The roar of heavy machinery whirring away for 9+ hours a day, pulsing at thousands of RPM, the calm of solving puzzles in the chaos... it's peaceful.
The news folks always ask me how I keep my sanity in all the noise and chaos, and it always makes me laugh. It takes a special kind of crazy to do my job for as long as I have and it shows.
Every day loading and unloading trucks with 60 other forklifts all blasting around on a dock with only 130 doors while going 8mph. It rains, you get wet. It snows, you plow through it. It's 100F outside, it's 110F on the dock and 120F in the trailers. The sun rises, you get to watch it rise over the snowy mountains. The sun sets, you get to watch it over the water.
It's not for everyone, but damn can it be right for the right kinda of people.
Beans, rice, lentils, oat meal, almonds, some frozen mixed veggies, and some soy nuggets; that's basically all I eat anymore due to the rising costs of food. And portion control as well because hot damn are costs flying up.
It's dirt cheap and filling as hell, but damn do I miss going out to eat every weekend with the guys. We only go out once a month now and this last meet up we brought up not going out to eat but doing potlucks instead (which I'm down for for sure).
The hell even is that? Asymptomatic means no symptoms. Long-COVID isn't a contagious thing, it's literally a description of the symptoms you have from having COVID and the long term effects.
I support the elimination of copyright in it's current form
The way it was initially was fine IMO: 14 years, with an option to renew it at the end of those 14 years. ONCE.
Now in terms of patenting medications, if it was partially paid for with public money it's the public's patent. In other words it's open for everyone. Made a new medication but took a government grant to help fund it? It's public when it comes out, enjoy a nice hearty reward check for your efforts.
My main gaming rig is my last system not running Linux right now, I've been migrating my stuff over on my other systems for a couple months now (I keep getting distracted lol)
But not that I've got alts for the software I normally use on my main rig it's finally time, 2 months ahead of schedule.
They only did the right thing after getting caught openly doing the wrong thing, so I'd say I'd still be pissed.
They should have never put the system in place with such a simple vulnerability (which to me) says they take such a laxodasical approach to security that I wouldn't trust them even now.
