Well, it was twenty years ago, so my memory might not be fresh, but we would go out to lunch, then head back to the office, so there was some elapsed time in between.

I don’t know, but I’d like to think I would shut everything off and run away until it demonstrably hadn’t exploded rather than take a picture!

I visited Costa Rica on a business trip around twenty years ago. The thing that blew my mind was every person in the building, after we got back from lunch, trooping to the bathroom and brushing their teeth. That’s public health done right.

They look like a gas furnace and a hot water tank. My first thought was "Why are they connected? ", because I thought the tank had its own heating element. My second thought was “Aren’t those water lines? How does a water line become incandescent?”

This is correct. Hay can be used as fodder for animals, whereas straw cannot. It can be used for many other purposes, however, like animal bedding, building material, decorating your suburban yard in fall…

It is basically a gyro.

No, it wants to be roasted and covered in cheese sauce.

Makes perfect sense to me. It’s generally acknowledged that

Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin’ world go round

Yes, the captions are horrible.

Wrong, the date is 2024-06-12.

Authentication methods in Entra ID (which is presumably what we are talking about as the identity provider) include Microsoft Authenticator and software otp.

Authenticator is push authentication, as described elsewhere here. If for some reason you’re not getting push notifications, you can use an OTP code instead, but this still requires that you have push authentication configured in Microsoft Authenticator.

You can only use Software OTP in other applications if your administrator has explicitly allowed use of Software OTP as an authentication method, and also excluded you from being required to use Authenticatior - otherwise Authenticatior would always ‘win’ as choice of mechanisms because it is more secure.

Several states in the USA require that employees who are made to use their personal phone for business purposes be compensated. The enforcement method and process for requesting same is naturally very obscure.

With a large form factor phone in my pocket, I have access to millions of books right away. When I’m not reading an ebook I’m probably listening to the audio version instead, because I need my hands and/or eyes for something else.

Revisiting Eric Flint’s 1632 series. I read the first several books and anthologies some years ago, and enjoyed them, but lost track of the series. I’m a bit daunted to see they got up to nearly forty published books, but we’ll see how it goes!

I had to look up Blinding Lights, and I don’t recognize it. I know the others from that list (whether they fit the criteria or not).

They wrote “you” at least once, so they appear to know the correct spelling.

Aren’t the tires not supposed to extend outside of the wheel arches?

I once went to Costa Rica on a business trip, and every one of my colleagues there would head to the bathroom after lunch and brush their teeth. That’s what you get when you teach dental hygiene.

I’ve never seen the meme before, my bad. I thought it was supposed to be cookie monster munching, not Elmo snorting!

Why is Elmo standing in for Cookie Monster?
