    Couple suggestions:

    Weed? (Denver)

    Financial Times did a study not too long ago that tracked about about half to Chinese Government. 

    Why yes, I see why you want to text embed as many keywords as possible there, eh? And of course link backs... can’t forget the linkbacks.

    It’s hard to tell, but several have been found with sketchy ties either back to governments or other similar stuff. One recent study found about half of them had links back to the Chinese government. I think it was the financial times, so it’s paywalled though. I know my former sig int employees were all joking about…

    I think you underscored my point that people use VPNs for wildly different things. It’s easy for technologists to assume the end user needs to most contrived possible solutions, but it simply isn’t necessary most of the time.

    Depends entirely on why you’re using a VPN. I’m usually coming at this from a wildly different perspective as frankly, it’s my job to make sure anyone using an anonymizing VPN can’t access their company data. If we can’t trust who/where you are, I’m sure as hell not letting you grab sensitive company data.

    Alas, another set of recommendations that anyone living at altitude cannot follow. Our boiling water isn’t the same temp as your boiling water. I usually have to resort to an instapot recipes which come out the same, or sub-boiling temperatures in a sous-vide, for the timings to be correct. (Colorado resident) 

    Southwest is probably the easiest bar to achieve. 25 one way flights or 35,000 points per year is pretty manageable. My company standardized on them since we were paying about 80K / quarter just on airline change fees. That means I’m solidly in Companion pass (100 flights or 110K points) each year. I mean, it still…

    That’s just bizarre. Government references put CR as one of the level 1“Exercise normal precautions” which is less of an issue than traveling to Germany right now (Germany is level 2 due to terrorism issues). 

    Forgot to add, USD is accepted at most places. It’s good to have a little local currency for places like gas stations, but I was able to buy groceries or hit up shops, and even food carts with US currency. Pretty handy overall.

    Getting around:

    Because offsite matters. For security and insurance purposes, having security recordings saved to the same location it is protecting is a terrible idea. Need recordings of the thieves breaking into your house? Well, you won’t because they nicked all your electronics that onsite was saving to. Need recording of the…

    There are a bunch of great BBQ places worth visiting. Oklahoma Joe’s is always worth the wait. Jack Stack too.

    I too get motion sick for certain games. I have however, found I can often modify my play settings and style a bit to get used to many of them. I’ve found that for me:

    As someone who flies 2 - 4x per week: these are pretty good recommendations. I’ll add the following:

    If you work with anything even remotely sensitive, stay very far away from running your own NAS service with external access. Several of the worst data breaches of the early 2010's happened that way. That’s why most enterprises have moved to other services by cloud hosted providers. 

    Didn’t think I implied it did. Instead of SSPR, LAPS rolls the password, and it’s looked up via AD. For the local account in Win10, if using a Microsoft account the admin account is created but disabled by default.
