Business opportunity: telepresence tourism.
I’m imagining a self-driving tour bus full of telepresence robots stopping at
all the tourist destinations, and the robots get out and their humans back home
in their VR headsets drive them around to sightsee. Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc

I started at $1.80 at the pizza joint. After a month or two I got a raise to
$2. I think all new employees got a quick performance review at which they
either got a 10% raise or got fired.
I had a summer job as a shipping clerk, I don’t remember what it paid.
First job after graduation

I’ve never had an issue with my MX Bluetooth mice.
Every one of my staff has a mouse on their desk, even though they all have
laptops.
I personally just use the trackpad, but I’ll admit a mouse is easier to use.

Let’s face it, how many people walk into a store these days looking for a

It's the wireless protocol. Bluetooth doesn't do very good with latency
which is why you'll see lots of weird blips with a mouse. Logitech
developing a custom protocol helps them prioritize latency over anything
else so your mouse is super smooth.

Maybe it's the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600 I use from time to time,
but I have extreme problems with the mouse becoming jerky if my laptop is on

it doesn't seem to coexist well with WiFi. You'd think the

That's been pretty well established, although it's still somewhat

of peanuts into their diet. It has worked.

I was reading that the best way to build up a tolerance to a peanut allergy
is to eat a very tiny amount daily
and build up over time. They have to be eaten every day to maintain
tolerance or you can go back to the
beginning. In this way, if someone accidentally ingests something with
nuts, the
I don't know if it's worth fussing over the peanut allergies like we
sometimes do. If the kid gets anaphylactic they better learn to read
the package. If they're so allergic they can't be in the same room with
a peanut then in the long run they're just screwed.

It's mostly a software problem. You'll need some kind of software (such as
Veam) to connect to your hosts, snapshot them, then copy the snapshot off to
somewhere else.
Proxmox, as a hypervisor, makes this stupid easy.
