My setup is an old Dell Wyse thin client and 4 external USB drives. The thin client is basically silent. The drives only make sound when they're active, and spin down when idle. The thin client has an Intel CPU with QuickSync so it can even transcode with Plex. For data redundancy between the hard drives, I use lsyncd to make a poor man's mirror setup.
Works great. Lives in a cabinet in my living room.
And in 10 years they'll agree to a small website that suggests that maybe Europe might want to open a place to store source code that's European hosted... In another five years.
I'm not against ebikes in general. In the US designation, Class I and Class II are fine. It's the big, hefty fat bikes. And most of the pickup rentals have to be that style for the batteries to hold up all day.
Fully work from home. I start late on Mondays and Thursdays because I have Dutch lessons in the morning. I usually work from my small home office, or sometimes sitting on my sofa or rarely at a cafe. I don't usually have meetings on Mondays or Fridays and log off at around 5:30. On Tuesday through Thursday, I often work until around 7:00 in order to have virtual meetings with coworkers in other timezones. Most days, I skip breakfast or have something light, and opt for an early lunch (sometimes that's breakfast food).
Outside of meetings, I use an automated time management tool to block off times for certain tasks so that I don't forget to do them daily. The rest of the time is deep work, hopping from project to project. My work is done in 2 week intervals, and I usually accomplish 15-20 project tasks per interval. During the day, I frequently field random notifications to myself or my team in channels on our comm tool. During deep work time, to keep my brain from falling apart, I tend to put on a comfort show or something not too engaging. A large chunk of my work is also stakeholder management, talking people away from metaphorical cliffs that will hurt the business.
I'm running at 120% at all times. My brain is mush at all times. I'm deeply burned out.
Stocks of these firms have dropped. Trump and friends will now buy up the stocks. Then the statement will be rolled back, the policy will never be implemented, and Trump and friends will sell the climb.
Typical grifting and corruption in America these days.
People parking them in places that create obstructions or dangers to others
People riding them irresponsibly in shared spaces with pedestrians and cyclists
They're basically a motorcycle in non-motor spaces, which creates major safety problems. We have the same problem with "fatbike" ebikes in the Netherlands, where they're super chunky and being driven by novices (youth) who create risk to others.
It's nice to have alternatives to driving, but these are pretty poor alternatives. Also, they tend to only exist in tourist areas and tourist cities, meaning they aren't actually useful for residents.
I used to live in a "Sunbelt" college town that branded itself as bike friendly, had loads of trails around the city, built some pleasant outdoor spaces, and had an active transportation committee for the city. I attended some of those meetings, and they always started with a monthly review of pedestrian and cyclist injuries from automobiles - during every review, law enforcement, members of the committee, and even the city council member chairing the committee and who claimed to be pro-bike, would ALL make up any carbrain excuse for the driver of the car. "Well technically the cyclist had the right of way, but...
<Defends car>
". Cyclist went when the crossing was green and the car ran a red? Still the cyclist's fault.
I always recommend this app to everyone who does any amount of traveling: Where Is Public Toilet
It helps you find public toilets, explains their hours and amenities, and lets you rate them. You can download the toilet map and use it offline. It's a real trousers saver.
The family who owns most of the shares, and who were the authors of the anti-lgbt donations policies, vowed to replace the company's direct contributions with their own contributions sourced via the company's profits and dividends.
It moved who does the direct donation, but buying from Chick-fil-A still funds anti-lgbt efforts.
