if you see anyone not listed in the EUC starter pack, someone, some account that needs to be on it (or someone I mistakenly added that is not in EUC), ping me and I add or remove them.
Yesterday I had a "maintenance" day at my daughter's new apartment. While fixing some cabinets in the kitchen, a Japanese Adult calendar was found behind the fridge.
It was "sticky", so I guess the previous owner of the apartment "used" it.. I asked, but my daughter didn't want it on the wall - LOL

All the reasons you need to stay the hell away from there. You may look to darks skinned for your safety. The bars in Europe have plenty of parties and better food and beers. No need to risk your life for a World Cup.

Finnish summer cottages (möki) are like children.. while asleep they are peaceful and easy… once awake, they become a handful of work and troublemakers.
We went to check on our child this weekend to see if we had a busy summer coming up..

We headed up to our cottage while temps we -20, we had to check if the storm of December caused any damage. Glad that we only have one tree down (last year we had 15 down).
Beautiful scenery. We had a coffee on the lake in the sun. nice walk to get there (driving is impossible right now)

1/ An authoritarian government begins rounding up people it sees as targets, using a rapidly expanded paramilitary force known for brutal tactics. Because of a lack of detention spaces, it warehouses people in requisitioned facilities. The year is 1933, the place is Germany. ⬇️

Question for the Finnish people. Settling a discussion with my wife.
What shoes do you wear in winter time to restaurants when there is snow and ice outside?
Do you take “good shoes” along and change or sit with winter shoes in restaurants?

I got forwarded some old photos I took in the 80s, early 90s. Digitalized. Yes, I used to roam the earth trying to shoot photos of military aircraft (#spotting). One of these required me to use a fake ID to get to the flight line, which I wouldn't dare do in today's world.

Remind me... I don't think Outlook can create a rule with a filter to find all emails that appear to be from our internal domain (Omnissa), but are written, e.g., as 0mnissa.
And if it doesn't have that option, isn't that the biggest oversight ever for an Email solution?
Any thoughts?

We get a 10% tax because we don’t want the US to grab Greenland… The big bully got upset with some countries helping Greenland. Come on Europe we can do better, station some serious troops there. the big baby needs to hear NO more clear… he is not used to it.

Installing software on Windows requires Visual C++ and other related components. You get tired of the reboots it needs. And I've been working with this for decades; I'm still amazed at how often it requires updates.

I stopped wearing watches because I hated the controls pushing my hand.

Forced regime changes. For those unaware, they hardly ever end up for the better.
History should be studied to avoid the same mistakes over and over. (This does not mean I didn’t think he was a dictator and should be gone - just not like this.) what’s next, Russian-style puppet leader?

I am old enough to remember when bad polls and lots of oil were reasons for attacks on a country. Under the disguise of many lies.
History repeats itself, sadly.
Sadly, with this comes chaos, refugees, hate and violence. But I guess the oil is worth it.

DuckDuckGo has the option to block a site from all search results, that seems to do the trick.. Sadly the management console does not allow you to add the urls.. you need to click on the … next to the results to add them…
Why is it so hard to give us user control over what we want to see?

For a while I have been searching how to remove certain sites (any Chinese shops as an example) from showing up in my google results.
So far it seems that I will need to install an outdated extension to cover this. Is there really no other way? Which other browser allows for user control over this?

No shit. That anyone for one second believed the Russians on this, is shocking itself.

BREAKING: US officials have concluded that Ukraine did not launch a drone strike on Putin’s residence. In other words, it is now apparent that the Russian dictator personally lied to Trump in a bid to derail peace efforts. Will there be consequences?

Last summer I spend most my holiday cutting trees at my cottage, that had fallen down due to a storm.
Now, I hear that the region that the biggest storm in 10 years, and I se pictures of fallen trees… no info on my cottage (it is very remote).. but I guess next holiday will be a repeat of ‘25.
