    "There is a problem with your work or school account."

    No, laptop, that is not what is happening. There's no Internet connection, so you cannot call home.

    That should be "last", not "ladt".

    The ladt couple of days, #T-Mobile home Internet has been mostly unusable. But last night around 23:00, it suddenly went from 0.0 kbps to 49.0 Mbps. I guess I need to change my sleep schedule until I can replace the ISP.

    (Their home Internet service is priority 9, so anytime there is network congestion, those customers' packets get delayed or dropped.)

    @clacke Nope. When I was in my early twenties, I wanted to work in DE or UK for a few years, but there was never any money to pay for going. Now? I'd love to visit for a couple of weeks, but I have zero desire to live there.

    Plus, they've got some racism issues that sound like visiting Mississippi. I can visit MS without going through customs.

    Someone was talking about a pyramid scheme that tried to recruit them. This one was pure Ponzi, without even the pretense of a money maker ... just recruit more, get paid more.

    Apparently, she thought her #Uber driver was taking her to #MX instead of taking her to the desired destination (a casino), so she shot him in the back of the head.

    I am surprised that he took his sons hiking in those temperatures. 119⁰F / 48⁰C is so hot that the smart thing would be to find a pool with cooler water and keep your body temperature regulated that way. If there was humidity, that's even worse.

    @clacke A few years back, a couple of my nephews were explaining "tinder" and "grindr" to me.

    I said they seemed like the perfect places for serial killers to hunt for victims. They, of course, laughed at this.

    Reports say that Prigozhin accepted a deal brokered by Lukashenko, and that PMC #Wagner mercenaries are heading back to their camps.

      Russia Slides Into Civil War

      Is Putin facing his Czar Nicholas II moment?

    There’s been a mystery bush growing in one of the planters in the backyard. Today, I figured out that it is probably Punica granatum, based on the flowers 🌸. It is too small to grow edible pomegranates, but it is nice to know.

    Okay, now I've seen unconfirmed reports that PMC Wagner peacefully took control of regional military headquarters in Rostov-na-Donu and military facilities in Voronezh. They're still 500km/300mi away from Moscow, and there's no assurance that the leaders of the Ministry of Defense would be there anyway.

    I just think that to be seen as crossing Putin means Prigozhin's lifespan just shortened considerably, unless this is a maneuver meant to trick Ukraine into over-committing in a battle somewhere.

    I see multiple people talking about civil war in #Russia. From what I can see, the head of #Wagner, a notorious braggart and complainer said some things he should not have said, but I have seen nothing to suggest actual fratricidal fighting.

    Game shows on the TV. I used to watch a few such shows in the #1970s, but I don't think I've watched a lot since then.

    The man formerly known as #lazyNephew is working hard on an online course, hoping to get a better job and take better care of his family. I hope he completes it and goes on to complete the related industry certification.

    Back when I was doing my Master's Degree, we had these group projects. They were definitely not garbage, but the pressure was tough. I used to write most of the project, then send each team member their part to polish and customize.

    We had one project that involved writing a Java application that met certain criteria. Only one of us had professional Java experience, and the rest of us banged our heads on this for the whole week. On the last day, Java pro showed up, submitted the completed project. The instructor could see that he was MIA until 45 minutes before the deadline, so we all got good grades, but Java pro failed the project.

    He complained, but a group project means one should work together with the group, so the grade stood.
