Working with Stripe sounds like a liability

If I get the vaporized rat piss disease I’ll strangle RFK Jr myself

I just checked. My LG washer and LG dryer both transmit ~30KB a day whether we use them or not. I do like being notified when they finish since they’re in the basement and my work desk is upstairs. I wouldn’t know otherwise.

Do what you want with beep, I will continue blocking them. They had more than their fair share of chances to be a part of the community but they chose to be contrarian about it. Somebody with the power to hold them accountable finally reaches out and now they’ll play by the rules? Beep you squandered all my good will, good luck somewhere else. I’m blocking all your alts too.

How you describe your enemies says so much about what you fight for. Making your enemies look weak does not always make you look strong.

Especially if nobody believes you.

My parents were 911 dispatchers for decades. It’s how they met. They had 7 monitors last time I visited them at work 20 years ago. Their applications seemed to be built on the idea they had multiple monitors worth of space that they’d be stretched across.

If I remember accurately, there were 2 computers (and thus 2 mice and 2 keyboards). The first computer had 5 monitors and was the Google Maps equivalent for where all the active ambulances in the city were. The main application stretched across multiple monitors and had sub-windows with different operations in them. I think it also managed the radio between dispatcher and ambulance. The second computer was dedicated to the phone, the caller, any history attached to the phone number, and all the data 911 gets about your location. It took up the remaining few monitors. By now it’s probably 1 computer and even more monitors.
