RE: Reflecting on retirement (or not)
Yeah, you have to take into account total compensation, not just one thing. I think state employees typically get better health benefits too (or at least cheaper ones). In my previous private sector job,

RE: ICE, Renee Good, & Justifiable Force
Portland avenue is a a two lane road. It appears to me that Good was parked perpendicular to traffic, blocking at least one lane. I suspect, but have no evidence, that she was probably trying to block

RE: Just like living in paradise?
I think most of this is more a case of history repeating itself than 'unprecedented' (well, maybe except for the Greenland thing). The Venezuela thing is reminiscent of what happened with Noriega in Panama.

Yes, but the arrest was for an earlier activity, not what she was doing at that moment.

My grandmother had something similar but a little newer. It was a chevy station wagon from around 1979. Same color though.

RE: Price Pointe (Computer Shopper, May 1996)
In 1996 I was still using my 486 DX2-66 based Gateway 2000 but it was upgraded to Windows 95. I had a great time with that machine. By the end of 1997 I had upgraded to a Pentium II.

RE: Wizardry VI on Sega Saturn Translated to English by Talented Fan
I would have thought the Wizardry games would be more popular in the U.S. than in Japan so it seems a little strange that it was never ported or that it was even released in Japan first (or at all). I

I'm not much of a photographer really. When trying to photograph action, I generally use shutter priority and just set it as fast as I can without it becoming too dark and let the camera handle the rest.

RE: Trump censorship of Disney - my comment. | Trump stosuje cenzurę względem Disneya - mój komentarz.
Lack of professionalism maybe. However, the fact that there was no official action taken means there was no censorship. As far as why Disney initially suspended Kimmel: "We made the decision to suspend

Prove what? That Trump didn't do something? Your own link does that. One of the headlines (first link you posted) is 'FCC chair, helped take down Jimmy Kimmel with words, not actions". Just like anybody

Trump didn't fire Kimmel nor was he even fired. ABC suspended his show "indefinitely" (which turned out to be a few days). This was primarily because of pressure from ABC affiliates because their

In general, I think people should get vaccinated. Having said that, you can't just dismiss those other things (freedom, choice, faith) because it is about those things too. I support vaccination. I don't
