A couple of years ago, we did a core conversion at work, which involved porting a large amount of data to a new system.
It took us many months to be assured it was what we needed / expected, and this is stuff we'd been working with for years.
Basically- there's no way DOGE knows what they're doing

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine.

JUST IN: A new H5N9 bird flu variant has been found in U.S. poultry for the first time at a California duck farm.
This variant, linked to the dangerous H5N1 strain, has led to the culling of nearly 119,000 birds to stop the outbreak.
