Altered Carbon is great.

It is sufficiently different to piss you off at first, but it’s a really good read.

I read it every couple of years. Such a good read.

take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure the Department of Education and return education authority to the States, while continuing to ensure the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.

How can both happen at the same time?

I’ve gotten VA newsletters where he has had to say rumors aren’t true and nothing is going to impact benefits, and they are completely unconvincing.

No idea, I just quoted the article since I hate those clickbait headlines.

The latest, deluxe end point of these time and attendance tchotchkes and apps is something like Austin-headquartered HID’s OmniKey platform. Designed for factories, hospitals, universities and offices, this is essentially an all-encompassing RFID log-in and security system for employees, via smart cards, smartphone wallets, and wearables.

I don’t think most Americans are, but there are certainly enough to make an industry around it…

The thing is, though, if you slip and fall (or whatever else) on the property of a big corporation or at least one insured by a big corporation, and you hire a good enough lawyer, you can sue for way more money than you could earn in your lifetime. Granted, those kinds of successes are the exception and not the rule, but it happens often enough to keep people trying in hopes that they won’t ever have to work again.

That’s clearly not as easy to clean as a spork.

I glanced at the photo at the top of the article and for a second I thought the agents were holding each other’s fingers… cute!

That, or Trump will intervene.

Pump Up the Jam

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

I wonder if it’s a double.

I thought you were probably right about the photo, then I saw it.

That’s quite irresponsible, Newsweek.

Yeah, for me it’s been smooth. I have had coverage problems and C/S problems, but they’ve been minor compared to the others I’ve tried.

I’ve had many carriers going back all the way to PrimeCo… I’ve been with AT&T for a few years because they seem to be the least shitty (in terms of coverage and customer service) of all the carriers I’ve tried.

Don’t forget cake!

I really like Tony’s dark almond sea salt right now. It’s only 51% but the salt really draws out the bitter flavors you would normally only get out of darker chocolates.
