That problem happened because there was no way to travel from town to town quickly so if the clocks were off nobody cared. The trains changed that.

Cows kills more people each year than sharks.

I mean when did you ever here of a cow killing a shark.

Consider a site like arstechnica. Just tech news, less depressing crap.

At what point can you tax deduct your phone as a business expense?

Shutting every complaint down with ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’ etc. is why far right parties are rising. It is time to stop acting like middle schoolers and allow people to voice concerns and have debate, lest they vote far right as the only alternative. Nobody wants that.

There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.

Unless you live in one of the handful of close states, your vote red or blue makes no difference to the electoral college. Why give either of these your symbolic popular vote.

No 3rd party will win, but a rising 3rd party is competition that may at least raise an issue’s prominence or worry the main parties enough to pull their finger out and run better candidates.

Active Directory, for joining an account in a network.

It is probably Home vs. Professional. Home has no AD either.

From USDA

“There are 30.1 million beef cows in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2022, down 2% from last year.Jan 31, 2022”

It was a factor of 2, not 3.

Note: the dairy industry is much worse.

It largely depends on the way the meat is produced.

You may have beef that is corn fed so you use all the energy of multiple times more corn production and transport to feed them vs. just eating the corn.

Or you may have ranched grass fed beef that eats grass in a field that required nothing other than a fence. No plowing, destroying soil with pesticides and running heavy machinery. A few hundred years ago there were 3 times more roaming bison than there are cows in the US today, so gas isn’t really an issue.

Best reason to go cut down on meat is for health reasons. And be careful of where your meat is sourced.

Correction: it is a factor of 2 not 3. See reply for source.

In personal experience there has been a big rise of Linux on the server and more people being forced to get used to it. Docker is pushing this along even more now. We are seeing the continued rise in osx and improvements in the Linux desktop. Moving away from windows is becoming more acceptable now, even in corporations. This will continue!
