    I'll look for a doc-in-the-box soon, if this doesn't clear up quickly.

    One thing I like about this #hotel is plenty of hot water when I shower. At the house, water is usually only lukewarm at best, and even that doesn't last long.

    Lots of chain retail stores and restaurants on the South end (formerly had a small number of small, locally-owned retailers). The commercial area was more to the North, and even there, large chain stores predominate.

    I did not go down the street where the generic burger place used to be, but I did see that the mornings-only doughnuts place is gone.

    I was in the old neighborhood today (from high school and early adulthood). On the major streets, it does not look much like the same place. I did not visit any residential areas, though I've heard most homes and apartments have bars on their windows now.

    #tokenization of assets onto #cryptocurrency / #blockchain is not attracting the interest that some think it should. https://cointelegraph.com/news/tokenization-of-assets-is-not-taking-off-but-it-really-should [cointelegrah com]

    I think the author's focus is wrong. Instead of tokenizing existing regulated assets 1:1, like stocks and bonds, tokenizers should use smaller, relatively cheap items, and even then, they should ask whether it makes sense.

    You can already buy mutual funds, and indirectly own a prorated fraction of all the stocks and bonds it invests in. An ERC-20 token based on a certain number of Amazon shares doesn't make sense when you look at it that way.

    What could make sense: Tokenized ownership shares of a major artwork that periodically goes to various museums. As a cultural investment, not primarily a financial one. Assuming, of course, that enough people would be interested ... there must be more to it than a financial investment, since token-holders get all the risk of common stock without any chance to receive dividends.

    But if it made it possible for museums to display artworks for less cost and to bring those artworks to the public, then maybe tokens could be worthwhile.

    1. Tokenization of assets is not taking off, but it really should
      Tokenization offers so many benefits for investors and issuers but still remains in a shadow, not attracting the masses due to the current setup of most service offerings and lack of regulatory clearance.

    Stopped at a burger place.. My “no salt, well-done” fries were soggy, undercooked, and salty.

    I’m not planning to return to that place.

    Friend: $AGENCY asked the employees if we'd like temporary assignments to $WORKSITE. Isn't that where you are?

    Me: Yes.

    Their agency is lending employees to another agency that already has people on-site.

    1. Dilbert Comic Strip on March 07, 1995
      from Scott Adams
      Dilbert sits at his desk and turns around as the Boss enters. The Boss says, "We need to finish your program twice as fast, so I'm adding a person to help you." The Boss says as he leaves Dilbert's cubicle, "You might need to train him a little before he's productive." Dilbert waves his arms as he thinks, "Warning! Warning! Dr. Smith." Dilbert sits at his desk with the new co-worker, a small man with big ears and a disheveled shirt collar. Pointing at the monitor, he asks Dilbert, "Tell me again what the big glowing thing is."

    I don't normally use the service's own client. I generally use #OpenVPN with whatever GUI front-end is provided with the OS repositories, but in this case, I'm using #Wireguard and found no front-end. (I've done the "write a script to launch the VPN" thing before, but I dislike when the #VPN disconnects, but the Internet connection still works. That could leave you unprotected for some time until you notice the change.)

    I wish they would have either given him his vaccination anyway or at least contacted the proper county and made arrangements to have the vaccination administered to the patient.

    I went with #Mullvad #VPN. The connection is perceptibly slower, but the DNS errors are gone. The original plan was to get both Mullvad and #NordVPN, but I think I'll just use the one for a while.

    #Hotel_INET (whether "wired" or #Hotel_Wi-Fi) is generally not trustworthy enough to use without a VPN. When #Tunnelr (a now-closed VPN service) shut down, I didn't get their announcement. I was in a hotel in #MO and found a large list of sites that were suddenly blocked because I couldn't log into my VPN.

    In that case, the hotel's service provider was local, so when I told the lady at the front desk I was going to move to another hotel over the blocking, the hotel manager called and put someone from the service provider on the phone ... he then logged into the firewall and edited the rules until I was satisfied.
