Maybe not - but I work in a regulated industry, we had an employee get phished a few years ago, and the regulatory bodies wanted detailed records of all phishing testing and training conducted for the previous 5 years. So for some of us it's a necessary evil.

I'm in the midst of a transfer of enterprise account ownership with with Apple, and I can assure you, the only way to complete it is to wait for a phone call from Apple Support from 1-512-884-5022. You can call this number back and verify it is indeed Apple Support and get notified it does not accept inbound calls, only outbound.

Google Cloud will not cut you a break unless you have an incredible about of pull. Even then, you won't get much of one.

My Insta360 X3 shuts down quite a bit for heat too. Maybe these Ace Pros are better.

We have plans to visit for this coming New Years, (unless things get dramatically worse I suppose). Excited in reading your comment.

I don't disagree with your statement, but I'll note that as it pertains to engines in the GA world, there's not a lot of options that weren't designed in the 40s.

A myriad of things: Octane, ethanol, and also additives used in the winter vs the summer.

I'm an airplane owner, and I agree. If they had outlawed it, I bet the solution would have come a lot faster.

There's also distribution problems. Jet fuel aside, most airports only have one tank for servicing avgas. Once they switch over to non-leaded, now they have a customer base that may not be able to buy from them. Those revenues go to fund the airport operation.

There's going to have to be a concerted effort to fix type certificates and fuel distribution all at the same time. A slow effort is going to be more problematic.

Totally, but people on medicaid are people who essentially don't have money, right? In order to qualify, you must be below certain asset and income limits.

We have DPC, and it's amazing. We pay $250/month for a family of 4. Some places charge less, but then also charge you for each time you see the doctor. Ours is all inclusive except for any in office incidentals - like lab work.

It's truly amazing. Our doctor knows us all well, can get responses to email or text within just a few minutes, generally same day appointments, or next day if she's really busy. Most things we don't even need to go in for - I did a recent international trip, and she just ordered me all of the needed travel medications without having to stop in.

My wife got suckered into one a few days ago (though hung up before anything bad happened). We ordered a replacement pair of glasses for my daughter, and the store said they would call when the glasses came in so we could pick them up.

Flash forward a few days, and she gets an automated called saying something akin to "Your delivery is on hold, please press 1", so she did, and got connected to an "agent" who she started talking with. In her conversation it became obvious to me it was a scammer, so I told her to hang up, but not before she got overly concerned at me.

She's pretty aware of these things, but it was just a right place at the right time kind of thing that caught her off guard even though there were plenty of warning signs.

Maybe not quite the same, but https://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/ shuts down every Saturday for observation of the sabbath.
