Yeah, Reagan was always talking about small government, and then he blew up the deficit with unchecked spending. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All countries spy on each other.

I definitely agree about being more worried about the US spying than China though.

I’m too old for either but I think Billie Eilish is a bit more substantial?

We got a bigger car than I would like because my stepdaughter decided that she wanted to be a hockey goalie. 🙈

I lived in Amsterdam for 10 years and only got a car when I married someone who lived in the suburbs. Well, actually I still don’t own a car but I can borrow one as needed!

It might still be the best place to work in Cincinnati, in spite of the horror stories. 😉

Zelensky was the proximate cause of Trump’s first impeachment, right? The perfect phone call?

I need you to do is a favor, though.

I think that Trump does have a grudge against Zelensky.

I mean, the US escorted ships there during the Iran/Iraq war in the 1980s…

I found macOS difficult to use.

For example, while you can have multiple desktops, each application lives on one of them. So collecting a browser and some terminals on a desktop and then having a different desktop with a browser for another purpose doesn’t work.

There are a dozen examples of this, but in the end If your workflow doesn’t match the Apple way, then you are out of luck on macOS. It’s kind of the opposite of KDE. 😆

Red Hat is not really meant for the desktop.

IBM, which owns Red Hat, uses Fedora for the Linux desktop for engineers who want Linux.

One alert daily reporting that there are no alerts is probably good for a home lab…

Experts aren’t yet sure why colorectal cancer has risen in younger people, but Siegel said it’s an example of the “birth cohort effect”. That people born after the 1950s face heightened risk “tells us that there was some exposure, some risk factor that was introduced in the middle of the 20th century that’s increasing our risk of this disease”, Siegel said, “and it’s increasing the risk more and more with every subsequent generation.”

This blood thirsty guy doesn’t care about murdering people, but cares about photos that are not flattering enough? Jesus Christ.

So Iran is perfectly rational in trying to build nuclear weapons.

“We have a plan that I think is going to be fantastic. It’s going to be released fairly soon.”
- Trump discussing his health care plan in 2017

I joined the Democratic Party in 2016 so I could vote for Bernie Sanders in the primary. I’m still waiting for the day I showed up and cast my vote for! 😅

AMA only attempts to solve half of the problem with medical care in the US. Before it access to medical care was gated through insurance and many people (especially children, who are worthless in the capitalist system) were uninsured and therefore had no access to medical care.

Providing access as Obamacare does kind of works, but only by making a Faustian bargain with insurance companies: they are given carte blanche to extract wealth from the population bad and only have to provide the barest fig leaf of medical care.

So…the ACA is bad, but better than what came before.

Feminists believe women have the same rights as men. What redefinition are you talking about? 🤔

I thought the idea was that I’m the USA you have the right to face your accuser in a court of law. If a citation is issued automatically, who is your accuser? (I AM NOT DEFENDING THIS POSITION.)
