Imagine sitting there... you go have a light lunch.. send a few emails... come back and yup, those dudes are still clinging to that boat and haven't died yet...
Seemingly you could go arrest them, get additional intelligence.. Sounds like a lot of paperwork though. No loose ends they say..

Had a weird moment where my brain/muscle memory got cross wired and could no longer remember my personal PC user password. After several rounds of failed attempts I checked the internet and yup... there is an exploit that takes less than 2 minutes with ZERO technical knowledge required..

First of all, felons should not be disenfranchised at all, full stop, second of all, it is wild to have restoration of voting rights contingent on a governor's approval.
Virginia's tough rules for felons to regain their voting rights could soon be changing
Virginia is one of just a few states where only the governor can restore voting rights for people with felony convictions. But Virginia's rules may soon be changing.

It is hilarious that Coffitivity's "focus" soundscape of a lunchtime cafe still features an audio clip of someone casually mentioning "body slams ya" to another person. The whole thing is on a short loop and every time it pops up it is so jarring as to prevent any "focus" for me.

New customer support tactic observed in the wild.. In this case the support agent seems as confused and bewildered as if I had asked a random person on the street for warranty service.
She is saying things in a surprised tone like
"Oh ok.. now I am going to ask you for your zip code"

One advantage of a nationwide Azure outage is that my Sharepoint and Office docs have never loaded faster than they are right now.... nothing like shedding 90% of their load to help on latency.

Fun side quest this morning. Started off when I noticed the exhaust vent in our master bath wasn't pulling very much air. Checked outside and sure enough the vent was full of old wasp nests that I had to clear out.

I wonder what history tells us about creating entire generations of disenfranchised, undocumented, angry people who have to break the law to protect their family.

One rule would strip aid from families where a member is in the U.S. illegally.
Families could keep their assistance if the ineligible member moves out. But HUD expects many families to give up assistance out of “fear of the family being separated.”

One small silver lining of all this is that I know I won't have to think about who I'm going to vote for in any future election for at least a generation.

President Trump wants to cancel nearly a billion dollars that would expand auto manufacturing in our state and help Michigan workers succeed. Cancelling these projects will jeopardize good Michigan jobs and our competitiveness against China.
The largest Michigan grant in question is a $500 million award for GM to convert its Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant from making ICE cars to EVs.
