I haven't had in optical drive in my computer in probably almost 10 years.

Ski goggles are designed to not fog up. They are after all intended to be used at speed and in the cold. Mine are vented so I can feel a little bit of wind while using them.

I use ski goggles currently for my winter rides, but I've been considering a helmet with facemask to integrate everything. But maybe it would be too bulky. There's a lot of bulk with a balaclava, headband, hood (for wind blocking) and helmet already.

Maybe a helmet with a facemask?

Love a song that tells a story.

Hrm, so the driver's face should be projected onto the back and sides of the vehicle. This would allow other drivers to see which direction the driver is looking and if facial expressions were shown the alertness or distractedness of the driver would also be evident. Would probably help a lot when you're trying to figure out what another car is likely to do.

Ah geez, I never realized that this was a meta joke. I never really understood this one and would just gloss over it.

I was thinking about this the other day and came up with a theory. When you first learn to drive you are worried because you are driving a large vehicle that can really hurt or kill people if you make a mistake. There's an element of fear when you get behind the wheel for the first time, and learning the rules of the road help mitigate that fear.

As you gain experience with driving, that fear becomes masked by driving becoming a more or less muscle memory task, but doesn't go away. It's always just below the surface. Then when you witness someone who breaks the rules of the road (yourself excludes because you're a good driver now) the fear can't come out (again because you're a good driver) but gets transferred to rage very quickly.

I thought this when riding my bike in an area where cars aren't allowed, which thankfully is a large part of my commute. People along that stretch are polite with each other and smile when going by each other. That doesn't happen in a car and I think the riding of bikes doesn't have that same basis in fear that allows this to happen. It's only when cars get involved that bike commuting becomes extremely stressful.

Ah so your issue is, let me see here... Ah, actually using Outlook like a normal user.

I've tried switching to Thunderbird myself but it doesn't support Office 365 without a third party service. So I feel stuck with Outlook.

Is that dream too big?

 
 

Its been a pretty fun start to the season. Just really don't want the streak to end to the Leafs, but I'm kinda expecting it.

 

'Today is the day we have all been waiting for,' says city director.

 

Just wondering what happened. Electrical substation sabotage?

 

On Thursday, the Alberta Dental Service Corporation (ADSC) said it had been hacked between May 7 and July 9. On the final day, the hackers communicated they had encrypted the data, were holding it ransom and demanded cryptocurrency in payment.

Lyle Best, the ADSC president, said the organization’s cyberinsurance was immediately engaged and the ransom was paid, recovering the data with a minimal loss of that data. Best also noted the corporation had secure backups.

Oh for fucks sake! You don't pay the ransom if you have backups! You're just enabling the hackers to make more attacks!
