Actually, my father in law just lost 3 months of work yesterday because he synced his documents folder that had an old copy of his book on OneDrive. None of the cached files had his new stuff. Maybe if OneDrive was made well, it would prevent data loss.

Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.

Top tier comment, artfully put.

Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:

  • those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
  • those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.

The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there's way too much of the second group. We're definitely getting what we pay for here.

Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.

Well that's a fairly consistent pov. "God of the Gaps" is what it's called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it's probably not one of the worst ways to think

Last week I bought a used car. I got a title. I moved to Missouri in January, and I'll be moving back out of Missouri in a month. I have insurance on it. I've been looking at the papers I still need online, and at reviews of the different office I need to go to. Apparently, I need info from the assessors office to show that I'm exempt from property tax on the vehicle or to pay it.

It's gonna be an hours drive to get to the office. They dont have accurate info online on hours open, they don't answer the phone, and the voicemail says that they hope to open again on April 4th. It's April 15th. I figure it's gonna be another drive to get to DMV offices, and reviews on both offices show that there's 2 hours waits, and extremely unpredictable closing times. So I'm looking at having to take at least a day off of work, maybe more.

I make like $300 on a good day. The max fines for late registration look like $200, and for the traffic violation it's $50.50, if I understand right from my Google search. If I were able to even get a hold of somebody at either office during business hours, I'd go ahead and register. Honestly though, I'm struggling to justify the opportunity cost. I could get caught and fined twice in a traffic stop before it would be worth doing it.

Am I missing something? Is it financially worth registering my car? What if I just register when I move, in the new state?

This is the nerdiest way to lift weights. I'm gonna be so obsessed with it, I can already tell.

This is like a CIA Pulitzer. Nintendo could not have made a better endorsement of Yuzu's performance.

I think this is part of the reason that Google sucks nowadays. I genuinely don't feel like I can trust it for finding products.
