  • Sounds like you’re getting better numbers than we do :) Wonder if there’s some incompatibility in our fleet hardware that you don’t have. We’re mostly Dell XPS. The biggest problem we regularly have is the audio output and mic inputs going rogue. They’ll be using the machine with sound all day, no problem, go into a meeting and there’s no sound. They’ll have the same problem with microphones. Somehow the browser session behind the scenes doesn’t pick up the current default device settings and the volume for the Slack session ends up being muted.


  • I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn’t have any. I was all “FINE!, I’ll make my own” and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.

    One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn’t care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I’ve been trying to replicate that for a while.






  • We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.

    We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.

    Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.

    Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.

    Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.

    Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.

    It’s all the Dunning-Kruger effect. We are cursed to continually fail on the side of you don’t know what you don’t know.

    I had this idea in my teens that we really needed a common sense brigade. Small groups of people jury style that would just go from place to place and say hey that’s stupid Don’t do that. Because I could see right from wrong I assumed that we just needed a bunch of people that could also see right from wrong to go around and lead the idiots to reasonable decisions. It was very easy for my 15-year-old mine to see black and white everywhere. It’s all good versus evil and smart versus stupid.

    Many decades later, I know grasp that most of the world’s problems are because people tries to fit everything into black and white.





  • There’s not enough information supplied.

    Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It’s an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.

    It’s much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

    Mother of 4

    Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled

    Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor

    Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside

    She took 1/4 to the doctor

    Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend’s grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn’t there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.

    Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.

    Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.

    wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others

    The deputy said it wasn’t safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.

    30 MPH road

    Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn’t have been doing.

    Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling

    Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy’s Wheaties,

    Maybe it’s not the first time?

    Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.

    Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.
