I often leave Steam running in the background. Indeed, KDE seems to be suspending more reliably after I exit Steam. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks like that script is for Gnome (based on the StackOverflow post listed on the project page, it talks to org.gnome.SessionManager via dbus). I wonder if there is a similar way to talk to PowerDevil?

The article already has one example: “Juneau, Alaska, voted to remove fluoride from its drinking water in 2007. A study published in the journal BMC Oral Health in 2018 compared the dental records of children and adolescents who received dental care for decaying teeth four years before and five years after the city stopped adding fluoride to the water. Cavity-related procedures and treatment costs were significantly higher in the latter group, the study found.”

My city has a tool library program that sounds exactly like this (I haven’t tried it yet, not sure how well it works in practice). Would be especially nice for one-off sorts of tools you don’t expect to use often.

The downside is you’d need to line up your project with their hours, and hope no one else is using it when you need it. But if you have the flexibility to plan ahead, could be a nifty resource.

Fun fact - we will intentionally inject (small) bubbles of air into your veins to look for connections between chambers of your heart that shouldn’t be there. It’s called a Bubble Study. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/what-is-a-bubble-study

Looks like evremap will do what I want, plus a nifty bonus! The following config lets me use CapsLock + N/P/etc to navigate. And if I just tap CapsLock without pressing anything else, it will act as escape.

device_name = "Telink Wireless Receiver"

[[dual_role]]
input = "KEY_CAPSLOCK"
hold = ["KEY_F19"]
tap = ["KEY_ESC"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_N"]
output = ["KEY_DOWN"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_P"]
output = ["KEY_UP"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_B"]
output = ["KEY_LEFT"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_F"]
output = ["KEY_RIGHT"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_A"]
output = ["KEY_HOME"]

[[remap]]
input = ["KEY_F19", "KEY_E"]
output = ["KEY_END"]

Note: I used F19 because it doesn’t seem to be bound to anything by default. Apparently, a bunch of the other function keys already did things, as described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet | grep FK13
    key    {      [ XF86Tools         ]       };
    key   {       [ XF86MailForward       ]       };
    key   {       [ XF86Word              ]       };      // F2
    key   {       [ XF86MailForward       ]       };      // F3

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet | grep FK20
    key    {      [ XF86AudioMicMute      ]       };

Looks like there’s an open issue (with fairly recent activity) for adding Wayland support: https://github.com/joshgoebel/keyszer/issues/27

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into this more.

Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll dig into these tonight and see what I can get working.

Hospitals will hire some staff on a temporary basis (e.g. 3-6 month contracts) to fill gaps in their staffing during times of high demand. The idea is that experienced and flexible healthcare workers (whose living situations allow it) can “travel” by working 3-6 month contracts around the country. These contracts will often pay quite a bit more than permanent staff, and it’s especially desirable for staff from states who don’t pay as well (e.g. Florida) to work someplace that pays much better (e.g. California).

You will often hear of it in the context of nurses, but I’ve run into radiology techs, social workers, and all sorts of other staff who were traveling on contracts.

In contrast to your image, I find that travelers tend to skew younger (since they generally have fewer commitments keeping them in one place). However, I’ve also seen couples who travel together (both in healthcare), and facilities will often accommodate this by hiring both and scheduling them to work same shifts so they can carpool. I’ve also seen empty-nester couples travel with an RV.

Anyway, these travel nurses would need places to stay for 3-6 months at a time, hence renting a room to them.

Yes, “sane” service is already in the “Allowed” list.

Added “mdns” service to allowed list for public zone, still get the SANE error. (Previously added 5353 UDP per another suggestion – sounds like this is the port for mDNS)

I think it’s from the boot camp scenes in the movie Full Metal Jacket.

I always read “f/u w/PCP” as “fucked up on PCP” instead of “follow up with primary care provider”.

A nurse at work had “CA$H MONEY” tattooed inside her lip. Sounded like the result of a drunken dare/bet.

Our neighborhood has the Magical Chicken Wing bush. The dog thoroughly inspected it for months afterwards, and still checks on it now and then just in case.

Looks like NOAA has historical data here: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/historical_data.shtml. The buoy from the screenshot in the article only has a few years worth, here’s 2019: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/download_data.php?filename=jkyf1h2019.txt.gz&dir=data/historical/stdmet/
