My wife’s heart medication, which is not a daily thing, only on demand, is staggering without insurance. Her kids in the Philippines send it to her for $10.

Since the Big Beautiful Bill killed my Obamacare, I stopped going to the doctor. Starting to build up some problems but my wife just got “promoted” off the temp company and the insurance isn’t much more for both of us than only her.

And where can this sentiment be found?

South is your best light in the Northern Hemisphere, you sure don’t want to cut that off.

He can’t. The strict command and control structure between POTUS and launch keys will break down, just as it did with 3 or 4 events during the Cold War.

Back in the day, 100K was a piece of shit, no one would touch it. Powertrain warranties were 36K. Cars are amazing these days, but I loathe the maintenance.

What do you get when your search “terminal”? My home rig defaults to PowerShell, but I likely changed something years ago.

I’m a Windows sysadmin, this is the exact explanation. The only other thing, and this is going way out on a limb, is that terminal was installed through the Windows Store and something related is busted. I’ve never even heard of a company utilizing the Store for installations.

I don’t get it. How does a federal investigation stop a state or local investigation? Murder is a state crime, not federal, and no state lines were crossed. Why cannot the Minneapolis police simply arrest this fascist?

Zuck must have taken the lizard man jibes to heart. At some point he completely changed his image. Bet money he was coached and practiced smiling in the mirror, not even being funny.

Nah. The US has been scheming on Venezuela for better than two decades. The powers behind the throne manipulated Trump into thinking it was his idea.

Didn’t think I had that on a PC browser! For everyone missing it like I did, it’s under your main settings.

Oh god, dad was raging about my little boxer and his giant Doberman being assholes one day, “I’ll take the little one and beat the big one with her!”

Still laughing about that 25-years later. Thanks for bringing that up!

EDIT: Just dropped my kids back to their mom, but this quote would work perfectly with the 10-yo and 12-yo…

Read the post and am seriously afraid my kids are too scared. 😬 I’d rather the “I hate you” once than that. OTOH, while not the greatest parents, I hope my ex and I somehow made sure that sort of talk was verboten.

I’m burning 10 of 32GB basically idling. Windows caches ALL the things. If I need those extra gigs, I could still use them.

NW Florida. If I find a rock, it’s either a chunk of concrete or imported from elsewhere. Glaciers didn’t make it here. :(

We are the same age and I had my first analog wristwatch in 1st grade. When my niece was 4 in '86 or so I taught her to read a clock. Weird world, guess it’s not all about age.

That’s a choice to be stupid. When I was a child I was frustrated as hell I couldn’t read the signs Bugs Bunny held up, so I was chomping at the bit to learn. And these kids see “circle clocks” and just figure, “Meh. Guess it will always be a mystery.”

The direction and quality of light makes it clear as well. OTOH, I’ve found people who can’t tell which side of their house the sun rises and sets on.

My 12-yo was never taught cursive, and it turns out her general reading of print is lagging, but she read handwritten cursive last night well enough.
