It may interest you to know that pagers are still a thing, Motorola still makes them, and I know that one major use case is volunteer fire departments

I used to work on Motorola Minitor 5 pagers. Looks like they recently released their newest model, the Minitor 7

I wonder if pagers are still used in hospitals? I imagine so

Looks like the link has been updated to remove references to Pro plans. Unfortunate

edit: they changed it back, and it's actually working now :D

The moving background is absolutely intolerable, I didn't last ten seconds

I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it out

I got into making hot sauces recently. I didn't really care for any of the results until I started fermenting them. Chop up ingredients, add brine, put everything in a jar with a fermentation lid that allows gas to escape. Then let it sit on the counter for a week or two. blend and maybe add a bit of vinegar. That's the basic process, and in my humble opinion, it's the absolute best way to make hot sauce

(YMMV, do your own research, there are obviously risks to letting food sit out at room temperature for two weeks)

Kecap manis is delicious, I get the ABC brand. It's as thick as molasses. Wonderful drizzled over some chicken rice

Heist (2001) - Directed by David Mamet

It's not very well known or particularly well reviewed. It just clicked with me, I've watched it probably a dozen times. It's about a jewel heist and the drama surrounding it

Looks like Perplexity includes sponsored results at the bottom of your searches, and my UBO isn't blocking them. They seem to be fairly unobtrusive, though, and they are labeled as such. For now, at least.

I'm an American, I lived in Germany for several years around the turn of the century. German roads that I encountered were far superior to American roads. Their construction is far more robust, the roads last much longer. And with German lane discipline (passing someone on the right is practically a cultural taboo, it's a prohibition that's taken quite seriously) they are usually a joy to drive on.

I read the entire article and that wasn't my takeaway. After reading, I assumed that AWS was (somehow) billing for loopback bandwidth, it wasn't apparent (to me) from the article that CPU costs were the sticking point

I was in the USAF in the early 2000s, stationed in Germany. Due to a dispute with DT, I ended up using long distance calling cards to dial (overseas!) into AOL to get online. It was very involved. I imagine I may have been the only person in the country doing this
