My kids are less distracting than the folks who walk into my office to chat while I’m in a working session. “Are you in a meeting? Yes? Oh well, You should have seen…”
Ok, I have no idea why this bothers me and I don’t even know what to call it. My husband is a “come here” guy. Something he thinks is interesting and wants to show me - hey, come here! Nuclear apocalypse - hey, come here! Why the hell wont he just tell me why he wants me to get up, trudge to wherever he is, so that he can...
The DeSantis administration’s latest culture war fight over a college-level psychology course is sending Florida schools scrambling to figure out how to handle the confusing standoff, with just days to spare before students return from summer break.
Considering the geographic, economic, and cultural differences among the states, I prefer the strong state argument. You think giving more power to the Federal government is good because you assume those in power will align with your ideals. What happens when you assume wrong and someone like DeSantis has the keys to the White House?

It sounds like a decent feature if used to protect things like banking sites from potentially invasive extensions. I disable my adblocker (only extension I use) for all those types of sites.
Working on a proposal for our team to take over the rest of IAM in AWS as no one is following best practices as discussed. Finding generic service roles with no documentation that have Admin rights with the access key in clear text in a variety of Lamba functions. Like, what the fuck people…
Yep, straight A’s in all AP classes right up until college. Party life and not being prepared for the stuff you are talking about really derailed my progress.
Ultimately I realized I can make good money in IT without a degree but it’s still much harder to get past the automatic screeners without a BA.
It would be nice if other industries had certification programs like IT does. I took a couple classes not long ago and really enjoyed them but it’s so hard to manage work, school, and parenting nowadays.
I can’t get past the yellow. It looks like a Camaro to me because of the color. Bummer about automatic only. I need to try one of these EcoBoost motors out.
