    OK seeing all the sleep talk, this is something I can speak to. I also have dealt with sleeping issues on and off for years (since I worked night shift for close to a decade in my 20's). Some observations : Yes, stress is obviously a big player here. When I am having stressful times at work...

    This reminds me of the greatness of what we had in Dallas which was called IIRC "First Saturday" The idea was essentially an open air flea market for computer stuff and technology and associated "all that entails" for the first Saturday of each month. It was at Ross and 75 on the edge of...

    Yes, except that Musk has also initiated a huge "insourcing" and "in-office" movement. This would indicate to me that he would have whatever moderation with a pulse staffed at the HQ, not remote contractors. I do agree that he will push for a far more leaning agnostic automated moderation to...

    I don't think this is a surprise to a single person.... Makes every bit of business sense in the world. As I joked before, let's see what the content moderation looks like when it's a bunch of rural folks from central Texas manning the consoles.

    Histamine system in your body cycles about every 7 years, that's usually when you gain/lose allergies. As a kid I had an allergy list a damn mile long. Lost most of them by the time I was 15. Around the time I was 22-23 lost most of the rest. Only things left I know I'm allergic to are...

    And in a nutshell you have just encapsulated one of the myriad of reasons that no matter how much it's "just how things work now" I plan on NEVER living anywhere where an HOA has any dominion over my home, let alone I "owe" it dues for the privledge of them bossing me around.

    In the 50's it was common to do "pier and beam" Where you'd have rectangles of piers set deep into the soil (preferrably to bedrock) and then beams of concrete over them making rectangles. Then you'd do wood joists across and floor on top, a little like this : My grandparents house, built in...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yes, but to do that they would need to hack my credentials, and wouldn't actually need the card (like Amazon). In this case they get the card, so it would be that they would put it into some new website that I don't have it registered to, or it would come across as a new account number using...

    That is not a bad idea at all. But at least some of the ass beating is diffused. Seems that Chase cancelled the card itself, but can differentiate and not cancel the websites and automatic payments. Then it also has a capacity to update the card info at a disturbingly large number of the...
