It was the first commercial version, from the NT line that was user-friendly and capable enough for home users. Prior to that, it was difficult to get games to run on the NT line and permissions were more complicated than most home users wanted to deal with. After that, they were essentially the same product line.

Typical Microsoft. “Let the user decide when their computer wakes up? Nah, they let us decide what’s important or it stays asleep.”

Imagine being able to kill a coworker you don’t like and someone else goes to jail for it. I’m not saying the cop who pulled the trigger did it on purpose, but this is literally precedent if you wanted to.

Your inhibitions are also, to a degree, part of what make you who you want to be. Not excusing him, certainly not defending him, but sometimes a little inhibition is a good thing.

This is what kills me about people complaining about inheritance tax. Oh, you’re worried you’ll only be able to give each child $15M? Plus $19k/year before you die? I wish my kids had to struggle with only $15M when I die.

All good.

Yeah, common usage in English “what a coincidence” often means “I don’t think it was a coincidence.” Don’t be surprised if people take it less than literally.

I think it would be so funny if someone spray painted pieces of shit (real or fake) and distributed them, possibly for throwing, at one of his events. He’s so fixated on gold crap, I don’t think he’d be able to ignore it.

There was a more general flipping off of the constituents in canada in the 80s. The Trudeau Salute.

As someone of German heritage I’m a little offended that you’re bringing that into it. Neither Hitler nor Trump did what they did because they’re German. The potential to be shitty is part of everyone.

Bad coincidence, though.

I think people at any age need to be given room to grow.

Yeah, I don’t have any horse in this race, any more than the average person should, and I haven’t put any effort into seeing who’s made the choice to have kids with Elon, so this is everything I know about her, but that certainly sounds like a well thought out, heartfelt apology, with no equivocation. People need to be given room to grow if the world is going to get any better, even in a shitty time like this.

She can own she made a mistake like any fully functioning adult would.

“I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain,” St. Clair wrote, referencing Musk’s daughter Vivian Wilson, who is trans. “Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”

Isn’t that exactly what she did?

I had the misfortune of renting a couple cars recently.

As a renter Toyota still required me to set up an account to do anything besides basically radio on the central console. Certainly no maps or phone connections.

Ford gave full functionality, but would block one of the info screens if the seat belt was unbuckled, even if you were parked. Want to see your average efficiency at the end of a trip? Make sure your buckled in for that info. Make sure your passengers are, too. This vehicle didn’t seem to have a built-in map, which seems dumb, but the phone could be connected and I suppose android auto would pass the info across. I didn’t need the functionality that much, and after a couple days the phone connection went crazy and started connecting and disconnecting so I removed my phone from the list.

Neither car was impressing me too much on the entertainment functionality and if it was my vehicle I may have put in the effort to resolve these, but not for something I was only using for a few days. From the performance side, I was happier with the Toyota Corolla. Part of that is I prefer sedans and the free upgrade to the Ford Escape wasn’t something I really wanted (not the poorer fuel efficiency, either).

So yeah, Ford sucks.

I thought it was cold soup!

There goes 2 hours I had absolutely no intention of spending there.

…truly…

It’s time for other states to look at it, for groups in those states to use Alaska and Maine as working examples of the benefits, and for Alaska and Maine to start working on an Amendment to change how the president is elected.

But none of that changes the fact that how or if you vote for president will have any bearing on the voting system or cause it to change.

This is probably something that would have to be fixed at the state level before going federal. Either way, until FPTP is replaced, pretending that isn’t the system in place isn’t going to change it.

Worked in Canada…
