If I wasn't before, I'll be questioning the integrity of what I see in videos. Watch Barack Obama as Luke Skywalker? Funny. Watch me in some crime I did not commit? Less funny.
I've put in a lot of effort over the years staying the hell out of courtrooms, but if I were a judge, I would seriously question ANY photographic evidence these days.
A handful of ordinary dumb users and a smart sixteen-year-old with authority issues should be able to find enough bugs to keep the QA department busy for quite a while.
Forward-thinking, no knee-jerk reactions, no inflammatory rhetoric to rile up his base, not immediately jumping on an open opportunity for a power-grab... are we sure this guy's a politician?
This Prime Minister SHOULD be praised. When a politician does the right thing, he or she should get just as many hyperbolic e-mails as when they screw up. Yeah, yeah, I'm well aware I'm living in a dream world, but It's always been harder to build up than tear down.
It can't possibly work. If I'm not allowed to call someone a 'bastard', I'll write, "You, sir, are the result of an illicit conjugation," a game of wack-a-mole if ever there was one.
This place, NextStep is where I got the flat screen monitor I'm looking at right now. I was looking for a long ethernet cable last week and went to the recycling office first by mistake where I discovered a room full of young people from disadvantaged families being trained (and paid) to test and/or disassemble computers and various other stuff. The volunteer supervisor directed me to the store. I think that's pretty cool.
Just the other day, my roommates' dogs went ballistic when the store delivered my new desktop. They always do when someone knocks on the door but Teddy just wouldn't stop. I had to lock him out of my room while I set it up.
I had planned to install Mint side by side with Windows but I was worried about UEFI considering all the complaints I'd read. The first Nerd Squad guy said, "I don't know anything about Linux." But the other one said, "I do. Is it a Debian based distro like Ubuntu or Mint?" "Yes." "You'll be allright. Just press F12 and disable secure boot."
So I started going through the initial Windows software setup. -- "Do you want Windows 10 to have access to everything you do?" I click no. "Are you sure? It's for your own good. It will be really cool." I click no. Teddy started moaning again and scratching at the door. "Windows wants your new computer to be safe. Are you really, really sure?" I click hell no and it finished doing it's thing. I turned it off, plugged in the thumb drive, restarted it and pressed F12. It was just like the guy said. Easy.
I was, however, having trouble figuring out how to set up partitions for a side by side install. A lot of trouble. I'm no expert and I was being very cautious.The last time I tried this it went much easier. All the barking and howling wasn't helping my state of mind and neither were the online instructions and forums.
So Mint sez "Are you sure you want Windows 10? It kinda sucks anyway." I thought about it while I took Teddy for a walk. I couldn't think of a single Windows program I use that couldn't work with Wine so I reformatted the whole drive (2 terrabytes, yum yum) and installed 17.3. Finally the dogs settled down. Teddy jumped up on my lap and smiled.
Funny thing, I never noticed that he doesn't smell like a normal dog. For real. He actually smells kind of nice. Sort of minty fresh.
Right and wrong is different from place to place and changes over time. Can you think of some that stay the same? Honesty? Politeness? When I hear someone say something that sounds like BS I'm likely to say "I don't understand, could you explain that please." It may cause them to rethink what they said or may result in an ad hominem attack. Or they might prove it isn't BS.
I wrote that first headline like that intentionally. I try to never use brand names to identify a generic product unless I am endorsing it. That goes for party affiliation as well.
Please, politicians, would you go get some sort of rudimentary technical education, or at least get some technical advisors, or technical advisors that aren't incompetent? Thanks.
If a site is important enough to me, I'll pay a nominal fee rather than slow loading times with what is often intrusive hogwash. If it's not, the information I seek is probably available elsewhere.
A few weeks or months after paying, I believe you will see the ads return full blast. Even Bild's announcement says paying will stop "most" ads.
Good and evil changes over time and from place to place. What never changes? Darn little comes to mind. Maybe honesty and kindness? Shouldn't we focus on that?

My handwriting is so bad it qualifies as strong encryption.
political: of, relating to, or involving the state or its government -- not the kindest way to describe someone but not inherently a bad thing.
correctness: the quality of conforming to fact or truth; free from error; accurate -- not at all a bad thing.
politically correct(PC): polite; respectful; considerate of the feelings or sensibilities of others -- terribly bad, evil, oppressive
I'll leave 'social justice' as an exercise for the readers.

Ben Carson had some experts make him a map. https://img.washingtonpost.com...
Can't help but to notice the resemblance between the snake oil peddlers and the politicians.
With Ben Carson you can have both.
Very civil, somewhat civil, not very civil, and not at all civil. That's what the little slider is for.

My irrelevance to Twitter knows no bounds which pleases me greatly. I am nobody's target demographic.

Everyone's kind of miserable today up here in Oregon. Nice to read some good news.
I figure the judge saw an opportunity to free up a BIG block of vacation time. 168 cases is a lot. I would of done the same.
Why has the mass media finally 'discovered' it? Because Apple. Does this mean that advertisers believe Apple users are suckers?
