TIL. I mean, the headers on most boards are easy to find, so a few paperclips and some tape could be your USB port. And most built-in peripherals use the interface so it probably isn’t disabled. The rest depends on how thoroughly their IT vendor locked things down.

I think you’re describing an important step of online mental hygiene. The reality is that humans have not evolved with the daily emotional bandwidth necessary for one to handle a planet’s worth of grief responsibly and without inuring oneself to others’ suffering.

I’ve seen people criticize this as head-in-sand, that you should remain available to amplify voices and causes in online discourse (especially theirs). I see that criticism as unthoughtful, bordering on unkind, and a critical problem with how we do online advocacy.

(Aside: “conflict” appears twice in keyword list, which has no effect now but can cause unexpected behavior later)

IIRC caffeine temporarily blocks adenosine receptors, so I think that does work up to a point.

If you mean dd-mm-yyyy instead of mm-dd-yyyy, I’d agree it’s superior. That said, other countries have us both with their fully ISO compliant yyyy-mm-dd standard.

Heard, keeping the ledger balanced

Guys it’s just a joke about the name of an old math problem. OP linked it and everything.

Yeah unfortunately English painted itself into a corner on this front, and unavoidable ambiguity is a dealbreaker for scheduling, so… RIP biweekly.

And the ambiguity fits bisexuality better anyway. It’s useful too. You can use it to cut the knot on the bi-vs-pan debate, for example, or avoid silly arguments about gender distribution of partners, or say “nunya,” etc.

Someone’s not an ambi-turner

As opposed to semi-ennial. How could anyone be confused by this?

American scientists are on the forefront of nearly every field of research

Even if we were, I think we must concede that we’re in the bargain bin now, or soon will be. 750M of current research grants at my school alone, likely more to come, and certainly fewer if any new grants outside whatever pet projects the regime fancies. Best of luck, wherever you land.
