I deleted when I heard they were levying an inactivity fee in Canada.

I don’t live in Canada, but that was a shit move.

Worse, they fall to 83rd for life expectancy at age 65. That’s what really counts for most of us.

Hmm.

Never really looked into it before.

Now I downloaded it.

Google’s strategy seems to have backfired, in my case.

Over the past few months, we’ve been accelerating our ability to execute outstandingly, make faster decisions, and realize our multi-product ambitions.

Barf.

This is always the question that trips me up.

I’m 5 years younger than OP. I work in a municipal transportation power system job (we maintain and control the grid for trains, trolleys, etc.). I’m sure I’m wasting all sorts of effort in my professional life. I have time. I got a lot out of learning Power Automate. However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don’t know what’s reasonable.

I don’t know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I’d just be bashing my head against the wall. I don’t know if they’re laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.

Pretty snappy. I’ve been frustrated with my current app, wunderground. A million years ago, they were great.

I just read a comic about metrics becoming goals…

I appreciate your example language. That sounds like it could be a direct quote!

Thanks for that. Really cool stuff.

“Aluminum oxynitride ceramics have been around since the 1980s, so it’s not new stuff by any means.”

Says it costs 5X the price of standard bulletproof glass, but that it’s far stronger, and IR-transparent. Cool material.

Yeah. Environmentalism, workers rights, social justice. Totally Milei’s core issues /s.

I do.

Additionally, if your dash goes dark, your tail lights/brake lights are likely dead.

Password manager. Now if I could just get Google to purge all my old passwords, that would be great.

I just went through yesterday and killed a couple of these. Unfortunately, Airbnb retained my photo after I pulled the permission.

I think the main source of confusion in this actually comes down to the conjugation of read.

Read and lead should be conjugated the same, but they aren’t. Add to that all the additional homophones and homonyms and yeah. I wouldn’t jump on anyone for screwing this up.

It’s one of those things. Common errors are sometimes specific to native or to second-language speakers.

Quite often, in written Spanish, you’ll see b/v errors from native Spanish speakers, but never from English speakers (because the sounds are different in English). We’re far more likely to confuse vowels, diacritical marks, and conjugation.

I believe this is the same issue with the other comment, taking what I wrote as a specific solution to a specific problem.

This issue of getting the police called is emblematic of a problem that dark-skinned people have, where they’re considered to be inappropriate for natural areas.

What I was getting at is that there are specific rural areas, with unhinged residents and poor policing, where no outsider should go. If I choose to go, I should expect to provide my own personal protection. Those locations would be vastly multiplied if I had dark skin, to the point that it might become more expedient to just always carry.

I’m certainly not saying it would be appropriate for anyone to arm themselves while hiking in the Alps, or when dealing with police or benign racism.

No. The resolution of this specific circumstance in this specific location is not what I mean by this shit.

By this shit I mean the general danger of being the wrong color in nature.

In Europe, there’s nearly zero chance of running into serious, life-threatening, interpersonal trouble on a hike, no matter your color. That is less certain in parts of the United States.

20-some years ago I lived in a precarious situation in the back of an old Black Panther karate dojo (I know). Newly-minted urban white boy that I was, it was, culturally, quite a learning experience.

I remember one of the guys (an outdoorsman from Louisiana) told me that he was always armed when he went hiking or camping. I didn’t get it at the time, but now I do. It wasn’t bears or mountain lions he was afraid of. It was this shit.
