Yes! That’s what I was hoping for when I clicked on it, too!

Fun story: for my final project in my high school junior-year history+literature class, I did the same: my friends and I grilled and served hotdogs to our class, and then proceeded to read the chapter of The Jungle that describes all manner of foul material falling into the sausage machinery. The reactions of my classmates still makes me grin 30 years on.

This is impressive! Perhaps this is because I’m from an English-speaking country, but I believe even in the real Criterion Closet, the spine title text orientation is top-to-bottom, rather than bottom-to-top.

The posts tend to get quickly flagged and thus buried. Search the archives for relevant names and keywords, and you’ll see lots of relevant yet flagged posts. Even discussions about this fact tend to get flagged.

I laughed when I read that, too. Like locking up that “$2MM dollars of information” in a vault secured with a piece of string.

This jibes with firsthand accounts I've heard from friends here in DC. If the goal is chaos and anarchy, then it's working. Has congress already abdicated its power?

Yes, this is how we already use a password manager like iCloud Keychain or 1Password.

Zoom does a pretty good job of hiding the link to join a meeting with your browser, only showing it (quickly) after you download their installer, and more often after a delay of several seconds. I poked around briefly and couldn’t find any hidden links that I could expose by a quick console script, though I haven’t looked through their client-side JavaScript yet. Anyone have any shortcuts or bookmarklets to make it easier to launch a meeting directly in the web client?

Sorry, I was referring to the previous commenter's list of suburbs, like Pentagon City, Clarendon, Rosslyn, Tysons, Reston, Herndon, etc. in that corridor out to Dulles.

(Downtown) Alexandria is lovely. Manassas and Fredericksburg (VA), and Frederick (MD), are very distinct from DC and the DMV suburbs, though—to me they feel much more like separate cities/towns in Virginia and Maryland (with all that Civil War history you're referring to).

Another counterpoint to this:

I live in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of DC and work (remotely) in tech. I would highly recommend—as have others here—that if you enjoy a nice walkable city, you should try living in DC proper, too, and if you _have to_ commute to one of those bland suburbs where the big HQs and startups are located, you'll be well positioned to reverse commute if you're near a Metro station in DC.

I moved here from San Franciso, where I had a similar reverse commute from SF down the peninsula to Cupertino for work in tech. I love DC for a lot of the same reasons I loved living in SF rather than in Silicon Valley—I much prefer city life to suburb life—even with all the grit and rough edges. If you do, too, I think you'd prefer DC proper to any of the suburbs.

This exact situation has been such a thorn in my side at my company lately. Does anyone know any way to disable this behavior, even just with Google Workspace accounts?
