Without knowing the dude and assuming upbringing, think about their stereotypical culture. Abortion and I assume contraception isn't exactly encouraged. Maybe I am an ignorant fuck about non-western cultures. Still upsets me that anyone threatens them at all.

All I do know is I appreciate the hell out of that organization and was the only way I could afford healthcare for a long time. I try to go to them no matter what so they get money and I can continue to see the people I always have.

The stories that women shared with me in the waiting room are absolutely heartbreaking. Such as men sabotaging their birth control. They have to sneak on a bus while he is at work, with their kids in tow, to get the depo shot. That is one of the tame stories.

Fucking POS protesters were around where the parade was for Pride a couple weeks ago. I always flip off any protesters for PP. Childish? Yes. Will that stop me? Absolutely not.

Due to Sync, it is always an eyesore of huge images due to the multiple links. I just blocked the bot so I can move on. I should dig through my settings again to find a happy medium.

UL certification can mean different things, depending on the product and type of mark. It also isn't that expensive to get UL listed as it isn't like every single item you produce is tested. Each product you design is tested, but not each item you produce.

There are 3/4 types. UL listed, UL recognized, and UL classified. Certified is newer and more stringent.

• Recognized is mostly for machinery and components within machinery. It isn't terribly difficult to get, but annoying. I have dealt with this type as we design and build electrical panels. Usually you hand the design to a panel builder and they will get it certified before delivery.
• Listed is for products and appliances, and is fully tested for safety. This applies to most consumer electronics.
• Certified Enhanced is also for products, and you can read up on it here: https://www.ul.com/news/qa-uls-enhanced-certification-mark
• Classified is for products and is half ass tested. All it means is that some requirements for UL were tested and passed, but not all.

If a product is Classified by UL, this can mean its testing meets the particular requirements for a single test with a published result, but has nothing to do with all the other tests that may form part of a Standard (i.e., UL 181).

As for pricing for UL listed, it can be just a few grand for a single product. Not much when you are selling thousands. I am sure Classified is even cheaper. I wonder how many of these cheap ass lamps say Classified.

No idea which phone you have, but dbrand does carry a decent amount of models. However, it is mostly limited to Apple, Google, Samsung, and One Plus. It does suck trying to find some things though. I do try to get things directly from the manufacturer website when it makes sense, but sometimes Amazon IS their website.

I like some things from Starbucks, but ever since the manager tore into an autistic girl for having the gall to have boundaries while being sexually harassed, I stopped going. I even reported that POS manager to the DM. Fuck that guy. Girl did nothing wrong and got shit on for "not reporting it the right way", "not working it out like an adult", and "being mean". FFS, the person she was training was the damn poster child for Sexual Harassment and she told him no, she did not want to be touched nor hit on.

I much prefer my local coffee shops, but they are all ~15 minutes away. Only one of them has a decent amount of seating with outlets. The rest are small and don't really accommodate people who want to work for a few hours, which is the main reason I am going to a coffee shop in the first place. The only close one was that Starbucks.

No shit.

That is nuts. I have to take these tests once or twice a year, but not once has my medication been held hostage over marijuana. I live in NY though, which is a mix of sane laws, personal freedoms, social safety nets, somewhat high taxes, and I can't do what now due to the assholes in NYC???

Either way, it sucks that we are treated like junkies to be prescribed life saving medication that we cannot be addicted to.

You have to have a really high AC, which is really easy to get for Shadowheart/Cleric with all the heavy armor and other healer gear available. Add the Blood of Lathander mace, and you are set.

I loved decking her out in BG3. Mobs trying to get her to lose concentration was adorable. She just stood there, with that expression.

Crowdstrike took Debian and Rocky down earlier this year due to a bad update... Linux is not immune.

Looks like she is out now! Yay!

Hey, I appreciate you at least. At my old job they had a big office in Monterrey, and they were some of the most hard working teams I had the pleasure to work with. I absolutely lost my shit if anyone treated them any differently and I hated how the company ran that division. Working with those teams is the only thing I miss.

The fact that they always had to get permission for any time off from the team leads, were scrutinized for every cent, and often not even given the tools they needed for their job, all in the name of "saving" money, was absolute bullshit. There really were some ridiculous double standards. We never denied time off and purchased what you needed. We knew how shitty the system was and did what we could.

So, one shitty American to an awesome Mexican, thank you. For every cook, every maid, field slave, factory worker, engineer, installer, and human from your country that just wants to exist somewhere safe, feed their family, and have a roof over your head, thank you.

I saw the picture first before reading your comment and thought it was from her channel. Bernadette is awesome.

Everything runs 24/7, but now I am thinking about theoretical power saving modes. Besides any built in power saving whatever (a little clueless), you could always throttle the CPU more. Not sure if it would be worth it without testing with a power meter.

We had a student run server for piracy at my University to get copied textbooks from, but even then we had to sometimes look elsewhere. I often couldn't afford books and not all professors allowed the cheaper used previous editions.

Science textbooks were the worst with their stupid fucking online code bullshit so we could do homework. They even made it where you could buy just the code, which was something like $70. Still better than 300+, but JFC. Having to spend over $1000 for books that you are only going to use for 10 weeks was nuts.

The last saving grace we had is all textbooks were required to have at least one copy in the library that could not be checked out/removed. You could photocopy the homework pages that way. If your classmates were nice, they would let you borrow theirs to copy any pages too. You could also buy your textbook, copy what you needed, and return it within the return window.

Me too!

Yup...and she still won! I am not from Mexico personally, but that has to irk the cartels just a wee bit.

Don't forget Mexico!

Probably markdown mistake. '#' is the syntax for Heading 1. '#metoo' movement.
