We were always going to pay for their failures; this one, or the next.
When you’re screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore that means they’ve given up on you…you may not want to hear it but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you and want to make you better.

ALL of it is good. Go watch. Maybe laugh a bit. Maybe cry near the end. Come away changed.
While the Texas grid does have issues related heat waves, it's not alone in that regard. Basically every southwestern state does, including California.
There are stark differences between 49 other states and Texas.
- Texas power grid has been systematically gutted
- regulation and inspections are defunded, as Texas refuses the inspections required to join the nations power exchange as a peer.
And the big one
- now they're not exchanging power, they have to buy from their rich constituents, at a premium, and they gut the bank accounts of your tax money
They're set up for failure and occasionally they succeed.
Sister's vet office is now offline again for COVID. Docs sick, most of the tech staff, most of the admin staff. When it hits, it runs through like a forest fire. One vet left because F the angry pet owners who think it's a personal insult they can't get special treatment, and he replaced one of the two who killed themselves (stress) last year.
They may institute a mask mandate again
- to keep the remaining staff healthy on return
- to filter their customers further because of high correlation of shitbaggery
- because docs are always masked so lower risk is now a work perq for them.
Me, I quit my job when they mandated return to work and I joined a union shop with 100% remote in the contract. I should mask up when I go to the store but I'm a dumb boy and always forget. I'm so vaxed it's like a bad hangover, but I don't have time for even that mess.
I found keepassium for the work phone and I was in love that I could keep a separate db with my OTPs under a password and backed up.
Then I left that job and had to split my OTPs. Vanilla keepass for droid will gives me the OTP values for gitlab etc, so it's good there, but Vanilla keepassium for Android has no camera/QR->OTP input that I have yet, one that works like keepassium does and is all compatible down the line. I'd love to keep using it to maintain the existing separate keepass OTP db I have.
Do you (or anyone) know of a good combo for droid that gets
- keepass
- backup to box/gdoc/etc
- qr for OTP
In one final package? Does XC do it in a way we think may be compatible?
The most useful part about it to me is the API. You can tie it in to Active Directory
This trick alone makes my Lemmy addiction pay off. Thanks for even suggesting such magic is possible. Adding that as a task after my samba-AD rebuild this very f'n week.
Maybe this will help.
I LOVE "dissolved girl" but I'm not as Gaga about the rest of the band's material. That sultry style cut with that music tempo is amazing.
It's like Finger Eleven has their their one massive departure track 'paranoid' -- all good, but very different.
I'll be checking this in the hopes it'll match a track and give me more sexy molasses for my brain.
I use flightaware and similar apps, but they all eventually want a subscription. Bleugh.
Is this one totally free ... or at least better than your average app?
There's a lot of value in a sleeping area that can get really really dark.
I'm ever so grateful for electrical tape.
I was born decades ago and 2 months early; in the glass box for weeeeks to beat the 11% survival-at-all stats.
Having said that, IT'S STILL NOT FACEBOOK'S BUSINESS as a conveyor and not a filter.
I think it was a good plan-b for about a week; but yeah, it went to absolute shite in such record time.

You don't; and you know this already.
I quit my union job when the new hotshot manager started mandating RTO into a newly compressed, hot, bright, loud environment; being able to actually see asses in chairs was his jam, despite the work impact. What a tool.
Found a job with another unionized IT shop, paid for it with a 3% pay cut but got an extra week of vacation (net loss: 3 days pay/yr) and a really great crew and 100% remote written into the contract. Thanks, ya tool.
