Every conservative accusation is a confession.

72 million Americans lived through four years of Trump and liked what they saw so much they wanted four more years. We ignore him (and his cult) at our peril.

Just a reminder that real people suffered as a result of the Giuliani’s contemptible lies. For me, this was the most gut-wrenching testimony from the January 6th hearings.

Another confirmation here. At my previous job, I was they guy who built Access databases and wrote VBA code. While not ideal, it was a very small business (less than 10 employees) and it was fit for purpose.

When I got a new job at a company with almost 3,000 employees, I was like, “Finally, I’ll be working somewhere that has proper IT resources.” Ha! I soon find out that my department runs critical business infrastructure with Excel macros. And we have a proper IT department.

As everyone has already said, if IT resources are in short supply (or the wait is too long, or building projects with IT support is a PITA), then people will build systems with the tools they have at hand. And that’s often MS Office.

Better before. The brick gave the facade character. The “modernized” exterior is bland and weird.

My current car is an '07 Yaris. It’s totally bare bones, but everyone who has been in it comments on how spacious the interior is.

I’ve always driven small cars, because they’re economical and I’ve never needed anything larger. I hate that small hatchbacks are so scarce in the US and that our roads are overrun with ludicrously huge pickups and SUVs. We transitioned from land yachts to small cars in the late 1970’s and 1980’s, we could do it again with the right incentives.

I guess the reviewer doesn’t care about software updates, because Motorola’s support is abysmal.

It’s a cult. MAGAts need deprogramming, not negative ads.

And this particular group are not good guys, either.

Leopards eating faces is exactly what this is, though. “Muslim who supports Christian Nationalists because they hate gay people shocked that Christian Nationalists also hate Muslims.”

For the record, the problem in Norway was that government programs to encourage electric vehicle ownership were too successful and incentivized people to drive instead of use transit. Also, the financial incentives for purchasing electric cars mostly went to people who were already wealthy.
