Harvey is a very economically depressed area. There’s a good chance that if the school didn’t feed the kids during Covid, the kids would have gone hungry.

But if it’s real and they don’t send the team, it would be considerably worse PR then “we wasted time and resources”.

Not having a term limit should keep you impartial since you don’t have to keep people happy, you just need to do what you believe is correct in the eyes of the law. The problem is that it also removes accountability.

Sky rocks bored of being in sky, so they come to ground. Ground rocks want to be in sky, so making them into arrowheads better. Also they fly longer.

It feels like you have an agenda that you are trying to apply to the CrowdStrike event and just so happen to slandering IT as an innocent bystander to the agenda you are putting forward.

If you had to summarize the goal of your initial post in less then 10 words, what would it be?

bloated IT budgets

Can you point me to one of these companies?

In general IT is run as a “cost center” which means they have to scratch and save everywhere they can. Every IT department I have seen is under staffed and spread too thin. Also, since it is viewed as a cost, getting all teams to sit down and make DR plans (since these involve the entire company, not just IT) is near impossible since “we may spend a lot of time and money on a plan we never need”.

NileRed made one of these recently.

This will be unpopular:

Before or at the same time as we fix sub-minimum wage, we need to also address the disability benefits cliff. I personally know multiple disabled people that limit how much they are working so that they don’t hit the cutoff where all the benefits disappear, not tail off. Generally these people enjoy their work and are capable of working more, but if they earn a dollar too much, they are screwed, loosing access to a number of subsidies and medical care.

Love the app and love the work you are doing on it! Thanks a bunch! I am running into one minor issue:

Right now if you block a community, then search for the community, it shows, but it will appear that there are no post in the community.

Ideally, if I am accessing a community from the search, even if I have blocked it, I would still like to see the post in it rather than having to unblock it.

For example, I almost exclusively use “All” and “Home”, in “All” political subreddits can get over bearing so I blocked it, but when I want to go look at the community in light of recent events, they all show as blank.

Ideally I would love a warning on the search page that I have blocked the community, but clicking into it will still show me all the post of the community.

The craziest part is that the facility believed to be the source of the jamming is estimated at only $6.7m to make.

He does bring up a good point that micro-transactions in news would make a lot of sense. I would pay 10 cents (if it was easy) to read a article, but you aren’t going to get me to sign up for a “less then a cup of coffee a month” subscription.

Looks like Carl from Pixar’s “Up” but if he died 55 years earlier and they Weekend-at-Bernie’s him for the movie.
