I installed it and didn't like it. I probably need to give it a better shake down.

From what I understand it's a bit hard-core, which isn't always as much fun as it sounds. My current PC won't run it - I'm upgrading soon....

Great example of a growth vs fixed mindset.

Now there's a job that's worse than mine. I hope he has a good pension.

WW3 has started, it just looks different

That's because Safety is my middle name.

More than one version, I guess. Here's the one I found:

I got my AirTags and found them underwhelming.

D4 and D3 have them. On keyring and purses.

They love 'em.

You’ll notice how the assailant is described in the report as “an unhinged man” and “a man in an orange hoodie.” (And this is the New York Post we’re talking about. They’re normally less squeamish.) In the CBS video report, he is similarly described as “a man” and “the suspect.”

Is it just my imagination, or when some random white guy attacks or shoots someone and the victim is a person of color, the races of those involved are blasted in the first sentence of the report and then repeated ad nauseam throughout the article or news clip?

It's just your imagination. There are two sides to the media, the right-leaning media does exactly the opposite and exactly as badly. Also you're a racist.

You get the politicians you deserve...

@copper said in Two tales of restaurant jobs...:

Since the European students won't be taking those jobs, maybe the restaurants can import anti-vaxxers to take the jobs.

Not to mention that there is a shortage of literally everything right now. There was a stop and a start and the supply chain is whacked.

People are fools if they think the pandemic has caused our population to significantly re-evaluate their life’s purpose and meaning. I’ve been laughing for a few months now even as so called evidence has come in. Fleeting thoughts pass like farts in the wind. Journalists respond to the moment blind to human nature.

The tragedy is that we all knew this years ago. The media didn’t take interest because the wrong party pointed it out.

Now that Biden has made criticizing China safe and fashionable again, we get articles like this. So I love the article but it is not a revelation. Still I hope we continue down this path.

We use our oven pretty much exclusively in convection mode. The frozen fries work fine.

Hopeing to get the new iMac maybe later this year.

Same here.

I think the 24" would be adequate for my needs, but I drool at the potential of a 30" or 32" inch machine.

My current 2014 27" machine is working just fine, but at the end of the year, it'll be 7 years old, and since I can afford it, I'm thinking an upgrade would be something I'd give a long, hard look at.

+1 My thinking exactly!!! (Great minds think alike, or idiots runs in twos!!! 555) 👩‍❤️‍👨

@klaus said in WaPo factchecker: "Nazis were not socialists":

The NSDAP was very "socialist" in the 1920s; in the 1930s the focus shifted more towards nationalism. But in any case, the name "national socialist party" was apt.

Is there a way in which more nationalism implies less socialism?

Yes. A party cannot have an arbitrary number of main goals. If you focus on exterminating Jews, less resources remain to focus on exterminating capitalism.

We keep telling you establishing a new platform ain't that easy, but you don't listen...

How many people actually know his name? 3? Including his parents?
