To keep the dog & cat from drinking out of it. Very unpopular with the quadrupeds & half of the bipeds.
The growth that occurs on the underside of the lid makes for a good reminder that cleaning the toilet is (over-)due.
More plausibly, they are seeding the Demon Haunted World theory to distract the populous from their immediate problems. I found the timing of resurgent UFO/UAP stories & official statements at the height of the pandemic quite dubious.
I did/do really enjoy the thought experiments posited in these comments. For more than a few minutes my mind's eye forgot that my finances have been a slow-motion trainwreck these last 3 years.
I don't disagree, but it seems better to respond with appreciation for their candidness.
I had myname.com for 15 years. I let it go when I had email hosting issues, the Covid hit & I scrutinized my cost:benefit of inflating registrar and hosting fees over the years.
Good to know that is a factor, thanks. You and the parent posters' disclosure is appreciated.
Thanks. I tried FastMail a few years back. I had delayed mail problems. Reached out to them. Their email, informing everything looked good on their end, had a 4 hour delay in the header. Heh.

from the ask-hn dept.
I've sent emails to ~ 30 entities since July, and the only 3 respondents were: a 'test' reply from a friend, one business & one .gov.I setup a PM mail for job applications & the local/name is not offensive or inappropriate. I am sending to businesses & agents with posted job openings, so, it's not unsolicited. I expected a high number of no responses, but > 90% is much higher...
I thought of Leto Atreides II in the 4th Dune book.
edit: not the op.
We just passed 1 month since acquisition, and yet the multitude of articles(and 1000's of posts here on HN) calling out Twitter for not paying it's debts makes it seem like they are > 30/60/90 in arrears. I understand it's a shit show, but pouring gas on the fire is not helping; the exact opposite, as I presume it is intended.
Weaponized Media has gone mainstream.
Following extra spicy foods with a pint or two of milk neutralizes the post pyrotechnics, for me. If lactose intolerant, sugar works, but not as well(Perhaps in large/unhealthy quantity?). YMMV.
Edit: I always presumed the high after spicy food was endorphins.
Ask most persons who text + drive and they will self-report their advanced multi-tasking skills. Ask anyone who shares space around them on the road and that opinion will be, approaching 100%, contradictory. Situational awareness and anticipation are key components to safely operating a vehicle, with or without 'assistance technologies'.
They certainly went full Fox News 180° when Trump was elected.
Sounds good, will be watching.
Squyres' book, Roving Mars, is highly recommended. A deep, technical accounting of his life-long ambition to get his equipment on Mars.
Unsure, sounds like a dark pattern or, being generous, maybe liability avoidance wordage. I have crimped >1000 non "Pass-Thru™" connectors(outdoor/shielded) with mine.
edit: expanded
Agreed. There is a pop-up asking if you want to help at install(FF & TB). Big data has earned a reputation for just cause. If the Mozillas want to differentiate themselves to get that trust, aka opt-in, I encourage them. So far, "No, thanks".
The only problems I experienced are when the wireless bands are deprecated. I'd still be rolling my n900, otherwise. Old drivers or not, there is/was still some development going on; Leste & PostmarketOS, IIRC.
>AdBlock was sold to an anonymous buyer in 2015
And immediately started allowing "acceptable ads", selling usage data & AdBlock Plus came to be. I thought the original was dead already. Mozilla should have blocked it 7 years ago.
To add:
Custom kernel, de-googled ROM(sans Play Store) & side-loading apps.
"Typical" speeds & "typical" latency.
Still allowed to bundle services, a.k.a. obfuscate prices.
Although a cursory scan, I did not see it specify throttled speeds on certain unlimited data plans; search found no results for 'throttled' and nowhere to list it on the label.
>we decline to adopt new rules, practices, or
procedures specifically for enforcement of the label we adopt in this Order
Nothing to see here.
In a year or two, when that notebook has been filled and replaced with newer notebooks, make some time to go back and reread. It is wild sometimes, re-reading things I forgot I know/knew. Pretty sure this helps for recall, even if not, it is still nostalgically entertaining.
Edit: swapped 'enlightening' for 'entertaining'. Admittedly, could be both.
Back in the golden age of phpBBs, I would give posters 1 notice when veering OT or getting nasty, then transfer the (sub-)thread to our 'FlameWar' room. There, they could, and would, be as nasty as they liked to each other. I failed to stem the flow of toxicity, but merely re-directed it. It worked out pretty well, and ironically, the more toxic categories were the most popular viewed threads for trolls and lurkers, alike. Go figure.
>"people need to sleep"
Sleep is almost impossible with regular check-ups... 30 min or 60 min, don't remember. Excepting the comatose and most medicated(maybe not?), a person's sleep cycle is unable to reach REM when a stranger approaches and fiddles on regular intervals. I would think monitoring from afar(sensors, cameras) would be more beneficial, but I was informed the liability factors preclude such remote monitoring.
edit: to add context, I slept in the room on separate occasions with 2 family members. While tests were not performed, the regular checks were mandated. I was exhausted after my shifts ended.
If you step back from the trainwreck and look around, the job market is not good anywhere. Some definitely will find fast employment, but > or = quality & remuneration is not a given. For the rest, 3 months may cover on-boarding time, if they strike an offer quickly. This just sucks all the way around. I wonder if EM has a master plan or a brain tumor.
That was my coach's rationalization for not sending me to state competition at the end of my freshman year, despite my quali's. I put a "head" onto his name when I said thanks, got in lots of trouble and went and got a job instead of further competition. Best decision ever. Thanks, Richard!
