Speaking from personal experience, 9F won’t kill you, at least not quickly, and it’s pretty easy to put on enough clothes that you can spend entire work days outside being comfortably warm. I used to work outdoors regularly in Alaskan winters and except for days where it got down to around -20F I was usually able to keep warm just by having proper attire.
You can’t really do that at 100F. Sure, it probably won’t kill you if you stay hydrated, but it will never be comfortable.
Probabilities - The mathematically determined chance that something will happen given a specific scenario.
Possibilities - The set off all things with a >0% chance of happening given a specific scenario.
Plausibility - The outcomes of a specific scenario, that when presented to a reasonable person, that person would determine that they are possible.
One rule of thumb for cybersecurity is that if an attacker has physical control over your device for any period of time you should treat that device as if it is already compromised, because that is how generally easy it is to compromise something you have physical access to.
However, do you actually have reason to suspect your roommate of being an attacker? Just because they have a degree, a job, and maybe some level of skill doesn’t mean they have the motivation, lack of integrity, and criminal intent to actually carry out such an attack.
If you’re concerned about something like that, there are things you can do to mitigate risk, like setting start up passwords, using disk encryption, powering off devices you’re not actively using, and physically securing unattended devices. However, basically nothing you can reasonably do will stop a determined attacker if they live with you and thus have or can easily gain physical access to your devices.
I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.
If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.
I think they also did the opening and closing for Call of the Night, but of which are also great.
pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.
And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.
Also, related to proper use of turn signals, you should signal well in advance of your turn. The rule of thumb I learned was your signal should be on for three seconds of before you turn, assuming you’re currently in motion. Additionally, you should actually use your turn signal. Far too many people seem to be scared of the blinken lights. There is no reason not to use your turn signal.
If you’re turning and think you have a reason not to use your turn signal, you’re wrong. Fucking Signal.
Do you like shrimp? Lobster? Crab? You’ll probably like bugs.
Needless to say, I will continue to feast upon the arthropods.
See a doctor if it lasts longer than four hours.

The term village is used to describe certain categories of populated areas, either colloquially or legally, in 27 states.
Ah yes, the infamous “stinky cheese” email virus. Who knew zip bombs could be so destructive. It erased all of the easter eggs off of my DVDs.
Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.
If I’m likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.
Otherwise, I ain’t no snitch and even if I were I don’t know anything about nothing.
I’m far from an expert on the topic, but I’ve worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.
Basically, it’s any kind of military work that isn’t affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.
It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.
Yes. You’re supposed to use it anytime you’re about to turn or change lanes, including if you’re sitting in a turn lane at a red light or backing out of a drive way or parking spot.
Not doing so makes you a road hazard.
Boredom is the key to learning something it’s just very likely that it won’t be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.
My job’s unlikely to go anywhere unless I commit a heinous crime and I already live well below my means in terms of required expenses.
I’m probably going to be fine, but just in case I intend to increase my cash savings and stock up a bit on nonperishable food and other required household goods.
Other than that there’s not a lot of prep I can do.
“Sounds shitty, have you considered suicide?”
Younger me was depressed, pessimistic, arrogant, and very much so an asshole with selective hearing. He would only hear the parts of what’s happened that fit what he expects to happen.
And despite quite a few negatives over the last decade or so, I’ve managed to do pretty well for myself.
He’d probably also tell me to lift with my knees. I had to do some heavy lifting at work yesterday and now my back’s sore.
My recommendations are oriented towards people with a christian background, that said a lot of the ideas involved can be applied to religious belief systems as a whole.
Isaac Asimov’s guide to the Bible - an annotated version of the old and new testament that provides additional clarity and historical context.
The Skeptics Annotated Bible by Steven Wells - A version of the King James Bible with annotations written from an Atheist’s perspective.
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins - A book that walks through a lot of the logical fallacies, magical thinking, and cognitive biases that Dawkins sees in religious belief. As the title suggests the tone of the book is rather aggressive (which I think is a bit counterproductive) but if you can read past that there’s a lot of good information.
Every time I see the word “females” in contexts like this I imagine the person writing the post is a Ferengi pretending to be human.
