Amazon will replace workers with robots the second it is feasible. This won't do anything to change that.

Is there any risk of being caught in the lie? Here it's possible that your employer will get at least a sense of your previous salary because they need to handle income taxes for that year.

I do it anyway and it's never backfired, but I suppose in theory...

The source was The New Yorker, not the New York Times.

Different things, even if they both have "New York" as part of their name.

Looks interesting, I'll take a look when I get back in to work.

Bombing people doesn't really help them.

I see Israel has started its usual tactics of destroying all the civilian infrastructure in Lebanon, in preparation for annexing part of it.

Months? They have been converting some motorway here for *years*. I think we are about 4 years in now, I lost track. It's taken so long that they started out making it a "smart motorway", realized that those things are deathtraps, and now I'm not sure what it's going to end up as.

We have had average speed cameras in kilometre after kilometre of 50 MPH stretches for many years too. Some of them seem to have been forgotten about because there hasn't been any work or cones there for years, and most people speed through at 70.

Probably the metadata is in UTC, and they forgot to convert it for Americans.

Interesting. I've never seen this claim made before; do you have a reference?

To be fair, the US didn't start the war, Israel did. Trump was just too weak to avoid getting dragged into it, and now he doesn't know how to end it.

Of course Israel doesn't want it to end, they want to keep bombing Lebanon and annexing parts of it to build their Greater Israel.

The way to stop nuclear proliferation in the Middle East is to disarm Israel. They have somewhere between 100 and 200 nukes, and multiple ways to deliver them (aircraft, missiles, submarines). They also have the "Samson Option", where if Zionism is on the brink of extinction they are threatening to launch them indiscriminately. Europe is within their range, by the way.

But how much of that is paying for the case and power supply?

Didn't get what you meant there.

NUCs usually come with a case and a power supply.

I bought one a couple of months and it came with those, as well as RAM.
It didn't have any storage though, because it was from a corporation, and didn't want to risk selling SSDs with data on them.

What really helped with smoking was first nicotine substitutes like patched, and second vaping.

While many people do regain weight when they come off these drugs, maybe in time we can find ways to prevent that, or find better drugs like this one that either keep the weight off or which they can just take forever and are cheap.

You make it sound like people have a free choice about their lifestyle, but that seems exceedingly unlikely given that a) three quarters of Americans are making these bad choices, despite likely knowing what the good choices are, and b) what we know about modern life and the pressures people face.

About three quarters of Americans are overweight or obese. So at most you can say some people an exceptional ability to regulate their weight effectively without assistance.

People have been arguing for years that people need to do more exercise and eat more healthy food. They have been trying to regulate food producers and advertising to make healthy eating easier and more affordable. These efforts have failed. You can argue that we should try harder, but realistically the chances of it working seem to be quite low. If medication turns out to be the way to force the issue, well I'm not going to begrudge anyone who takes that option.

I find I can do everything I need with old and OWA, and OWA is only really needed for some SP/group stuff that will probably never make it into "old". I'd switch to Thunderbird, but that's coming up short in some areas too and OWA alone won't make up the shortfall there, so my current approach is the least painful for getting stuff done, no matter how much that chafes. I find "New" to be a confusing and broken mess that is missing several key features needed to interact with other Microsoft systems (FFS!), and have fed that back to Microsoft in no uncertain terms every single time I've found myself switched to it and have immediately switched back using the feedback form they give you. No real idea on the Store version as I've only tried it once in the hope it might do everything I need (it didn't), but I hear that's awful too.

So, yeah, GP listed three products, which are the "local" versions, then there is the OWA version, so Microsoft has four totally different products that use the "Outlook" name by my count. Maybe they employed a former cola exec to lead the product development, or something; throw flavours at the wall and see what sticks? Store seems to be the "Diet" version, so maybe next up will "Cherry Outlook" and "Lime Outlook"... Personally, I really want "Outlook Zero", which will be me uninstalling it for good once I can switch to anything else.
