I can’t see any problems with that. They certainly wouldn’t murder the cleaning staff at Mar-a-Lago for being Latino.

If Google takes money to host an ad that’s malware, they should be able to be prosecuted for it.
This is different than simply hosting community content that they can’t reasonably moderate. They’re being given money to distribute these ads, so they can afford to moderate them.
Which should be easy anyway. Ads shouldn’t be able to install third-party shit from the advertisers on user computers. Google can easily restrict what can be included on an ad package.
I’m torn. This is a bad look, but when my Mom ran for council we had the list too because we wanted to collect the signs afterwards. They’re most of the cost of a local election campaign.
Oh, they are. He’s got a pretty serious security team that doesn’t fuck around.
A lord/servant relationship is still a relationship.
I don’t want a relationship with my tools.
If my PC starts running slow I’ll tear the fucker item and start replacing shit. If the OS displeases me I’ll start disabling parts. If software starts interrupting me when I’m not actively using it I change its permissions so it can only do what I tell it.
I’m not gonna give my butler a lobotomy to make him more obedient, swap the Footmen’s hands out for serving platters, or kneecap the scullery maid so she can’t leave the kitchen.
If my phone dies, it gets scrapped and I replace it without shedding a tear. I can’t say the same for a loyal Valet.
They tried to nickel and dime me on a $4000/yr product, but I’m just giving them the nickel.
I will give ESRI credit for their online stuff. It’s expensive, but it’s also pretty great. We’re actually thinking about getting an online subscription but no software licenses.
I didn’t discover it this uear, but I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.
Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn’t budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.
Anyway, I’ve gotten pretty good with QGIS, and we’re sticking with it. It does everything I need it to do, and I can still pull stuff from most REST servers.
If they were shoved in the mailbox without postage it’s definitely illegal.
I have a mini cargo van as my everyday car that can move quite a bit of cargo, but I also bottom out if I go on a road that’s too bumpy.
The family truck has the clearance to go off the pavement.
Interestingly, the most dangerous thing to have around children is a pool.
Drowning is the number 1 cause of death for children ages 1-4 in the US and still asking the leading causes of death all through childhood. Most of those deaths are in pools.
8 percent of houses have pools, whereas 40 percent have guns.
Imagine that you’re standing on a train and have a baseball. If you throw the ball off the train, the ball will still have momentum in the direction of the train’s movement.
If you want to throw the ball to a friend the train just passed, you have to be able to throw the ball faster than the train is moving or it will never reach them.
Watch Bernie if you want to see Black do a different take. His character is quirky, but there’s a lot of depth to him as well.
I do wish we got to see Black use a little more of his range because he can deliver a nuanced comedic character too.
I really, really liked his performance in Bernie. He was silly, but there was also a simultaneous depression, fear, and darkness in his performance.
She used to be a Country Music darling, and a lot of right-wing Country people still feel like they own her like back when they had her as an underage sex symbol.
It’s actually 5.75% annually.
6.25% would compund to 27.4% over 4 years.
Nope. I’m not acting on any information that can’t be pulled in an Open Records Request after I leave the city.
It’s the only EV pickup than can be reliably charged right now. The one truly remarkable, excellent thing Tesla has done is put together an awesome, connected charging network. We’ve had a plug-in hybrid Ford for a decade, and the vast majority of compatible chargers we’ve run across have been broken.
With the other big manufacturers changing to the Tesla plug in the coming years, I expect things like the F-150 Lightning to perform much better.
I’m a government official, and my work cell is like that.
I don’t respond to texts on that number because text messaging isn’t a proper channel for official communication.
Yep.
Give a rich man a dollar and all you’ve done societally is remove a dollar from the economy. If you instead make him give that money to his employees things change, but cause poor people actually need money and will spend it.
You give a poor person that dollar through increased minimum wage and they spend it at a business. That business now makes more money, which is passed on to its employees through the increased minimum wage, and they spend that dollar again.
And again.
And again.
That dollar you took from the rich and gave to the poor drove a lot more than a dollar’s economic activity.
OH - and it’s also taxed every time it changes hands, so it also brings in more than its initial value in tax revenue.
