I actually never use the laptop's display; it goes to a monitor via HDMI that I switch between sources. It could cut output to the HDMI port and I'd be equally happy

I have a mac m3 I'm forced to use for work. It is managed by my organization (I'm not sure exactly what that entails).

There is no screensaver that just turns my screen black. I don't want animation, I don't want color, I just want the screen to be blank.

Speaking of, I kept hearing my fan spin up and was wondering why. Flurry screensaver was just taking up like 2.5 CPUs and a couple gigs of ram. No clue why. It was actually supposed to be the photos screensaver, but I'm assuming it was angry that the photos screensaver was pointed at a folder with no photos (nor anything else). This was when the PC was running and in use so the screensaver should not even have been running.

Sometimes, when logging in, the password will just not work. If I click off my user and click on admin or another, it will then work fine. Multiple occurrences, not sure of cause.

Replicate the replicator. Next day, use both to replicate replicators. Repeat ad nauseam.

I was looking to get a mechanical keyboard. 8bitdo seemed to be recommended by some folks, but they don't have the full-sized one with the 10-key here in Japan. Looks like I'm waiting.

The only have a LinkedIn for anything mainstream and it's been that way for years now. No one has broken down our door so far.

And if you feel behind, realize that some of us get debuffs, some several, that take time to overcome.

Not very orbital, then, is it. Jokes aside, rocketry is hard and I hope they gained the data to make it work next time.

What legally constitutes an illegal order? I wonder if this would qualify. Certainly, I should hope it does.

Star or similar voting, proportional representation, abolish the Senate, expand the house, abolish the electoral college, etc. are things I'd like personally. Not sure if I'd prefer parliamentary system over the presidential one.

People can and do travel in and out of Russia so be careful what you wish for; anything spreading widely and easily isn't going to stay in one place for long in our global society.

Having known a lot of people working in kitchens here and having seen some kitchens here, I really wish Japan would step up random inspections and enforcement. The owner (at least, maybe others as well) are required to be re-certified yearly with courses (also available online since corona at least), but I've not seen much of anything to enforce the conditions on the ground after the test unless there are customer complaints. Rats and roaches are far from unique to Sukiya, especially in places like Tokyo.

In years of participating in groups for foreigners in Japan, the question comes up once or twice a year from expecting parents as to how to get their kid circumcised. In Japan, it's only done when medically necessary, normally, and most guys are not. The vast majority of respondents, myself included, always try to convince them not to do it.
