I'd still accept him as VP with fact 1. As someone who spent much time in NYC and now miss good Italian dishes and good pizza... Im second guessing based on fact 2

/s for those who missed it

This depends on the area of medical device. I work in medical device but totally different from this, mine get implanted into your body.

1. I doubt many people have the knowledge to to truly troubleshoot our devices beyond what the doctor is allowed to do. We need a bunch of expensive and specialized hardware to troubleshoot.

2. We are legally required to investigate and report any complaints(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/search.cfm) . If we don't get the complaint we can't investigate and report it.

3. If a certain number(honestly I don't know the specific number) of complaints occur we are legally required to create a corrective action to help the patients immediately (or as soon as possible) and a preventive action to ensure it doesn't effect other patients. If a person has an issue and "repaired" it themselves they don't get counted in this and as such could cause more patients to suffer.

While I agree with right to repair I think certain things should be exempt. That said then there should be a requirement of the manufacturer to ivestigate/repair the equipment.

A liqor store near me offers 5% off if you use cash or debit.

I went to dragon con one year, people were dressed in all sorts of costumes even though it's not a furry con. And I know the hotels where the con is are incredibly hard to book. That said just once I want some senior executive to accidently book a room in one because he has some meeting with a potential client of something and just so happen to click it at the right time.

He shows up and is completely bewildered by all the people in costumes. "you'll never believe it mark. I rode down the elevator with a robot and I swear to God... Tiny from Bob's burgers"

I do this alot but I alway follow up with "Do you know what blah is?" and depending on age/experience/acronym or term I ask them to explain it.

Sometimes I get assigned work with a senior engineer(where I learn) and sometimes I get asked to help a new person. For example right now I'm in a project being driven by a senior engineer but was asked to assist a professional development program employee(or pdp) to actually execute the project. As a result this is the habit I developed to 1. Make sure I don't confuse people with random acronyms or terms 2. Ensure we are on the same regarding definition(and they are not just saying yes I know when they don't).

I tend to recommend a 3 year cycle. Year 1 upgrade peripherals (speakers, monitors, maybe chair, keyboard, mouse etc) year 2. Upgrade video card and hard drives. year 3. Upgrade motherboard, ram and cpu. Year 4 repeat year 1

With this you can you can do 95% of the latest stuff with "good" stuff (think XX70 cards rather then 80 or 90 series) since you are never that outdated on any portion.

Great they removed them.... Did they report the images to the authorities?

Partially I agree with "official acts" being above the law. For example certain judges can order someone to be killed and not fave murder charges... If I order my neighbor to be killed, I get murder charges. That "official act" is above the law. We granted those judges that right. Cops can break speed limits when chasing criminals. Again that's an official act and should be above the law.

Now the concern comes from who declares an action "official".

A judge can't say Rob a bank and declare it an official act. A police officer can't distribute child porn and declare it an official act.

Actually I think that would then add a additional charge for registration fraud

I don't know about blue but here is all the math to turn a red light green.... Don't think of doing it though while you could probably get out of a ticket for running a red light I don't even know what the fine is for driving many thousand times the speed limit is.

Edit: just realized I forgot to post the actual link.... https://sciencenotes.org/fast-go-make-red-light-look-green-relativistic-doppler-effect/#:~:text=If%20we%20take%20the%20speed%20of%20light%20to,to%20convert%20to%20km%2Fhr%2C%20you%20get%20197%2C640%2C000%20km%2Fhr.

You're not that off with the brisket comment. On the really hot days here in Texas you can take a cookie sheet, buy a pack of break and bake cookie dough, put the dough on the cookie sheet, leave it on your dash board and go to work.

When you get out you have a dozen fresh soft baked cookies and your car smells amazing 😁

My bad, I read it wrong. I was thinking the 2.43 million was for the emergency buttons. I should have read more carefully. $250 each is still expensive but not obscene.
