50,000?!

I only saw news about the Tripoli and Boxer which combined carry about 5,000 marines.

The Republicans have distilled their hatred to be only for “biological sex” and included a specific exemption for that in the text of the bill.

There are bananas that are dark red to dark purple, those varieties barely get imported to the US. For some reason the import market is 1-variety-of-bananas-at-a-time-until-it-goes-extinct.

Is this really what science education has come to? Everybody knows it’s turtles all the way down.

Didn’t work. Application doesn’t even need compatibility mode to run. Running the app copied by someone else from their previous Windows 10 computer sorta works but didn’t find files installed to system directories. Windows 11 just deliberately refuses to execute the installer probably based on recognizing the old family of installer programs specifically.

The users wanted a new Linux laptop. I installed LMDE, showed them how to run the installer with wine. It made a menu item. Drag and drop from whatever the cinnamon file manager is doesn’t work, and there was no file association to open the program’s files. I added one that just opens them with wine and lets it figure it out. I also showed them where their wine c drive was.

After a few weeks they wanted to print to pdf as well as their printer from wine and I had them install cups-pdf

Oh, it should work and it will if you put all the files in the right places yourself by say installing it on wine and copying the changes to the wine system directories over, but starting in Windows 11 running the installer gets a deliberate “this program isn’t meant for this version of Windows” error.

Windows 11 won’t install those 25 year old programs anymore. Wine will.

Windows 11 might be usable if it gets a wine port so it can run windows apps.

Why is an ICE agent filming with a cell phone?

White men are already a minority. The only way they can imagine that white men “hold a collective majority” is if they imagine that White men hold other people (like White women or their non-White subordinates).

He was already in a bunch of published stuff. I think he’s in one of the court complaints and the long released flight logs.

Mark Esptein said it isn’t Clinton but didn’t say who or what “Bubba” is.

Making things up doesn’t help anybody. If you remembered the source of the allegation you could have just gone and checked.

The “pee tapes”

I have a sudden horrible feeling that “Bubba” was a dog.

Certainly less than a full 4.

Compensation is inversely proportional to productivity.

You’d have to be an American to think that the next thing to happen to those drives involved anything other than an axe.

The Sanctity of Life

Yeah, it’s an old story. What’s new is they’ve started excavating it.
