@ChattyQueequeg I loved to read this.... Right up to when my mind inserted Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes reading Goodnight Moon. Can't stop laughing now. 😂

@killagator Not trying to be an agitator, and never for a second think I have even one positive thing to say about Boebert, but I think you've missed her poorly articulated point.

I have a couple staunch conservatives in my circle. They would tell me her point is not that gov't help is never necessary. Rather, it's about her not wanting a system that encourages participants to stay on the gov't teat forever. That's the point to argue with her about.

And her cheese comment is just dumb. 😎

Ug.....the live feed ended. Here's the link to the beginning.

@damselfly59 You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

There is no possible defense for this behavior.

@carolpinchefsky My 2 cents: For me it's not so much about what is strategically better.
If your customers/users can handle both the digital change and the process change at the same time then do both. If you think the process changes will create too many waves with your audience then do a like-for-like to digital then change the processes as a fast follower. That's more work for you but might be a better experience for them.

@Novels56 100% yes. Mom had a blue one. I swear I can smell that photo.

This quote popped up on a thread. That's where my question came from.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
― Sun tzu, The Art of War

So... is there any chance the string of horribly failed conservative technology endeavors are part of a ruse to cover an actual domestic cyber war in the making?

After so many embarrassing attempts it would be easy to let the collective guard down.

@Novels56 Done!

Had my lovely bride's sister and her husband from the Pacific NW stay with us over the holiday weekend. Left for the long drive back home a few hours ago. I'm happy to say that as in-laws go these two are great. They are always welcome to stay with us whenever they make the trek to town.

The husband is originally from Spain and I love chatting with him.

Now just need to figure out to get out their way next time. #goals.

Hope everyone in the States had a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.

Is there any possible way to see those pics and not hear Ride of the Valkyries in your head?

@0x56 Default passwords are okay.

@catlynne333 Well....I don't think the nude thing by itself would have deterred Vogue. They've about done it themselves over the years.

Don't get me wrong. Lara is a whiney brat and needs to just shut the heck up.

You know what happens when you put both your hummus and your crackers in identical bowls? Not much until you add in some TV distraction. At that point you will100% stick your fingers into the hummus. Ugh. 🙄

@Qbae 😂

@Qbae Can you drop by mr. fake name's place and leave your own made up infraction notice? A little tit-for-tat as it were.

@MrsBentoBako As they are writing up the deal the sales guy finally asked him where his car was so they could take it for a quick spin. He told the guy it was over in the service department getting what would likely be 1,000's of dollars worth of work. Too late. The paperwork was already signed. So instead of taking home his fixed car he went home with a new one.
