My dad is good with computers and has a great online-bullshit radar. My mom and aunt are god awful though. My aunt fell for a 'virus scan' scam recently and the fallout was kind of rough to deal with. Full backup of photos & docs, new passwords, and a full factory reset of the computer. Not a fun weekend for her.

My rules for them: 1. If someone calls you from the bank, hang up and call them back from their phone number listed on their website. 2. If a pop-up comes up warning for viruses, call me immediately. 3. If a pop-up comes up warning about governments coming for you, call me immediately. 4. No one on Earth is going to try to give you money for free online.

I've had to answer plenty of calls about online bullshit, but I prefer that than having to try to deal with the Bank after they get scammed.

My book bags. I put a lot of though and time into finding the perfect setup. I have one that I use for daily commuting and hiking. I have another that I use as a shooting range bag and weekend/short trip bag. Both fit my needs perfectly and help to keep me organized without making me overthink what I'm doing with my stuff.

QA testing is a pretty low barrier to entry gig. It's not exactly exciting work but it'll pay 50k+ per year and is a full time job usually (so benefits). The job will vary depending on where you go though. Some places will just need people to click around an app, other places will require some scripting/basic programming skills. It's just about finding the right company

So the criteria for this to work is that a word needs to be all of the following;

1. A proper noun representing a place (Buffalo, NY) 2. A verb (to buffalo, to bully or harass) 3. A noun whose plural is the same as it's singular (a buffalo, many buffalo)

Badger almost works but it's plural is badgers.

Moose almost works but moose isn't a verb.

The orange is yellow. Great color pallet though, it's really easy on the eyes for the most part.

I'm not that into frontend dev, I mostly stick with backend and devops so for me, when I need to make a front end without a ton of bells and whistles, this kind of stuff saves my no-css-skills-on-my-resume butt!

Your suggestion that large companies ought to be "bound by law" implies regulations by the government. Whether or not that is your intention is still up in the air. However, if the government owns the regulation then they get to set the standards of what a big company is on a per criteria basis.

If the government is being attacked by a specific 'group', the government will then have the power to impose specific, targeted regulations on that group's web presence. Without the legislation, this is a matter of freedom of speech and is quickly resolved by the first amendment. It would be incredibly difficult to fight that off.

However, with legislation in place that affords the government the power to impose such regulations, they can quickly and most importantly (read terrifyingly) silence people on the web.

I'm using it at work for front end work, GraphQL services, and cron jobs.

It's a great set up with GraphQL specifically since Walmart just release Lacinia and Alumbra/Claro are coming into play as more mature libraries.

With the way that it's going at work lately, we're going to be using Clojure much more in the future!
