With this president flattery will get you everything. If you don’t publicly praise him he will come for you and your users.

I am not saying that I love the endorsement, I do understand it.

It is almost as though TiK Tok’s data collection was a symptom of unregulated data collection. If only there was some way to reduce the amount of data companies were allowed to collect. Oh well I guess we can just ban this one as well.

There is actually some research on this and yes cats and dogs often have a preference for which side they favor. The distribution is far more even than it is with humans and many more are ambilateral and work well with either side without showing a strong preference.

More interesting than cats and dogs are chickens and pigs. Most chickens don’t have a strong preference but those that do have a dominant eye tend to react to visual stimuli faster than other chickens. Pigs often have a dominant side of their about and it often corresponds with the direction their tails spiral.

Entering an intersection before they are sure there will be enough space to clear it.

I don’t think there is an intellectual answer because it is not an intellectual desire. There is nothing cerebral about the process it feels more limbic. We like them because our bodies demand it. There is no rational reason, there is nothing to understand except our biology. You are not missing the point or not seeing what we see you just don’t have the same biological response.

My brother in law thinks cilantro is super gross, it’s so bad that he won’t go into certain Mexican food places because the smell is so appalling. Personally hardly notice it at all. I see his reactions and they align with the things I already know to be true about his situation but I just don’t feel the way he feels. I know how he person feels but I will never truly understand the sensations.

All that to say we just think they are nice.

There was a guy I used to see in traffic who used to play trumpet as he drove. It’s been more than 20 years since I saw him and I still think about it from time to time.

I have a gaming PC I use a lot and I have a Microsoft Surface Pro. I take my Surface everywhere and use it for everything when I am not at home. I also have an office and at the office I use a dock for my Surface. I use my phone when the job is small enough that I expect to be able to do that work in less time that it would take me to get out my Surface.

I take a lot of notes with the surface, even when working at my desk. I can draw a lot of the problems at work better than I can describe them with words and since getting the surface I have hardly touched my waycom. Being able to see my drawings on the surface while I draw is super useful.

I am in IT and I feel like I speak for the industry we don’t care. Some of my customers have regulators who make arbitrary and capricious decisions with a minimal understanding of infosec but we have to keep the customer compliant.

I’m using SurfShark. I have not seen it once in the discussion so far. Is there something I don’t know that I should?

Adam Schiff is so fucking slimey. I do not want that man to represent me. He spent millions to boost a republican so that he would not have to run against Katie Porter. It reminds me of Hillary’s superdelegates. The party is broken, the mega rich are pretending to let us have a say and then pretending to fight against the Republicans instead of solving problems.

This is the entire premise of No Man’s Sky.

Show up. Ask them to come when you do things. No matter what they are asking you to do you show up. Make room for them in your life too, every time you have room in your car let them know it would be great if they filled that seat. After enough time spent together you will have a much better grasp of what invitations mean something to them. You will also figure out when you actually want to be alone and when you would like to have company.

Sounds like you need Cloudflare. The free tier should be just fine.
