This is correct. The only thing that is regulated is the disposal (at least in WA) - otherwise home owners are legally allowed to remove it themselves as they see fit. Not that I recommend it if you don’t know what you’re doing, but you won’t get a fine.

Source: am homeowner who (with saftey precautions such as a tent of 3 mil plastic, negative airflow, HEPA shopvac, soap and water, and a proper respirator) removed asbestos tape from my duct work.

Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.

Really happy this is the focus of our highest chambers of government and not passing actual regulations for all social media companies, or you know, giving citizens healthcare.

I’ve got bad news for you, the CCP is happy to use American social media to manipulate the populous, it doesn’t matter if it’s US owned or not.

Do you think that wealthy citizens can’t be bought off by hostile foreign governments? Neither is better - we need actual regulation rather than worrying about a single company.

You’re gunna turn into dust by the time the government regulates Meta. The only reason they care about TikTok so much is optics and the fact that a foreign company is abusing the system in the same way as the domestic social media companies. The fix isn’t to divest ByteDance, the fix is to pass actual regulation with teeth that applies to domestic and foreign companies alike.

Funeral potatoes are the one food I miss from Utah. The ultimate comfort food.

The researchers concluded that overall, while the man’s excessive vaccination history increased his antibody levels and apparently protected him from infection, hyper-activating his immune system did not seem to have a negative effect on his ability to mount an adequate response. At the same time, his extreme measures did not seem to afford him a level of super-immunity that distinguished his response dramatically from others who followed the recommended vaccination schedule. “His immune system was neither positively nor negatively affected," says Schober.

I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.

To be clear, he’ll still be in the senate, but at least he’ll have less power.

Either full $454 million or get lost.

That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.

That’s likely because your Macs are using the TPM. Does your Linux machine have a TPM, and are you using it?

If you’re having it automatically unlock the drive at boot, it kind of defeats the purpose. If someone steals your tower, they can boot it and copy the unencrypted contents since it automatically unlocks.

I’ve taken this for years and had no idea about these side effects until recently. I’ve now started to taper as I’m almost positive it effects my mood, and seems to do little for my asthma.

Nice of them to attempt to point blame at AWS, I’m sure AWS appreciates that.

I bet they could cut costs even more by canning the CEO

I lived in Utah for a bit, and the half-year long inversions were horrible. It stinks so bad, and literally hurts to breathe. The only escape is to go into the mountains to get above it, where you can look back at the shelf of pollution with a renewed hatred of the Utahn government.
