Yeah, exactly my thoughts. At retirement age, most or all your investments should be low risk.

And make sure to use enough vermouth! None of this “wave the vermouth bottle near the shaker” nonsense. A martini should be about 1/4 vermouth as a starting point.

Seriously, why didn’t they stick his arm through one of those portals and then close it? Wouldn’t that sever the arm and separate Thanos far from the gems?

It’s for work only, no gaming. I have a Steam Deck and a Linux desktop for gaming.

My hardware refresh came up this year. I asked for a MacBook instead of a windows laptop for the first time in my long career. Linux isn’t an option at my org yet.

This has the stench of junior engineer all over it. This rewrite will go way over budget and come limping across the finish line late, with more bugs and less features than the system it replaces. I guarantee it.

Wake up babe, Reefer Madness 2 is about to drop

Re: length of commands, PS commands are longer, but they also have tab completion so realistically you never type the whole thing, only enough to be unambiguous and press tab. I'll grant it's still longer than the equivalent bash, but not by as much as it appears.

Yes, but the alternative is not problem-free either. There are no easy answers here, but I don’t think the current situation is ideal.

I believe it isn't really the people; it's the mental illness or addiction that keeps them from accepting help. Every chronically homeless person I've met is one, the other, or both. While I understand it's tempting to think that we should let them decide whether to accept help or not, I don't think that worldview takes into account that you're talking about people that are actually incapable of making decisions in their own best interests. I personally think it's inhumane that they are not taken into protective custody and allowed to live in dignity.

Not exactly, but chronically homeless people would rather be homeless than stop doing the things that caused their homelessness in the first place. The ones who really did just have bad luck tend to bounce back with the assistance available to them fairly quickly, never to be seen again by me.
