The skip intro/credits feature is nifty, and sonic analysis if you run a music library is worth the purchase price alone.

I enjoy self hosting, but what tipped the scales for me in favor of using Bitwarden’s servers is that I’m 100% confident I’m not as good as hardening my system from being compromised as they are. The vault is going to be encrypted anyway, and I think there’s a lower chance of it falling into the wrong hands if it’s hosted with Bitwarden. Same reason I don’t self-host email.

Plus Bitwarden is a cool company and the product is open source, and the premium features are unreasonably low priced.

Question for the class: aside from the obvious like computers and technology, what category items are we expecting to be hit hardest? Or to ask pointedly, what items that we NEED might be affected?

I’m with you that you shouldn’t have to, but putting your media directory one level up in a randomly generated directory name isn’t too bad. ~/[random uuid]/media/… may not be a terrible idea in any case.

They make a short cameo in Back to the Future II.

History is written by the teenagers? Hardly.

Your metric of “does anybody care?” being what teenagers know is really not relevant. Teenagers know jack all about anything.

If not for portraits on money, would we all easily remember what Washington, Lincoln, et. al. looked like?

I’m sure part or maybe most of the reason the titans of industry ‘s portraits don’t live in most of our memories is because there were much fewer photographs of them taken. I’m sure I have an order of magnitude more photographs of my child on my phone, then existed any photographs of Rockefeller.

We remember Rockefeller and Carnegie because of the public works they funded. If Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg want to be remembered, build some libraries.

He does. That’s why it’s fun to point out that it’s wrong.

And by city. Ya, there are some cities where it’s over 10. I’m just saying that’s not nearly the average.

Not disputing most of you point, but the sales tax in California does not average 10%. I live here, and don’t think I’ve ever paid more that 9. Most of the time, it’s lower than 8.

Sorta like how the Ford Mustang isn’t named for the horse, it’s named for the P-51 Mustang airplane (which in turn is named for the horse.)

Extremely reasonable concerns, I agree. I wish Biden would have passed the baton early on like he said he was going to. I honestly think that cost the Democrats the election.

But given the choice between a declining Biden surrounded by competent people or Trump surrounded by sycophants, I would choose the former.

See above reply. I should not have, mistakenly, implied democrats earnestly concerned about Bidens age are silent now. My point was to illustrate Republican hypocrisy.

I perhaps should have clarified that I meant Republicans who said they opposed Biden because of his age, who are suddenly okay with someone in his 80s running.

I certainly did not mean Democrats earnestly voicing concern of Bidens age.

Not surprisingly, the constitutionalists and “Biden is too old” crowd Republicans are silent.

I guess my confusion comes from why you are so adamantly against specifically providing the social security card, when providing proof of employment eligibility is a legal requirement. Clearly, you have no problem providing employment eligibility, why do you have such strong feelings about providing the social security card specifically?

And while agree, the fact that other documents can be provided to prove employment eligibility means that technically providing the SS card isn’t required, I’d caution you against saying “never” in our current political environment.

We’re splitting hairs here. It is a legal requirement to provide work elibility. If you provide a passport, or if you provide an ID and birth certificate, that sufficies. But many people choose ID and social security card. And yes, employers keep copies of work eligibility on file.

So I guess my question is, is your objection really to the act of asking for a lightweight cardboard card?
