His name is/was JonTron IIRC.
I stop being able to separate the art from the artist when they start using their platform to push their views. Which is what he did. If you are famous and you never mention your ideology then more power to you but when you go on a tirade during an interview about something else you lose that separation.

There are whole flying machines that rely on that effect.
You guys get to test?
I am glad it hasn’t been hard for you. Pretty much everybody I know has moved to other states because of how bad the jobs are here. I would if I could afford it.
I wish I still had your optimism and naivety. Last time this happened to me I was let go for “not fitting in with the culture” (the aforementioned culture of working all day), which is a completely legal reason in my state. I was denied unemployment despite being able to prove that I had been told to work all night. 10 years earlier I was let go for the same reason after refusing to participate in prayer during a meeting.
There is no protection for employees in the manner you are speaking of, at least not here.
I think maybe you don’t understand the difference between exempt and non-exempt employees here in the US. The law absolutely backs employers up on this unfortunately. Especially if, like me, you live in an at-will state.
let’s ignore XP as a more glossy consumer version of 2000
That feels like a dangerous argument;
Unless you are prepared to argue that everything since has just been an updated version of Vista.
I was literally told once “yes we can have meetings all day because you have all night to finish your code.” The same was expected when they had ‘team building’ outings.
The books, Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, are very good and very different from the movies. I also recommend Disclosure by the same author.
I was saying that my theory is that this functionality is broken or being bypassed on Windows such that when it gets hit by for instance the Network Discovery or “Do you have this update already downloaded?” ping from another Windows computer it wakes up to have a chat. I meant other systems are looking for active machines and those pings are waking it up or keeping it from going to sleep. I may have chosen a bad slang since ‘ping’ is a net command.
This theory is based on my understanding that computers don’t go all the way to sleep anymore and reenabling S3 restores normal sleeping. I included WoL because I have a machine that doesn’t have the S3 option but disabling WoL seemed to help on that one.
Right but my point was that doesn’t matter if your machine is in S3 or S4 instead of S1.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say.
I have had some luck disabling Wake-On-LAN on the systems that don’t need it, or enabling higher sleep modes on the systems where that is available. My pet theory is that a lot of systems are constantly looking at what is active on the network and those pings are keeping the machine awake.
Not OP but just to hazard a guess:
Alcohol evaporates quickly. It’s probably there for the same reason it’s used in dry shampoos and antiperspirants; to make something that sprays but drys into a powder or thickens to a gel in a very short period of time.
That Xbox would become Microsoft’s Steam has been the prevailing prediction for the better part of 10 years. I am immediately dubious of anybody who’s opinion is that a more capable than the Xbox device (as far as availability of games) has no reason to be purchased.
Probably;
Wood structures fair better in high wind and in earthquakes. Things we have far more of in North America.
Modern cars (in the US) are required to have an OBD-II Port for On-Board Diagnostics. I always assumed most cars these days were just sending some or all of the real-time OBD data to the manufacturer. GM definitely has been.
If this is you, try drinking more water.
“After these messages, we’ll be ‘light’ back!”
From what I have seen the newest consensus seems to be that they were essentially a massive jobs program.
