I get this question a lot, since my wife and I always vote in person. The place where we vote is right around the corner from us, a 2 minute walk. We go mid morning and there’s never a line. It’s just more fun for us, kind of a tradition. The same poll workers have been there for several years and it’s always nice to see them.

As microscopically unimportant as our two votes are in the big picture, they are still important to us.

If I still lived in some of the places I did in the past, I would definitely mail it in. Those places always had a long wait.

Looks like you’re right. They may have updated this since I last tried it.

Fastmail lets you create masked email addresses. They are randomized and can’t be linked to your main account. Great way to track who sells your email to spammers. You can create a new masked email for each temporary need and tag it. You can also disable them individually, so you stop receiving mail for that fake sddress.

Post doesn’t follow Rule 1. Please update the title of the post.

Sometimes (infrequently) I’ll take a magnesium pill, and that will help me go back to sleep. Or, I’ll go read in another dimly lit room for about 20 minutes and then return to the bedroom go back to sleep.

But, once in a while, I’ll feel creative at 4am and just get up and do something (write, code, whatever) until it’s time to get ready for work. I’m an early bird out of decades of routine, but wish I could be a night owl. I love how quiet it is at night.

Resign, then offer them consulting on it for $300/hour.

Can OP (or anyone) provide a legitimate source for this?

From what I can find, Amazon and its partners do dynamic pricing (based on various algorithms) but I can find no evidence / source that it does personalized individualized pricing.

IOW, dynamic pricing is not done at the individual shopper level, but can be based on many variables like lightning deals, sudden spikes in demand, inventory issues (over supply / under supply) and various other factors which are not related to the individual shopper.

Anecdotal evidence is interesting, but not persuasive.

I assume it’s c) other: You’re trying to keep lemmies talking, which is appreciated. 🙂

The Dude abides.

In addition to “Survival Mode” I’ve also heard this called “Crisis Management”. Not sure if that’s what you were looking for.

Streamlight makes some simple on/off models. Like the Streamlight Microstream 66323. Very bright for its small size.

Thank you, this is the sort of thing I was trying to point out. And I love how he ignored all my other points just to focus on this one ISO or installer he’s using over and over again to “prove” that he’s right.

Funny part is, I never said it was the default in the original post anyway. The whole point is, if it’s turned on, you may want to turn it off.

First of all I believe you are incorrect.

You’re doing a single anecdotal “test” from (I assume) one copy of the installation media. News flash, not all installation images of Windows 11 are the same.

And I will answer your anecdotal evidence with some anecdotal evidence of my own: almost every friend and coworker I’ve asked about this says Autoplay is on. And when I check Google or ChatGPT, they confirm that a fresh install of Windows 11 will have it on by default. So…I guess everyone else is wrong about this but you’re right about every installation of Windows 11.

Secondly, your question ignores the fact that people should probably check to see if it’s on. It can get turned on accidentally or even by an update. Microsoft is constantly messing arbitrarily with user preferences and settings with their weekly updates. You do know that, right?

Finally, you posted some version of this same reply multiple times in this thread. Why? Are you just doing that to “get upvotes for fun”?

BTW, there’s no karma on lemmy…upvotes don’t matter.

It’s fine to correct someone, but first do a better job of checking your methodology, and second, don’t assume their motivations for trying to share helpful info.

Think of it as a seatbelt. You don’t plan on crashing your car, but shit happens. It’s even possible a brand new USB drive from a “reputable” company could have something on it.

Fastmail is pretty great, and it lets you create masked email addresses for throwaway purposes if you need one.

I speculate in many cases, suicide bombers are supplied with their equipment by a sponsoring organization, and don’t build it themselves. Obviously, some of them (like the lone wolf types) do make their own. Someone who is knowledgeable with explosives might be too valuable to sacrifice in the attack. Whereas almost anyone can deploy the weapon, it doesn’t take much skill.

Very few sane people want to hold office. The truth of the job is that it’s almost nonstop fundraising. The system is intentionally broken to keep money in power.

Much smaller user base, distributed servers, modern code (versus reddit’s ancient code), less enshittification in the code (reddit’s various manipulative algorithms).

You’re right. Here in 2024 your version is more likely than mine.

View source worked for me, but there’s a couple of tricks to it I think…maybe.

First I made sure I was on the channel’s main page and not one of the channel’s videos. Then I did right-click “view source”. The source is all smashed together (unformatted) of course. It’s annoying to search and read like that, so I copy-pasted the source into my favorite text editor and was able to find “channelid” it that way.
