Also I moved into an area where there is less snow, but when we get it it almost always starts as rain.... Then snow... Which melts on the pavement.... And eventually the pavement hits zero and all that water turns to ice.

Now you have snow on ice, which is awful.

Where I grew up is exactly how you described it though. Generally fresh snow is fine if the road was previously plowed / treated with gravel or deicer / salt.

My mom would also suggest a heavy blanket, and maybe a candle / matches / lighter. But the candle could cause a fire if you aren't careful.

Yeah what a badly written article, with awful takeaways.

At best case 60 miles an hour... Your commute was more than 90 mins? Ugh. That's awful.

You weren't clear if that was round trip or not, so possibly more than 180 mins? How did you find time to sleep!?

I've had an Nvidia shield TV for like 6 years now. Very happy with it.

 

Would love to have the option to mark as read after voting.

Or maybe it's an option in the Lemmy account? Haven't found it though.

When I built my home server this is what I did with all VMs. Learned how to change the start up delay time in esxi and ensured everything came back online with no issues from a cold built.

Rip VMware.

This is really old.

Xbox music became Groove Music which was retired Dec 31st 2017.

Though I guess that was just the subscription offering?

Sounds like any licenses you held continue on which I guess is nice. Does that mean any Zune licenses you have are now Xbox / Groove?

My LG TV updated to show ads in the input selection menu. I was pissed for a few months until someone showed me you can disable them in the settings. Maybe you can disable them on yours?

I mean, without browsing levels.fyi or anything like that you can get 4 to 10 software engineers for 1 million (anything from 100k to 250k depending on location, experience, etc.).

Not all employees are engineers but that would imply 80 to 200 staff for the 20 million they state.

That's only the component paid to the actual staff though. There are additional costs like Healthcare, unemployment, social security, etc, and other benefits that may not be included in wages (though some portion may be deducted from salaries), but they are including in that statement / summary.
