I believe they're probably referencing the recent disastrous flooding in Texas.

May not be it, but the shape reminds me of rat poop... It's not clear enough for me to say for sure.
Well, they have a security advantage. I know Google moved over to requiring a USB MFA key for their employees a few years ago, and saw a reduction in successful phishing attacks.
I would imagine one of these fobs is cheaper than a USB key. It also can work without being plugged into a computer, which is good.
Authenticator apps are nice and all, but are not going to provide as much security as one of these. Apps live on people's phones, and especially if it's a personal phone, you may not want to trust its security. If it's stolen or hacked, your multi-factor authentication just got less secure.
If you don't want personal devices in a building as well, these are useful.
Lots of reasons these are still totally good today!
(Not saying this was your case, but generally good to check) - a finicky/wobbly USB type c connector has been a symptom of a dirty charging port several times in the past. Awful lint/dirt would get packed down into it, preventing the charger from fully inserting.
I ended up carefully and gently picking it out, though there are some delicate small contacts in there!
Anyway, good luck trying GrapheneOS! It's been my daily driver for months and past the learning experience it's great!
Sorry folks. Because of the banana handouts, the company is short on cash for the quarter, so there will be no bonuses or raises.
Grab the door handle too hard and it's totaled. I'd say my car has maybe 250 health points. That's even counting the rust and the broken plastic clips!
It's survived being sideswiped - 150 damage, healed by using aftermarket panels and spray paint. Permanent -5 beauty debuff though.
It does have a curse (weakness to head gasket failure) though. But that hasn't killed it yet!
I mean there are ongoing costs with any form of power generation. Obviously there's fuel costs for most, but even other renewables have maintenance costs. You'll also need to keep investing anyway as power demands increase over time. So newer solar installations eventually replace the old.
I know someone with obsessive compulsive disorder, and I could see a chatbot being harmful there, depending on how it goes. A lot of compulsions are around checking or asking for reassurance. A chatbot would provide endless reassurance where a human might eventually get annoyed and cut you off. It would allow you to ruminate endlessly.
The problem is that engaging in compulsions keeps you in a cycle - it's never enough reassurance. The gold standard treatment is exposure response prevention (ERP), where you intentionally expose yourself to triggers and resist doing the compulsions.

Homo Sapi3n: Sape Harder
I'm worried I'll slip up and do it in public. Or maybe the ceiling will be so much more comfortable that I can never go back.
Oh, and that ceiling fan kinda hurts.
I have issues even with the simplest Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm dongle on my phone. The USB side rocks back and forth, disconnecting from the phone and exploding my ears with popping noises.
It's also flimsy as hell.
I find that 15% number interesting... For example, there's a highway near where I am with a 55 mph speed limit. But you'll rarely find people doing less than 60. Usually 65, with the occasional crazy person doing 80.
But I feel like raising the speed limit would defeat the purpose. Drivers would be happy, but then they'd just go 75. If traffic engineering amounts to "More than 15% are breaking the rules and driving in an unsafe manner, let's change the rules so that's legal," it seems pretty dumb. Like, that extra speed isn't suddenly safer because the sign says something else.
