One of the benefits of working from home.

I assume you mean you can have a home device near you, while working from your work computer. I use my phone for that, and if necessary, I have a home laptop I can use.

Yes. My work laptop is on my left, my home computer is on the right. DRC is exclusively on my home computer.

When I'm at work I do 100% of non work related stuff on my phone. I doubt anyone would care about the mostly news sites I visit during the day but may as well be safe.

You mean the Bible belt area wants to restrict abortion? I'm shocked! </sarcasm>

Just remember: Over 4,000 people in Alabama voted for Kanye West. Derive from that what you will...

Texas: The largest continental state is so expansive that El Paso, in the western corner of the state, is closer to San Diego, California, than to the Houston/Beaumont area, near the Louisiana state line; while Orange, on the border with Louisiana, is closer to Jacksonville, Florida, than it is to El Paso.

I've been to Burnt Cabins, PA. My wife had a long dead relative pass through there some time (like 200 years) ago. We visited there on the way back from NC April 2023. Not much there now.
