    I voted for his dad in the last poll. I think that's why they cancelled it this year.

    If they have Krystal Burgers near you try their new fries. I was shocked at how good they are.

    Hold on to your seat, but I actually heard CBS news play a comment about how a partisan commission accomplishes little in real change.

    If you see a liberal around, don't even think about saying boys are different from girls.

    @mik said in Bill Gates was literally losing sleep over Java: In his defense software engineering did not exist in any significant form until long after he was established. [image: 1641483515654-87698c3b-8b21-4ab5-8984-08957bc9fe36-image.png] https://www.scrummanager.net/files/nato1968e.pdf I'd argue that, from a modern SE perspective, Thompson and Ritchie did a far better job with Unix in the 1970s. What Gates did right, and what Bell Labs et al underestimated: He made an operating system that worked on small, cheap computers (MS-DOS) and he had the right timing for graphical user interfaces (Windows 3/3.1). But the architecture of these operating systems has always been a big mess.

    Good to know. We actually like the Kirkland (costco) marinara sauce but they were out last time so we picked up some Rao’s. Haven’t tried it yet but looking forward to it.

    The lack of preparation for the current situation over the last year is appalling. The government has been shit, and to be honest I think the general population has been pretty shit, too.

    @george-k said in The Resident Needs More Downtime: He’s too tired to golf. TBH, I'm too tired to care. Next time, can you try electing somebody less shit? No, not him.

    From my view, the US politics have always been like a pendulum. If it starts to swing too far to either the right side or the left side, the next election back towards the center. I think that this is one of the strengths and beauty of the US political system.

    @george-k said in Captain Amy: Are there other sailors who are just as qualified? A. She only got the job because of her gender B. There have been thousands of women qualified for this, but misogynists held them back. C. "I don't see a woman, I just see a Captain." Will Stockdale
