I was thinking about that just after I posted but didn’t want to bring it up. It’s likely to happen at some point, but I don’t want credit for it happening lol

I was reading about that. The empathetic part of me feels for him with such a difficult childhood, poverty, single mother with opioid addiction, raised by grandparents for a time, adopted by mothers later husband and the name changes that went with that. However very little after his childhood...

Everything I read about him is immediately followed by a but. He is a decorated marine, but served as journalist and public relations. He graduated from law school, but worked for venture capitalist. He was critical of Trump, but became his running mate. He converted to Catholicism but has a...

If I understand correctly, in the event Trump becomes incapacitated or impeached, the Vice President automatically becomes president. However there is a lot I don’t know beyond that. Does he remain president for the duration of the term and if so does that mean he can only serve one more...

I always include “Do not use — in your response to separate thoughts” since I find they all use this and a sure give away of AI written cover letters and proposals I receive.

I thought the same but there are 10 referendum questions so maybe they are individual ballots? Sounds crazy but that’s how they did municipal as well. Voters got 3 ballot cards, mayor, councillors, and trustees so 3x the amount of ballots to print and count.

In all your threads reacting and responding to your old posts.

Feeling nostalgic and morbidly curious and not sure where to start getting caught up. Tell me anything and everything. What is the latest in style and fashion and avatars. I imagine that has progressed a lot in recent years. For context I was last online during the transition from mesh parts...

Setled in with a coffee and snack before opening this thread thinking surely it would take a while to catch up. One post a month? Months without a post at all? Slackers. How am I supposed to get my fix on the latest in SL avatar trends and styles?

I signed up to work the upcoming referendum, not because I want Alberta to leave Canada, but because I want no reason for the separatists to have cause for complaint when they lose. Our provincial government got rid of ballot counting machines a little while ago and I worked the last municipal...

I almost never use it outside of work, but I use it almost daily at work. I use Rovo in Jira to summarize sprints and do release notes, which I could do myself but it saves a lot of time to have Rovo spit something out then edit it. I use NotebookLM a fair bit for projects, it’s a great way to...

Hardware as a barrier to entry or retention has been an issue for such a long time I am disappointed to find out it’s not yet resolved. Every now and again I reminisce and consider returning as the circumstances of my life give me a lot more time now, but I am not going to invest in a desktop...

It is freaky where my brain goes when I am even tangentially interacting with SL. I got alien Kajira from this.

It has been years since I have logged into SL and I am not sure what surprises me more. That I still know and remember what it means when you talk about having to cam around for something to sit on so you could get out of a wall. Or that this is still the solution to that problem.

i feel like there might be a backstory or context to this comment that I am missing, but even so it struck me as the funniest thing i have read in ages. Also this whole thread reads differently when you first see it months after the date it was posted. I didn’t even think to look at the date...

I only checked the last few pages so hopefully I am not duplicating a post, but has anyone watched Remarkably Bright Creatures? Based on a book I never did get around to reading and starring Sally Field so I had to give it a try. I really really enjoyed it for what it is, cozy and yes...

Good to be back! Not sure for how long but I am going to go necro a bunch of posts while I’m here.

I leave for a time and log in to find myself in 2013?

And to be clear women aren’t inherently better candidates, even though I wish more were elected, my own provincial premier is evidence of that. She’s somehow electable though even in Alberta. ☹

An unfortunate reality that I hoped wasn’t true and shouldn’t be but sadly is. Majority of voting Americans would prefer a lying demented rapist than a woman. Would a middle aged white man have won? Hard to say as there wasn’t one ready but my hope for America is that they find a few and...
