I saved this quote years ago, I don't remember the source, but your post reminded me of it.
The worst I have heard was when my husband's old boss was proudly bragging about how he didn't even leave work to be with his wife while she was giving birth to their first child.
He honestly believed that was something to be proud of.
We live in Australia too, so it's not like he had American orphan crushing machine to blame. He was just a horrible piece of shit.
Channel 2 Action News was the only news station in the courtroom when a judge ruled Hannah Payne will stay in jail despite requests from her lawyers to reinstate a $100,000 bond.
I will quote for you:
"Fowler said Herring had a medical emergency and wasn't drunk. It was confirmed by our toxicology that he had nothing, no drugs or alcohol in his system."
Oh and an edit to note - your quote above of her description of events is directly refuted by the video a bystander took. That's why she is going to jail for murder. The things she said there simply didn't happen.
I mean, nepotism is rife across the world, clutch your pearls all you like but it's common enough to date colleagues or employ those with familial ties despite the warnings against. Do note that I didn't defend his choices, comparing them to shitting where you eat.
Apparently they were dating before she was hired. I can see how easily lines could be blurred when in love. The saying don't shit where you eat is appropriate with regards to work and relationships, but often people can't help themselves.
Man... being into kink is dangerous if you have money and there's a scorched earth breakup. I have heard people in kink circles say that having a contract signed by both parties offers some protection, but here it is being used against him in court. Eeek.
"The girl's father was in prison for a separate sex crime and has no involvement in his daughter's life, Tulsa Police told FOX23 News at the time of the incident."
Heh, I made the mistake of connecting to the internet, which removes the option for a local account. Even after quitting the setup and restarting the machine, it would skip the wifi question and ask for a Microsoft account.
I ended up using hotkeys to open console and using a command to disable the wifi adaptor, then another to reboot the machine.
After that it suddenly allowed a local account.
Whereupon I learned that there was no way to force it to use the dedicated GPU, win11 only allows you to enable it per program. Otherwise it decides when you need it.
I have installed win10 for now, but the writing is on the wall. When win10 is no longer supported we will finally make the switch to Linux.
What a beautiful video, I hope more cities around the world will begin these sorts of changes. There is a reason these are the sorts of places many fall in love with on a holiday.
I know all the words, and yet they make no sense. Are you being snarky? I am new here and trying to learn, and happened to have an experience relevant to the conversation this morning.
I just set up a brand new Lenovo laptop today, that came with Win11. I quickly decided Win11 was hot garbage, and installed Win10, removing all partitions and wiping all drives. I never signed into a Microsoft acct on the machine, created only a local acct in Win11 and again in Win10.
When I installed 10, it never asked me for a product key, which had me scratching my head, until I googled and found that it had already activated Win10 home and how I could activate pro.
Long story short, it does appear that newer laptops have the key in their hardware somehow.
Anyway, the writing is on the wall - I can't keep going with Windows. Which led me to lurking here.
