Having a pair of default gateways could be an issue. On Windows (which I know, isn't the OS here), you have to be pretty careful because if you're straddling two networks, you need to pick one network to be the dominant one, that's the one whose default gateway will get packets heading onto outbound networks.

People get mad at me when I say we need to be careful of the official numbers, this is the second largest revision of job creation in US history. The largest revision was during the great financial crisis.
"It's not that old, 2003 is only...."
Excuse me, I need to go find one of them Canadian suicide booths before I get too old and feeble to use one...
Really, thanks to the superpower they have of using money that doesn't even exist (Think you could make money if you could make money out of thin air?) it almost isn't anyone's money.
Except when the bill comes due, then it's the taxpayer's money. The middle class didn't need that money anyway.
I think it's like a big truck, not a series of tubes.
In Trigun, I always thought that the disconnect between Vash pretending to be lecherous and the reality of him pretending to be passed out when girls come up to actually do something with him shows it's part of his facade and adds a lot of depth to what could otherwise be a shallow character trait.
Always seems self-evident that equipment you don't own and control isn't going to work on your behalf.
China is the West's picture of Dorian Gray. We pretend we're so good for reducing our carbon use by not manufacturing anything and switching to less immediately carbon intensive, meanwhile the rest of the world exported 182 million metric tonnes of coal to China (roughly 140 million cubic meters of the stuff) last year. That would be enough to fill 208,000 3000sqrft mcmansions from bottom to top with coal every year.
So why does China have so much green energy going in? Because exploiting the environment sometimes includes green energy. You dam every river, raze every forest to set up windmills or solar panels or to burn as "biomass", because you want to suck up every bit of resources you can and that includes stuff that happens to be considered green.
That's not all. China has also used more concrete than the rest of the human race throughout all of history in just the last few decades. Cement in particular is a highly carbon intensive thing to make (particularly using fossil fuels which almost all cement is made using), and they've built empty cities that'll some day fall into dust without having ever had people living in them.
That's why I say we need to be very careful about letting environmentalism become a box they package up and put on the shelf. It's easy to think we can consume away our problems caused by overconsumption, but it's much more complicated than that.
"Like, you can say, 'Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labour,' right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income,"
Bahahahaha
You've convinced me. Let's eliminate child labor laws.
It always seemed kinda sus, glad I started a matrix homeserver instead.
Thats interesting news. I don't think I would have heard of this through any establishment source. Thanks for posting it.
Short side hamper handle from the top:

I always enjoy prints that just become part of our lives (and especially ones that let us keep using something that's going to the landfill otherwise)
The hamper has handles that break. For most people I think that'd be time to replace it. I didn't want to do that, so I designed a new handle based on the handle on the short end. This ended up being a mistake later, I'll explain then.
I printed 2 handles (the connection between the two is just to make the printing work better since it can print the two pieces as one piece, then I just snap the two apart and clean up the spot they were connected)
I used my rotary tool to remove the remnants of the original handles. I should have used the cutting tool but I had the diamond grinder so I used that. It worked fine, I was able to fully remove the old material. A quick test fit confirmed that the handle design was pretty good (I just used a tape measure for the measurements so this was a real potential problem)
I went to the long side, but realized that the design of the hamper was different lengthwise than widthwise. I removed a couple tabs that were going to block the new handle, and instead of putting it in as designed, I just put it sideways, which fit.
I put the two in and added gorilla glue. Gorilla glue requires water to foam up, so I wet all the parts. Now everything is fitted, the glue is in, and it's just drying now. I'd consider this repair a success, and I expect the strong PLA part to give the whole hamper a lot more stiffness at those parts, and there's significantly more material in these spots that break. If the other two handles break, I'll just print two more, and at that point I can't help but think that the hamper will be bulletproof.

I tend to think that right now we're in an era of Soviet-style hyperrealism because things are actually getting much worse for the common man in many ways, and nobody wants to be the one holding the bag and having to tell people that things actually are as bad as they feel.
I've seen quite a few politicians say it outright: "Don't tell people things are bad, they'll start acting like things are bad which will only make things worse" -- sort of like George W. Bush's stupid "The economy is crashing, keep spending no matter what" directions to the people. It's really irresponsible, and one of the reasons why both the people and the state have gotten so much weaker over the past 20 years (They're expressing more authority but the clock is ticking). Instead of pulling back which hurts the economy in the moment but helps individuals be more resilient and prepared, and instead of pulling back spending when times are allegedly "good" so you spend in the bad times and you spend in the good times, both parties shotgun money into the economy during the "good" times and then also during the "bad" times.
Bread and circuses, and the fall of an empire... Much like 1991 I'm sure.
