  • Even better, you can have the card expire off-cycle from the book. Since both last 10 years, if you renew one at the 5 year mark, it means you'll always have an active document that can get you to Canada or Mexico even while the other is in the renewal cycle.

    I recently learned this after renewing both at the same time missing my opportunity. I'll renew the card early in 5 years or so to get this off-cycle expiry benefit.

  • and if someone is making minimum wage or close to it they almost certainly aren’t getting paid time off, so now they have to come up with $130 for the fee and lose time off work.

    A passport card is only $30 (plus the $10 or so dollars for the required photo), but everything else in your post is spot on.

  • Good. Rice/grain bowls are fucking burrito nihilism and the worst thing millennials have done.

    That large tortilla adds another 300 calories by itself, which is about 25% of the calories of a large burrito. I like to skip those extra tortilla calories. A bowl does that.

  • With as toxic as Orban (Hungarian Leadership) is to Ukraine, it surprises me that Urkaine would take the risk of transporting this valuable cargo through Hungary or Slovakia when bound for Astria. It might be a longer drive, but the path through Poland and Czechia may be preferred going forward.

  • How would an instance block an IP without storing IPs?

    They could be blocking entire IP ranges. So they wouldn't have to store specific IPs. I'm not in the hosting industry but I would imagine there are groups tracking the CIDR blocks (IP ranges) that VPN providers use for their exit nodes. If such a list exists, a host could simply subscribe to accept whatever updates occur to those lists and implement the block for them.

  • I've got a coworker that works in the Bay Area but lives in the Midwest. Another I know works in New Jersey but lives in the Midwest. Corporate RTO initiatives in High COL areas with a salary differential coupled with lower Midwest COL and housing costs make strange things viable.

  • The results of this study will undoubtedly produce a sea change in corporate culture while simultaneously creating opportunities for cross functional collaboration resulting from this paradigm shift. /s

  • Oops, my mistake

    Apology accepted. Have a great day!

  • Read my prior post, I specifically SAID it was a model number.

    You're embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn't exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you're behind here.

  • Such a confident answer! And so incorrect too!

  • Honestly, we know where the root of this problem came from. Back in the 1990s Intel broke with convention of using ever increasing numeric model numbers

    • 8086
    • 8088
    • 80186
    • 80286
    • 80386
    • 80486
    • Pentium ...wait, what?! Not 80586? Nope.

    Intel didn't like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created "Pentium" because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn't use it.

  • That’s my bad for not remembering AMD’s fucking atrocious nonstandard mobile chip naming schemes.

    Atrocious compared to Intel? The first CPU with the name Core i7 was released in 2008, but Intel is still releasing a CPU named Core i7 as recently as 2023. They both suck, but in different ways.

  • This is likely one case where capitalist polluters and leftist environmentalists are on the same side. Neither wants to see this plant in operation.

    Coal is an expensive way to generate electricity in the USA. Its a PITA to get the coal and deal with the tailings. Further with the death of coal power being obvious for decades, plant operators have put off maintenance again and again knowing that the plants closing is forthcoming. The forced demand from the government would require at least some of that expensive maintenance done to keep operating. Plant operators don't want to spend that money for something that is going to be closed as soon in the years ahead as trump isn't in the picture anymore.

  • Doesn't this mean one fewer Republican Senators then? He was elected in 2023 so he still had safe years on his term in office.

    Also from Wikipedia:

    "He is the only currently serving senator without at least a bachelor's degree."

    Well, trump has said "I love the poorly educated", so this is an on-brand choice for trump.

  • I'm not sure we can use the "Windows x86 vs Windows ARM" analog for this new unit from Apple. MacOS Tahoe is a native ARM OS on both the high end and now this low end unit. With Windows its a completely different CPU architecture.

    Apple has to know this is going to cannibalize its low end (8GB/256GB SSD) Macbook Air line. So will Apple discontinue the low config Air or is there some other differentiator that still makes the low config Air compelling?

  • that something Tain ordered him to do as a member of the Obsidian Order was his “step too far” that caused his break with Cardassian ideology.

    Thats a wonderful thing about Garak is that I don't think there exists "a step too far". Rather I like to assume that even if it was a heinous request he didn't follow it because it didn't serve his own political motives. What was so interesting about Garak is that he clearly had a formal set of solid guiding principles. However to outsiders like us it looked chaotic and disjointed.

  • Wasn't Garrik effectively banished for being on the losing side of an internal power struggle within the Obsidian Order (the Cardassian spy division of the government)?

  • If its the full macOS, I don't think we can say that. That's what makes this so interesting as it is a first of its kind.

    Now, if it performs like a dog compared to an equivalent spec M3 or M4 Macbook Air, then we probably could call it a glorified tablet.

  • Especially when they're using it as a defense to use racial slurs in a Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon.
