We are so lucky that our DC Metro and Capitol police officers were only beaten within an inch of their lives and not executed during the #Jan6thInsurrection
@Keep_Real they want it tracked. but they really don't want to talk about that either
@wowindc i use Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office backup utility to take an image backup so i can easily restore in case of problems. i don't include onedrive stuff in the acronis backup. for that i use a 1TB usb drive for portability
@wowindc you're welcome. i keep pretty much everything under my "c:\users\<username>\" in onedrive. the only exception is the downloads folder. i don't back this up because it's easy to download stuff again. desktop, documents, music, pictures, and videos are all kept in onedrive. almost everything is "available when online" so it's not taking space locally. other stuff is "available on this device" so i don't have to be online for it
@wowindc i use onedrive. dropbox has had security issues in the past. don't really know much about google's but I've used it too. anecdotally i prefer onedrive but can't say empirically which is best

This is the line right now for folks to go see Harris & Walz in Eau Claire, Wisconsin—an area that is represented by a Republican in Congress. This energy & enthusiasm are at all-time highs.

No, no, calling Walz "Tampon Tim" doesn't make you look even a BIT like a pack of woman-hating weirdos.

Part of what I like about Walz is he represents a positive masculinity. He was a soldier, he coached football, he hunts, he is definitely a guys guy but at the same time he does not diminish others to "secure" his masculinity. He does not act out in anger or violence. He lifts others up while enjoying his dude things.

Best response I've seen to article about Elon suing advertisers for boycotting twitter:
"I guess telling them to go fuck themselves didn't work, huh?".

"Violent crime was up under Donald Trump...that's not even counting the crimes he committed."

Even if we wouldn't make the same choices, there's a golden rule: Mind you own damn business. That includes IVF. This is personal... So, it's not a chance that we named our daughter Hope—Gov Walz

We have a new slogan.
One that will resonate with everyone.
"It's none of your da** business."
Thanks uncle Tim

The new significant wave. It's hard to believe the we're well into our 5th year of this virus and not taking the requisite steps to gain control.
