No. I didn’t see the others.

What is not my absolute favorite joke. He tries really hard when he plays.

What’s on second, Who’s on first, and I Don’t Know’s on third.

No orcing way…

Whaddaya orcing know…

I can sort of see it.

Yes. It was trendy, and then dropped. I think of it “Walking Dead” fever. Sort of like the attraction of the CSI series, hospital shows, cops shows, etc.

“This technology turns every router into a potential means for surveillance,” warns Julian Todt from KASTEL. “If you regularly pass by a café that operates a WiFi network, you could be identified there without noticing it and be recognized later – for example by public authorities or companies.”

Later…

Inexpensive or older routers either don’t store history at all or keep it for a short time.

Newer models can store more information for more extended periods.

1. get content creators.

2. hide their feeds so they don’t make money. Use the algorithm to feed up creators the viewer didn’t subscribe to, so that they watch randos.

3. …

Fixed it. Sorry.

Thanks for the additional info!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is a prion disease which leads to tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term kúru means “trembling” and comes from the Fore word kuria or guria (“to shake”).[3][4] It is also known as “laughing sickness” due to abnormal bursts of laughter from the patients.

It was spread among the Fore people via funerary cannibalism.

Mad cow for people.

Drought conditions in Texas have worsened, with severe impacts on crops such as winter wheat and livestock feed availability.

“Things are looking bad for far south Texas, where climate outlooks suggest higher than normal probabilities of dry conditions over much of the state,” said William Baule, regional climatologist at the Southern Regional Climate Center and research assistant professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University.

U.S. Drought Monitor data, published April 2, showed drought conditions intensified from March 24 –31. There was no change in abnormally dry conditions (D0), while drought categories (D1–D4) worsened overall.

Moderate drought increased 4.48 points to 88.98% (D1). Severe drought worsened sharply by 7.27 points to 62.81% (D2). Extreme drought was up 6.74 points to 29.34% (D3). Exceptional drought weakened by 0.86 points to 4.96% (D4).

The drought has made it difficult to take soil samples, according to Dwayne Peirce, Texas A&M AgriLife agriculture and natural resources agent, who has pulled samples since the 1990s.

“I’ve never had the difficulty that I’ve had this spring, pulling soil samples for our spring and summer crops,” he said. “It’s taken me, on an average, at least twice as long, if not three times as long, to sample the field. Just trying to find a location that’s soft enough to get the probe in the ground has been difficult.”

It’s the assumption that what works for me will work for you. Situations change. Markets change. Skill relevancy changes (ask IT workers).

As for university in Romania, I can’t speak to that. What I can say about it in the US is:

“Go to college and get a good job.” sounds great until you go to an elite school for a Sociology degree. Oh, you’ve got a law degree? The firm expects you to work pro-bono to establish yourself. Work for little pay while establishing yourself while paying off student debt.

and not just students at elite schools.

Bottom line: have a couple of career paths/options.

The Texas State Board of Education met this month to discuss potential changes to how social studies is taught under the state’s Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for K-12 social studies curriculum.

The Texas Education Agency has also published a recommended reading list of literary works developed with input from more than 5,000 Texas English teachers, according to a previous report by The Center Square.

Teachers and historians have raised concerns about elements of the proposed standards.

For clarity the platform is called Snowflake.

While numerous cloud storage and SaaS vendors were targeted using the stolen tokens, BleepingComputer has learned that the majority of the data theft attacks targeted the cloud data platform Snowflake.

The headline is not calling the customers snowflakes.

The Document Foundation’s official reply came from Italo Vignoli, a founder Collabora lists as having already exited TDF membership.

He has kept it short, confirming that the removals happened, pointing to TDF’s recently adopted Community Bylaws as the basis. Those bylaws include a clause requiring anyone affiliated with a company in an active legal dispute with TDF to step down from membership.

Link to those bylaws from Jan 15

https://community.documentfoundation.org/t/vote-adopt-version-1-of-community-bylaws/13472

Quote from that link [bylaws] above

Members involved in legal claims for endangering the Foundation, eg. by means of putting the charitable status at risk, or misusing TDF’s funds, or by damaging any of TDF’s assets, or by attempting to do any of these must relinquish their membership by means of notification to the MC. If the legal claim, in relation to the mentioned matters, involves a company/organisation then also their affiliated members must relinquish their membership.

Back to the original linked article:

The stated rationale is that past situations saw people put their employer’s interests ahead of the foundation’s, and the clause exists to stop that happening again. The specifics of the legal dispute between TDF and Collabora are not mentioned by either party.

TDF also makes clear that a membership revocation is not a ban from contributing, with the project remaining open to anyone, and expects Collabora to keep contributing “when the time comes.”

So without details, all the article really details is that this happened. The why is murky. It seems the TDF is trying to protect itself, but there’s no description of Collabra or TDFs legal dispute.

Squeeze really tight and say, ‘yes, I can.’ Say it again. ‘Yes, I can!’

I didn’t mean to imply that they had elderly parents, I just meant that is something to consider if they did.

If you’re young and your parents aren’t old, it’s doable.

It’s also doable when you have siblings to take care of older parents. I know you say “Most of our families will be gone in a few years.” But what if in less than that time they need care?

Relocating back to where your elderly parents are, especially if you’re older can be a hassle. For example, if you are 50 years old and your parents are 75 years old, and they need a caretaker, you would need to relocate, and get a new job later in life (often at a pay decrease).
