I’m confused. Are farmers the ones buying oversized trucks just to drop of the kids and shop at Walmart.

Some of that is due the chicken tax (post WW2 tax on imported trucks passed in retaliation to a tax on chickens…) Thankfully “small” trucks are having a resurgence. The Ford Maverick has sold extremely well and rumors are other brands are planing to re-enter the small truck market.

University of Michigan employee, student data stolen in cyberattack ( www.bleepingcomputer.com )

The University of Michigan says in a statement today that they suffered a data breach after hackers broke into its network in August and accessed systems with information belonging to students, applicants, alumni, donors, employees, patients, and research study participants.

Possibly. University networks can be complicated. You have a large number of students who change yearly, a large group of faculty who tend to enjoy more privileges and autonomy than a corporate employee, lots of different IT departments, lots of tech debt and legacy apps/equipment, likely not enough funding and typically a difficulty attracting and keeping IT professionals who can usually make more money in a corporate job…

And even if they did catch it immediately it takes time to assess the breach, talk with lawyers and law enforcement, determine the scope of the issue, contract a company to assist with notification requirements, identify everyone whose data was breached, identify likely addresses for those people, draft notification letters and press releases, get those drafts approved, etc.

Weird to see two long east to west districts when the state really does not have good roads running that direction and the two sides tend to be isolated from each other.

My drain has a float switch. If the line clogs and water backs up, it turns off the unit. I also have a leak sensor in the pan that integrates with my security system.

A permanent fix would be a larger drain or a backup drain.
