I suppose certified mail becomes much more important, now, and lots of court and agency rules will have to add grace periods. This is NUTS!

As a lawyer, and as a patent practitioner especially: Oh. FUCK.

I am shocked, *SHOCKED* to discover that there is racism in this establishment! (Your twitter posts, Sir.)

I thought it was “Surfaci”? Also: I only ever run windows in a VM on my Mac. That way I can monitor and control everything it’s doing, and also: It runs faster than windows can on bare wintel metal. Bonus: Killing a session is way faster.

A painter’s tape / marker holder for the fridge. Great for dating all of the leftovers and prep items!

Monty’s uniform is always on-point!

If you need to stop an argument from escalating, I can provide the family with a steady string of objective critique, limited only by the size of your town’s strategic applesauce and sour cream reserves.

What was the differentiator for you? Vanilla? Nutmeg? Rum? Egginess? Something else?

Or, I would add, just let the *%#^ing subscription I’ve already paid for (sometimes in 3x different ways) *just work*.

Book, lectures, and TV series by Burke are all genuine treasures!

I thought I was escaping this kind of thing when I switched from physics to telecom. NOPE! I used to get “the monthly meeting” with cranks who “had solved all the problems of 9-1-1.” All you had to do was get every 9-1-1 center in the country to adopt their product. 🤦‍♂️

Same! They’re like Pokémon: gotta block em all.

I suddenly crave salami…

Back when I was a PMF, I attended a training where a very senior Fed explained this to my cohort bluntly. I’ll never forget the lesson: Accept that this is now /your/ duty, & accept it fast. When a crucial moment comes, no one else will (or can or, once you’re trained, should) decide things for you.

It is Satan’s trashbin of information. Zero value from any of their “alerts.”

Much better! Come stay!

A corollary to your original post that I’ve seen folks trip on:

If you didn’t consider the possibility that time might run backward at some point, you’re already screwed.

Almost nothing about 9-1-1 has anything to do with a “computer,” except in the limited sense that computers now simulate the 1970s-era telecom switches that *everything* in 9-1-1 has something to do with.
