I started with a new employer just before they shut over Christmas. When my next payslip came through and I saw my holiday time had been reduced, into the negative, I was livid.

What is the advantage of this beyond something like a mirror, or looking over your shoulder?

I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.

Looks like they've even got one for when the local restaurant gets blown away. https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/mcrig-hurricane-ian.html

I did mean the government, and by Trump I meant the current administration under Trump.

But now you mention it, I can't think of a single Saudi person I'm a fan of, despite working there on and off for some time.

I know it's fun to use this sort of thing to bag on the Saudis and on Trump, and I'm a fan of neither, but just wanted to point out that this kind of thing is pretty common.

It's just a food truck. Sure it's a bit bigger than your average food truck, but that are catering to larger crowds. I've seen these at events across Europe, and in Australia. I'm sure there's plenty trundling around the States as well.

The way I understand it, a physical asset is something you can see and touch, like a house or a hammer. There's things that a share gives me that BTC does not, but ultimately they are more similar to each other than to something like a physical chunk of gold or a silo full of grain.

There is no physical company. I can't eat Microsoft any more than I can eat a Bitcoin, as much as I might want to.

I never knew prescriptions were country dependent- What differs?

You could get your thermostat checked. Depending on the stove, it's something you could probably do yourself. It's like a ten dollar part, maybe?

I don't think any of the climbers I know would call it an adrenaline sport. It's slow, considered, thoughtful. It certainly gets a high sometimes, pun intended, but it's much more akin to a runners high or the elation of finishing a difficult task well.

I agree there is an obfuscation of what is happening under the hood in Windows and Mac systems- but that doesn't stop the tech savvy from digging a bit further. I played around with resource files back in my System 6, 7, and 8 days, and got pretty comfortable with registry edits from Windows 95 onwards.

I think it's more that Linux only appeals to the tech savvy, precisely because of the lack of that obfuscation layer.
