The facility now identifies as Jail Force One.

discourage drinking and thereby decrease the likelihood of handgun-carrying

correlation ≠ causation

An abusive culture doesn't make abuse acceptable. I'm happy to hear you got out.

I do read books for professional development, but while I'm sitting in my office during project lulls. I even keep them on my bookshelves, with The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck prominently displayed where I can point to it when I need to make a statement.

He should have stuck with his hot-dog cart.

Flying out of Moscow and the plane goes down... what are the odds?

Assuming the maintenance crews haven't already been mobilized and sent to fight in Ukraine.

The Accidental Superpower by Peter Zeihan is an amazingly informative and entertainingly written examination of how and why the US got to where it is without even really trying. This and his later books also discuss the rise and now beginning decline of globalization in a destabilizing world.

The guy (and his research team) has a pretty good track record of predicting geopolitical trends and even specific events that are coming 5 or 10 years down the road. I don't necessarily agree with or accept all of his ideas and analysis, but he definitely makes you think.

There’s no way to read them on company time so I typically read them after work or on weekends don't read them.

Company tasking happens on company time.

Don't simply accept abuse.

Capitalists believe they can own some land.

Communists believe they already own all of it.

Here's an idea... stop giving your money to companies that don't want you as a customer.

When I set mine to Mute, Netflix still kept launching. So I set it to Show Recent Apps and long-press to Mute. That solved it.

After four years with no new versions, there probably won't ever be one.

Even the original 2015 Shield is still one of the top 5 Android TV devices ever made, with the 2017 and 2019 models also taking spots.

I did add the newer remote to my 2015 model as that's a big improvement (other than the annoyingly easy to accidentally press Netflix button, but I remapped that to Show Recent Apps instead).

Russia is getting desperate.

You were using a niche distro maintained by a single person and encountered problems? Shocking.

To be fair, I used Nobara myself for a bit until I got tired of suffering from the problems GE was creating himself. But regardless, experience on something like Nobara is not a fair way to evaluate Gnome. Try it on actual Fedora or something else mainstream that isn't constantly fuckering around with all kinds of shit and breaking stuff.

Who could have possibly predicted that?

Apparently I either already did this so many years ago that I don't remember doing it, or my account is so old (2006) that it predates these settings being added and they defaulted to "off" when added to existing accounts.

I have no idea if either is more effective.

I'm just used to every little town having a handful of local cops to handle local matters because that's how it was in the very rural area where I grew up. Neighboring towns and counties did coordinate with each other for assistance when needed, and meet daily to discuss ongoing matters (they tended to each have somebody gather at the same place for lunch), so I expect the overall effectiveness is pretty similar... it's just independent departments working together while primarily covering their own local areas rather than one giant department directing them all across a large area.

See the second part of my response, above.

The rural US is often very empty with long distances of pretty much nothing between towns. If those towns want a reliable, responsive police presence, they have to provide it themselves. Keep in mind that average population density is the US is about 1/4th of that in Europe... and it's far lower than that when you get away from the North-East.
