@TomWellborn All too accurate.

I once sent an important loan payoff check through the mail--the only available option. I payed extra for tracking so I'd know it was delivered. Post office still managed to lose it. The tracking info simply stopped.

Turned out they stuck it in the wrong PO box. The only way I know this is because the people who found it in their box mailed it back to me. Otherwise, its disappearance would have remained a mystery.

Very important column from Will Bunch. Highly recommend. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/trump-cabinet-gaetz-rfk-gabbard-20241117.html?id=GlcsMNuxeRajN&utm_source=social&utm_campaign=gift_link&utm_medium=referral

Now why am I suddenly thinking of an old cartoon from decades ago? 😺

A room full of software developers are seated at their CRT monitors. A guy in front says to the group, "Start coding, and I'll go find out what the customer wants."

@DamonCrowley That's exactly what I saw--a sleep-deprived ostrich! 😺

@DamonCrowley What? No Rancid Raccoon?

@lolgop I don't think the Trump Admin could have prevented the pandemic--no country achieved that expect possibly New Zealand--but the number could easily been a small fraction of the 1.2 million dead Americans.

Had it been a Clinton Admin, Republicans would have to tried to impeach Hillary for 1/10th of Trump's numbers.

If you use H&R Block tax software, the 2023 version is available at 50% off, now through the Black Friday weekend. It's typically the lowest price of the year.

If past is prologue, the next 50% off window should be about early to mid-January.

"Star Trek: The Outsourced Generation" is a short Star Trek parody (581 words) I wrote 12 years ago. (OMG it's been that long?)

Created a new A03 account and put it there, using the same name/cat icon to be consistent.

@sec_yote_agenda Witchcraft punctuation turned me into a newt!

@floofpaldi FYI, if you don't want to pay for Microsoft Office, there are free alternatives to try. I use Libre Office in lieu of Microsoft Office.

Some writers like Scrivener. I've never used it, so I cannot express an opinion.

@floofpaldi Belt and suspenders. I'd also copy it to a USB thumb drive. Unless you're paying for space, Google Docs (or maybe I'm thinking of Google Drive) is more limited than a thumb drive.

@DamonCrowley A fling swing thing.

It's extra good luck.💜
