Ok, i trust that's the case but the story was also 5 months ago? He can't keep a thought for a day, I highly doubt he kept it for 5 months...

To be clear... He's a racist pedophile who is suffering from dementia and wears diapers. There is so much to complain about with him, I don't see this as worthy of mockery of him. I have an non-verbal autistic child with epilepsy and I think he would be a better president... Probably just requesting to control the TV which would be on a cycle on paw patrol, blue clues and backyardigans which is preferable to fox and oan. He might agree on Healthcare though but only on defunding bloodtests cause he hates them.

That is sarcastic, yes I do a child with those conditions but no I wouldn't expect him to be a good president, I don't even trust him to be home if my girlfriend is in the bath while I walk the dog just incase he has a seizure.

Granted. I didn't see that in the article, I only saw them saying they couldn't calculate it in time due to the shutdown.

I feel bad defending Trump but isn't the same thing then?

Ah that makes sense

That is true. Lovelace and Margaret Hamilton are both great women in computing. Arguably up there with babage and turing but not nearly as well known.

Technically it's Boston, it's mid December, there is a high chance actual ice was there... /s

To take it to a new level they should put the message about LUCE on a bag of rock salt.

To be clear I am pro-immigrant and find all this ICE activity and the unmarked kidnappings disgusting. I just like dark humor. The cross section of ice vs ICE in Boston in winter is just funny.

I actually met her and have her signature from the late 90s in my closet...

I think I was only like 11 at the time, maybe 10

What's TBI?

Why does all of trump's "peace deal" just equates to "give the aggressors what they want"?

What happened in 2013 to delay that report? This seems really sketchy and I'm not a trump fan, just curious...

While this seems sketchy... What caused the skipped month in 2013, I don't remember any major event which would of justified that

Am I the only one who initially thought this was a competition to change trump's pull up...

Plus I find it funny their plan to raise birth rates were to renovate the rooms for breastfeeding. Now maybe they are run down but what woman seriously considers airport breastfeeding rooms and are like "yeah I'm not going to have a kid because of that"... Not cost of living, not lack of child care, not fear of the future, nope it's the airport breastfeeding rooms!

Actually only two "witches" were burned, about 70% were acquitted and almost the rest were hanged. That's atleast true in England, don't know about the figures for the US.

As evidence of the computers comment here's Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)

Long ago I think it was 2006, I worked in a computer store/corporate it support that used to also be a 56k dial up isp. When i first got hired it was supposed to be like a paid internship. 2 weeks in the guy "mentoring" me was fired. Only other employees was the owner was had a PhD in information technology from 1984 and never kept up and his wife who did the accounting.

Over the next year he hired and fired probably 15 people and then decided he liked me enough to make me full time. He had no idea what he was doing and neither did I. Basically I was responsible for 8 business networks(including a 150 employee credit union), any computers a customer brought in, and our own internal network.

One day it was slow so I was browsing various web comics. The owner comes on at 1030(we opened at 900) furious with me. He claimed I was "reading a page with black text on a white background" which meant I was reading how to operate a spam business. That was his proof, a page with black text and a white background which he could not find my history.

He had received a letter from his isp that we were sending 2.5 million emails a day, we had 72 hours to resolve the issue or we were to be cut off. I argued that I didn't run a spam operation, he had no proof and there were simpler explanations. It got so heated I quit, keep in mind I was only employee.

Next day the credit union was having a server issue and he had no one to fix it. He called me asking for me to return, I negotiated a $1 hour raise, an official written letter of apology, pay for time the previous day and that day and told him I would be back the following day.

I went in, solved the server issue(eventually found out cleaning crew was unplugging the power strip to plug in their vaccum over night and the server was configured not to restart when power returned). Went back to the office and talked with the owner. He showed me the letter and it identified 2 ip addresses as being the source. Neither was my computer and I didn't recognize them. There was a command you could send over the terminal to open the CD tray based on ip address. I ran the command and basically walked around looking for a computer with open CD trays.

Turns out there was 2 servers, outside of our firewall directly facing the internet and yes for the memes they were originally dns servers from the 56k isp days. They were running original nt4, completely unpatched, with no security software installed and permanent outside facing ip addresses. I ran a virus scanner on it, I stopped when it detected over 100k infected files. Disconnected the servers, waited 10 minutes, called isp and effectively all email had stopped (the boss and myself both sent 1 email to confirm it was still working).

bribe payment must of cleared in trumps bank account

The first computers were mostly women so... (originally being a computer was a profession which basically meant being paid to do calculations.)

Took about 2 hours just to make the spaetzle... I will say I took 3 10 minute breaks because of how sore my arm got. Bowl of batter, scoop 1-2 spoon fulls, then squeeze till no more came out. Had to be careful though, because by time about 3 squeezes worth were in the oil the first squeezer worth was already cooked so we then had to alternate squeezing and picking them out with a slotted spatula.

The recipe I found on the internet was for 10 servings but there was only 3 of us so we I told my girlfriend to cut it in half. Somehow there was a miscommunication and instead of halving it, she doubled it.

We both loved the final result but agreed to never make it again due to the effort it took.

Yeah... That would of made things so much easier. I used basically something like this https://a.co/d/dBsDis5

Depends... Wait if it involves depends that a whole other fetish.

It would be horrible in real life but I thought a funny intro to a post apocalyptic movie would be a person giving a tour of a bio lab to college interns and...

"through our studies we have learned to increase the transmission rate and the death rate of the small pox virus. The downside is we had to mix it with rabies so the infected tend to get aggressive and lose there ability to rationalize their thoughts. Don't worry though, there is only this one vial of it in the entire world... these gloves are quite slippery.. Oops"
