Just here for the facts
We are a big country and Florida Keys to Maine is about 1800 miles, Wilmington NC to Barstow CA is about 2500 miles
Seems like up and down should count too sometimes. But we need a better word than across, especially if it can’t be safely driven in a single day by a single driver without stopping to sleep.
(San Fran to SeaTac is about 800 miles)
Thank you! I understand now.
I don’t know how it works there. Was Pierre running in two races?
Would there have a special election for this seat if he had won both?
What are the odds he loses support and goes quiet after losing both, especially his backup incumbent election? (Knowing hard losses used to discourage people, but not always now)
I don’t have pics, but after my two were fixed, I had borrowed one of these crates to keep them in for a few hours while they recovered fully from the anesthesia.
One was loopy and just wanted to nap. The other was loopy and in bat mode like the one in this pic. I was afraid bat cat would pop her stitches or fall on her sister.
We ended up carrying bat cat in our arms until the drugs wore off while nap cat slept it off.
Yes, all the time. What if something unwanted goes into my mouth while it’s undefended?
To make up for the Cats movie not having them?
because I’m sometimes too literal, you mean a surveillance bug, not an insect bug?
She should dump him and get an EU man
For the better citizenship opportunities…
I’m pretty sure all personal data leaks to me and my friends and family have nothing to do with personal EOL OS on personal PCs/laptops.
My Dad, ran Windows 7 (yes, 7) until he passed last year, almost 80. We had his credit locked down, we had antivirus running, we kept the browsers up to date, and he was very good about not clicking weird links or calling fake support numbers.
His biggest data breach (and ours too)? Was from myChart a couple years ago, he got a letter that his data was part of the big hack, yada yada yada free credit reporting - so sorry. If you don’t know, myChart is like The Main medical everything portal in the US at least for most doctors and hospital systems. So all your test results, making appointments, sending messages, requesting Rx refills, all through myChart’s website. The hospitals and doctors using MyChart can see pretty much everything in your myChart health record (some exceptions)
So using super secure OS on your personal computer means nothing when you are part of a hundreds of millions data dump from someone hacking into that. Not having an account just means you don’t have access to your own records, they are still part of the system.
But Yes, I was in the process of getting Dad an upgrade to a flavor of Linux that would be the closest to what he was used to. And the only reason was because browser support was coming to EOL for Windows 7. He really didn’t want to change or lose his solitaire games and he deserved a stress-free life to play his damn games like he wanted.
THAT SAID - if businesses are using EOL OS and getting hacked - they definitely need to do whatever they need to do and protect their customer data. But EOL OS for an average person checking email, making doctor’s appointments, checking headlines, and playing solitaire while streaming music certainly doesn’t call for a need to panic.
IF you are a power user doing sometimes sketch things (according to Apple/MS anyway) probably switch to Linux sooner than later.
We have computers running Linux, Windows 10 (one of which was on 8.1 until a year ago), and Windows 11 in our house. The one on 11 is being tested basically, and will probably be reinstalled with Linux. But we are trying to give it a shot.
What’s really to keep states with ports from just taking over Customs, especially with doge firing and closing federal agencies? If the states control their ports they control what gets tagged for tariffs, or am I wrong?
No shit, Kim K would be an improvement over 99% of the current pics.
No, cause then Mike Johnson. And he is definitely gonna rename it to Gulf of Gilead.
Does anyone know how long it takes asset seizures to be processed in the UK?
Thank you for the reference, I scrolled to the bottom to check if you were copypasta-ing us before going back and reading it. We just all live in Crazytown now I guess.
Do you have some links to the California cases? Not doubting you, just curious about the details you came across.
The actual city sends a fine. If you don’t clean it, they send a crew. If you don’t pay for the crew, they lien the property.
Source: got letter from the city a week ago.
In fairness, I’ve been dealing with a lot and there were some areas that looked like we were abandoned. I’ve been meaning to clean out the unwanted stuff so the flowers can grow. My lawn is mostly moss and clover and that’s not what they cared about.
When we traveled out of the country for the 1st admin, we got treated with suspicion until we said truthfully we voted for the Democratic Party options.
To be clear: People were great until they (usually) guessed we were Canadian, then we’d get side-eye when they found out we weren’t.
The difference in land border crossing experience into Canada got more overall hostile the further into 2018-19.
We haven’t traveled like that since Covid. But I imagine voicing your distaste for fascism is required in polite circles now. Saying you voted Kamala and for the Dems is a good short-hand, even if you recognize they aren’t anywhere close to Perfect-Good.
I remember a story at the beginning of the Arab Spring. A student journalist tweeted, “Arrested” to his few followers and it went viral. https://mashable.com/archive/twitter-get-out-of-jail
What are the ads for? Who’s paying for them? Is NY and fed buying these ads? Or a PAC? Or someone selling insurance?
