    Nightmarish, Mark. I've been worried about something like that happening. An irrational fear on my part--like a UPS worker or someone else who's just been living on some other planet for the past month or so. I'm very glad for you that things didn't get worse.

    This also seems to happen (good!) for me now. Maybe because I sometimes jump between the desktop and my iPhone it wouldn’t always work, maybe the “memory of where I left off” is local do the device used?

    The Murdoch organization has done much worse in the past and got away with it, or at least survived to tell the tale. They closed a newspaper in the UK as an act of contrition, but it really meant nothing.

    @Klaus said in Coder looking for a new job:

    While performing some security audits and fixes on our forum by running a few scripts, I ran across these outputs at the console. Look at the last line.

    Klaus, you noticed that too?? I thought that was funny when I came across it!!!!

    @LuFins-Dad said in Time to fire up the grill:

    How do we insert photos? Do I have to go back to hosting on a site and linking?

    To save space on the server, yes.

    It's possible to put pics here directly, but they will start taking up space and we'll have to upgrade to a larger server, if I understand correctly.

    Remember the "good" old days when you couldn't hotlink a picture.

    Good times.

    Don’t worry about this too much. If space becomes an issue I can presumably just delete images but keep the posts.

    @jon-nyc said in You want unconventional response?:

    I think there’s much we could do in the direction of his medical response. If not actually go as far as he says.

    It might just be that China does something akin to what he’s suggesting for vaccine testing and will be rolling out a global solution while the FDA are still filling out all their forms.

    I've said this before, but the FDA is laboring under antiquated laws mandating near-perfection. Yep, we change things and we may get another thalidomide debacle, but I'll trade those problems for some nimbleness and common sense.

    They'd have to be COVID-19 free. I'm not sure I want a coked-up operator at a nuclear plant.

    Definitely. The carriers would be a hell of a lot easier to get around on a two lane road than those box trucks.

    The problem is that the USPS carries a lot of packages. May need a separate carrier for those.
