  • NPR was just discussing this a few minutes ago.

    The Democrats put the majority of their push behind abortion thinking that would be the turn out vote and it didn’t seem to be.

    More people voted for Trump because of the economy based on exit polling and (surprisingly) more women voted for him this time as well.

    There was also more votes coming from younger people who hadn’t been through a recession before and were just basically voting ‘opposite party’ because they were tired of their money going nowhere. The voting trend was something that had been seen in several other countries recently.

    Yeah this doesn’t do squat to prove or disprove anything to these nutters.

    I’ve done the same with a variety of other things and you will get told the same thing:

    God put it here.

    Thing is you cannot argue with the above statement because it falls into that sort of argument you used to have when you were a child when the other kid would say ‘Nyah! Last word!!’ or ‘I can’t hear you!!’




  • There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.

    My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…

    I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don’t recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.




  • The US government now uses it to charge people indiscriminately. I see the term in my local headlines once a month, at least, where someone gets tagged with this BS charge.

    As one person said I used to think ‘dear God they must have a nuke in the basement’ but anymore you find out the person just had a sawed off shotgun or possibly the parts for a homemade silencer and a prosecutor got an instant hard on.





  • We had a new intern with zero social skills at my company a few years ago. He reminded me of a much younger version of Milton from Office Space.

    Well, when he would go to the bathroom, either the single occupant ones or even ones that had multiple stalls: If it was occupied he would stand outside the door (or even a stall) like an inch away from it not moving just frozen waiting for the person to leave.

    Was the craziest thing anyone had ever seen.
