A monastery in the English countryside had fallen on hard times, and the monks decided to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular, attracting people from all over.
One city fellow, thinking himself clever, asked one of the brothers standing nearby, “I suppose you’re the 'fish friar?’”
“No,” answered the brother, straight-faced. “I’m the ‘chip monk.’”

I knew I could never be a lawyer, because I would never pass a bar (without going in).
That’s a good old pun, I have a tear in my eye,
And I’m laughing so hard I might die

I just got an electric fan. It blows. I love it.
I want to follow up that excellent pun, but I can’t come up with Jack.

I think the same thing every time I go to Newark
“Five Nines” typically refers to something that works 99.999% of the time, which still allows for 1 screw-up out of 100,000.

This lock has a keypad, so the kid just needs to remember that. It has a key also, but if the kid never has the key, they can never lose it.
Maybe you can go a bit lower tech. There are “smart” door locks with a keypad that have Bluetooth, but are not otherwise cloud enabled. Then find a small device you can use as a Bluetooth proxy and position it near the front door, to keep tabs on it. Our lock is from Kwikset, and while there is an app to program it, once it is programmed it is pretty much stand-alone and won’t need the app anymore.
The lock does have Home Assistant integration but I haven’t tried it yet because I haven’t done the Bluetooth Proxy yet.

Same here! The totality was still cool to experience, though. This might be the only time in my life I can say that I would have rather been in Cleveland.
I agree with you. I am fortunate enough to have insurance now which covers the things I need without much of a hassle. But at my last job, they had an insurance provider who was very fond of losing paperwork, making up bullshit, and not really delivering on what it was supposed to do.
I recall complaining about this to a co-worker, who was incredulous that I would be so lazy. You see, he had a whole system of who to call and where to file what paper to get the results he wanted… sometimes. But I was amazed at how much effort he put in to work around a system that was totally artificial, inserted between patients and doctors for no other reason than to skim money. And he was proud of it! He was convinced that putting in all this effort showed that the system was working as intended. (I should add that he is the stereotypical “small government” conservative, or at least was until Donald Trump convinced him that the best use of Government was to be a tool to beat up Liberals and Immigrants with.)
It’s like these people are convinced that if something doesn’t require a huge amount of effort, it must be worthless. Meanwhile, their boss’s boss’s boss merits their large salary and stock compensation specifically because they are enough of a psychopath to make monumental decisions on as little data as possible. I am starting to feel bad for most ordinary people who vote for conservatives. Not only are they getting gaslit, but they prefer it that way!
I think Obamacare has gone about as far as we can go in reforming Healthcare while half the country is so masochistic.
