  FedEx office (at least the one here near me in PDX) has a fascinating and moronic policy: if you send in a print job, like, say, a 60 page double-sided full color document): "There is a $17 surcharge for any print job over $50 picked up the same day. " Let's think about this. Surely a rational business trying to reduce the burden on staff would consider a surcharge for jobs of UNDER $50, to ensure that having employees spending zero-sum time on something is worth tha...

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@44CON/117037056913881882 This makes a lot of sense; Screenly (and their sister company, SBOMify) are just sooo good. They are sponsoring one of the world's most under-rated and seriously great practitioner-focused security conferences - I really can't recommend #44CON 2026 any more highly - if you are anywhere near London this September, I hope to see you there.

  The most remarkable thing about this story is that the bride, jilted at the altar by the caterer, refused to name and shame the caterer, saying that these things happen. I am certain that I would have done the same thing she did, if by that one infers I mean I would have immediately commenced a campaign to name and shame them in every available media open to posts and I would consider ads in LinkedIn and insta. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7vgd5jmryro?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss

  I love code shares. My “Delta” flight is actually a “KLM” flight that is operated by Hop, an airline so stupid it could only be French.

  So happy to see that under the bold leadership of Oresident Donald J. Trump, the price of so many things is falling. Take home loans, which form the foundation of the American dream!

  #usability Having a link leading nowhere, or a warning that opens to nothing is super irritating and easily suppressed. Not doing it shows you really don't care about your users' journey.

  For those of us lucky enough to have a parent with memory issues or dementia, I recommend the Memory Board. We installed it yesterday and already it is helping. You can schedule messages, mix images and text, and it rotates the messages currently set to display. No subscription, just buy the tablet, which starts at $175 in the US. https://memoryboard.com

  Thank God they didn't try this in America. I quote Homer Simpson just before he signed a high interest car loan with a balloon payment in five years: "But that's a long time from now, right?"

  This pan is hand-raised from 2.3mm thick copper by Spijk Selby at his workshop in Copenhagen, Denmark, and lined with pure tin by Normandy Kitchen Copper for a naturally non-stick cooking surface. The handle is forged from 304 stainless steel and secured with 3x 6mm pure copper rivets. Stainless steel was chosen over cast iron for its lighter weight, and over brass for its slower heat-up time, keeping the handle more comfortable to hold during cooking. The pan's black finish is achieved thro...

  hey #artists: My friend who does spiritual counseling is making her first time web site and needs a logo that spells her four-letter name in a series of hand drawn letters comprised of stages of a flower opening. Any Fedi folks know of someone I can hire? Thanks in advance and please RT for reach?
