Hah, your sig made me laugh. Would seriously not be surprised if it's based on reality.
Made me think of the error I got from Tcsh **way** back, "Assertion botch: This can't happen!" (so... helpful)
Or not even about "work life balance." Some of us like what we are do and are good at it, and don't want to move up. 6.3 "I exist so that I can program. If I were promoted, I would do nothing but waste everyone's time. Can I go now? I have a program that I am working on."
I was quite content being a software engineer and at most software lead, left alone to design and implement solutions with a lot of independence. Making me team lead or more and sticking me in meetings and having me do paper work would have been a waste of my skills and experience. The one time I did think about becoming a manager type, my boss, who was moving up one position, said he'd rather me stay where I was, doing actual work, then bumped my salary to $1k less than the person who replaced him.
Everyone I know who started their own business had mummy and daddy to run back to if it all went to shit.
Many of the wealthy people looked up to as examples of self-made success came from wealthy families, including Bill Gates and Elon Musk. Yes there are also contrary examples, but having the safety net of (at least somewhat) affluent family can help with the mindset and tolerance for risk.
Where devices are designed to last a short time and companies build their business model on customers constantly buying new devices while the companies refuse to repair old devices and use every dirty trick in the book to prevent others from repairing anything
I've had my DSR-250 (non-wireless) since 2011. I don't use the VPN features, but do have two VLANs configured -- one for wired devices; one for wireless, off a DAP-2660 -- and both routers have worked great. I've been considering switching to a PC-based router running pfSense / OPNSense / IPFire (etc) but haven't been able to decide on which one and on what hardware. I have a few spare small PCs that would be more than adequate, but they pull a lot more power than a mini/micro device, which I'd have to buy and would probably be more than a the replacement DSR-250V2 device D-Link mentions. I guess this will hasten my considerations... Anyone have any recommendations?
We actually don't. Remember, google was one of the companies that colluded against Trump for last eight years. Chances are that Trump's DOJ will be even more motivated than Biden DOJ to take google down a peg or twenty.
Colluded against Trump -- hah, funny.
The crazy part is that the 80+ hrs with no pay actually came straight from Musk.
Honestly, it probably would have been crazier if he hadn't said something like that...
Oh well, voters get the government they deserve. (paraphrasing someone famous)
During his campaign, Trump has said he would seek to revoke licenses of television networks he views as biased.
Starting with Fox News?
Note that "he views as biased" means, "doesn't slobber all over him with praise for everything."
So anyone is at risk depending on the day and his whim.
Russia bans 'child-free propaganda' to try to boost birth rate
Russia's lower house of parliament voted unanimously on Tuesday to ban what authorities cast as pernicious propaganda for a child-free way of life, hoping to boost a faltering birth rate.
The law, expected to be swiftly approved by the upper house of parliament and Putin
Slavers always were, and always will be. Most of the social problems in the world are caused by rich people inventing new forms of slavery.
Michael Che on SNL Weekend Update last weekend:
Elon Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency posted a job listing saying that they are looking for people willing to work 80 plus hours a week for no money.
But you can't be surprised that the white African guy's first idea is slavery.
Why not call it PREEMPT_REALTIME?
That one's used to cut-off Bill Maher.
Gemini picked for post in Dept of Health and Human Services (HHS) in next U.S. Administration.
But how will a parking space fix my crippling social anxiety disorder? The only thing that seems to help is my therapeutic visits to Starbucks.
Quit and become a barista, problem solved.
Also, the requirement is to provide (sometimes subjectively) reasonable accommodations based on actual need, not want. Pretty sure that simply wanting to work from home doesn't fall under the accommodation requirements of the ADA. Outside that, and other legal limits, employers are free to set any conditions for employment they want, including having to work in the office. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

Essentially what you're saying is the draft dodger would want Ukraine to surrender. Seems about right. He couldn't be bothered to defend his own country so why bother helping a fledgling democracy when he can ingratiate himself with a dictator.
It runs in the family; his grandfather Frederick Trump (originally Friedrich Drumpf) left Germany for the U.S. avoiding the draft there. He later tried to return, but a royal decree was issued ordering him to leave the kingdom of Bavaria within eight weeks as punishment for having failed to do mandatory military service and failing to give authorities notice of his departure to the US when he first emigrated in 1885.
