    I would say the ants.

    Termites would be the equivalence to a hippo in or out of water (wood, for them) while the ants would be hyenas. One on one, the termite would win, but ants tend to have the numbers and their bodies are more built for tearing tearing apart flesh/exoskeletons. With termites, it only really the soldiers that are capable of attack/defense while most ants in a colony are capable of such.


  • Yeah, I’ve had the same issue with with a couple different brands similar to the Earpeace ones. They also felt like they were more plugging rather than filtering when fully inserted.

    With Earasers, their shape helps them latch into place pretty well, even while eating or talking. If I go into a quieter area and want to hear better I can even pull them slightly out and they’ll stay in place.

    I don’t remember how the versions are different from each other but I have the -26dB and -31dB ones in their music category. The -26dB ones work for most things and I can use the higher one when I expect it to be really loud. Their ‘starter kit’ in is a good idea if you are unsure of what size you need, you can get the ‘pro kit’ later if you want to try a third size and the other two NRR levels.






  • I went through it a few months ago and for California, at least, the only restrictions were a 2-year limit to be on it, you have to check in weekly to attest to regularly searching/applying, and that you were ‘let go’ through no fault of your own. (i.e. quit or fired)

    To add, they will generally set up an eligibility interview over the phone with a social worker before any decisions are made.

    I would also suggest to apply for health insurance through the ACA’s website as it takes a bit of time and you don’t want to be stuck without and get injured or with a penalty. (if mandated by your state) It’s generally at no cost if you don’t have an income and can be canceled when you do.



  • I’m assuming they’re more referring to something closer or related to a manufacturing engineering position as opposed to an assembly worker, both of which are normally stationed on the same floor.

    Some positions do require industry (like semiconductor, medical, green, etc…) experience/knowledge, which isn’t uncommon for people just entering into to take a lesser role while getting acquainted, certified, or whatever.






  • The only real benefit of vim IIRC is that it’s always included in an installation. The other text editors may need to be separately downloaded/installed on new or unfamiliar systems.

    Like the other user said, if nano works for you, keep it. If you ever are forced to use vim however, a cheatsheet like this one should make it doable. (And yes, hitting esc a couple times before entering any command is a common practice to make sure you exited a mode)


  • It’s more complex and expensive to have it controlled by software though.

    Hardware controlled would be the equivalence of using a splitter to add a second lamp on an outlet attached to a light switch. (would only require a change in a trace or two and a transistor/resistor or two.)

    Software controlled is the equivalence having to buy smart outlets and programming them yourself to have the two lamps turn on at the same time. (requires the same as a hardware switch, plus a more expensive or even an extra controller chip along with the need to write and program it.)
