This is war, not a slope. Escalations happen in every conflict this is the next step. And why bring Israel into this? Especially when they glassed Palestine...

It is a civilian infrastructure target, which is being used by the military for storage, warehousing and distribution. Items such as drone parts, drone release mechanisms for payloads, fiber optic spools, body armor gear and the logistics network.

If US was using walmart to supply troops, even if its mostly used by civilians it could make it a legitimate target

On the topic of vaping to quit I would add something I learned my self.

I tried to quit smoking with vaping 3 times before it worked and it was due to a multitude of reasons.

1. Cheap vaping kits. They leak, are hard to change the coils and to fill up with liquid. On my current attempt, I got a proper set (40eu) and made sure it fills up by unscrewing the top and not the whole top bit. It stops leaking, its easier to fill up and its less of a chore.

I think that was the main reason as with cheap kits, they would leak, be hard to maintenance and it was such a hassle that picking up a cigarette and lighting it up was much easier.

2. Flavours, as you mentioned finding a flavour you like and sticking to it is key. I tried many and found just the right flavour level that suits me and it was a huge break through for me.

I started on 12mg nicotine level, lowered to 6mg after 4 weeks, and 6 months later I'm on 3mg and feel so much better. My next step is to go no nicotine vape then kick it entirely.

Instead of Ducky One 2, I would look into either Varmilo or Leopold. Similar design, better quality and in the case of Leopold its very understated, no RGB and game-ry branding.

Looks good but if I may add a suggestion is to remove the slides from google docs. Maybe let us download them locally?

1. Corp VPN's will block google docs very regularly 2. Some people refuse to use google services 3. It shouldn't take you to a different domain to read the learning material

Reading that article it actually makes sense. But to potentially spend between 78,000 and 120,000 dollars a year to manage your SaaS would require a high assessment if it's worth it. Especially when they are targeting small to medium companies, for which that money could be spend on a few junior developers, sales people, or on ACTUAL SaaS.

It's a tough sell but I can get the idea

Vendr.com: A SaaS to keep track of your SaaS subscriptions.

and a 6.5k or 10k PER MONTH for someone to buy your SaaS subscriptions seems super expensive. I'm not too versed in the SaaS market but is this really something that you need a dedicated "SaaS expert" to manage for you?

I did a 6 month internship in IBM 2 years ago and I'm glad I didn't get an offer at the end of it. The culture, the politics and the fear was too much for me.

Every week there would be some sort of a "commotion" or "going away" party as people were let go. It mostly DBA's and Unix Support guys that were clearly over 40 years old.

My manager was straight up implying "if you don't get the work done, you won't get a good reference for me and you'll be on the next list". I'm in my 20s and that was the first time someone in a professional setting threatened me in such manner.

I needed a reference after I left, but from my team the manager was let go, 3 out 5 team members were let go and the others and the remaining 2 left. The manager of the manager was forced to a sabbatical and just like that poof, my old team was gone.

I will never go back to IBM, no matter how cool and hip they make it for my generation.

Interesting.

I get a 0.7 on Chrome with no account logged in and uBlock Origin installed.

Same browser, same plugin but incognito it's 0.1.

Papa google needs my data to trust me. Makes complete sense but still interesting that you can affect your score by giving in.
