Either is terrible, but I don't see how we can avoid both. |

| I had a doozy of a dream this morning. I dreamed that I was back in grad school and took an outside job working for the local office of a big company. The local office was very peculiar. In particular, the manager was a woman in her 80s. She made me and another male grad student her boyfriends witho... |

| I made a previous mistake in this post.I misinterpreted an article. I previously said Blake's son was paralyzed,the article was from the point of view of Blake's father and I missed that. The fact is that Jacob Blake is paralyzed from the waist down. It has also come out that Blake has a pending co... |

| Let's see... We have climate change being ignored as we are being flooded with storms and having our forests burn down around us in record breaking heat waves, a deadly pandemic, economic ruin, racial tensions coming to a boiling point, and perhaps we are on the verge of a third world war or second... |

My primary workstation can do a shutdown and reboot and be ready to log in in about a minute. As far as desktops go, it's not all that advanced. I bought it used for under $300. |

| Even John Bolden says it didn't happen and he is definitely not in Trumps fan club. That's somewhat inaccurate. John Bolton didn't say that it didn't happen. He said that he was there for a discussion and didn't hear Trump say it at that discussion, but he did not rule out the possibility that it w... |

I buy most of my computers from Discount Electronics in Austin, Texas. discountelectronics.com I think.
I've never had a problem with anything I bought from them and if I did, they warranty their computers for a year. |
