When unsure of what the Captcha is trying to learn from me, I find “Kill all humans.” is a pretty good guess what the Captcha is really after.

Bosch has a lot of goodwill. Interesting how they decide to spend it. Also Consumer Reports needs to start considering Internet connectivity, because the risks from Internet connected dishwashers are real and scary.

Yeah. And, in fairness, as a non-pirate, I read along here for tips and tricks to get a non-shit streaming experience out of my home hosted hardware.

If I could still pay for a non-shit streaming experience, I would just do that.

That sounds like a good approach. If you can get the posts into WordPress, there’s so many scripts out there that will export the WordPress database into other formats.

If Subnautica 2 delivers on the multi player co-op, I could see it joining my primary LAN party rotation. Exciting stuff.

I find it hard to beat Markor (available on F-Droid) for quick journaling on a phone.

It has quick keys for instant open note files and todolist files, and has customizable (and reorderable) buttons, including an available button that inserts the current date with one touch.

So in your shoes I would pull the quick date button to the start of the toolbar, and add dream logs to the Quick Note every morning.

So then the taps are:

1. Open Markor
2. Tap Quick Note
3. Tap Insert Date (looks like clock)

Then type in dream notes.

4. Tap ‘Save’.

One of your implied questions is, “Can I get a reliable vehicle from around 2015 and spend less than $414 monthly, combined, on loan interest and repairs?”

To which I say, “probably”. I’ve bought cars that meet those requirements, for my definition of “reliable”. But your needs may vary.

I will say, financing a car is among the top unnecessary “stupid taxes” that I have paid, in hindsight.

Now that I don’t have car payments, I’ve found that ~$414 per month chucked into a savings account can buy a surprisingly decent car surprisingly quickly.

And having no car payment feels like I imagine having a rich uncle must feel like.

(not my meme, but I’ll add) Some missing context - Professor Chang, pictured in the meme - is also shouting at something that clearly isn’t gay.

Professor Chang is essentially a continuous uncomfortable non-sequiter of nonsense.

As a hiring manager, I hear “my position is a one year contract” fairly regularly. It tells me a couple things:

• 1. This person is talent I wouldn’t have access to if not for the expiring contract.
• 2. There’s a solid chance that the current employer gets off their ass and makes a permanent offer when they realize I’ve made an offer.

Honestly, neither is a negative, to me.

• Regarding 1, I do like when I get a shot at talent that wouldn’t normally be on the market. I have a track record of successfully recruiting and retaining those folks.
• Regarding 2, Knowing there’s a chance their current employer will counter-offer is pretty normal for the talent I hire. I already account for that when making my job offers.

So overall, as others have said, I would just tell the truth about this. Everyone has a right to look out for their job security.

Neat. I don’t use Google products voluntarily, but good luck!

In my experience

That’s great, and that’s why it’s an option.

But research consistently shows that everyone is different and has different learning needs.

More ways to learn means more people succeed in learning.

Now your specific question is still quite interesting, with emphasis added to default:

Why it is not the default option for universities?

I think online is rapidly becoming the default for anything that can be learned online, for anyone who can learn online.

But I’m thankful that we have both community colleges and universities for things that cannot be effectively taught online and for people who needs more modes of learning.

Im not sure what is going to happen when I have kids

For me, it went like this:

• I’m afraid I’ll drop or hurt this tiny helpless child.
• But this tiny helpless child can’t even go drink milk by itself.
• I guess I can only make things better helping it get milk. I’ll just be really careful.
• That wasn’t so bad. I guess I can do this.

Then repeat in stages every 15 minutes or so as it needs diapers, or cuddles to warm up, or cleaned, or milk again, or diapers again.

Until eventually I’m confidently picking it up in a moment of complete terror so that it won’t run out into traffic.

The Planet of the Apes musical.

This one threw my head for a spin. Had to take a deep dive to disentangle what was original and what the Simpsons added.

And frankly, some of the Simpsons musical numbers would have done the original films credit.

You’ll laugh!.You’ll cry! You’ll kiss three bucks goodbye!

…Maybe I’m the plucky comic relief…

Yeah! The wild part is that many hardcore Trek fans - myself included, of course - just take it for granted that Galaxy Quest will be included, and toward the top end, of any ranking of Trek films.

The EPA’s announcement on Wednesday that it would find the narrowest possible definition of the word “water” for regulatory purposes was just one of dozens of ways it plans to attack environmental protections during Trump’s second term in office. Supposedly meant to spark some sort of “Great American Comeback,” these actions would mainly bring back an era of poisoned skies and waters while hurting the very economy they’re supposed to help.

Holy fuck. How is anyone supposed to treat that as anything other than open class warfare? This doesn’t even have the decency pretend to give a shit.

It’s mind boggling.

Are they all sterile? Are their children all absolute abominable pieces of shit who they deeply hate? Are they simply sociopaths? Or they’re deluding themselves that their kids and grandkids aren’t going to suffer from this crap as well as mine…

Yes. Elon has a private jet which we can all track through Mastodon, in spite of Elon’s attempts to silence it.

The important thing is that we all should have to be submitted to degrading invasive sex organ checks at the airport. It’s only reasonable that the government know exactly which bits we have and how we use them. (This is sarcasm.)

Keating replied, “You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.” Self then adjourned the hearing.

Good for him, standing up for a colleage and due process, too.

If the government feels the need to recognize what’s in our pants, the government needs reninded exactly where our boundaries lie.

What’s in my pants is whatever the fuck I tell them is in my pants.
