Probably because this article is about the menu bar, not the touch bar.

Right, cause Nicotine is "only" a highly addictive, deadly poison.

Well, let's say that you have 2 physical locations, 10 racks each, and a cloud provider, the OS, the networking equipment, the smart PDUs, the iDRAC and firmware, kernel (reboot), containers, VMware hosts/vsphere, Openshift, a few windows boxes because why not, database, apache, and all the downstream. A "high" CVE has 3 weeks to be fixed.

How do your teams minimize the amount of time spent patching? It is an enormous time sink for our devops teams, even using industry-standard open source software basically everywhere.

Filestore is also really expensive for what is basically just NFS.

I would take a look at all the jobs on our board in Broomfield, CO. Not all are Java or Full stack. We write the job descriptions for ideal candidates, but we are specifically looking for Sr/Principal level engineers, and will pay accordingly (10-15 years experience).

It's certainly not bad. The stock is fantastic, my annual bonus can be over 20%. So, with healthcare, unlimited PTO, an onsite gym and cafeteria, etc, it's not a bad deal at all.

Yes, the housing in the immediate area is expensive (Boulder County, CO), but there are many more affordable places to live within commuting distance.

The average American gun owner has between 5 and 6 firearms. I just took the class.

Revolvers are absolutely more popular in areas where ammunition capacity is restricted. 7 round .357 is a great option in areas where there is a 10 round max for magazines.

Places out east (NY, NJ) have extremely low limits for capacity, both in effect and proposed. When ammunition capacity is reduced, there is an incentive to go for a (typically) more reliable revolver. Many people would rather have say a 7-shot 357 S&W wheelgun vs a 9-round (maximum) semi-auto magazine.

I ankle-carried a .357 snub for most of my life, and it literally weighed less than the 5 rounds that it held.

When was the last time that you went to DEFCON?

I worked for Accenture for a very short time, and I will say that they have no idea what they are talking about, regardless of what it is.

Somehow, I just found a charge for $3500 from Accenture on my credit report. It HAS to be from when I worked there. They either took back a bonus or thought that they paid me too much I guess. It's been years, I have never heard anything about it, and now my credit took a hit. Worst job/company ever would be an understatement. I quit in record time (<60 days).

If the machine doesn't have very many miles on it, it doesn't need a new chain unless it's terribly corroded or somehow damaged. If you get a new chain on a low-mileage bike, you will not need to replace the cassette/freewheel as well. If it's something with some miles on it, best bet is just to go for the whole drivetrain at once (chain rings, cassette, chain). I also used to be a bike mechanic. It's crazy to see the electronic shifting on high-end road rigs. Impressive, but crazy.
