Microsoft still has a good reputation?

One thing my inlaws ran into with this issue is that the contractor had worked with literally every lawyer in our town and the surrounding ones, so no one could take their case because conflict of interest.

But as far as paying a lawyer, they'd likely also lump their fees into the lawsuit.

What the hell are you talking about? Permissions issues in Windows have absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft owning your files.

They can and will

Probably since I'm assuming most of them are white.

Old white people basically never think they're going to be the target for government discrimination.

It's not rare for the first company to bring a product to market to not be the top dog once other companies get involved.

For instance, Kodak pretty much invented the digital camera, but Canon and Nikon are the clear leaders now while Kodak's digital camera division was sold off.

Both systems are crap because humans suck and will let people with type b personality disorders ruin it.

That would be irrational of me

It encompasses every other possible number combination you could ever think of.

Allegedly.

My experience is the opposite, but I realize that's because I'm a white dude.

I have, they just kinda shrugged and said that's weird. Had cardiac workups and echos and everything done.

 

It had been 30 days, so I was in the clear

 

I was installing a TP-link HS210 3-way smart switch in my dinning room. On the side with the mains power I do have a neutral wire, but on the other switch I have no neutral wire from the wall (for that breaker). I do have a switch that's on the kitchen breaker right next to it, though, and that has a neutral and ground.

In my breaker box, both the neutral and grounds appear to be on the same row of lugs.

Running the neutral wire from the switch to the ground works, and I'm thinking it's because it's all going to the same place. This specific switch didn't explicitly say to do this, but other switches I've installed did.

Now, I could run the switch's neutral to the neutral on the kitchen circuit. I didn't at first because I had the other switch wired wrong, so I thought it was the no neutral switch causing issues.

 

This previous Saturday, I decided to try out my new battery powered 8" mini chainsaw. I was very stupid, and ended up holding a branch that was too small to stabilize it so it could cut it off. Of course, the saw bounced and hit the hand holding the branch.

I got two 1-2mm deep chunks taken out of my index finger knuckle, and a deep flap cut into my thumb. The weirdest thing was that it really didn't hurt; I was just annoyed that blood was everywhere.

Here I am nearly 4 days out, and my thumb is almost completely healed, and the deepest cut on my knuckle is only like 2 days from being completely healed over. The only part of the whole process that hurt was putting pressure on everything immediately after cleaning it, and putting the liquid bandage on my knuckle (it's acetone based).

I'm actually slightly concerned about my pain threshold, because I cut open my shin on a server rail yesterday and it really didn't hurt either.

 

Hello all, I plan to use my Panasonic LUMIX G85 (micro 4/3) with a 3D scanner setup. This will be fairly close photography, with the max object size being in the 24in(61cm) range.

I have a basic telephoto and nifty fifty, but wasn't sure if there was something better suited for my purpose.

If it makes any difference, I was planning on using a vertical line laser in a black box to take the pictures. I'm assuming there's a filter that can help.

I know this question requires rather specialized knowledge, but if anyone has that knowledge, it's Lemmy.

 

I'm guessing the answer is leverage, but I have no clue.
