That's me. I've only lived in one apartment with a dishwasher, and that was only for a year. We just used it as storage for pots and pans. My folks have a dishwasher now, but any time I go visit them I just wash stuff by hand, at least partly because I don't know how to dishwasher.

A combination of a good lock (I think those Kryptonite New York locks are well reviewed) and having a bike that doesn't look desirable. If your bike is obviously high end, it's a target. If it looks like an old beater, thieves probably won't bother. As often, anyway.

I think we're saying the same thing there: LLMs are great at spewing out a ton of content, which makes them a great tool for brainstorming. The content they create is not necessarily trustworthy or even good, but it can be great fuel for the creative process.

You're confusing brainstorming with content generation. LLMs are great for brainstorming: they can quickly churn out dozens of ideas for my D&D campaign, which I then look through, discard the garbage, keep the good bits of, and riff off of before incorporating into my campaign. If I just used everything it suggested blindly, yeah, nightmare fuel. For brainstorming though, it's fantastic.

Used to, until the tinnitus kicked in.

I'm a proponent of this myself. I think the big barrier to just using UTC everywhere is with the clock as a symbol: right now if you're watching a movie or a TV show and see someone's alarm going off at 6:00, you know "oh, they're a pretty early riser." If everyone used UTC, that time could be local noon, or the person could be late for work, out any number of other things.

That also applies to when people move to a new place; if I'm used to having lunch at 20:00 UTC and then move across the country, suddenly lunch is at 17:00 UTC. Symbols are really important to people, so I think these are both problematic. Meetings would be easier, but offline life would be harder.

Does KeePass support passkeys?

That doesn't sound like a particularly feasible plan. I would hope that grad student would tend to be attracted to places with a program renowned for their chosen girls of study. I can't imagine they're making the assumption that all indigenous grad students want to study the same thing, so then what are they doing? Simply providing financial incentives for indigenous grad students? That sounds great, but I'm curious about the source of funding. If that's not it... What?

Just as an FYI, that's "per se"

On top of all that, most hitting contacts I've seen contain language saying that if you use company resources to make a thing, that thing, the company owns that thing. Seems likely that in addition to firing they could compel you to turn over the drive and wipe it.

The word you're thinking of might be oligarchy?
