I shed a tear and sing In the Arms of an Angel by Heather McLachlan every time I do this. Even for a single noodle.

It’s definitely not required, but ever since we got one I’ve grown to like it. If you have a ceramic sink it helps prevent scratches. It also helps dishes stay put, like pot lids that normally slide around. Most of all I like it when I put a strainer down. I know the strained liquid won’t touch the sink and flow back into the food, even if the risk was low before.

I wish! It’s more of a loose collection of random business softwares in various states of abandonment. D365 CE is a platform for Sales teams to organize and track leads, quotes, contracts, etc. D365 BC is an ERP platform born out of the ashes of NAV, the core of which Microsoft bought decades ago. D365 F&O, D365 S&M, and others are various flavors of AX, another ERP platform Microsoft bought over a decade ago. They are direct competitors to D365 BC for some reason. None of these softwares can communicate directly with each other, and none allow direct access to the Azure SQL. Occasionally Microsoft will throw a bone towards integration stuff like DualWrite or Synapse or Fabric, but they can never seem to commit and eventually abandon those too.

I would actually be much happier if it was just crummy databases instead of an archipelago of rotting digital islands.

Against every developer’s advice, management has moved our entire stack to Microsoft Dynamics 365. It took over a year of prep, millions in ISV consulting charges, and it performs like trash. Now management is constantly complaining about outages, Microsoft nickles and dimes us for tens of thousands more than the estimates, and they are constantly jerking us around to half-baked tech by removing support for anything that actually works. “Want data out of F&O? We’re killing everything except Synapse Link. You spent months migrating yet it drops data? That’s not surprising since we fired everyone working on it. You should be on Fabric! No, that’s not finished either, but we need to test it on someone!”

I’m very bitter.

Plus that Gavin Belson guy keeps trying to jam his horrible signature into his products.

I’m really proud of you! I started a diet two years ago and it was really rough at first. Eventually it gets easier and becomes second nature.

I had a lot of self esteem issues at the time because I felt like I had no control over myself. I realized that every time I was tempted to eat and didn’t I was proving that I was actually in control. It made a sort of motivational spiral or feedback loop.

So stick with it and recognize every small victory as proof you are capable of doing this. If you’re lucky that moment of pride can give you a tiny dopamine hit to make up for not eating that snack.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this I’d have enough nickles to fund a studio and make HL3 myself.

I’m running the same version of Jerboa but I’m not seeing this issue. I’m on a different instance, though. I assume you already killed the app and restarted it?

This is my exact setup. The upgrade from the smart TV was night and day. Apps load instantly and Jellyfin works great. Most importantly the remote is easy to use and can control the TV.

I used to love C++ and I still do to some extent. But the longer I am away from it the more I realize it was largely just Stockholm syndrome.

It would fail if they tried today. But after 3-7 more years of eroding voting rights, empowering intimidation and misinformation groups, and emplacing loyal people in state governments? I think they could get all 50 states. He’s going to run for a third term regardless because it’s obvious by now that nobody will stop him, but having the amendment in place will be a fitting capstone to his power grab.

I can’t speak for the desktop side, but for my server it’s been running without interruption for years. About once per week I do something stupid and use all available memory, but it hasn’t crashed once. It just runs a bit slow until I free up some RAM, then Docker comes back to life once I free up some disk space. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a server OS that just works.

I’ve explained hundreds of different games over the years and top-down is always the way to go:

• “This is the theme and how to win” ↓
• “These are the things you need to win and these are the things that will hinder you” ↓
• “This is how each round is structured so you can get/avoid those things”.

If you do it bottom-up then people ask, “Why would I want that?” or “What’s that for?” and you’re constantly replying, “I’ll get to that”.

Practice rounds are one of my favorite ways to do it, but sadly my current group doesn’t like them. Definitely the way to go if you can, though.–

“But it wouldn’t hit the fan so much if we stopped using Microsoft’s half-baked products!”

It always falls on deaf ears. I can’t believe how many millions my employer throws at Microsoft every year just to complain about how broken it is.

I had to look this place up. I was not aware the federal government ran a theater. Is this something the president has any legal control over or is he just doing as he pleases?

I thought this was the very thing the GOP said the Executive Branch can’t do when they blocked student loan forgiveness.

I got one of these recently and it works well. Much smoother than whatever my Smart TV is natively running and it doesn’t crash constantly.

If it were just me I’d have set up a small HTPC with Kodi, but my family needs something that works without ever needing my intervention, and it needs to run the 100 streaming services we hemorrhage money to. These boxes are super cheap and let me run Jellyfin too.

Up until this article I legitimately assumed that’s what was happening in the image. I don’t understand what message the suspect was trying to send, but the investigators seem confident it was intentional, I guess.

These artifacts from Santa Elina are roughly 27,000 years old — more than 10,000 years before scientists once thought that humans arrived in the Americas.

Very cool.

I do this, but be warned some companies use Amazon for fulfillment. I have ordered directly from manufacturer websites and still ended up with an Amazon package at my door. I just make a note to find a different brand if I ever need that thing again.
