Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

  • "Daily" dumps of customer data
  • The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

@jasonkoebler Perhaps naïve of us to think these companies were going to just bow to the right-to-repair movement without getting a little something for themselves. SMH

Texas made the wrong decision on toll roads

Lawmakers turned to toll roads to boost the TX economy & address population growth without raising taxes, but the consequences spiraled.

Some state leaders rightly regret the policies & laws that drove the toll road construction boom. “We were sold a bill of goods. We were just looking for how to find money. We now know that this was the wrong way to do it.”

Today, I'm revising a scientific article exploring the symbolic value nurses attach to their nursing uniforms.

pabloniusmonk,
@pabloniusmonk@mastodon.social avatar

@AdamBishop Here in the States, nurses do the bulk of our healthcare. They deserve all the honorifics that we ascribe to doctors. Indeed I occasionally call them "doctor". I hope the translation confirms that nurses take pride in wearing their uniforms.

Save but a few noble exceptions in managed healthcare & research, we should downgrade the legacy status that doctors here have benefited from for years.

Had to do an emergency glue transfer into, of all things, an empty and clean Arby's Sauce bottle after the original, half-full bottle of glue cracked around and centre and began to leak. Used a putty knife to move it over. If I didn't, the remaining glue would likely dry and set inside the old bottle due to being exposed to regular air, for prolonged periods (ie: whenever I might need some next). I estimate the glue bottle is 10-15 years old, so the plastic had degraded.

Dallas moving forward with plan to entice residents to switch from gas-powered lawn tools 🏡🍃 🥕

We switched to battery lawn equipment 6 years ago & never looked back. No messy oil changes, $ gasoline, or winterizing. Good exercise. Quieter. Better for environment. All plusses. ➕ 🔋 🏡

Advice on switching to battery-powered lawn tools

Advantages to electric lawn tools include being quieter as well as being more environmentally friendly.

First sighting of a Wankpanzer here in Dallas. It's not doing this otherwise lovely Spanish colonial home any favors junking up the driveway.

Can't believe it's the first one we've seen in town. We see so many Rivian trucks here.
