Kamala Harris could make history as the first president to work at McDonald’s
Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job....

It's just possible that he has too much power.
Musk sent a powerful message to all Tesla owners with this stunt. I hope everyone's listening.

Sony lost me many years ago when they decided it was appropriate to include a PC rootkit on an audio CD. This only lends weight to that decision.

Insurance Company Flew a Drone to Take Photos of Man's House and Canceled His Policy
Reply in thread
IANALAIANYL. In the days before the internet, I had a family member who worked for an insurance company. Buried deep in the contract was language that allowed agents of said insurance company to come on the property at any time. Her job basically was to go to people's houses and walk around taking photos, usually at policy start or in the case of a claim - before and after. If anybody harassed her, they were at risk of having their home insurance dropped. This was Miami in the 1980s fwiw.

Trump revokes Biden removal of Cuba from US state sponsors of terrorism list
Let's be real. For Biden it was nothing more than thumbing his nose at Trump, because he knew that Trump would act like a 13-year-old and try to reverse everything his predecessor did.

Garbage. I'm over 50 and I'm not worried.

There's lots to criticize Harris and Dems for. Nonetheless...
Vote as if there weren't two full sets of electors insulating you from the actual outcome.

‘No one wants to be right about this’: climate scientists’ horror and exasperation as global predictions play out

I lived in Phoenix for a while, 05-08ish. I grew up and live in Florida now. The difference really is the "dry heat" that everybody treats as the big joke. You can still sweat in 125 and dry air. 125 in humid air doesn't let you sweat.

At least they're finally acknowledging that the base band never really shuts down.

How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?
My company went remote first in April 2020. Even if I left here, there's no way in hell I'm going back to an office.

Why does every post I post here get down voted?
Reply in thread
Not understanding that upvotes are popularity driven might be the first error.
Make your posts, ask your questions, and move on. If people are interested it'll get traction. If they're not, expect apathy or downvotes. Just the way it works.

Biden supporters mostly back him in 2024 election because they oppose Trump, poll finds
This is the practical outcome in a system where voters are forced to vote for the least problematic candidate out of a pool of two preselected politicians. Nothing will change, administration after administration, until the people are allowed to select their own candidates and the media promotes more candidates than just the big two.
Side note: a lot of people right now will be knee-jerking and wanting to respond to me that that's what the primary system is for. Wilding v. DNC Services Corp and the Democratic primaries that caused it should disabuse anyone of that notion. And trust me, if the Democrats are dirty dealing so are the Republicans.

In America, asking for help often only results in a lighter wallet and additional related or semi-related stress. " It is what it is " is not only cheaper but offers more peace faster.

It's not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what's going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It's a safety measure.

Why bother
Windows is also really good at running kernel-based rootkits disguised as anti cheat. That's something else Linux can't do!

Are you ok (really, are you)?
Not really, but since I'm not going to find any solutions here and people have it worse, I'll leave it at that.
