A cropped picture of a bill. The top says "payment detail" and has two payments listed. The message below it says "we have not received a payment"

Why 'quiet quit' when you can 'quiet vacation'? Millennials are taking time off without telling their bosses. Gen Z has a different tactic. (www.businessinsider.com)

This headline should be screamed at and they buried the lede.

The Harris Poll also found that 78% of American workers reported not using all their PTO days, with nearly as many saying they wish they were able to take all of their available days off.

You're awesome Millennials, keep being that way.

In case the scale is unclear, it's about half the size of a normal one. Also the new Wcdonald's sauce is vile

Saw a number of free books on Apple Books and was wondering if I could get them on my Kindle. Every single one I tried was DRM-free other than 1984.

Bought this kingston xs2000 a while ago. It's officially rated for "up to" 2000Mb\s read\write but slows to a crawl after 30GB have been copied. Fyi, I'm copying files from an internal nvme (samsung 980 pro) via a usb 3.0 cable, so this kingston ssd is the only bottleneck.

Transcript

Part of a 9/11 memorial: marble trapezoidal prism block in the corner of a paved area in a park. Silver writing in modern font reminiscent of Nokia Standard Multiscript, used in Symbian mobile OS UI:

"Lets Roll"

On September 11, 2001 United Flight 93 took off from Newark International Airport in New Jersey with 38 passengers and a crew of 7. While in flight, the plane was hijacked by terrorists. Passengers on board knew about the other hijacked planes and took action. "Lets Roll" was their call to action. The passengers over powered the terrorists and the plane crashed in Shanksvillle, Pennsylvania killing all on board. It was believed that the plane was headed towards another target location in Washington D.C.

The penultimate line is in noticeably smaller font to accommodate its length, and so is the centered title for some reason. Most of the text is left-justified but the last three lines are centered, fit and right-aligned, respectively. The quote marks are not rounded, and there are at least three grammar mistakes in the short text.
