I need some vodka to deal with this

Except Sacramento is the capital of California, Debbie gonna struggle

Focus follows mouse.

Takes some getting used to, but it’s really nice once you’re tracking it.

99% agree. We will find it as absurd as considering horse-drawn carriage as a contemporary mode of transport, and while legal overall, their use is prohibited on interstate highways, as will be manually-driven vehicles. And we might not even have to wait 50 years!

There are parallels to when autopilot first began to proliferate in aviation. I’d have to do some research to confirm, but I am certain there was at least a segment of people who would have said they trusted pilots to fly more than autopilot. Now it’s 99% autopilot. The pilots of scheduled air services typically hand control to autopilot fairly shortly after departure, and for quite a long time before arrival. In some cases there are even autopilot-coupled approach to landings… and nobody bats an eye.

We collectively spend millions of hours in traffic, and lose thousands of lives to preventable accidents (like drowsy/sleepy/influenced driving).

Aviation made the switch to save lives, and eventually drivers will, too.

When we look back, we’ll wonder how we were such savages about insisting we drive manually.

Even wilder than that will be some form of social compromise in fully-autonomous vehicles.

People won’t want to part with the flexibility of driving their own cars, and once things are standardized and safety records are proven, people will eventually find acceptance in automated vehicles.

I hypothesize that major thoroughfares/highways will be fully-automated and only surface streets will be self-driving. This is a sort of hybrid-solution which generally addresses a great deal of traffic issues.

An interesting game to play when driving around the US is “Prison, or School?”

The rules are simple. When driving past any complex with tall fences, quickly blurt out if it’s a prison or school. Then look for signage or check a map application to verify.

You’d be surprised how often you’ll get the answer wrong.

Network effect with a hint of extortion.

That’s my thought, that the power blip is basically too long, and why I suggest to OP to try a different UPS.

One need only to look at nations with exclusively state-controlled media is allowed.

Ideally you’d isolate the UPS as the problem, so it would be good if you could borrow one for a few days or so to check. It could be that the UPS isn’t the problem.

Consider reviewing the return policy of a company where you can get a pure sine wave inverter and if it fixes the problem you’re good, and you’ve already got your replacement. Else, there may be a configuration or hardware problem.

Well, might have to do some isolation tests if you can borrow a pure sine wave UPS and see if it makes a difference. Outside of that, the power blip might be too much for the power supply to handle or it trips up BIOS/mobo voltage sampling.

There are some devices which will protest under modified sine wave, and some which may even get damaged. I recently accepted the risk of using an msw inverter with some electronics and did not notice any issues, but I had read that the device would be fine with it.

Which application or software one uses is far less important than which note system to use. Mainly, the best note system is the one you actually use. Bear in mind, the system used depends on context.

Academically I rely heavily on Cornell Note Taking System, and recently I’ve dabbled with atomic style notes using Obsidian. There are plenty of trade offs on those two systems, but I found tremendous value in being able to back reference the same note over and over again.

For one-off reminders, I just message myself. Long term reminders end up either on my calendar, or more recently on Trello.

Keep experimenting. Keep what works, dump the rest; avoid being dogmatic to a note system, application, or software.

Ultimately, it’s what it’s.

Price of obsidian gonna skyrocket.

Cape CANNA VERR ALL = Cape Canaveral

Why? Because I can.

No. I would be incents.

I use the washer and then let it sit wet over night to bring out its natural paprika seasoning.

Was he a baddie?

Are we the baddies?
