Gerrymandering is a hell of a drug.

I’m not trying to disparage anyone who likes Linkin Park, but my opinion is that, in general, alt rock from the late 90s through the early 00s has aged really poorly. I used to listen to that music a ton when I was in high school and college, but I don’t anymore.

I’ve found that the answer depends on what region of the US you’re from. The UK probably does it differently, but I’m with @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world. If it’s dark out, you’re definitely greeting with “good evening.”

No one says 10 pm or midnight is the evening.

See this is interesting because I use the words “evening” and “night” interchangeably. I’m from (broadly) northern Ohio.

If I’m greeting someone, “good morning” is from the time I wake up until noon, “good afternoon” from noon until the sun goes down or it’s 7pm or so, and “good evening” at any other time. It could be 3am, and if I’m meeting someone, I’d say “good evening.”

“Good night” is when you’re leaving. “Have a good night.” But night time is when it’s dark and evening is generally the same time.

There’s a guy who works as a product owner at my employer. He has a PharmD. He got fed up with the metrics for how many prescriptions he had to fill. Now he does software.

It’s crazy to think that someone has a terminal degree in a really technical field and he nope’d out because of how bad it got.

Let’s be clear. Republican judges.

I wonder what the source is because in 1784, Connecticut made claims on the northeast part of Ohio (the Western Reserve). Virginia did have a claim on some part of central/southwest Ohio called the Virginia Military District, but that’s all I’m aware of.

Microsoft’s most important customers are businesses, who generally don’t deal with this (they have corporate images). Home users also generally don’t deal with this given they buy a computer that has already been configured.

Linux-based systems have always needed to be better because almost no one buys a computer with $DISTRO already installed and configured.

I had forgotten about that and now I am sad that I’ve been reminded.

If Back to the Future was made today, Marty would have traveled back to 1994.

he planned to carry out a mass shooting — a random attack common in the U.S. these days

Well they’re not wrong, but it’s kind of surreal to see it plainly said like that.

Most people have already pointed it out, but I must say, I don’t recall the last time I ordered pizza and didn’t use a coupon.

Glad I could be of service.

Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes…and that’s when your mom didn’t kick you off the internet so she could make a call.

It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were “obviously” incorrect. It’s terrible logic because it discounts:

1. God somehow doesn’t know you’re believing in him “just in case” rather than because of actual faith.
2. The wager implies that you should be an adherent of the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.

It does seem like the TL;DR of right wing Israelis is “Hitler was right, but his only problem was that he was killing us.”

The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person’s recovery email…which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person’s iCloud. None of the person’s emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn’t use a recovery email so that your login can’t be tied back to you.

As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support… and also because I can’t have many calendars on the free plan.

It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.

It will come down to the laws in your country and how much money you plan to spend on lawyers if your employer wants to force the issue.

Taco Bell most likely.
