What about the unlabelled grey "dread zone" between the pacific and midwest areas? That's accurate, right?

Guy tried to enlist the boss's brother in law to falsify work. "We don't have to walk all the way up the mountainside to do the work, the client will never check it". Then he went home, leaving said brother in law to do all the work by himself.

A week after getting fired, he called the boss about the performance bonus that was promised at the start of the contract.

Depends on the games you like. It won't perform well at 4k, or with newer FPS titles. Most games should be playable at low-medium quality settings.

My first vehicle was a 1971 Ford 3/4 ton. It was extremely reliable and tough. Having sat for most of the previous 30 years in a barn, it even looked good.

But it had all of the safety features of 1971. Power brakes the would lock up and throw you off the road if you more than thought about braking. Lap belts and a solid steel steering wheel to smash your teeth on. If you somehow hit the steering wheel hard enough to break it, you'd be impaled on the steel pipe steering column. Speaking of the steering, it didn't have power steering, so if you hit a rut on a rough road, the steering wheel would spin out of control. You had to just let go of it until it stopped spinning lest it break your thumbs. Also, the gas tank was inside the cab behind the seat for extra car crash fun.

It was a beautiful death trap. I kinda wish I could have put it back into a barn for another 30 years instead of selling it.

Or maybe 13,500 miles. But what's a few zeros between friends?

/sbin is like /bin, but for system administrative type commands. /usr holds all the other software that isn't critical to get the system up and running.

A device file is a special file that's like a pointer to a piece of actual hardware, like a serial port or a hard drive. /dev also has some non-hardware special files like /dev/zero. When you read from that one, you get an endless stream of zeros. Or /dev/null, that discards any data that's written to it.

Also, unless you're one of those people who legitimately doesn't care if food tastes good or not, learn to cook. You don't have to be good a cooking everything, but develop a repertoire of food that is healthy and you like to eat.

The age where you could depend on a wife to be a good cook for you are long past.

And that's why you should never pull an unconscious person out of a fire. QED.

As a non-American, it's crazy to me that there (apparently) aren't any safe storage laws enforced. Would it really infringe people's gun rights to require that all firearms may only be in a safe, in your hands, or on your person (in a holster, sling, etc.)?

At least some of the app developers have realized that if they develop for Postgres they get to keep the Sql Server licensing costs for themselves. Windows server licensing costs too, if they're clever.

Unfortunately the old janky enterprise shit will probably never get updated. You know the ones. The ones that think they're new and hip because they support SSO (Radius only)
