Yeah, it would be nice if those were still made.

I feel like a pretty good vehicle for a lot of people like that who need a truck sometimes and don’t want a second vehicle could be one of the new small diesel trucks, like the ram ecodiesel. 30mpg is more than even most compact SUVs get, it’s still a truck for people that like that, and it can haul/tow more than a compact suv as well.

A big problem with 2 vehicles instead of 1 is often that insurance costs so much more, even if you’re driving the same number of miles as when you had 1 vehicle. Registration fees too.

one of our partners we have to integrate with at work sends us reports in ms access format. it’s not fun, especially when everything is running in lambda and there doesn’t seem to be any good libraries for reading ms access files that would easily run in lambda.

I like yubikeys since it means I don’t have to pull out my phone. totp on the laptop also works well enough.

sms based 2fa is the worst. it seems like to me every ceo and other non-technical c-level person I’ve known personally loves sms based 2fa though because they can’t figure anything else out.

I had eye twitching, went to an eye doctor and I had some mild astigmatism that my eyes were trying to compensate for and getting exhausted, especially when staring at computer screens, they don’t twitch now with glasses.

good to know. yeah, it didn’t seem like the kind of thing for texas to do on its own.

at least where I am in texas, they tell you what it will cost before you go. When I was in utah, I asked them beforehand what it would cost and they said it would be impossible to know until after the procedure was done. The front desk person said even they weren’t even allowed to know the prices beforehand.
