I know people who cured themselves of Covid by snorting potassium cyanide!

Actually it’s the Flavor Aid you need to watch out for… Specifically the grape flavor.

Exactly. As long as Trump frames his lies properly to blame the left, liberals, Democrats, etc. they’ll believe and continue to follow him without question.

All Trump has to do is say it’s the fault of the liberal Democrats trying to destroy this country. They’ll believe it without question.

I had a few AC Pros in a 110+ year old house where other AP’s had issues with all the plaster & lathe walls. They worked great. I also have a couple of them installed at a non-profit org I volunteer with and everybody is very happy with how they work there as well.

After moving from that first house to a new one with a bigger footprint I upgraded to a pair of their U6 mesh AP’s, one at each end of the house. Never had any issues with them.

Trump, probably, after talking to his new bestest advisor:

Just move all your money into Dogecoin. It will be perfectly safe there.

I’ve not heard of that… Got any links to articles about it?

Idk how we fix it.

Simple. Don’t buy a TCL television. If you do have one, or any other brand of “smart” TV then for gods sake do NOT connect it to the internet.

My employer uses WP Engine for a lot of varied content. I’m not directly involved with it, but it appears to be well designed for corporate use. We masquerade various WP sites behind different domains & paths on our site. For example, www.example.com/about/ is one WP environment, www.example.com/blog/ is another, and www.example.com/business/ is yet another. Only certain people in our organization can edit /about/ and /business/, but we hire external authors to provide content under /blog/ so they have access to that.

We also apparently have the ability to modify pages on a dev/test domain then migrate them to our production domain very easily. So changes can be tested & verified before going live.

All that being managed by WP Engine means we don’t have to worry about manually setting up WP, managing our users, making sure everything is properly backed up, etc.

Best investment I ever made for my car was a dash cam that records not only what’s in front of me but what’s behind.

I only wish I had it when I got rear ended after slamming on the brakes when an oncoming car swerved into my lane then took off after cutting me off…

Well they are all the same…

There’s nothing to pardon. Presidents can only pardon federal crimes. This is a New York murder case.

Hope you will be happy with the price of goods and "inflation", you're about to have a nasty wake up call.

And not just due to tariffs, but due also to the mass deportations that may now include entire families even if all but one are US citizens or otherwise here legally. Lots of those migrant laborers work farms, slaughterhouses, etc. for poverty wages. No fifth generation red blooded American is going to work in those conditions for so little money.

Yup, that’s it. Thanks!

I recall seeing videos posted to Reddit and other social media from a number of years ago. An alleged child rapist (murderer?) was handcuffed and being escorted through the airport by police, with TV camera crews following along. The father of the victim was waiting at a bank of pay phones, as if he was using one. As the group walked by, the father walked towards them, shot and killed the man, and immediately surrendered to the police.

Although it seemed like a clear cut case of premeditated murder I recall he got off with a very minimal sentence. If this guy is caught and tried then I really hope for a similar outcome.

Until the bills for running those servers start piling up. Most/all those companies are headquartered in the US, and it likely wouldn’t be trivial for employees in other countries to suddenly start accessing finances etc. if the US offices are unexpectedly shuttered.

There’s also a huge knowledge drain that could impact the operation of those servers. I work on a devops team that manages web services serving around 15 countries. All but one of my teammates are in the US. We occasionally have to deal with hardware failures in our AWS cloud environments that requires manual intervention to recover from, for example. If that sort of knowledge is lost, or even severely limited, then it can easily lead to cascading failures that makes a site completely inaccessible.

A cop on my local police force pulled over a driver while off duty and pulled his gun on the poor guy. He wasn’t local and just made an illegal turn without realizing it. (I think the cop may have been drinking as well). Thanks to the driver having a dash cam that recorded the entire incident the cop was eventually forced to resign.

On the other hand I had a police lieutenant that lived a few doors down from me (same police department) and he was a really nice guy, both off duty and on. Once when I was a victim of identity theft, the cop on desk duty that I spoke to refused to take a report from me. I later spoke to my neighbor and he told me in no uncertain terms that the other guy was wrong. My neighbor told me to go request a report again when he was on duty, and to immediately call him if I ran into problems again.

So you can find all sorts of both good & bad cops in just about any department….

Hell, a police report used to be required to dispute fraudulent credit card charges, freeze your credit report, etc. Ask me how I know…

Not a call, but while on vacation a few years ago my wife and I were rear-ended on a highway by a drunk driver. Our car spun around and off the highway before coming to a stop. The other car stopped in the middle of the 4-lane highway.

When our rental car came to a stop we learned that it had one of those OnStar types of things because we suddenly heard a voice asking if we were ok, etc. I was a bit panicked at that point and was having a terrible time trying to tell them where the accident occurred. I could hardly remember what city we were in, much less what highway we were on, or what exit we were near.

Luckily within a minute or two a state trooper on a regular patrol arrived on the scene. He was very professional in his handling of everything, and I feel like from the very start he could tell what happened. He had paramedics on scene in minutes to ensure we were ok, and spent a good 10 minutes interviewing the other driver. When he finally came to talk to me he mostly just asked if we were ok then told me the other driver was going to be arrested for DUI. He didn’t try to blame me for anything, etc.

Bottom line is that I was very glad he showed up as quickly as he had.

Don’t condone walking down the sidewalk. You could kill an ant.
