Russia is saying it because they have a political alliance with Iran and Syria. Last week, Israel bombed a Russian military base in Syria that had received arms headed for Iran.

That’s crazy. We couldn’t even wear polo shirts then and before 9/11 we had to wear ties.

It’s common at the high school level. It’s a byproduct of pandemic lockdowns.

Looks like the US has one in Tennessee, place called Raccoon Mountain, in the 1970s. At the time, the power source was to be nuclear. Another large scale project is being built near Seattle, with enough stored energy for 12 hours of electricity for every residence in Seattle. Pretty cool that such a conceptually simple technology can solve these problems.

Why? Do you think non-religious get out the vote groups should also be forced to pay taxes? I think there is a huge difference between helping congregants vote and telling congregant to vote for Trump.

It would sound stupid if you didn’t already have grease in your hair and biting cockroaches in your ass for the last 20 years. Who was the great option they could choose that was going to fix the situation?

I had an issue with my 2016 Samsung TV where the interface slowed to a crawl and as soon as I disconnected the Ethernet cord it became responsive. I called Samsung customer service and they were able to reset my TV to factory settings without what I considered to be an adequate amount of authorization. I disconnected the TV again and banned it from my network and went with Apple TV.

He might be a lunatic but their economy has been tanked for a long time. They really didn’t have much to lose by giving him a shot. Businesses need to thrive in order to pay for the social safety net that Argentina wants so they need to get the balance right. Inflation was 300% in April and they say they expect it to be down to 122% by the end of the year. It’s a terrible situation they are in. Him being elected wasn’t because he gaslighted people into thinking an improving was bad so he can’t be directly compared to Trump or people like Nigel Farage.

So you want the trains to coast from station to station? Do you really believe that or is it very important for you to be right?

I started looking up other federal prisons. There is one at Terminal Island in the Port of Los Angeles that had such a reputation as Club Fed that they had to add barbed wire and armed guards in the 80s for PR purposes. Al Capone had a stay there.

To me this falls more under the category of non profit independent news, primarily local news where all the corruption happens. Report for America, reportforamerica.org, assists these local newsrooms and has a spot on their site that you can search for sites local to you. These local papers are interesting because their individual sponsors are often influential people in your community who believe in democracy and are concerned about the power of corporate media. I just checked out our local online paper like this and see the same names that I recognize for people I know who support the arts.

The wiki page for the prison is pretty interesting. Quite the rogues gallery of convicts who have had a stay there!

Instead of Zuck vs Musk, maybe we ought to see Kelce vs Musk. That is offensive in so many ways.

Corporate kommisar copy and pasted directly from the article.

And alfalfa for Saudi Arabia.

Steve Jobs said taking a calligraphy class was the reason that having a wide variety of attractive fonts was important to him when designing the Mac.

He’s saying that “pioneers take the arrows, and the settlers take the land”.

Haiku makes him feel like a pioneer again, and it sounds like the tinkering is fun.

Based on your comment, it is highly unlikely that you would have used Linux desktop in the late 90s for the same reason you wouldn’t use Haiku today. A lot of people feel out on computers, if it was just about doing work then the vintage computer hobbyists would all find something else to do.

Let’s be honest. Any social norms about when drinking is socially acceptable go out the window at airports. It’s been that way as long as I can remember. But Ryan Air/Spirit/frontier passengers all kind of self select for having a miserable experience so I don’t blame them for trying to numb the pain.

How do you cope?

Honestly this might be useful to the home user but everyone is right to be skeptical. The bigger value for the software is corporate surveillance. They will be able to see exactly how much time WFH workers are actually working and will probably want it for exfiltration prevention. The target user might not be able to avoid using it no matter what.
