Confirmation of anecdotes or gut feelings is still science. At some point you need data rather than experience to help people and organizations change their perception (see: most big tech companies lighting billions of dollars on fire on generative AI).

Believe me it’s better to be ignorant about this…

My dog growing up was super picky about what human food she would eat. Depending on how something was cooked (even when cooled down) she would flat out deny it (boiled chicken she would eat around or take out of her bowl)

My current dog is less picky but there’s still some foods he can safey have that he’ll spit out. Like he loves oranges but hates apples, cucumber he thinks is gross but broccoli is good.

I think a lot of dogs actually do have their preferences about what tastes good to them much like people. I guess most of the dogs in my family are “spoiled” in they get human food as a treat on a semi-regular basis.

My dog growing up hated kibble and we’d have to cook her something to eat (again spoiled). My current dog doesn’t mind kibble (but he’s very food motivated) but absolutely wants you to share with him what your eating, even if he’s going to spit it out because he doesn’t like it.

Or… They do what they did last time the lifetime was cut down from 3-10 years down to 395 days… Just issue you a new certificate when the old one runs out and up to whatever the time period you bought it for…?

Let’s Encrypt isn’t the only CA to use ACME, you can auto renew with basically any CA that implemented it (spoiler: most of them have)

I’ve been using this to automatically skip ads on my Chromecasts (youtube ads and in video segments) for the past year.

It’s literally sponsor block but for all of my Chromecasts

I give it less than a week before someone has code for this exact feature in QMK. It won’t be as detectable as looking for “Is using Razer Keyboard”.

You must be new on the internet…

I mean I have a greyhound who can countersurf, you just put baby gates around the kitchen and food. Keeping stuff out of snoot height/range removes most issues.

Part of it is training them that it isn’t an appropriate thing to do. It usually helps that if they behave (and we’re eating something the pup can safely have) they get a bit of food as a treat.

Training is a must and especially with a dog that big you need to make sure they know what is expected and appropriate. Doing that sets them up for success and makes it much easier to care for them overall.

That’s correct, NHTSA required it federally on May 1st 2018. I may have mixed up some local laws or regulations that happened in 2015 (when I bought my last car they mentioned that all their cars were required to have backup cameras)

You’re aware that by law most cars after like 2015 2018 have to have a backup camera in the US right?

If it is broken they are literally breaking the law by not fixing it.

Yes, you can have your mirrors and rearview but the camera removes your blindspots that those miss (you know things like a small child that is behind your vehicle). It’s a critical safety feature that is broken and needs to be fixed.

edit: NHTSA required it in 2018 not 2015, Canada probably has similar laws on the books too

I’m not a huge fiction person in general, most of the books I read are textbooks/technical manuals or other non-fiction.

Some documentaries are fine, it’s highly variable based on the subject matter and how much the director tried to make it “movie-like”.

I’m not a fan of music most of the time, I only really listen to it when I’m exercising. It’s basically to set the vibe for my brain.

However I do play role playing games quite a bit, which for some reason my brain has decided is not boring.

Podcasts though, make my brain release that sweet, sweet, dopamine drip… I listened to something like 52 days worth of podcasts last year? Again most of the topics are the same as the books I read.

I do consulting, so podcasts fill the void between meetings, if I need to taking a break, or as an escape hatch so if I have a particularly hellish client, I don’t fire them.

I don’t particularly like having “free time”. If I’m not being productive, my brain goes “Ah, I see we decided on depression as our option. Magnificent choice sir!” I basically have to scratch a particular itch my brain wants me to scratch to maintain my mental health.

Which is partly why I’m in consulting, it scratches that itch and I get paid so it’s kinda a good gig.

What about someone who truly does not enjoy watching TV or movies?

I understand I’m in a very small minority. However watching TV shows or movies doesn’t interest me at all.

Watching TV or Movies to me is like having stare at a blank wall for 3 hours and forced notice how the faint cracks on the paint spider along it for the entire time. Afterwards I’m supposed to feel like it changed my life or it was somehow an enjoyable experience.

It’s absolutely not my cup of tea.

I don’t hate anyone for enjoying them either. I’ll listen to friends or family talk about things they watch. I enjoy seeing how much they enjoyed watching it. It just doesn’t interest me in the slightest.

If you for some reason need to reset your password or do something else with the account.

You still have control over it using those services and there’s no chance of the free account getting reaped for inactivity and getting locked out. Sure creating a new Gmail account works, I just like having more control (and fewer passwords to deal with) using those services.

It’s also really nice to be able to use it to detect if a breach occurred because the email is unique to the service. Having the ability to make burner emails that are unique but owned by you and able to be toggled on and off helps me control what stuff hits my inbox. It also helps with privacy and preventing tracking as every site has its own unique address.

Once I started using those services I never give out my real email anymore. I don’t care if something asks for my email, I can just make a new unique email for everything and if you start spamming me it gets turned off until I need to deal with that service again. But having one inbox to check makes it simple to actually use those accounts since everything just goes into my true email.

Just my 2¢

Something like addy.io or simple login would let you create a unique email address that you can turn off and on as needed. No chance for spam, completely unique as to be able to remove the ability to track you elsewhere on the web.

It is arbitrary. While what classification a substance is may have some grounding in research, it’s mostly up to what interest group has either lobbied to get something under or whatever group law enforcement wants to be able to get easy charges for. Cannabis was Sched I because it made it easy for law enforcement to get big sentences for minorities and the counter culture participants of the day. Same thing with LSD and psilocybin.

All the DEA scheduling is just pick and choose your charge for whatever ideological ax they want to grind. Hence why things don’t line up with reality

Love me some house cows!
