Common sense seems to be not so common.

I can confirm this, one of the "toys" I had was a 4WD car/buggy(?), I don't remember the name/manf but it had a real differential in it (ring, pinion/etc) and it was the parts I used for the dragster drive diff. Me being me, I had to make it quicker and faster so I dropped the drive prop shaft from the rear to the front and added a second motor to the front. It caused other issues but I didn't have the issue I had with the front/rear propshaft, usually falling out at some point due to the 'skipping rope' effect.

A long and interesting read on how much effort some things take to correct.

  All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.

They might already be doing something like that. Tuesday morning I had to do a fresh install of 10.
Grabbed the media creator, installed and had one round of updates then it said all done. Started at 5 AM and was done (with the base OS) by 6-ish AM.

I have gone on to install other software and I have had updates since but they are for other things, new hardware/etc.

This was a first and I was surprised the USB image was that close to current.

From my sampling while on holiday, I would say none. All I have met use the country not the kingdom.

The other problem with anti-perspirants is they always make the pits of my shirts stained whiteish that wouldn't come out in the wash.

For many years/decades(?) I used an anti-perspirant but a few years ago I had a similar thing happen and switched to a deodorant. It took a few tries to find one that didn't irritate and wound up using the "tree cutter" deodorant. Surprisingly, I actually sweat less and have no irritation and somehow I don't smell like a teenager.

April jobs report surprise: Is this a labor shortage or a great reassessment of work in America The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/05/07/jobs-report-labor-shortage-analysis/

snip

>A Pew Research Center survey this year found that 66 percent of the unemployed had “seriously considered” changing their field of work, a far greater percentage than during the Great Recession. People who used to work in restaurants or travel are finding higher-paying jobs in warehouses or real estate, for example. Or they want a job that is more stable and less likely to be exposed to the coronavirus — or any other deadly virus down the road. Consider that grocery stores shed over 49,000 workers in April and nursing care facilities lost nearly 20,000.

  Analysis | It’s not a ‘labor shortage.’ It’s a great reassessment of work in America.
  
  from Washington Post
  
  Hiring was much weaker than expected in April. Wall Street thinks it’s a blip, but there could be much deeper rethinking going on of what jobs are needed and what workers want to do on a daily basis.

Troubleshooting Varnish Cache 503 Guru Meditation Error Section
https://www.section.io/blog/varnish-cache-503-error-guru-meditation/

>If you use Varnish Cache on your website or are visiting a website that caches content with Varnish Cache, chances are at some point you will come across the Varnish Cache server error: Error 503 Service Unavailable / Guru Meditation with an XID number. A 503 error means that the web server trying to be reached is unavailable - this could be because it is overloaded, down for maintenence, or not fully functional for another reason.
>
>When you see this error in relation to Varnish Cache, it means that the website is using Varnish Cache to cache and serve content, and that Varnish Cache is unable to reach the back end server. Varnish Cache issues the Guru Meditation error when a connection has timed out or the Varnish Cache server has made too many requests to the back end server without getting a response. Instead of making an infinite number of requests to an unhealthy back end, Varnish Cache issues the 503 error to let the visitor (and website owner) it is likely the website manager is already working on a fix and your best bet is to try again later. If you are the website manager or owner and aren’t sure why you are getting this response, read below to find out.
