Bobby Kennedy would roll over in his grave if he knew what kind of person his son had turned into.
Edit: for reasons other than his philandering. That part is very on brand.

That makes sense and I just learned something new. Thanks for the correction!
That style actually pre-dates the 80’s by at least a few decades. In more traditional music, particularly Christian hymns, that’s referred to as a “descant”.
It was popularized in church music in the early 20th century by Ralph Vaughn Williams.

Meanwhile my cat:
“Hey. Heeyyyy. Heeeeeeyyyy! Hey slave, where’s my food? Where’s my food slave? Do you not know wtf time it is?? We do this every day. Are you fucking dense? Stupid slave. ‘WeLl YoUrE tHiRtY FiVe MiNuTeS EaRlY’. DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A SHIT!? You should just know! I’m gonna be here eventually. You know this. So why is my food not ready and waiting for me the moment I arrive? Slaavvvveee. Are you listening to me?? Where is my food you useless twat!?”
Tom Cotton is an embarrassment to the State of Arkansas and we did not need anymore help in that arena.
Not nearly good enough to make me give up Quicken but it is nice to see some more self hosted options popping up.
You know, I would bet there’s tens of thousands of Russians that would be interested in having children if they didn’t all have a case of unnecessary deadness. If only something could have been done to avoid that.
Nothing. As far as I know he’s still there. That company was a raging dumpster fire.
Guy in my department strolls into my office and says, “Welp, this is probably my last day working here.” I asked him why he would say that. He sits down and shoves his phone across the desk toward me. I start reading and it’s an email from him to the CEO complaining that our boss is, in so many words, a complete fucking moron.
I finished reading and was just like, “Yeah, you shouldn’t have done that.” I mean, he wasn’t wrong. I agreed with basically everything in his email. He was also right about it being his last day working there because he was fired that afternoon.
I’m an American but I remember talking to a gentleman from Belgium years ago while visiting Muir Woods. He said something along the lines of, “You all have some of the best national parks in the world. You should be very proud of them.”
That conversation gave me a new appreciation for our national parks. We are fortunate to have some pretty amazing scenery in the US.
Private equity spent most of the 90’s destroying Montgomery Ward and Eddie Lampert held Sears/KMart under the water until the bubbles stopped so he could cry to anyone that would listen that the retail business was failing while he made a fortune selling off the company’s real estate.
I prefer the council/manager scene myself, although that’s probably less common.
Manual transmissions are operated almost entirely by “feel”. Once that sinks in, it’s a lot easier.
If you can, go find a quiet street, parking lot, or any place with an incline. Practice stopping in the middle of the incline and taking off without stalling. Don’t stress out when you inevitably stall. You will and that’s ok. If you can master starting on a hill, you’ll find that the rest of it comes a lot easier.
With the transmision in 1st and your foot on the brake, release the clutch very slowly until the engine starts dragging just a little. Slowly take your foot off the brake. You’ll know the clutch is in the right spot if it keeps you from rolling backwards. At that point, start to accelerate and let the clutch out slowly. Continue to accelerate and up the hill you go.
Don’t hesitate to hit the brakes at any time if you feel like you’re going to roll backwards. Better to stall than to roll back into someone behind you. Depending on the gearing, you may be able to start in 2nd and that will keep you from having to worry about shifting in the middle of the hill.
Don’t panic. Learning is good. If someone gets upset with you because you’re inexperienced and stall out then screw them. They should try to remember what it was like to learn how to drive. It just takes practice, practice, and more practice.
Probably because old habits die hard. Kaspersky used to have a pretty good reputation as far as AV software. In the past, I used TDSSKiller to resurrect many PC’s where other antivirus software failed.
Unfortunately, the whole Russia being a malicious actor negates any reasons to continue using Kaspersky.
President Convict also had their top general assassinated which did not exactly help diplomatic relations.
Shot myself with a BB gun when I was a kid. Not intentionally. I shot at a tire filled with concrete because I was being an idiot and it didn’t occur to me that the BB would ricochet off the tire. I would have shot myself in the face if not for my left middle finger being in exactly the right spot. I still have the scar as a reminder.
Remember kids, BB guns are firearms and firearms deserve respect.
I’ve had a Phillips Sonicare for years with no complaints.
If you knew how much of the critical infrastructure in the US is held together by Windows Server and duct tape, you would be very concerned.
I’m assuming this went down like the church scene from The Blues Brothers. Some lady goes out to the woods to get a little clarity where a bright light from heaven shines down on her and instead of James Brown, Bigfoot appears and says, “Have you seen the light!?”
And she’s like, Yes! Yes! Jesus H Tapdancing Christ! I have seen the light!"
And just like that, she’s off on a mission from God.
