LTL, the next frontier in logistics optimization

They're _excellent_ for wiring devices into junction boxes in construction; particularly when connecting the higher gauge luminaire wires of an overhead light to romex. For some reason they're polarizing among electricians in the US (they carry all necessary listings for use in the US...). By contrast, they're widely accepted and used elsewhere.

These infections are a huge problem. My neighbor missed 2 _years_ of college recovering from a C. diff infection. And you are correct: fecal transplant is the way, for now.

Per the article, these bleach (sodium hypochlorite) resistant spores are a HUGE problem. At my office, we clean surfaces with quaternary ammonium compounds, and those are supposed to be superior against spores. But still, if the required contact times to disinfect surfaces keep increasing in healthcare settings, we are going to have a major issue where only the most resistant spore-forming bacterial strains survive (basically, we'll be selecting for the strongest... you know, evolution).

Here's the relevant legalese from Toyota: "By purchasing or leasing a vehicle equipped with an active Connected Services system, you specifically consent to our electronic collection and use of your account information and vehicle data and our storage of such data wherever we designate."

"Fun" right?

Yours is the correct answer (B&W laser). Ours reports 8,620 pages successfully printed. The laser cartridges last an absurd amount of pages, and they don't dry out. I've had to replace our Brother printer's feeder cam lever (part #LY2579001) twice. I expect I'll have to do that a few more times before I'm done with this printer. But, what do you expect after 12 years?

Am I the only one who never gives out their real phone number? I give the same fake one to every single business that asks for it, including CC verification stuff on websites. Never had a problem, and really seems to cut down on junk calls...

Hmm. If you are saying we are all interconnected, relying on the diverse resources, products, and gifts from around this small planet to do the things we want to do, e.g. care for our sick, advance the common good, protect the vulnerable, provide stable sources of food _so that_ our global population can grow in a safe, equitable, sustainable manner toward lives full of fulfillment and wonder, away from subsistence living that steals time and health and hope from those stuck with no other choice, then, yes.

But if you mean the US should take credit, then, no.

Also not OP, but another yes to Synology - I have also found them to be worth it. I've been running mine (DS1517+) for 5.5 years continuously now.

I wirelessly back up my Macs and then use Backblaze B2 for offsite backups of that. I've found by combining this with the snapshot features of btrfs that this has been reliable.

My Synology is wired to my home cat 6, and the only thing stopping me from getting 10GbE to the devices that need it most is the stubbornly high prices of 10GBASE-T switches (I keep hearing it has something to do with heat (?)).

If you choose to mirror your drives, you can achieve some really good read speeds, which is nice.

I too have noticed this. I believe the Dark Sky website and app will continue to become less accurate... I think the explanation is (somebody who knows more please correct me): Dark Sky's technology was acquired by Apple and integrated into the Apple Weather built-in app... and the decision was made that any improvements/updates/maintenance on the Dark Sky service itself are accessible exclusively through that Apple Weather app now. As a user of the Dark Sky website, I feel sad.

Thank you! You are correct. Off to my friendly local Apple.

Not to make this my personal tech support but... I thought my 2017 model was 'vintage' status and not repaired at Apple anymore? I'll see what I can find out...
