we are seeing a resurgence of New World Screwworms. We eradicated it in the US in 1966, however, we have since seen a resurgence. Basically we used sterile males to make sure no new worms would be born in the US but thats a big border, so we worked with Mexico and other north and Central American countries to push it down past panama. Unfortunately when republicans find out we are spending money fighting disease in other countries, they think why help them? and kill funding. So now we are going to have to spend a shitload more money to defend our wide ass border, rather than a fraction of the cost defending a natural border.

The stitch hat hits me hard. My youngest is obsessed with stitch.

These people are fucking monsters.

So we had a strange early insurance change at work. HSA plan went from 6k max out of pocket to 16k.

It was very poorly written. The fact that you (and I) read the article and don't know what they were intending to convey is telling. I THINK the issue is fragmentation that they mention breifly, but that is probably me bring my previous opinions to the article.

I think FreeCAD has potential. It's not there yet. I'm trying to learn it but I'm getting a lot of grey in my beard and have been using Solidworks at work so long any new friction is frustrating.

For PDM/PLM. I've been looking at this recently. It also is not ready.

Its more work to setup but I am of the opinion parts should have drawings to show critical dimensions. Drawings should have rev blocks describing differences.

There are issues to this approach, but it solves a lot of problems.

Tiny desk does already household names in an intimate setting.

KEXP wopop for example finds music from around the world you probably haven't heard of.

Honestly, kinda a watershed moment. Bush's war on common sense ramped up fear such much folks got pissed at people putting up litebrites, rather than the dumbass cops who should have known better.

right? teams is a descendant of INSTANT messaging. I actually find it more annoying if someone tries to initiate a Teams Call without the "do you have a minute for a quick call?"

Some things are easier to do via email. Some things are best discussed live. Be that via text or voice or video.

I switched to Nobara a couple months ago. My computer is a lot snappier. Overall its great. Some minor difficulties but no show stoppers.

Signal desktop gives me an error that it is keeping credentials in plaintext which is fucked, I tried to get it to not do that but havnt been able to figure out how. (there are tutorials for ubuntu/gnome, but I havnt figured out how to translate those to fedora/kde...

I just started using crow-translate which is amazing, but keep getting a screenshot error message. Something with wayland maybe? again when I search there is a lot of shit about ubuntu/gnome but that doesnt really help.

I have one of these. Rather my wife does. It is not in use anymore as it jams frequently, but we haven't gotten rid of it quite yet.

I think this is a bad idea. A one time tax? Too easy to wiggle out of. Make it yearly and put it at a lower rate.

I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I'm not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I'm not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
