It seems that sometimes things on the internet are not always what they seem. Occasionally clicking on a link for a free iPad can land you on a video made by performer Rick Astley in the 1980's.
More on this later, now for a news item about a local resident named Bob who has made a living out of his love for feinting goats and how his raising of goats in the city limits has upset the city counsel.
It's a page dedicated to creating easy to remember passwords for children.
I use it on my adult users all the time when I have to create a password for them, and I copy-paste the entire picture of the dinosaur and send it to them when I do.
If I had been wanting to leave but couldn't due to a lease I would jump on this as a change I didn't accept and get out of there. I would hold the complex to 30 days notice however.
I got my wife one of those $50 Amazon tablets recently. Removing the Facebook app increased her battery life by close to 60%. A significant part of the reason I paid the money for the Sunshine crack to own my Android phone was to get the Facebook app off my phone all together. The storage space it doesn't deserve, the battery life and bandwidth it hogs, not to mention the spying is way more trouble than Facebook is worth.
Sure, now I still have to deal with the Google and Amazon spying, but one bridge at a time.
about twelve years ago I lost 30 lbs just by deciding to. I don't know how I did it, but I decided to lose weight, decided it was going to happen, didn't change my diet or activity and 30lbs was gone in a very short period of time.
I have been unable to do it again since gaining it back.
I've found that when I'm stressed, mentally exhausted regularly and feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders I gain weight easily. When I feel unburdened and things are going great I lose weight easily. Some of it is that I'm more likely to do recreational exercise when I'm less stressed, and indeed the last time I got down to a good weight that was the case, but I can't contribute it to that every yo-yo.
Generally the first thing I hear is an attack on source - all of them if possible. That's just someone who's established a position and has made up their mind no matter what. Usually I try to get both left and right wing sources when I'm trying to give evidence to a point. It's a little harder to do it this time since, with the exception of possibly some websites that support Bernie and want to defend him against the framing he's gotten of astroturfers marching against Trump in his name there's not going to be many left-wing outlets exposing their bread and butter.
I'm not a Trump supporter BTW, I've been voting Libertarian for quite a while and I intend to again. I was even a delegate to the state convention, and the only reason I'm not going to the national convention is economic - I need to work and not spend money on trips to Florida. Perhaps next time.
You're the first to guess it. Most of what's been pinned on Trump supporters has actually been paid and planted people from the Hillary camp, and in a couple of cases Cruz/"establishment" people.
for a long time due to SJW's seizing articles and the bureaucracy letting it happen.
Basic rules for classifying political alignment on WIkipedia:
If it's seen as a positive thing it's left wing, if it's seen it's negative it's right, even if the world socialism is used to describe the ideology.
If there's a way to take a stab at something male when gender neutral terms would work just as well or better take the stab. If it gets neutralized change it back and use the justification "no it was right before".
Some of this doesn't seem as bad as it was, I actually donated a little again, but overall rule by committee sucks.
I never thought I would see this sort of thing in my lifetime.
Using your own strength and position to get what you want is healthy, respectable competition. Running to regulators is like a couple of little kids fighting in the back seat and is admitting you don't have what it takes to play on the market. Especially at the size of these two companies.
I wouldn't call a good solid DSL connection "hot garbage". It may not be the most high-capacity option available, but it's low latency and downright reliable on good infrastructure. Newer/better technologies may displace older/less capable tech, but that doesn't make the older stuff unusable. I happen to know the space program ran on mostly serial data until the end of the shuttle program - partially because it's "cleaner" than packet based communications and near instantaneous where packeted interfaces have delays built in due to the nature of the technology.
Besides someone with a spear or a bow can kill you just as dead as a guy with a Side-Winder missle even if it is older tech.
The movie theater in my home town has a cry room. I didn't realize it was a rarity until I grew up and moved away - I thought it was an awesome idea. The balcony built for the black folks however - well I prefer modern stadium seating over segregated seating.
Apparently I'm not the only person who didn't like tapping on the screen to turn pages. It's part of the reason I still use the third-gen Kindle.
In fact I rather like my third gen and see a lot of reason to upgrade no matter how awesome they get. Until color e-ink comes out it's just words on a page and my third gen is fine.
I'm going to argue that my more than one intended meaning still stands. The idea of this program was to establish commercial rockets that could be assembled "off the shelf" from commercial manufacturers,like you could build a white box PC in pieces.
In fact the goal was to make "generic standards" so that eventually you could put an Orbital Sciences capsule on a SpaceX rocket while working with a mission specific module from someone else entirely.
Embracing modularity and real interoperable standards (meaning less costs) was the goal of Cots top to bottom. It manifested itself as the goal of building a rocket the way you would build a home entertainment system on one end to being able to use our own brains to fix something instead of following a holy document of assembly to us ground based schmucks.
We generally referred to COTS as "Commercial Off The Shelf".
In the shuttle and before days since it was the early days of computers and digital communications there was a LOT of custom hardware. Most of our networking was serial, and let me tell there was some weird custom equipment floating around. I got Mil-Spec certified in wire-wrap more than a decade after the spec was cancelled.
This was good equipment when it was created for what they wanted it for. Long story short when the shuttle launched a reel to reel flight recorder seemed like a good idea. By the time it quit flying you could do everything that flight recorder did with an iPod, it would be more reliable, hold more, you could put a triple redundant system in far less space and use less power doing it. Due to government red tape and "certification" programs this sort of thing didn't often happen.
When the shuttle was decommissioned the COTS initiative - as we knew it - really began to take off (my first five years there were still COTS, just lesser). It basically meant if you had a monitor go bad on one of our OS/2 systems (really) with a 15" IBM CRT monitor with a particular part number I could instead use any 15" CRT we happened to have laying around in spares, and if I didn't happen to have anything of the sort I could even use some good judgement (maybe requiring an engineer to approve it maybe not, I would ask a shift sup to be sure) even put an LCD with a VGA port on it. Don't something "radical" like that before COTS as we knew it would have caused a QC guy to have a heart attack, which during his time in the hospital recovering he would drain an entire Sam's-Club sized box of G2 pens in the ways he would write us up.
Often acronyms around there had two meanings, the official public one, and the one the people who wrote it actually meant. There were some humorous ones thrown out there on occasion, some of which had entire program names changed when the right person actually figured out what was intended.
I've always been under the impression that if you are "given" those things you're a cultist and not really stronger than when you started. I believe you have to develop those tools for yourself to be truly healthy.
But it still waste "hard" on-board storage. Sure this app isn't THAT big, but you add the main Facebook app, the Fitbit software that was on there for who knows what reason when I bought it, the fact that even apps I use have an "original version" in storage even after I upgrade to a newer one for "uninstall all updates" purposes. Did I mention my phone had a program called "ISIS" when I bought it? I looked at the guy in the AT&T store and said "Really?". He said "yeah, it's renamed after the update". I don't even remember what that was for, but it's gone now too, it wasn't something I needed.
Overkill for just that? Sure. Overkill for the rest? Nope. I even paid the $20 for the sunshine unlock.
I tell my users all the time - Apple people hack their iPhones to put on software Apple doesn't want them to have. Android people root their devices to get rid of software they don't want.
I have the privileged of having two WWII vets as in-laws. I will make certain I ask one in particular (the one who really likes to talk) those questions this summer.
This is one of the worst battery vampires around and they've bribed most U.S. carriers to make sure it's installed on phones in a way that can't be easily removed. Does a forced, can't be uninstalled copy truly count towards that number? It's sort of like dead people voting.

Something like this maybe?

It's true.
It's just that reality has a liberal bias of the proper meaning, not "liberal" in the modern meaning.

Crap like this is why they wanted him out of the way.
