Don’t forget about the Dewey decimal system. For the books with ISBNs, you can sort them into boxes by their Dewey decimal. If you don’t have time manually categorize the books without ISBNs, they can be put into “other” boxes and left unsorted

The national park service does this in NYC. It's a win win situation, goats eat the grass, and everyone gets to hang out with goats.
The article paints this as unusual but if the NPS was doing this in NYC that seems unlikely? It was over a decade ago when I was there and I think I was told it was somewhat standard.
This article seems to resurface every few years. It even mentions that it isn’t new, but I think you are right, this has been going on for much longer than 5 years in other places
> The concept’s not unique to Ventura County, which has been using goats to trim vegetation for about five years.

A former workplace of mine mandated that no-one was allowed to use re-usable coffee mugs at all. This was done because of the mass of dirty, moldy cups that seemed to fill every kitchenette in a multi-floor building.
The business was a media organization and it seemed to me like reporters were the worst culprits.
The company provided styrofoam cups which were consumed at a enormous rate, and this was deemed to be a better solution than trying to get journalists to rinse their cups.
I feel like dirty dishes have been a problem in every place I have worked. Have any companies wised up and installed a dishwasher in each kitchen, and have someone assigned to run them every night? Or even just pay someone to wash the dishes by hand?
Ah wow, I had always wondered what magic was behind this feature! Had no idea there was a spec about it, that makes tons of sense.
Here's a description of the spec, if you are interested: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch
Firefox uses it to populate the search bar drop down menu with the available search engines for a site, but it does not add them automatically like Chrome does.
Does Chrome do it for random site searches? Not for Google properties.
Chrome automatically adds sites if they have an OpenSearch description document:

Firefox requires the user to add the search engine manually: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-en...
They've still managed to find 100% of the bottles of water I've forgotten about and 100% of the water bottles with trace amounts of water still in them.
I assume that’s because they see them all day long so they are pretty good at spotting them in an X-ray. They don’t see weapons or actually threatening objects very often, or ever except for training.

I hate hate hate web outlook. I click on new emails and they often don't register as having been "read". Drives me up the wall.
Huh. I haven't had that issue with Outlook Web App. I have "Mark the item as read when the selection changes" selected in my options and I haven't noticed it failing.

This only works for editable text, though, right?
Selecting text from websites or other static text is as clumsy as ever.
Nope, it also works for static text

In my case, the first time I fully booted the Windows 10 disk was in the VM. I wonder if this counted as a 'change' or does it think that the VM is the original hardware now?
I bet that if you tried to boot the disk naitively then Windows would want to be activated.
