Once we start killing these people, the problem will start to go away. Own a robocall server?.45ACP to the head. Sit in a boiler room making calls? Off with your head! Just start killing them. All of them. I'd love to see some robocall center owner take a few rounds of 00 buck to the chest at close range. These people don't deserve to breathe. Fuck them.
Two words: Castle Doctrine - and there's a bevy of statutory and case law that will give me the A-OK to empty a magazine of 9mm jacketed hollow points into you. Come into my room without me letting you in and you'll be staring down the barrel my carry concealed handgun that always goes where I goIf your direction of travel is not out that door, I will turn you into a human fountain and not lose a minute's sleep over your poor choice.
The only way a hacker is getting to the controls of a nuclear power plant is through a fusillade of bullets by armed plant security (and the on-duty force at any given time puts most small city police departments to shame).
There are some shows I go to alone (because my taste of music isn't mainstream)... so yeah - it's nice to have a phone to kill time between bands rather than trying to make small talk with complete strangers (sorry - classic introvert here). Oh well - the pouches are pretty easy to defeat anyway. Note to venue security - is a felony assault charge worth it over a performer's no cell phone policy? As evidenced by the "cell phone free" Misfits shows at the end of 2017 - Yondr pouches were being torn open and discarded in the venue or thrown on stage as a "fuck you" to Glenn Danzig.
For the record, we've seen Doyle - he's fine with phones. The Misfits (with Jerry Only singing) and he was fine with he - hell... he'd hang out before the show and let fans take pictures with him.
Yeah - so it's a Danzig thing. He tried the "no cell phone" thing when we saw him a few years back. Danzig's a douche anyway. If I were that ugly I wouldn't wan't people taking my picture either.
Last time I saw the Melvins, it was all red LED stage lighting. LED stage lighting, in general, is hell on smartphone cameras - fucks with the auto-focus and washes out the image. Needless-to-say, my pictures/video came out awful. If that was intentional, it worked.
We live near Lake Ontario where our municipal water supply comes from. Nice long hot showers, greener than green grass in the summer from our sprinkler system...
Yet everyone wants to live in southwest US where water is running out.
Most jobs really don't require a college degree as you can train a monkey to do most everyday tasks - but most employers are looking for people who are going to stick around for a while, get along with others, and provide some kind of long-term value.
As someone who used to hire/fire IT people - a college degree (with bonus points for someone who went away to school) tells me that the candidate has a better chance of:
1.) Finishing something he/she started 2.) Can deal with a diverse group of personalities (particularly if they went away to college and endured dorm life) 3.) Developed better reasoning and coping skills 4.) Can meet deadlines and other goals required of college students 5.) Proving they don't rely on mommy and daddy to get through the day 6.) Tend to have better soft people skills
I also gave military vets without college degrees equal footing... and if I had someone with both an honorable discharge and a 4-year degree, they usually went to the top of the pile... but I tended to weed out combat vets due to issues such as PTSD, rigidity, frat-boy mentalities and personality disorders that are common with that segment of population as they likely would not gel with the rest of the department.
For temporary / project work - college degrees aren't as much as a requirement as these people are usually working within a fairly narrow set of requirements and duties anyway. So long as they show up and do what's required of them - that's fine. If they're exceptional workers and there's an opening in the department they'd be a good fit for - they usually get first crack at the job as they're now a known quantity.
Now that said - not everyone's cut out for college, and not every job is suited for a college graduate. Skilled trades are having a tough time filling openings (i.e., carpenters, electricians, plumbers, steelworkers, welders, heavy equipment operators, etc...), and someone who isn't afraid to put on a hard hat, endure the elements and get their hands dirty will likely out-earn most college grads anyway.
The Outlook is destined to die ONLY because the SMTP and POP protocols aren't secure anymore. And even if they use the secure transport their providers are obliged to store your correspondence for the Competent Organs.
I think the RetroShare mail subsystem has become operational enough to replace the SMTP.
Most e-mail providers have secure IMAP (i.e., Gmail, etc...)... and Exchange is alive and well.
I don't see these being used for long-haul stuff... but more for the drivers who go from point A to point B and back to point A within a single day. Park the truck and plug in the charger.
It might have been she was CSO for political reasons as one would find in big companies that the person who plays politics is promoted over people who have experience or skill.
They make it seem as though the ISS will fall out of the sky the second someone in Houston gets up to drop a deuce. They have all sorts of contingency plans in place in the event they can't talk to Houston, Moscow, whoever... to sustain themselves for a few days until comm links can be re-established.
Then said pets shit said food out - which creates fertilizer - which grows plants - which converts Carbon Dioxide back into oxygen - so said pets (and slaughtered livestock) can live to breathe another day.
Most campaigns are vaguely worded, lack a compelling sales pitch, and as others have stated above, provide little to no accounting for the donations. People aren't going to donate money because someone is asking for it.
Then there are the campaigns for people who have house fires - and expect $25,000 in donations - when in reality, insurance will eventually cover their losses. I never donate to these.
What's up with these millennial kids who expect to be hired, transferred 3 times and made boss in less than a year of being hired? Face it Susan, you were a squeaky wheel, a proverbial pain in the ass - and you got managed out the door.
Live near Lake Ontario where our municipal water is pumped from - a limitless supply of water considering it comes from the other 4 Great Lakes too. But hey - people want to live in drought-prone areas and hope the government will come to fix it. Have fun with that.
I started going to the movies again when they opened a Movie Tavern in the area. Reserved stadium seating, large reclining chairs, waiter service to your seat with a button on the tray to summon them, decent food and BEER in a glass!! Prices aren't much higher than a regular movie theater and the food is around Applebees quality and price with a decent drink selection. Shit - the beer is cheaper than the popcorn. Score that a fucking win in my book! Living like Vincent Vega in Amsterdam.
What's gotten me back into the theaters is that a Movie Tavern nearby about a year ago. Reserved seats, comfy large leather recliners in a stadium seating arrangement, lots of legroom, waiter service to your chair with meals, snacks, beverages, beer and wine - and a button at your chair you can push to summon your waiter back for more beer. Prices are not much higher than most theaters, the food is Applebees price and quality and the beer is cheaper than the popcorn.
I like Netflix, but they have too many 2nd rate movies that barely made it to the big screen.
XM radio was pretty decent when it came out... the merger with Sirius killed it and what used to be good music only stations turned into total shit. Case in point - Liquid Metal... and that stupid little non-stop talking egomaniac Jose Mangin who won't shut the fuck up. Just play the music dude.
Opie and Anthony had a good ride on XM, and Sirius put the brakes on them... firing Anthony over some stupid off-air snafu.

Go figure.

Either that or she gives really good head.

I work at a 2,000 megawatt 2-reactor nuclear power plant. So what this article implies is that my cats pollute more than the power plant. Cool.

In case you want to hear some Finnish death folk metal, here you go. I find it's great music to have on when you're gaming.

In other words, a Finnish twist on Manowar (from the equally bleak, depressing town of Auburn, NY - about a half-hour from Shittycuse).
Time to start playing indie and Top-40 hits on AM radio stations? Really retro man!
