider uploading my music there. Unfortunately I don’t have the resources to host it on my own so couldn’t really contribute on that end.

As I get older, I noticed that around 50% of the time, if I have a slight headache, or don’t feel right or comfy for no reason (i.e. not sick), it’s because I need to poop. Even if I thought I was done for the day, sometimes there’s just some that remains that when I go for that last round, I’m suddenly 100% feeling ok and fresh.
