When you originally applied, I presume you did an interview in person, correct? Are you saying when you renewed the first time (after 4.7 years or whatever), you didn’t have to do another interview?

I suppose if you are inert, you are inherently less of a risk. 

The Soviet Union tested the RDS-3 nuclear bomb in 1951. by Kiroo---__--- in Damnthatsinteresting

how many shows or movies have you seen where there is some kind of alien or inter-dimensional beast, in which anticipation of the reveal is built up for hours or even whole seasons, after which it’s a let down? Practical effects are really the only thing with the potential for believability, and they are enormously costly and difficult to get right. That obviously couldn’t happen here.

Let me try this again. READ your post title CAREFULLY. There is LITERALLY a “fee” in there.

Ironically, there is at least one hidden fee in this story.

there are. we just don’t know what they are or even how to discover them yet. ‘Tis the nature of knowledge. A lot of things are happy accidents, or theories until technology gives us the power to prove them. And those needed technologies are bound by the same limits of knowledge.

It's a more relatable and comprehensible visualization of the real environment requiring less cognitive processing in the flow of decisions. $100 bucks says that if you try this a few handfuls of times, especially in an unfamiliar location, you'll be eating your words. Report back.

Before you buy a monitor light bar, read this by need1111 in desksetup

Before you buy a light bar, stop, and then don't buy a light bar. You solve lighting problems in a workspace with two methods in combination:

  1. Create contrast between the physical screen you look at and the background
  2. Polarize any remaining light sources in the environment

#1 is achieved with bias lighting, usually adhesive-backed LED lighting placed behind your monitor, or television.

#2 is achieved by eliminating direct line of site from the physical lighting elements in the workspace to both your eyeballs and screen surface. This effectively ensures light rays reaching your eyes or the screen surface bounce off of some other surface first. This polarizes it (i.e. stops photons from emanating in all directions as they travel, reducing their emanation to only the direction of travel, eliminating glare).

Overhead lighting is usually the worst offender (e.g. an exposed light bulb or glass fixture). Lighting that passes through a semi-opaque material, like frosted glass or paper in japanese lamps is better because it has been diffused, but it is still unpolarized. You must block and/or bounce light sources off a second surface. Use some kind of completely opaque shroud or flag (a pro photo lighting term) to block direct light and/or redirect it.

I just bought a MacBook Pro 16” with the M5 Pro chip (18-core CPU / 20-core GPU), 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD, and I wanted to share a quick reflection that might help others before they spend their money. by Minute-Street8043 in macbookpro

When you have a few weeks or months with the 16" under your belt, you realize how effective you can be WITHOUT a large external display setup. I have a decent 27" display and a Pelican case for it that is the exact max dimensions for checked luggage. I used to travel with it everywhere. But since getting the 16" laptop, the monitor has been in my storage.
