  • TSA literally says on their own website that they are not looking for drugs and will only report it to the police if it’s blatant.

    TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.

  • This is incorrect in most states.

    Employers can require an employee to be “on-call” and available to work on an emergency or as-needed basis. Employers are generally not required to pay employees who are “on-call,” unless the employee is actually called to duty. However, if an employer places significant restrictions on how an employee spends their time while on-call, this time may need to be compensated as hours worked.

    The tenth circuit of appeals came up with this test to determine if the employers restriction constitutes on call hours as hours worked.

    Where the employee is not required to remain on the employer’s premises, the critical inquiry is whether the employee is able to use the time effectively for his or her own purposes. Here, the report requirement necessarily entailed that the employee could not drink alcohol, must be able to dress in uniform, and must be able to travel to the airport, park, and pass through security within one hour of a call. She was not able to make or attend doctors’ appointments for herself or her children, do her weekly shopping, nor go on field trips with her children. The court compared these circumstances with many FLSA cases presenting similar, or even more restrictive, circumstances involving availability by pager, inability to drink alcohol, and ability to report within 30 minutes or one hour. In the FLSA cases, it was determined that the employees’ activities were not so curtailed as to require the on-call time to be considered compensable working time. The court followed this precedent.


  • What you have to realize is the final mix of tracks that generally end up in the public’s hand are tailored towards what the average person is going to be listening to them on and unfortunately that usually means phone and laptop speakers that simply do not have the frequency range and dynamic range to reproduce what the band intending.

    Another thing is some people just really enjoyed their music bass heavy where as others might enjoy more midbass to get that kick drum that slaps you. It’s all down to preferences.

    It’s not that difficult to find flat EQ headphones, the keyword you are looking for is “reference headphones” and “mixing headphones”. Personally I use the ath-m50x although after about a decade of hard use the highs on mine are starting to sound pretty harsh.

    (stolen from homelab, might help you in the future)

    Individual firmware, ILO and Intelligent Provisioning downloads for HPE servers can be found at :

    1. Search for your machine type - for instance dl380p.
    2. Click on first result representing the correct machine to “select your product”.
    3. Click on Drivers&Software and browse the list to find at least one link per firmware/bios/ILO etc. | OS to deploy from.
    4. On the individual firmware pages, click on Revision History to find specific versions.
    5. Linux downloads can be deployed by following the official instructions for scexe or in case of rpm by unpacking those first with rpm2cpio (search online for more detailed instructions).

    GEN 8: All latest versions available!

    GEN 9: Only “Critical” versions available!

    (see step 4. on how to find them easily)

    note: on gen 9 Intelligent Provisioning can sometimes pull firmware newer than “critical” but only up to its own release date.






  • ZFS will do block level deduplication but requires a large table be stored in ram. The issue arises that the cost to increase your ram to keep up with that table size usually ends up being a lot more than just adding more storage.

    I do believe most games have an inflated size due to uncompressed assets being included which a file system level compression could help with so long as you have the CPU to spare.




  • Mini splits air conditioners (the one on the right) have some major advantages over central air.

    With central air there’s one big condenser and evaporator for the whole house and dampers are used to block the chilled/heated air to zones that aren’t requesting for air. Since all the zones share the same air source, the more zones that need heated/cooled the slower it’ll take. This system also prevents one zone from requesting heating while another requests cooling as the system can only do one at a time.

    Now with mini splits each zone gets it’s own condenser and evaporator meaning each zone is free to heat/cool to each zones needs and airflow isn’t effected by other zones. The biggest reason why mini splits are better though is because if there is an issue you’ll only lose one zone instead of the entire HVAC as you would with a central unit.
