I thought everyone agreed the Japanese internment camps was a dark spot on our history.
They did, but a frightening percentage of the population were bothered that it didn’t go far enough.
Edit: in other words, vastly different reasons why some thought it was a dark spot.
As if MAGAts are sufficiently self-aware to admit they need hearing aids.
You’re focused on the word, “body”, when the one that makes the difference is “on”.
If he had tattoos in his body, it would be ok.
It’s just a bit more difficult to find a tattoo artist who is willing to work on the inside.
Good read.
Demoralizing, but what isn’t today?
This is the fix for that:
Edit:
I had about 13 years between my current PC built in December of 2024 and my previous machine. Back when I built the previous PCs, I would rely on books to research what to get. It’s gotten a lot easier with pcpartpicker.com.
Cue
Asked a user to log into a computer at work. She would have been around 25 or so about 6-7 years ago.
I was stunned watching her turn on caps lock each time she had to type a character in uppercase. I didn’t understand it at all until my mom pointed out she probably always used a phone or a tablet and never learned what the shift key was for.
Still blows my mind because by that point in that user’s education she had probably written hundreds if not thousands of papers to get where she was. I can’t imagine her doing that without using the shift key.
none of them have ever built a computer. They seem to think it’ll be really hard.
Depends on what you’re starting with. If you mean assembling a case, power supply, motherboard, processor, RAM, storage, video adapters, etc., the only difficult part of that is deciding you can do it.
If you’re talking about assembling components on a breadboard, that’s going to be more challenging.
I’ve done both. The breadboard computer was for an electronics class in college. It was both more fun and more pain.
I’m in the middle of Gen X.
I had a class in college that was centered on COBOL.
I certainly wouldn’t need anyone to explain to what it is.
I was out with friends from work and this recipe came up (I added it to our wiki at work under the oncall issues page).
Whenever it is brought up, I have to make it or I never stop thinking about it.
The recipe was handed down from my grandmother through my mother, but we could never get the white cheddar cheese sauce to work right. My wife figured out what we had to do, and now it’s easy.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that they aren’t fashionable if they are ripped to be fashionable.
Ripped jeans are supposed to be the pants that you wore until they started to come apart, and you’re supposed to be wearing them because they are comfortable, not for looks.
Greatest comfort food recipe ever:
Mac, Cheese, Peas, and bacon.
The recipes online are all nonsense. They either mix the bacon in or put it under the mac and cheese!
White cheddar cheese sauce with macaroni. That goes into the casserole dish.
A layer of peas on top of the mac & cheese.
2 pounds of bacon cooked crispy and crumbled on top of the peas. From the top you shouldn’t see anything but bacon.
Put it in the oven and cook it till it starts bubbling.
Last Monday we made sausage and spinach strombolis. 1/2 hot & 1/2 mild Italian sausage, chopped frozen spinach (thawed and drained), mozzarella and parmigiana cheese. Brown the sausage, cool it, mix with the spinach and cheese, wrap individually into single-serving strombolis. Roughly three pounds of sausage makes 12 strombolis.
We’ve been eating them every day since Monday and had the last two yesterday.
I wouldn’t make it every day, but only because a recipe makes 12. However, I wanted to make it again after six days of eating them so I could eat them for another six days.
Daisy is too busy eating to pose, but she at least looked up.
When it works correctly, IT makes it possible to do more with less.
I’ve noticed over the years that IT jobs aren’t the first to disappear when the economy tanks.
There are exceptions, of course. Stupid employers. Ineffective IT people. Sometimes just a shift of focus: if a division goes away, you no longer need the IT staff who supported it
An intelligent employer understands that talented IT people can let them maintain productivity with fewer staff or increase productivity with the same staff.
This is what I use at work:
It’s just a cap that you can put on almost any soda bottle or water bottle.
I keep an old 20 oz soda bottle in my office to use with it.
Great for travel and very discreet.
What is his objection?
Damn, looks like I forgot to sharpen the blade. Eh, just keep raising it and dropping it. It will get through eventually.
They probably check to make sure you’re running a current version of Windows. The code assumes if you’re not on Windows 11, then you need to upgrade.
