I like the look of that one as it hides everything but it also hides everything so it could be hard to manage a bunch of cables and power bars but once it's setup up how often would you need to go in there?

I've used many of these over the years in office setups from IKEA. It's a open design but with lots of places to hook wire loops.

Thank you. I'm all the years I've never seen the old lady without this

Today after reading this I'm sure I'm taking crazy pills...

I think of the absolute horror and the whole news cycle dedicated to a tan suit...

I saw a crazy Instagram video where the citizens are upset they are only trying to clean up the river for the Olympics not for the people that live there. They were trying to start a viral campaign to have everyone Sh8t in the river after the clean up is done.

I wonder if $45,000 even covers the cost of 1 or 2 of those clean ups?

Go to jail for this but large corporate farmers are given immunity from prosecution for destroying the water supply in the state...

I ended up on this last year as I was exploring the South West. I found it confusing even as a Canadian.

I then later was confusion when Google Maps told me to go 80 on Hwy 10 in Texas once I came up from Big Bend NP. I thought the GPS was confused. 80 kms on the highway in the US? It was then I realized I wasn't in Oregon anymore with their 60 mph highways. Texas goes fast and even 80 mph isn't enough for most people. Even the single lane highways with construction workers was 65 mph work zones in Texas.

It was the most amount of road kill I've ever seen in all my travels. I think at one stage a herd of goats must of tried to cross the highway based on the carnage I came across. I finally understood the reason for the huge bumpers on the front of trucks in Texas now.

I like to say a little before that time but it was in the early 80s

I recall the first time I saw these as a kid when visiting my mother in Alberta. I hated them then and I'm not sure it's changed since then. Haven't seen them in BC.

I've been a user since Dos 5.0 and Windows 3.0.

Today I mostly use Linux Mint on my dual boot laptops and need to convert my main PC over to dual boot Mint next. I rarely boot into windows at home and if it wasn't for proprietary software at work running only on Windows I would have been done sooner.

I was mostly able to go from XP to 7 and avoided Vista and 8 altogether. Windows 10 was sort of ok with the ability to go back to a Windows 7 control panel when needed but it always felt half baked and unfinished to me.

I've just not been interested in 11 at all and the tidbits I'm hearing about Co-pilot reminds me of not only Clipit but the forcing of IE/ Edge constantly on user's especially after every larger update but to mention resetting the default PDF reader to edge. In a work environment of 20 plus shop PC's I was managing for low tech skill employees it was a pain in the ass chasing down the changes that were not made on my behalf.

What will be the Co-pilot's flavor of this new round of BS from Microsoft? The forcing of a cloud account is another headache I don't want to deal with either.

I will say Mint just mostly does what I need for my web browsing and general productivity needs without the constant game of trying to keep it the way I want it versus what MS wants for me with every update.

I'm at the stage of get off my lawn and screaming at a cloud in the sky next. That cloud is MS these days when adding in the annoyances of their Android keyboard *Swiftkey injecting Co-pilot and Bing into my searches. I've not played in Office 365 for a bit now but I can only imagine it's just as bad now.

 

A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father, before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories...

In the YouTube video, which was titled "Mohn's Militia - Call To Arms For American Patriots" and is cited in a police complaint, Mohn is seen wearing gloves and holding his father's head in a plastic bag. Later, the head can be seen in a cooking pot.

Mohn says his father was a federal employee for 20 years and refers to him as a traitor,** calling for the death of all federal officials and attacking President Joe Biden's administration, the Black Lives Matter movement, the LGBTQ community and antifa activists**. YouTube removed the video, which is more than 14 minutes long, hours after it was posted.

Why must these red hat losers take down loved ones and others in their spiral down the Qanon rabbit hole? Will the Qanon grifters ever be held accountable for their roles for feeding these types with misinformation and radicalizing those that will go to these extremes just to sell the latest hat, tee-shirt, flag, subscription?

These grifters and the homegrown white terrorists are the real threats...

 

With a preventable measles outbreak in Philadelphia perhaps not...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.
