I had to request more RAM at work because I can’t have more than 2 Microsoft apps open at once and stay under 90% memory usage now that Copilot is in everything. Feels cheaper all around to remove bloat.

Just because I’m immunosuppressed doesn’t mean I don’t deserve to be able to safely eat lettuce… (preaching to the choir I know)

If needle nosed pliers don’t work, heat up the end of a hot glue stick so it’s melty but not liquid, press it agains the lock, and then slowly pull out (ha). Even if it only gets the broken key out a tiny bit that’s often enough for the pliers to be useful!

The one time I changed one of those I took the sticker off and proceeded to dump water all over the floor trying to get it on its pedestal... Could have been coincidence, but I stay away from water coolers now.

Did they try to upsell you hard on the executive membership? I legitimately almost walked out - just let me buy the membership I want! I don’t care if you think I’m “making a grave error I will regret every waking moment of my day,“ just sell me the cheap membership!

The graph is showing the total fertility rate (TFR), which is essentially the average number of children per woman. Since it’s a rate (rather than an absolute number of births in a population), the cohort size doesn’t matter for interpreting it since it’s on a “per person” basis. That help?

I know the financial position and career longevity of most pro woman T&F/athletics athletes is not secure enough that they could survive a boycott or work stoppage, but I'd love to see it.

I think about that 2016 story at least once a month. It's why I started donating to ProPublica (and your other work is why I've continued). Thanks for this update.
