    Glad someone has been lucky. I'm in my 50s too. I've had two jobs that tried really hard to kill me via stress. The first time I was all of 30 and it nearly did just that with VERY high BP.

    Why do you think he's an idiot, or is this a commentary on the stupid people trying to force women into things they have no interest in going into so they feel better.

    Bottom line is they call it work for a reason. Longer you are in a field the more you are expected to know and be able to do, and do.

  5. Re:Protecting its own interests on A Global Fish War is Coming, Warns US Coast Guard (usni.org) · · Score: 1

    It's not the US. There are 80 million people born every year right now. Just think about that a moment. In 10 years, that's probably more like a billion more. The US on its own is de-populating just like other industrialized countries - like Japan especially. Europe is in big trouble too. So let's leave the whole abortion BS out of this. While I support abortion, that's not the answer for the US. We're only 350 million total. They would replace every one of us in just 6 months.

    I have a feeling the only thing that can help the world from such an increase of population unfortunately is explosives and war. 80 million is just such a big frickin' number. We are over populated.

    I'm sorry. The thought I was trying to convey wasn't captured in your comprehension. I'm sure it's my fault.

    What I was trying to say is would you care if a commodity company - call it company A uses the proceeds from your purchase to put you out of work or perhaps even kill you, or would you buy commodity from Company B that isn't trying to kill you? I wanted to bring that thought out because that is what is going on in the world today. Some companies that are household names are backed by some truly evil people. For instance, Mr. George Soros. Look him up, on youtube with his 2020 interview. He'll tell you himself that some of the best years of his life was when he was a Nazi. He has done some good things, it seems. He has also done some downright despicable, terrible things. Things that if those countries were to get a hold of him, well I wouldn't want to be him. His defense was - well don't let a guy like me do things like that. He's right, it was legal. Clearly not moral and he admitted it.

    She was returning. She wasn't part of the "right" navy, however so they didn't care that she was missing which is why so many were lost. The whole way it was handled was wrong. Of course the Navy brought in the guy that sunk the ship to help convict the Captain in his court martial. Didn't matter what he did, that Jap captain would have had him. Text book shot.

    We have an authentic genuine nazi, George Soros. The internet doesn't seem to care. He'll even tell you that the best years of his life was when he was with the nazis. Just check out his 20/20 interview, he says that. We don't need to look at Confederates, we have an actual living scumbag right there. However it seems he has a lot to do with their funding.

    I'd be totally fine with 200 mile range. I could easily get to work, do something after work and make it home. Even if I get caught in an accident traffic. I bet most people are within 40 miles of work anyhow. If they're more than 40 miles, they should consider relocating.

  10. The Democratic party. What other group has attracted hate groups of all kinds like they have? Gays that hate non gays, blacks that hate whites, illegals that hate law abiding citizens, and so on and so forth. Overall, they hate America and they'll tell you that. Often openly.

  11. This is called paying your dues. I think all of us delete stuff we didn't mean to. If you're lucky like I was, there's a backup. I've lost some stuff over the decades due to bad hardware, however not much. Stuff I didn't really care about anyway. However I've paid my dues plenty of times.

    Learn from this. Set up your whole life like this. Whatever you do, can bad things happen? Do I need insurance? Do I need better insurance? Can I prevent something bad from happening?

    USB drives are dirt cheap. Buy some. Back up your stuff to them. Switch them out and put it in a safe place. Like a commercial grade safe like I do or even better off site. This time you lost some code. Next time it could be a million in bitcoin or something. Think ahead.

    This is what they do, come in, rile up people and overthrow the government and then we can be like Cuba or Venezuela. Kiss everything you have goodbye. No more property rights, no more anything really. Rename things, blow them up, remove them, etc. We have our own little isis people doing the same thing we see in the middle east.

    There is fake news - news that is very intentionally done and then there is news that happens to be wrong even though they had reason to think they were right at the time. There is also what they call spin, from the 1980s. Spin was supposed to be where the article leaned right or left. Leaned, not change and make up crap so they are totally one sided to the point they don't even report stuff unless it somehow damages Trump or Republicans.

    Take the classic Time article about the MLK bust. It's Trump's office, why couldn't he remove it? Why would that be news? It was published intentionally because they couldn't wait to try to paint him as a racist. Anything. If you do that, you'd better be right. No, it wasn't in exactly the same spot it was before, so let's not even attempt to look 5' either way. It was literally 5' from where it was. So they published it. Then when someone told him - you fool, it's still there they retracted it, as if anyone would even see that and they know it. Even so, maybe he wasn't really malicious. Just wanted to scoop someone else. At least they did a retraction.

    With the Russian collusion bit, we know that's bullshit because project veritas has a video of CNN admitting they know it's bullshit.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
    So no doubt about it, it's fake, they know it's bullshit and they keep pushing this narrative on us anyway.

    Fox, Breitbart, not sure about infowars... they don't do that. BTW, Time and time again later Trump was shown to be mostly right in what he said. He's the first non politician in the WH since Eisenhower. Eisenhower was great. One of the best.

    I remember the good old days when they reported the news mostly. If a reporter had an opinion, they said it was his opinion. I'm worried that we're going to lose this country and what will replace it will be a lot more like slavery. It certainly won't be anything like as good as it is now. Never is. Anywhere in the world where the left pushes this stuff. There will always be poor, there will always be rich. In the US system, any one of us could be a rich guy. Even you, even myself. I'm a guy that wasn't born into money. Today I have all kinds of assets, including a private plane. I fly it around the country. In other systems - only a very few. If you aren't in that click, forgetaboutit. Today I'd still be nothing if I were born in Cuba instead of the US. I was born post Castro takeover. I probably wouldn't even be alive. If I were, I'd be living a miserable life down there. That's what awaits us if we don't realize what's happening.
