Privacy is so overrated.
(3R's was a campaign manufactured by the plastics industry to shift environmental blame onto individuals rather than what industry could've done, such as: waste stream capture, lifecycle management, material minimization, minimum recycled content, and so on.)
My paternal grandmother was from Cape Cod; lived in Britain, Germany, and the Philippines; and ended-up in San Jose, CA with a New Englander-British (no pun intended) accent. My dad had somewhat of a latent British accent from eating gristle and corporal punishment at an all-boys English boarding school.
Two Norwegian brothers: one was my roommate, had lived in the US for 10 years, and always spoke English like he was drunk and still working on the language; the other had never been to the States before but sounded like he lived in the US for 90% of his life. I'm wondering if it's language speaking/interpretation plasticity skill are more innate to the individual. (I'm probably more like the first brother and sound like a rube in every language.)
And now Texas is about to try to criminalize homelessness yet again, which I thought was settled in the 9th Circuit multiple times. Maybe it's the old "let's see what horribly-insensitive laws we can pass to rile up that other side but will probably be struck-down by the courts."

Desertrain v. City of Los Angeles
Even if either one or both were also a principle engineer for Intel, that'd still be a spurious, appeal-to-authority because they weren't a modern enterprise sysadmin, IT manager, or equivalent with visibility into what works and what doesn't in the real-world at scale.
Lionization in one or two domains for a limited time doesn't breed domain expertise across other areas for longer times. For anyone to be called, or call themselves, a polymath within the past 100 years is absolutely absurd. There are too many bifurcating domains splitting and branching too quickly for anyone of integrity to claim to "master" and stay in mastery of them.
I don't really care who they are: if they don't have sufficiently-current experience with enterprise-class gear, then random people have absolutely no place making claims about UPSes with supposed endorsements from dead dudes.
As a home-gamer, this one works for me. :'D
Sure, you can get smaller enterprise laser printers of many brands for cheap, but the smaller you go, the less repairable they are and the more expensive they are to operate.
Some of the cartridges I use go to multiple tens of thousands of pages. I never have had a paper jam on anything other than a printer with bad grabber rollers or cheap desktop models. Some of my printers have auto-stapling and collating. Basically, I never need a FedEx Office store unless I'm out-of-the-area.
One ENT told me I had "allergies" when I said I could hear my left eye move in my head and he pretended he didn't find an Weber test extreme left lateralization. Another two ENTs found I have repairable SCDS as confirmed by high resolution CT and audiological testing.
Doctors who don't listen to you or BS you cannot be trusted with your life. Dump them and don't feel bad about it because they gave up on you first. There is no reward for loyalty. It's only your life.
Most people have back problems, so that could just be concomitant.
I used to live in an area with endemic Lyme disease, but contracting that would've presented all kind of other horrible symptoms.
I also have SCDS, likely from pushing too forcefully on the loo, loud noises, air pressure extreme changes, high blood pressure/swings, and congenital thinness as confirmed on CT. The fix require a middle fossa craniotomy approach.
I chipped / broke half of a crowded-out front tooth one night a month or so ago. My teeth sometimes chatter on their own at night.
My jaw is compact and massively internally-hypertrophic (reinforced) from a lifetime of bruxism. Also, masseters are jacked, teeth roots are extremely long, and my neck muscles are hypertrophic (no neck) too. I wonder if this is an evolutionary adaptation of a "fighter" body plan.
I too have bruxism that is wearing down some molars severely. My grandfather wore his teeth down to about nothing.
My dentist suggested I get Invisalign for tooth crowding, veneers for small canines, and a mouth guard I can't tolerate at present). If had a workable mouth guard, I would do this lozenge thing. I feel sensation in my teeth and gums constantly.
I never did whitening because I always thought the risks were too great.
I think a lot of countries want to stay on the US' good side because it's Godzilla, so they'll go along most of the time. In international diplomatic circles, whenever the words "democracy" or "the peace process" get mentioned in press reports, mentally-substitute those with the words "whatever America wants" and it will be accurate 99 times out of 100. Maybe with the ascent of China, the US and China will have to compete and negotiate more for favors than simply demanding unwavering fealty.
PS: The first porn mags I ever saw were Danish. I can't say I saw much because that was the era when beavers had full pelts.
For anyone needing to churn out flat dead trees more than once a week: I recommend getting a used flagship color laser printer with a low page count and in good condition instead of an inkjet printer. No more running ink, no more calibration pages, no more dried-out ink cartridges, and no more overpriced supplies.
Hell, yeah, they are. They're rarely designed for aesthetics. "Do one thing, do it well, and lowest TCO."
$50 consumer-grade products are almost always "crap," but you're making a sweeping generalization across dozens of product lines in 2 brands without offering any evidence or proof that you used appropriate products for the task. Fans on most UPSes only kick-in when their inverters run during an outage or a test for cooling.
I happen to have an SMX1500RM2UNC with humidity and dual temperature logging. It's floor or rack mountable, uses commodity batteries in a repairable pack, expandable, remotely manageable, logs details, works like a champ with under-voltage and other edge-case transfer conditions.
A writer is extremely unlikely to be an expert on backup power supplies anymore that I am an expert on coronary cannulas. Appeal to authority or an anecdotal testimonial is flimsy support, at best.
Sorry for your loss, but you might be wandering into the weeds on this one.
ProTip: Odds are there are 10k bars named ka-bar or k-bar founded or operated by current or former Marines.
Also, a used Oshkosh M983 as a soccer mom grocery getter. Whenever anyone cuts her off and gives her the finger, she simply shifts into 8x8 mode and drives over them. crunch crunch-crunch /s
The mixer is hipster ridiculous but hilarious. In practice, you can get a Kitchen Aid for $200.
I have my grandparent's Kirby G3 and found the older real HEPA replacement bags (not the new crap ones that dropped the certifications and may not perform as well). It's not an industrial movie theater vacuum or an ice rink zamboni, but it's more of a tank than a Bose, I mean, Dyson or a Samsung piece of plastic.
Speaking of which: if you live in a climate where it snows and freezes, a Zamboni in the garage is essential to making the local kids street ice hockey tournaments happen.
Oh, and the hardware isn't repairable and only has a 90 day warranty. It broke? Here's a 15%-off coupon to buy another landfill stuffer.
