One nice thing is that the Polish church records are in Latin (with Latinized names), so I've been able to find and read birth/baptismal records for my wife's ancestors from the 1800s.

It's weird to see starlings listed as endangered. We seem to have no shortage of the darn things in the US.

I haven't been in decades but there seemed to be the world's highest concentration of candle shops. Maybe people are looking for fancy candles.

If you go the old school "filter taped to box fan" route, be sure to add a shroud for the corners, as blade tip turbulence there actually causes reverse air flow. See the article by the 'R' of Corsi-Rosenthal.

The attack on Stryker used Microsoft InTune to remote-wipe all of Stryker's systems. If you can wipe a system, could you also drop code on it exfiltrate data and credentials?

I work with hospital IT people at customer sites. Can confirm that the positions seem to require neither extensive knowledge nor effort.

Finding someone like that is hard for many churches.

Moby-Dick really is a great book. If you want a dolphin-sized taste of Melville, try Billy Budd.

> I think the concept of a ubiquitous language is excellent. Everyone should standardize on a common set of vocabulary. We even took it so far as to have a dictionary of our business domain terms. It's so obvious in hindsight that it seems completely foolish to do anything else.

I started doing this after working on ANSI/ISO standards. It feels like a hassle until there's an 'ah-ha' moment where (e.g.) everyone realizes that what Group A called 'foo' was what Group B thought was a reference to a 'foo', and not the thing itself.
