It has been a while, but I used to do reviews for a couple of journals, all in the Applied Mathematics field. I never worried about anonymity. It'd be trivial for them to figure out that it's me (with enough information). There really weren't that many papers being published and there was a smaller set of people willing to review the papers.

The new Cadillac Escalade (the EV version) is huge and weighs just a bit under 10,000 pounds.

Sure, it's an EV but there are other externalities to consider. Just because it's an EV doesn't mean that it shouldn't also be efficient in its use of energy.

I came up with this:

So, yeah... Cold kills more people by a statistically significant amount.

I live in a fairly cold area of the world. We have cold-related deaths every year. We also don't tend to get so hot as to kill anybody other than the infirm. At least not often. We have had larger heat waves but they're far from the temperatures you'd expect in the southern part of the US.

People burn their house down trying to heat it. That's fairly common.

AFAIK Peacemaker S02 comes out in August. Of this year!!

I notice some strange moderation efforts on a number of posts, almost as if someone wants negative views of Fox (and other right-wing media outlets) to be suppressed.

It's also evident that somebody with mod points doesn't realize that the existence of a biased FOX outlet means that folks can't also know that there are media outlets that are biased to the left. No, I think people aware of the misinformation/biases are well aware that there are biased media outlets on either side. At least I'd like to think so.

Though, we could talk about degrees of bias and hash that out. It is my *opinion* that FOX is more likely to give false/biased information than the other media outlets but I have pretty limited exposure. So, we can largely discount my views about the severity of the matter. The only news I really pay attention to is the local news and I don't even pay much attention to that. If it's important enough, someone will tell me about it.

A long time ago, I was a poor college student. One of the things I did to fund my life was freelance journalism (which was really just selling stories to a few local sources and hoping stuff went out of the wire and was picked up elsewhere).

So, I got the job and then decided to learn about journalism. One of the things I learned was that I should never use words like 'I", "me", "myself", or even things like "this reporter". This was a solid 40+ years ago.

Anyhow, as you can see, that has changed quite a bit. We also accept this crazy notion that 'anybody can be a journalist'. I mean, sure, they could be - but it should require integrity, honesty, accuracy, and be as unbiased as one reasonably can. There are also people who think that 'every side' should be presented. In reality, it's fine to be biased against things like Nazis and you don't have to give time or voices to those people who think otherwise.

This is really a shame, very dissapointed in Mozzila. Fakespot is wonderful and has saved me thousands of dollars and countless hours on Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart. If Mozilla is abandoning it, the code should be released. It is a project that I would support with both time and money.

Yeah, this isn't anything new. It's a link with a UUID embedded in it and confirms that the email address is a real one and an active one. Unsubscribing using their link is a bad idea and has been a bad idea for *decades*. Just mark it as spam and move on. The potential for the link to contain malware is nothing new.

I'm not sure that I agree with sending them to the new prison in El Salvador. That place is inhumane. As much as I hate spammers, I do think we need to treat criminals with a degree of humanity.

Similarly, I have a Rocky server that was configured from an existing CentOS server. I have no complaints.

I do have a RHEL server as well. That runs a lot of my 'house' stuff.

FWIW, veterans are a 'protected class' and discriminating against them while hiring is against the law.

(In the US... I can't speak for other countries.)

This law was in place when I was still regularly hiring people. I assume that it's still true with perhaps even stronger protections. In fact, if they left your company to serve in the military, you're supposed to rehire them if they return. That law is more recent, but still quite old. I forget the details, but that changed in the 1990s.

No, it shouldn't. Hell, that's a large percentage of the fun.

Make sure you're right the first time around. If not, we get to guffaw when people make mistakes.

It's not local, but a pair of leased servers. It's nothing huge, or anything like that.

I've yet to find anyone with a reasonable price. I note that you did not include a link to anyone with a reasonable price for this.

They are probably confusing ânobody noticedâ(TM) with ânobody caredâ(TM).

Yay, a new version of OS Update Simulator Extreme.

I haven't touched my existing Xbox in years because I know what's waiting for me...100 gigabyte update culture. If they make updates optional I may consider console gaming again

If we don't preprogram them in advance, then how will kids learn "Math class is tough!"?
