Yes, and I live north of the Canadian border. They seem to think Trump is a viable alternative to Trudeau.

I find it mildly humorous and somewhat depressing that I saw the headline and couldn’t tell if it was about the US election or white supremacy.

Ah; not humble is different than being able to take criticism.

I tend to see more of a parallel between people who can take criticism and those who can forgive others. There’s heavy overlap with humility, but the Venn circles are still not merged.

Depends. Usually it applies to the campaign. Sometimes it applies to the company. Sometimes it just gets you flagged as a responsive human.

Blocking numbers is only useful against actual consumer numbers where there’s a real person with a SIM card on the other end.

Bulk calls/texts use number pools, and those pools don’t tend to be reused after a campaign; they’re just rented out to someone else.

Back in 2016 I was driving along a highway just after a wildfire had swept through the area; was one of the first cars let through.

We had to slow to a crawl because sections of the highway had melted away. Some closed off sections were still bubbling.

Some fence posts at the side of the highway were burned away at the bottom but still present at the top, held up by the fence wire.

Crews were at the side of the road with picks, shovels and rototillers extinguishing the last of the flames, while dark smoke still rose as far as the eye could see before and behind that stretch of highway.

That fire was caused by a stray cigarette. The result was apocalyptic.

It’s missing my clique… BSD Fans.

We already knew he was planning to remove democracy. I’m hoping that his call to vote will get all the liberal Christians to vote too, specifically to prevent him from eliminating democracy.

Lots of ‘em. You just hear from the ones who like to call attention to themselves.

Does he realize the sheer volume of liberal Christians out there?

Everything I’d want replaced by my insurance goes in a LibreOffice spreadsheet.

Never needed to file a claim using it, but it doubles as the place where I record warranty expiration dates, which has come in handy a few times.

It’s also been useful when buying replacements to see how much I paid in the past.

He wasn’t actually left handed!

Depends on who you are.

If I wanted to, I could probably get an article about me on there within about a week — I know some editors, and have third party documentation of me on the Internet going back over 30 years. So I’d just have to ask someone to do a writeup, pointing to the notable things I’ve done.

However, I prefer anonymity so it’s unlikely I’d do that.

All it would take is one notable contribution to popular culture to get yourself added.

Easiest way to start if you’re an absolute Internet Nobody would be to get yourself written up by a local newspaper. Then do a bit of SEO so that popular online sites link to things about you and what you’ve done. Then get a few other people to start asking Wikipedia editors why they can’t find out anything about you on Wikipedia when you’re all over the Internet.

I didn’t realize that… songs from the 80s, or newer content?

You know… the other instances no longer have feat.

I just came here to say stuffit.

No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

Wow… I didn’t realize he was still mobile! He left Greenpeace a LONG time ago.

The Bible contains two summaries of the ten commandments. Unsurprisingly, what Louisiana wants to put up on a poster is not a literal translation of either of them. Catholics tend to use an interpretation that doesn’t include “no graven images.”

Two tellings of the Ten Commandments in the Bible are Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:1-21.

Note that there’s stuff in there for many Catholics to be unhappy about (carved images, taking the lord’s name in vain) and many protestants (telling children about adultery, observing the sabbath, not coveting, not bearing false witness).

But those commandments are a small part of the Jewish Mosaic law; Christians are supposed to override that with “love God” and “love the people around you, even those who your social clique shuns” along with “it’s not enough to not do the commandments; if you catch yourself contemplating breaking them in your head, stop doing it.”

Because iCloud was a smashing success for Apple when they used this technique?

At least iOS and macOS don’t keep on asking you after you say no like Windows does though. At least not until you change something in your iCloud configuration.
