MS pulled access to the azure environment of a (Russian owned) bank in NL and despite NL court orders asking for the data to be made accessible, it took diplomacy and a US court order to get access. This was not during trump admin.

We’ve been saying “this would never happen” and trump admin has slowly been shifting the Overton window.

Yep one of the big drivers is flexibility in capex vs opex. They’ll shape the contract whichever way you want but on prem is straight to capex. I think. I’m not an accountant.

My dishwasher never gets hot water. The line is stone cold before it starts and the hot water doesn’t reach the dishwasher before it stops filling. I should really just plumb it in to the cold side and save the energy on the water heating. Intake water temperature shouldn’t matter for dishwasher performance in 2025. Any dishwasher worth owning has water heating capabilities built in.

So my conclusion (reinforced by the other trouble you’ve had) is that the water heater has failed, or perhaps it or the temperature sensor wasn’t plugged back in when you took it apart.

Look at the top valued companies in USA. This will hurt.

  1. Slash funding to postsecondary education, encouraging institutions to bring in international students
  2. Heavily market immigration opportunities to potential international students
  3. Act surprised when entry level jobs fill up

President Taco notwithstanding, it can’t have been that surprising.

This is important:

Extended unemployment periods carry consequences that reach far beyond economic hardship. Young people experiencing prolonged joblessness often face mental health challenges, delayed financial independence, and difficulty establishing career trajectories. These critically missed opportunities also have repercussions for their professional networks and workplace skills.

I can’t wear glasses in sauna because they get too hot.

The room is at at 90-110 and the only reason I’m not is because I’m sweating, but my glasses and hair and whatever isn’t wet and evaporating gets burning hot to the touch.

Reminds me. I need to build one in my garden.

But I had some sunglasses that have had the coating peel off just outside of warranty and I think it’s because they’re dark and got hot in the sun. I feel like that should be a consideration when designing the coating.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.

It’s not always the case that builders provide parking. The market demands shareholder profits, and if you don’t build a driveway, that’s more units you can fit on a given plot of land.

This is the trend I’m observing, but I’m certain it is not universal.

Theres a lot of shitty dog owners out there. Also, glad you’re able to work through the phobia.

Changing rules for parking generally serves only to create local parking shortages (and subsequent emotional discussions) as rhetoric underlying problem is not addresssed. This is a bit chicken-and-egg, but consider what happens if a standard subdivision is built without driveways, parking lots, or garage space. A 2 mile walk to the grocery store doesn’t really work. Instead, the regulations should be for higher density, space for bicycles (and transit), and space for essential amenities like small, local grocery stores and restaurants. ETA - with current conditions creating unplanned multigenerational housing, dad, mom, kid1, kid2, and partners makes for tight parking even with 3 spots.

You know, like they used to build before it was about maximizing the revenue per square mile of land?
