funny thing, when I read stuff aloud, it's like DMA, it doesn't go through the CPU, and I can't recall what I've heard. I only retain what I read if I read it quietly
- Bob Jonkman repeated this.

Me too! I've been reading things for radio broadcast, but I have no idea what I'm saying... Concentrating too hard on reading ahead of what I'm speaking so I can do the intonation right...

Internet has been out at home for days. Getting text messages and calls. Repair person will be onsite tomorrow afternoon.

@guizzy I don't even have any TV other than the small one cor my PS4, so take this with a grain of salt, but if you plan to move within 3-4 years, I wouldn't get something too large yet. Maybe a projector is a better idea.

In tonightβs #World_Series #baseball game, the Atlanta #Braves have 5 runs, and the Houston #Astros have 1. Top/7th.

#Daddy_A found a way to make a little money from his hobby. On a per hour basis, I donβt even think heβs making $7 per hour, but for someone who has been off work for seven years, this is an exciting change.
I donβt know whether the swap meet is indoors or out, but the weather will be changing soon.

During high rainfall events, the #Los_Angeles sewers overflow the sewage processing plants and carry untreated sewage into the Pacific Ocean. There are some areas where beaches and other seaside areas have been closed to the public since the 1970s.
I am not aware of any initiative by the City or the County of Los Angeles to build sewage staging areas to mitigate this β¦ but I now live about 100 miles away, so I may have just missed it.
This is relevant because there was a heavy rain event within the past few days (possibly ongoing ... I haven't had time to check !SoCal weather)

I recently went into a certain store and sent a picture of some products to #sonTwo.
He told me how it happened.
S2: Why is my dad sending me these pictures? I don't have money to buy these things and he's just there to look.
S2's Wife: No, he's going to buy you something.
S2: No, he's just there to look. He hasn't even caught up on his bills yet.
S2W: Watch. He's going to buy you something.
A few minutes later, I called: "Can you give the clerk your shipping information?" and then put the phone on speaker.
-
Meanwhile, #sonOne is trying to plan a visit here in #NYC. He wants to time it to match my one day off, so we can see the sights of the city. I guess I'd better ride the subway a few times, so I can get to wherever the tour would start.

The current course makes reference to some political unrest and violence that took place in the late 1990s as though it were current events.
Yeah, I think this course is a little outdated.
-
Have you hit rock bottom when you're taking your $EMPLOYER's online "Drug Free Workplace" course for supervisors? Asking for a friend.
-
A third and last difference I can currently think of is that I believe TAoP leans a little bit more toward project management and TCC leans a little bit more toward software craft.
-
Mandatory training courses. Some of these were already outdated when I started working for $EMPLOYER.
-
One course (in person) even still uses a video where the characters wear brown polyester pants.
-
- Excuse me, I just want to verify ... our system says your table ordered ten plates of corn gunkan ... is that ...?
- Your records are accurate. We like corn.
-
Working from the hotel today. First thing I discovered is that ... with our "Enterprise" rules enforced, you cannot log into the #hotel's captive portal with Edge. You have to use Firefox or Internet Explorer.
We'll soon be back to distributing little hotspots for mobile access, because travellers will not be able to connect any other way.

nah, it was entirely fictional AFAIK. Eureka was the fictional city of genius inventors in the series. no amount of internal motors could enable a ball to dynamically change its weight. though mass is energy, in day-to-day life you can most often assume it's conserved, which is why I found it so creative and amusing
- Bob Jonkman repeated this.
-
Even with mass-energy equivalency, it is much easier to change mass into energy than the other way around. But as far as changing an object's *weight* by pressing a button, that should be possible. Weight is dependent on both on the mass and distance separating two (or more) objects, or the acceleration of an object. If pressing the button initiates something to accelerate that object away from another object then its weight will change...
(Note: Pedantic me has not yet watched Eureka, so I don't know how this weight-changing object is used)
-
Submitted a travel reimbursement with an explanation, because the hotel did not consolidate two receipts. It should be okay, as long as the person in the processing center reads the explanation.
Basically, there were $400+ in a certain kind of charges on the main receipt that the hotel took off on a second receipt because $EMPLOYER disallows that kind of charge.

The !raspi 4 does not have a model A. What if someone tried to convert a 4B into a 4A? https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/getting-raspberry-pi-boot-after-cutting-it-half [www jeffgeerling com]
