If looks dont matter, I’ll recommend the same thing I always do when people want an air purifier.

Look into making a Corsi Rosenthal Box. They’re surprisingly effective, and dirt cheap.

This makes perfect sense to me.

At the start of your career, you want to be important enough that people will care about your opinions, which means getting invited to meetings where things are discussed.

Stage 2, you’ve been there long enough and know how things work so you can offer input and help make decisions.

Stage 3 is the point at which people will come to you for input outside of meetings because that’s easier. You just want to do your job and generally don’t care about decisions anymore unless they bring sweeping changes.

This sounds fucking incredible, and I will be trying this as soon as I have avocados again.

People have been saying this since he was forced into buying the platform. I initially thought that could be true too.

As time has gone on, however, I’m starting to think he’s just that incompetent

This is bad news for my productivity

Excel is one of those tools that punches way above its weight class. Which is why it’s so common to see in places where it should have been replaced by a proper database years ago.

Supreme Court: Death Penalty Is ‘Totally Badass’

My favorite single moment so far was the conclusion of the battle between Luffy and Boa Sandersonia.

It really highlights that Luffy is not willing to act against his principles, even if it would further his goals.

Best arc though is a tossup between Arlong Park or Impel Down. Arlong Park has had the best character writing in the series so far, and Impel Down has the highest stakes.

I’m currently going through the One Piece manga for the first time and I’m having a blast.

I’m in the middle of Punk Hazard right now and it’s starting to drag on, but I’m told that everything gets way better afterwards.

• Game: Return of the Obra Dinn
• Book: House of Leaves
• TV: Twin Peaks
• Movie: The Matrix

This started happening to me more and more after I hit my 30s, and it stopped happening once I started taking a daily multivitamin.

Deadly Towers.

This game is awful

My certs have all expired, but when I started I didnt have any at all.

The thing that worked for me was to apply to small businesses(Look into local MSPs). Places that have ~20 employees have much less rigor about certs and will more likely test that you’re amicable enough to mesh with the rest of the team. From there you can build experience and often get thr company to pay for your certs.

Not at all.

Unsolicited email is spam. It’s as simple as that. Dont feel bad about flagging them as such if they won’t respect your contact preferences.

They very likely dont have read or write access to the files on your device.

However, they probably do have the ability to remotely wipe the device. This feature is typically used in enterprise if a phone or laptop is lost or stolen to prevent bad actors from getting access to the data stored on the device.

Not only does password rotation not add to security, it actually reduces it.

Assuming a perfect world where users are using long randomly generated strong passwords it’s a good idea and can increase security. However, humans are involved and it just means users change their passwords from “Charlie1” to “Charlie2” and it makes their passwords even easier to guess. Especially if you know how often the passwords change and roughly when someone was hired.

Ideally, your users just use a password manager and don’t know any of their credentials except for the one to access that password manager.

If they need to manually type them in, password length should be prioritized over almost any other condition. A full sentence makes a great unique password with tons of entropy that is easy to remember and hard to guess.

I get this too. However, you’ll usually be able to tell the professionals your end goal during the quoting process and if your requirements are reasonable, they’ll work with you.

If they won’t do that, then you get to ask yourself the next question:

• Do they have a good reason to refuse? (safety [either theirs or yours], regulations, etc)

If not, then you can just refuse the quote and work with someone else.

More often than not, the professionals know what they’re doing and will be able to work around your requirements, and if they can’t, they’ll have competitors that can.

It varies.

In most cases it’s more a question of “What is the risk if I do this myself?” and “If I completely fuck this up, is it going to cost more to fix than just calling someone who knows what they’re doing before that happens?”

If the answer to the above doesn’t involve a fire in my walls or serious water damage like with electical or plumbing, and the cost to fix mistakes is low, then sure, I’ll try it myself first.

I like both quite a bit, and even got into the hobby culture for each.

Tea is simpler in preparation, but way more complex in terms of varieties. There is a huge difference between a chinese black tea and an assam black tea, even though its the same core ingredient, prepared in a similar fashion.

Coffee on the other hand has fewer varieties, but way more variables in preparation that can drastically change the flavor of your cup. The size of your grind, the brew temperature and the extraction time all have pretty major effects on thr end product.

While many of the CVEs are filed in good faith by responsible researchers and represent credible security vulnerabilities, a recently growing pattern involves newbie security enthusiasts and bug bounty hunters ostensibly “collecting” CVEs to enrich their resume rather than reporting security bugs that constitute real-world, practical impact from exploitation.

Oh, this is once again HR’s fault
