Knights among toner cartridges ( infosec.pub )

(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

I swear that I have worked in a place like this, all the way down to the stupid exposed ducts. This must be the corporate prison that our overlords have decided on.

So…they never mature?

Fowl!

No, but billionaires are visionaries, or something.

I want a home with black jack and hookers.

What happened in 2016?

Fixbeat ,

I wouldn’t say that was good news but I guess it depends on your perspective.

They’re suggesting a temporary move until a new job is sorted, if I understand. While not feasible for everyone, it could be an option for some to avoid being laid off.

Texas Takes Attacks on Austin to New Level With “Death Star” Law ( slate.com )

The goal of Death Star is simple. The deeply conservative Texas Legislature wants to effectively deny cities—the state’s large Democratic-leaning cities, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin in particular—the ability to pass local laws and regulations in eight major policy areas: agriculture, business and commerce, finance,...

Anyone know what regulations they’re trying to nullify?

Why don’t they hold him in contempt of court?

Fixbeat ,

Yeah, what exactly is the problem with the association? What have they done? Texas loves indoctrinating children, actually.

‘Lock Them Up’ Is Now the Republican Party’s Highest Goal ( nymag.com )

Ingraham and Shapiro have both plumped for Ron DeSantis, and Hochman left a job at National Review to work for him (before being forced out after making fascistic, white supremacist memes for the campaign’s social media accounts). You might think they would depict Trump’s legal jeopardy as, if not fair punishment for his...

GOP is going to do as many despicable things as they can, no matter what. Might as well prosecute an obvious and blatant criminal like Trump. I don’t think we can afford not to lock him up.

So, one of his arguments is that conservatives would try to game the system to go after dems, if the dems do it first? Right, like they did to Clinton, Obama and Biden? Who are they trying to fool?

You Don't Need to Keep Every Electronic Box!

Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have...

Retro PC…is that a thing?

Isn’t the free market going to resolve this? WTF Texas

Anyone else have trouble with these GE dishwashing machines?

Mine cleans dishes well enough, but the gaskets leak easier than any other dishwasher I've ever had. I replaced the gaskets a few months ago, but if a little bit of debris builds up then it's leaking again. Also, the racks are badly corroded, but the machine is only maybe five years old. Anyway, it's just kind of funny that my aunt is coming over tomorrow and the last time she was here she noticed the dishwasher was leaking.

I’ve got one. It hasn’t failed, but it sucks. Runs for hours, but doesn’t clean very well.

Fixbeat ,

Sometimes I open it after and the pod is half resolved😡

Great, it’s a real problem. Hopefully this reduces the number of uninsured.
