Here it’s “barking up the wrong tree”

it means you are blaming the wrong thing/person for an issue.

Yelp names their own competitors in the “extorting businesses for good reviews” racket.

The second Signal works out that this exists.

I’ve yet to run into a CPU that doesn’t work with 11
Every AMD processor from the Ryzen 1000-series and older. I’m not sure where the line is with Intel processors, but requiring TPM excludes a lot of otherwise useful hardware.

I have a Jellyfin server running in the office. The video card is about 6 months old. The CPU, case, and motherboard are going on 12 years old.

Employment contracts in the US are quite rare. 49 out of 50 state are at-will employment (Montana being the exception), so they can fire you for any or no reason, excluding a small list of illegal reasons.

Within the laws of the location of the employer. That’s why state and sometimes even local laws matter.

Alleghany County is extremely red, Covington has a large paper plant which has a nasty smell, and Clifton Forge has a massive coal train terminal and is the most depressing place I have ever been.

Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Charlottesville contribute as well, but basically if it’s not a city or the suburbs of one, it’s red as a sunburn.

Virginia still has cheap areas and is a blue state thanks to the DC area and Hampton Roads, but the cheap areas suck and don’t necessarily have broadband access or mobile coverage.

Virginia is roughly purple. The General Assembly is hung (one house majority Republican, the other majority Democratic), and the governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are all Republican.

The DC area is ridiculously expensive ($1 million or $2500/month is quite possible). I can’t speak to Hampton Roads.

The city of Richmond, most of Henrico County (not Varina), Charles City County, and part of Chesterfield County are blue. Charles City County is cheap but good luck getting a phone signal with certain carriers or getting internet access. Glen Allen, Short Pump, and the West End (all Henrico County) are all pretty expensive as well but less so than DC.

The writer reminds me of Terry Davis, except not as bright.

That’s because it’s the Fediverse equivalent of Instagram.

I see you learned the arcane AT commands to keep the modem from screeching when you connected to the internet.

I have had instability problems with Manjaro. It’s basically still Arch but with the sharp edges rounded off and a fresh coat of paint.

I recommend Mint over either Manjaro or Arch.

Scientists renamed some genes because Excel kept turning the original names into dates: https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-rename-microsoft-excel-misreading-dates

For example extremely high water low salts can cause brain swelling and death.

And before that, you lose your balance, are vomiting and have diarrhea after you eat/drink something, and have seizures. Then your kidneys shut down.

The week in the hospital on IV fluids and dialysis recovering was not pleasant.

Venti is 24 oz now?! Venti is Italian for 20.
