The place I work for is on the hook for $800k per year increase from Microsoft unless we can get creative with licensing. My boss keeps complaining that other companies skirting the rules forced Microsoft to do this. It's tough to keep my mouth shut.
I'm glad the company in the article is able to migrate. Sadly we're in way too deep to escape, and management seems unable to imagine anything but being dependent on abusive mega-corps.
That's what I wanted to know too. My emergency fund is all in T-bills since the pandemic started.
It looks like they dropped it a quarter of a percent, so now it's roughly 4%.
*But only if you kids unplug all the smart devices first.
Nice job, they look great. In my experience, though, you either need the patch on the inside or be attentive when putting on the pants. I've got one pair I keep ripping open because I hook the patches with my feet. Yet I keep patching them on the outside because now it'd look silly to have half in and half out.
Is there something I'm supposed to be doing with Queen Anne's Lace? It gets more out of control every year, but I just rip it out and compost it.
I always get the thought, "This can't be normal. Guess I'm dying."
You could say the same about Hannibal Lector, but I wouldn't eat him. I do eat pork, though.
Make sure you get the original version of Ghost in the Shell. I recently decided to rewatch and could only find my 2008 remaster DVD, where they replaced some scenes with CGI. It was absolute trash, and my DVD didn't seem to have the unaltered version available.
Gattaca and Children of Men are still my top two. Absolute masterpieces that should be seen by everyone.
Something I realized while reading this is that I can't think of any quotes from it. Besides "Bazinga", but that was designed to be intentionally annoying and then was used to mock the show.
I can think of references to basically every other sitcom I've seen, and I can vaguely remember some scenes from BBT, but nothing quotable. My spouse liked it, so I've seen every episode at least once, but it was honestly pretty forgettable.
My verdict was originally "not bad". But maybe being forgettable was it's best quality.
I have nothing productive to add, but I will say the same thing happens on my Windows 11 laptop from my work. And updates are forced by the management protocols, so every couple weeks I lose my screen until I restart. Classic Nvidia.
Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.
Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.
Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.
Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.
As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.
I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.
He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.

I thought the poster was AI art at first. Truly hideous.
