I expect as the caffeine takes a while to metabolize. They'll get the rest naturally from their body, and about 30 minutes later when they're ready to wake up - the caffeine will also be kicking in to give a nice jump start.

But honestly, I think even if I didn't expense - I'd still pay for it. It's a great product; everything is top-notch.
Racism is hating a cultural group or having a prejudice against them, not making a comment on it.
If anything, OPs comment is a compliment on Japanese work.
Unsure if you were trying to make a point to debate the article; but it appears they're specifically speaking of private networks, not public.
Right now I'm at a co-working space and I have: - My MacBook on a stand to the left - My Asus ZenScreen to the right - The monitor the coworking space provides at some desks (If you get there in time before it's taken, lol) in the middle
Pretty great setup to know I'll have 3 screens and barely need to pack anything when I come in.
I live full time in Indonesia, and their irrigation system is much more complex. I saw nothing of the sort in Laos, so perhaps that could be a factor too.
Tell me you're in a privileged western country without telling me.
Just finished a motorbike trip in Laos. Fun fact, their largest export is electricity.
Would've never guessed that, right?
90% of the electricity they generate is exported to neighboring countries - mostly Thailand.
80% is renewable - Go Laos!
But wait, it may be renewable... but turns out the government is corrupt and constantly sells rights to the highest bidder wanting to build a dam for hydroelectric wherever they want, and usually without any sort of environmental survey - oops. It's the driest country I've been to in a while, many villages had their water access completely destroyed due to upstream dams.
Just a cautionary tale as "renewable" doesn't necessarily mean better - green-washing is absolutely still a thing out there and we should be sure to thoroughly vet information before assuming it's more viable solution for us.
Just finished a week motorbiking in Laos. It's currently incredibly hot and dry. They are at the end of dry season, but having lived in many climates with hot/dry - it still caught me off guard.
Many of the farms were bone dry - dust everywhere. Doesn't help that the regularly do 'slash & burn agriculture' where they're burning the forest, clearing it, planting their crops, and repeating after they exhaust the soil. We were constantly coming across areas on fire.
But no - that's not the issue. The government is corrupt there and is constantly selling the rights to build dams. There's no environmental survey before doing so - they're just cropping these things up all over the place; even where the return is very minimal. If there's a profit opportunity - it's there.
This is of course causing downstream rivers to run low, preventing water access to farms and villages that rely on it.
And the kicker: Laos doesn't even get the electricity generated - 90% of it is exported to neighboring countries like Thailand.
Just incredible to see.
It's the difference between bidding on the keyword BrandX when my company is ABCBrand with an ad that says:
"Come shop at BrandX" .. when it's going to my ABCBrand, and possibly even having a landing page pretending to be BrandX
vs.
"Come shop at ABCBrand" ... and going to my ABCBrand, as it should.
For a while I'd bid on the names of competitors (Not being scammy - just trying to win the #1 result placement); however, I found I was spending a bunch with basically zero conversions because - I assume, if someone is searching for something, they're expecting that something, so when they click it and realize it's not - they just exit.
On the other hand, bidding my own name: pennies.
If I walk into the jungle and a tiger devours me, well - I lost.
If aliens come down and decide that's how they want to treat us - well, shit. I'm going to learn how to evade or befriend them.
And yes - same comment; awesome tool, but lol - not worth paying for.
If they really want to monatize: Enforce account sign-up, go on a token system for each use, and give a few free for trial maybe.
I got back into it a year ago and it's nostalgic and fun - but yes, definitely a time-sink. I'll often have it in a spare window though doing some AFK skill such as fishing or woodcutting - helps keep me sane when I need to do some more mundane work tasks, lol.
Add an option where I can 'cheat' by typing a letter and still using backspace :-) That way it keeps the fingers moving, but allows me to think. In addition, I often type an 'X' as a placeholder in normal wordle so I can let my brain map out the word.
Once, I was given the primary Google account and as I was going through and updating security items on that account I discovered the previous owner had been using Google's password feature and I could login to a whole slew of his personal accounts (Not just the "Login with Google" ones). Of course, I just deleted all those - but the risk of centralization was certainly highlighted in that moment.
In my experience, I've only used them when acquiring a business. I always like that there is a 3-5 year non-compete so the previous owner doesn't just setup shop again immediately after selling their business to me.
Seems like this solution would make it much simpler, as we used Docker for everything else.
This is my phone number for the last 17 years...
Most dive shops have "Discover Scuba" which is basically they give you some brief training, but then they go on a scuba dive with you to a shallow depth (6m I think?) and basically hold your hand the whole time.
Was on a dive where one of the girls hoses blew. She didn't remember her training and shot up to the surface - thankfully we were at ~5m already, but she still got the bends and they sent her to a decompression chamber.
Buddy was recently on a trip and had both his primary and secondary regs malfunctioned while deep. He was able to swim to his girlfriend, but he's been off-put from diving since then - and he's not inexperienced.
Having a buddy is nice, but honestly isn't reliable. Most of the time I'm joining a boat as a single, and while we have our group - it's really only the dive master that's paying attention to people. Everyone else is usually inexperienced or just doesn't even think to keep an eye on others because they're out on vacation.
And even when you do have a good dive buddy, you're not usually attached at the hip. Very often you're looking at something that intrigues you and your buddy gets bored to swim a few meters a way, etc. It'll happen 1000x times in a single dive.
Edit: Lol - OP posted less than 3 minutes ago & there were no replies. Before I finished my comment there are now a dozen others with the same.
My bank recently made a 'security' updates and now my Google Voice number no longer works with their text or call 2FA. They provide no other alternatives and I must have it. I have to now call their customer service, wait a half hour to speak to someone, verify my identity, and have them reset in order for me to login.
Thankfully I rarely login to that bank as it's not used for much, but if it goes on for more than 2 months or so - I'll probably switch.
Really though, any of it is only done for some mediocre recreation.
