Austin expatriate; graybeard music, audio, computer and more kind of guy in rural Bastrop County, Texas.

Decide to have a good day. Kindness is key. The classroom never ends.

And thus & so.
I'm sure that you'll be able to optimize your visibility up to page four in the results.

Take me off of your unsolicited spam list. You'll note that I didn't say "please."

Search engines are passé, skippy.

Searches are already all-but going hidden and only "answers" will be provided soon enough. Bummer that they'll be unreliable, but that doesn't matter to the bottom line in this environment.

Shades of Dick Gephart. So institutionalized that they don't even bother to try if they conclude that they'll lose a floor vote. I'm not seeing any leadership out of Hakeem Jeffries, either.

On the plus side, Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are killin' it out there.

We need leaders, not janitors.

Woo hoo. Same. :)

We forget that nature does not forgive willful ignorance.

I don't recall who made this observation (apologies), but a virulent disease with a very high mortality and a simple and effective vaccine *will* happen. The willfully ignorant will literally be first to be gone.

Facts will return.

Do that, and we will talk about surveys and money.

My answer to the survey in total is this: forego your salaries and put *every penny* that you can lay hands on to win the two special elections in FL on Apr 1, and the special election in NY later in April. If you win all three, you win control of the House, and you can stop this in its tracks. WIN.

Of course, you immediately came to mind when I ran across this pic on the net...

Surely enjoyed "Uncle" Samuel L. Jackson.

Be assured that there are a lot of very good people on this. Database cleanups happen with every new administration, but the malevolence is extraordinary this time. A similar situation happened with Trump 1, so it has been more than expected.

I am seeing a trend with real, experienced Systems Administrators. (As opposed to "Devops.") There is a dearth of well experienced senior-level talent that can use a command line. I know several that can write their own ticket on stuff like this; there's not much of a back bench at present.
