I did end up buying a boom stand, but the mic is kind of heavy for that and kept getting in the way. Now I'm learning toward getting rid of the Yeti and shopping for something more versatile for my home setup. No big deal; live, learn, and implement!

I've owned a Yeti mic for several years, and when the pandemic hit and we went home to work, it was my time to shine. I knew that I would have the best-sounding audio in meetings.

And then the complaints started rolling in. I don't know if it's the mic or just that my desk setup at home was not proper for audio calls, but I got to the point that I stopped using it. Now I stick with my AirPods, and no one complains.

Not that I'm saying one should use AirPods (or equivalent) for high-quality audio, but I was shocked that the Yeti turned out to have a lackluster performance.

I use Preview daily. I definitely haven't forgotten about it.

From the article ...

"Many customers also called questioning why they got a negative result from Doctors Clinical Lab but had tested positive through another lab, Morales said."

From a related article: https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/01/19/center-for-covid-con...

"Numerous Chicagoans told Block Club they received negative test results from Doctors Clinical Lab, only to get a positive elsewhere. Others never received results, or received them so late the test was effectively useless. Some people who didn’t even test at the sites were still sent results."

It appears you're saying that the response was because there were many false positive tests, when it appears to have been the opposite.

He was a great actor, and groundbreaking in this contribution to film.

That said, why is this here?

We don’t do recall elections in Missouri.

Also, sorry about Governor Hee Haw. We know he’s an embarrassment.

Why is this on HN?

If you’re using Wells Fargo, I generally think you either a.) aren’t paying attention to how bad they are, or b.) aren’t angry enough to switch.

Either way scares me.

“Understandable for a guy who went through a very bad personal bankruptcy.”

I do wonder if any news organizations has ever looked into proof of this bankruptcy, or even if he was actually a Realtor.

I'm already back in the office. I go in two days a week, and work from home the other three.

I wish there was open train data.

I deleted Facebook and Twitter on Jan. 20, and haven’t been back. It’s amazing how much better I feel getting off those platforms.

Sadly, yes.

Buy politicians.

“ Never heard of Laravel. Decided to take a look. First thing the intro documentation says to do is install something called 'Docker Desktop'. I'm good, thanks. Why do I need Docker to play around with a web framework?”

Because modern web development is complex, and Docker helps make that burden less so.

You make it sound like you took one look at the docs, and that was just too much for you to go any further.

Don’t get into front end development, because you’ll lose your mind.

You've got several questions in here, so I'll just answer my take on one.

Google "Israel Covid Cases."

One March 14, the seven-day average was 2,486. As of April 12, the seven-day average is 222.

Israel surpassed 50 percent of its population with at least one dose on Feb. 24, 2021. Shortly after that, its cases dropped like a rock.

So, do vaccines work? While correlation does not equal causation, it's some pretty strong evidence that yes, the vaccines are working.

I have no idea if Israel is doing other things like masks, social distancing, and more in addition to vaccines.

As my boss says: “HR is not your friend.”

I have a family member who read a similar story, and because he has blood clotting issues, it's giving him pause to taking any vaccine.

Nevermind that the AZ vaccine isn't even available where he lives (U.S.) yet. But couple a fear-mongering headline with an aging population, and this is what you get.

Thanks, media. Bang up job you did there.

Check out https://www.launchcode.org and see if you can get "in" going that route if they have one in your area.

Also, there's nothing stopping you from making things now, getting them online, and building on that experience. With not a lot of experience, I called up places and asked, "Do you need a website?" And got started that way.

Good luck!

Sad to hear this. As a shopper of IKEA, I am not a fan of their apps or online versions for shopping. I find flipping through a catalog a much better experience.

If you want a Facebook replacement (at least for groups) use Band: https://band.us

My wife is using it for a group she was running on facebook and loves it.

As for Haven: the more the merrier. Nice work building something!

From my experience working in (municipal) government, every agency/department wants their own look and feel. Everybody wants to be special instead of having a unified look.

I'm not saying one is more right over the other, but it's a reason why it happens.

I deleted my account today. I’m done.

I cleaned up trash last week for a work project.

The number of plastic bags, bottles, and cups I picked up out of a nature area was amazing. Plastic bags were by far the worst. There was plastic bags in waterways, plastic bags in ditches, plastic bags in trees, just plastic everywhere.

I'd love to know if the person who wrote this article has any financial ties to the oil/plastic industry.

Side note: While I picked up litter, I thought about how I once saw disposable utensils in a grocery store that were mostly made from corn. They were biodegradable, but certainly more expensive. We (in the U.S.) already subsidize quite a bit to corn growers. Why can't we make more biodegradable plastics?

"Sendy is without a doubt one of the worst written pieces of software I’ve ever had the displeasure of (a) supporting in product And (b) having to patch."

So you're saying you've never worked with Magento?

Because the work is done mainly by a small team instead of backed by a company that we are all starting to really distrust?

Also, excellent docs.

We have used Vue at my company for almost three years now. Love it.

I switched to Firefox after the recent Chrome update. It's awful.

Eat more fat.

Two weeks? I’ve been carnivore since Jan. 1. Feeling great.

I would love to buy a new guitar. I had a PRS in the 90’s and loved it. I never should have sold it.

A lot of guitars (PRS included) are now made cheaply overseas. They’re decent, but to me they’re still not good enough. I think they’re crap.

It’s a shame the industry has fallen, but the industry did this to itself. But rest assured, guitar rock will eventually make a comeback. Music trends in waves.

Will the guitar industry be ready when it does?
