I have updates turned off. Every time I open Fx after a shut down, it harasses me. Then, about a minute later, it does it again. Throughout the day it harasses me.

If I tell it never to install updates unless I choose to, don't harass me.

It used to be like that until a year or so ago. Check the box, never be harassed. Now it's incessant.

And the vast majority of kids were also not smoking weed

Are they now?

I missed Woodstock by about a decade. But when I made it into the school music program (high school and college), we were all looking back and mourning the demise of our creative heros. Either due to actual deaths or the inevitable menal decline that turned their creative output into garbage.

And no, we are not going to pass legislation to make weed smokers a protected class, like the ADA. You show up for work stoned and you're fired.

Well, school has been sucking the life out of reading for over a century nowadays.

It doesn't help that right-wingers have been forcing schools to ban books such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Frankenstein's Monster, anything dealing with slavery or how Native Americans were treated by Europeans, and yes, 1984.

CNN had an article about parents in Tennessee complaining their kids shouldn't have to read about slavery and how slaves were treated because it makes them feel uncomfortable.

In other words, the people who cry the loudest about participation trophies are crying about little Johnny having to read about how horrible white people can be to others. None of this helps the ongoing issue of Johnny not able to read.

A firmware update is rolling out to customers with GM Energy's vehicle-to-home hardware, converting those systems into full vehicle-to-grid assets with no new hardware and turning home backup systems into grid resources when utilities need them.

And I see nothing about configuration capabilities being left for the vehicle owner once this is pushed out. In fact, I see nothing about benefits to owners at all in TFA.

Utility demand response is a contractual thing. Once you sign up, you are obliged to load shed at the utilities request. Or face penalties. V2G just goes a step further than unidirectional (V1G) flow control in that GM can just take power back. Note that it is GM on the other side of the deal. Not your local, regulated and answerable to state utilities commisioners, utilities.
