I don't see the problem with cable syncing, which works fine for me with lots of music and three devices I sync to, but you do you.

So, you've seen Days of Heaven, too?

(actually, I only lasted through the first 20 minutes)

I worked at Disney Animation during the 90s. Yeah, my career may have peaked 30 years ago but not everyone gets a peak like that. "A gift" is the best way to describe it.

Probably so the appliance can let a server know to have your phone notify you that your appliance is done doing what it was doing.

I don't want to wait that long. If I get diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I am taking a quick farewell tour of family and friends and then I'm done. I don't want to wait so long that I need someone else to off me. I wish that all wasn't necessary but this country (US) isn't going to get smarter anytime soon.

I bought one from 1965 last year. Got it cheap on eBay. Seller said it didn't work. Seller just didn't know how to turn the knob on the side. I have to buy bread that isn't as wide as I was getting but it's totally worth it. Perfect toast every time.

I have this cousin, Vinny, who's a lawyer, and he was able to use his girlfriend as an expert witness. Both sides agreed she really knows her stuff because that's what really matters.

Charge for support emails. $1 (or whatever) to fill out a form and have a support email delivered to you. All other support emails (presumably to old addresses) will be ignored.

Household electric doesn't necessarily take years but it takes longer than 60 days of YouTube videos.

So you haven't done bug fixes on something poorly architected initially because the project was started by anyone with a pulse instead of someone experienced?

Same with electrical. Yeah, you can learn the basics but only experience is going to get you to do it right. And two months ain't enough experience to do all the new construction electrical for someone else's house. Doing it for yourself is fine because only you have to deal with what you didn't do completely right when you didn't know any better.

Not when I worked in the US govt. We were told that everything we did in our Slack was FOIA-able. FWIW.

> ...the biggest thing these programs did successfully was just diversifying the entry points so that you could even begin to start conversations with people from other backgrounds.

This. This was my experience with DEIA programs in the government. It was always about diverse recruitment, not hiring. People believe what they want to, though.
