Powershell works really well on other OSs now. I use it on MacOS and Linux daily. I might loath MS but Powershell is a fantastic shell and after working with an object-oriented shell I hate going back to anything else.

The tariffs are essentially an unpredictable tax on consumers and companies. Mostly it’ll be the consumers but if companies are effectively bullied into eating some of the tax and reducing their profits, it’s a corporate tax on them. Of course the GOP says it’s completely against new taxes on anyone and especially corporate profits, but that’s what the tariffs are. Being unpredictable and changing due to bullying or political influence - or lack thereof - is much worse for the markets in general.

Interesting… thanks for the reply!

So did you just cancel the HBO max subscription in YouTubeTV, or did you cancel YouTubeTV altogether?

If 3 terrorists take over a bank with 50 hostages - including children - inside, do you just bomb the bank and call it a day? No, because we don’t kill the innocents indiscriminately to eliminate the terrorists.

Israel is not only murdering innocent people, including children, indiscriminately, they’ve murdered journalists and aid workers intentionally who are reporting on their behavior and we have memos showing starvation, displacing the innocent civilians and taking control of their land is part of the plan.

According to the article she supported Harris and donated $700,000 to her campaign and other PACs trying to get her elected. She’s doing more positive than most billionaires, that’s for sure.

I mean it wasn’t random. They came here, no one was present and they claimed it. And many were ok with sharing a bit when Europeans first arrived. The Europeans were the ones consistently ignoring their right of ownership and their right to exist.

Your immuno-compromised kid or spouse - who can’t get a vaccine - may die as a result too.

This isn’t a discussion about where the virus comes from, and debating its source is entirely different than debating the science of effective treatment and vaccines. Promoting unproven horse ointments while speaking lies about proven treatments kills people.

Even if their kids die as a result?

I’d put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.

Time Machine is just backup software isn’t it? It’s not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?

I knew there was a reason I love 'em so much!

I don’t doubt the possibility but that’s not the situation here and now with defending Ukraine.

Except he’s not funding a war, he’s funding the defense of a nation fighting for freedom and its right to exist.

Ukraine didn’t get in this war as a pissing match with Russia. It was wrongly attacked and is a democracy defending itself. It’s had its children kidnapped and its civilians targeted. It will cease to exist if it loses. We don’t have a greedy capitalist funding an unjust war for profit as you’re trying to suggest. Helping Ukraine is the right thing to do. Refusing to help them will simply result in Europe fighting a better-resourced Russia later.

I don’t have it but one of my kids does. She sees colors with certain numbers and letters. Certainly doesn’t seem to have a downside for her and in my reading I haven’t heard of a sensory overload issue. Is this strictly related to the synesthesia or perhaps synethesia exaggerating an existing autistic or ADHD issue?

Your description of hearing shapes and colors sounds a lot like someone with synesthesia, a rare condition that’s seems to have no downsides and only benefits.

First, this post is about social security disability insurance, SSDI, not social security retirement benefits. The disability fund is paid into by current workers to pay the benefits of currently disabled people, which may or may not have worked previously. Someone born disabled receives benefits as an adult even if they’ve never contributed.

Second, your statement isn’t valid for SS retirement benefits either. Current SS taxes pay the benefits of current SS recipients. The taxes have never been saved to pay for future benefits. The more you pay in the more credits you receive for your future benefits, but nothing is actually saved on your behalf. If benefits are reduced, it’s not your saved money you’re being denied… it’s a promise being denied.

She’s 27 recently married to a 59 year old real estate mogul. It’s true love.

That summary may also explain why some men are so insecure about women earning more money than them too.
