I believe that acupressure, meditation, reiki, etc. can actually help ease some chronic issues in the same way that a placebo drug does. The mind believes that it should feel less pain, anxiety, depression, etc so it does - to an extent. Afterall, if stress is harmful to our health then relaxation must be helpful.

You hit the nail on the head. Compliance and legal obligations for security and storage are a constantly moving target, so there's always a lot to adjust alongside the day to day management.

Pork butt roast and sauerkraut. It's a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipe meant to bring good luck and fortune to the household on New Years. You simply season a pork butt with salt and pepper and put it in the slow cooker with a large container of saurkraut and cook on low til it shreds. Served with mashed potatoes, peas, and pork gravy. Guaranteed to give you a food coma.

For appetizers, I love beet-pickled eggs. It's essential to pickle them for 24+ hours to ensure the pink fully penetrates the egg white.

I'm still holding out hope for full-dive VR in the next 20-30 years.

There's an outdoor cabinet in my neighborhood that is used as a food bank. I fill it to the brim weekly with shelf-stable food. I was formerly homeless and know what it's like to go hungry, and I work hard to ensure that no one in my neighborhood has to go to bed hungry.

Microsoft 365 Administrator, $130k USD. I only have an Associate's degree but I have over a decade of experience in the field. Most of my day is spent coordinating with cybersecurity, compliance, and lawyers to ensure our data practices are sound. It's a constantly-moving target.

Exactly this. I would be ecstatic if my employer paid for my cert tests. I pay for them myself and study on my own time, then leverage them during annual reviews to show why I deserve promotions and raises.

For context, I went from homeless to six figures because of this kind of hustle. If you want to just tread water then do so, otherwise you need to put in the work on your own time.

Agreed, they are my go-to resource during each election

Is this a reference to making drug addicts work the farms after deporting all of the immigrant farm workers?

I agree. A person can wish their ex the best, but cutting contact altogether is typically the best path. Some folks are able to make it work to keep a friendship, but those seem to be outliers.

They should just get their tubes tied or a vasectomy while they still can, before this shit spreads across the country.

I just hope my hands hold out long enough. I already have terrible arthritis in both hands.

Chevy just released adapters for their EVs to use Tesla chargers, and it even works on older models

And yet their existence allows non-Tesla EVs to function, thus reducing oil dependency and saving the planet. There's simply not enough EV chargers out there to be picky with chargers. I think that not buying a Tesla but using their chargers when necessary is a happy compromise until other companies step up to fill the charging gap.

Interesting. I still play an oldschool MMO (FFXI) because modern MMOs don't capture the same magic. I'll be curious to try this game when it drops.

What are your long-term goals in terms of career, retirement, etc? Does the current company fall in line with those goals?

Reminder that non-Tesla cars use Tesla chargers and vice-versa. This is going to hurt people who don't even drive Teslas. Charges are hard enough to come by as-is.

Are we winning yet?

Your outsourced IT provider charges for simple configuration changes? That's a yikes from me. I worked in MSPs for years and those sort of changes were always covered in the standard contract.

It's no different than controlling add-ons via GPO like we did in the old days of on-prem. No extra cost associated.
