Nebraska is actually more blue than you might think. Also, it’s pretty assured that Democrats are showing up to town halls and making their voices heard. They’re EVERYONE’S rep no matter their party affiliation.

They’re not going to shut it off, just silence anything but their own views.

I’m mostly in the same boat. If you really want to know my kink-search-history, I really DGAF. The morality is nice to think about but it’s all about your personal morals in a lot of cases.

Is that pepper? Nope… gunpowder.

Uh, the angels that cover your malady require a 10% tithe.

Companies look at quarter to quarter metrics. NO company of any size looks at day-to-day metrics.

YOU SHOULD INSTALL LINUX

Also, Boeing notwithstanding…

One bad actor causing chaos amongst the staff entrusted with keeping airlines safe….

I’ve been pushing more to spend at Costco and less at Target. These recent announcements have me leaning even harder into that previous plan. Before I Was ambivalent about Target, now Ill generally go out of my way to avoid it.

My parents are nowhere near as deep in the rabbit hole, but I’m essentially dark on communications with them at this point. Once they have convinced me that they are fighting against the current state of things, I’ll re-engage. Currently they are unaware of this fact, but it won’t be too much longer until they realize that I have no time or desire to interact with them anymore. They will have to choose and I’m at peace with either outcome at this point.

I’m a HP reseller, but barely ( I might sell a half dozen servers a year as part of larger projects) it’s SO MUCH EASIER to deal with Dell tho. Quality has been good but not great for both for a long time.

If there is a bed available at the hospital, and you can afford the extra expense.

It makes a pretty good calculator. 🧮

As opposed to having the government directly design planes and ships and stuff? Even in ‘communist’ countries such as Russia and China, they have companies that compete for business. Remember that essentially all the billions spent with these defense contractors is employing and producing products here as opposed to overseas.

Clearly the solution is to just use a big Excel spreadsheet.

Defense contractors are mostly publicly traded companies. Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing etc.

Two big ones for me:

1. Don’t fucking call it “desktop”. I accidentally saved some files to my “one drive desktop” and it took forever to figure out where the hell my files went.
2. I work everywhere… my house, office, client locations etc. I’m not always connected to the internet and NEED my files to be local to my laptop or I have to get my phone out and tether a network which is sometimes slow as hell.

One drive can eat a bag of dicks.

Yeah. Salt, ketchup, napkin, drinks… the 1/10th penny pinching at McD has me stopping other places a lot more lately.

Russia has the option to do the funniest thing ever.
