Good morning.

So you’ve heard about yesterday’s mass shooting in South Carolina that killed five people, including two children, ages five and nine?

If not, it’s because the MSM have been strangely quiet about it.  I wonder why.

Also, RIP Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh.

I read Fox News, so I read about it.

And we know, only black lives matter, and then, only if they are killed by police, but not by other blacks.

On, and any killings by white supremacists are bad and show all conservatives and Republicans are eeeevil, especially Trump, even if the white supremacists hated Trump (both synagogue shooters thought he was controlled by Jews).

and of course the main stream media also went awfully quiet awfully fast about the Boulder shooting, didn't they.

If Microsoft made it too easy, your employer would not need you. Just look at it as earning your pay.

I am NOT primarily paid to deal with Microsoft crap, so it does nothing but annoy me.

Your company goes live with beta?

The eCAD platform we use had a major update last Sept. It's on it second update. We still haven't updated. We're running it in a test environment before. It's mission critical. The other thing is it is not backwards compatible. So when we update, every server, every database, every user has to jump at the same time.

How much will The People of City accept?

Woke is more important than the safety of the children.

Of course.

Or the citizen children's education. IIRC, in San Diego, teachers won't teach in classrooms - but will in illegal immigrant camps.

Their Mac email client has two modes, one of which is actually a beta product but it's not listed that way anywhere in the product or on the site. It has serious issues with synchronization with the server that I'm not finding any solution to.

So Biden is both trying how to stop packing weapons, and how to start packing the Supreme Court.

OK, it is his advisors who released the statement. He's just a mouthpiece, like the ones in the Disney hall of presidents.

Well, next toilet paper shortage, we can use copies of the Constitution.

Too bad you can't just use Thunderbird, which, I believe, works with Exchange. I far prefer it to any Microsoft email product.

LOS ANGELES — A Palmdale woman who pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of her 8-year-old son — who was routinely beaten, starved, forced to sleep in a closet and tortured until his 2013 death — has filed court papers seeking a new hearing in her case.

I think the people in medieval times had the best possible punishments for people like that.

Correct me if I am wrong, but most, if not all, of the attacks on "Asians" are carried out by blacks.

Perhaps if the country had paid more attention to the attacks on Jews over the last couple of years, they wouldn't have the idea they can get away with this.

As usual, Jews are the canary in the coal mine.

Drowning was the standard punishment in such cases.  Tie your legs and arms to a pole and toss you off a bridge.

Too fast for her. But then, torturers cost money. Just wall her up in a dungeon.

No, just execute her.  Get it done, "basic social hygiene".   

I'm not really "about" (as the Millennials say) these oft-seen-online ideas of horrific, tortuous deaths even for the worst criminals (and yes, I know they're offered as hyperbole... usually).  Implementing such things would drag us all down as a society (and Lord knows we don't need any further momentum in that direction).  A quick execution and be done with it.

Ain't We Got Guns?
---apologies to "Ain't We Got Fun?"

We all gather
And online we blather
That we got guns!
We don’t do nothin’
We’re always bluffin’
But we got guns!
We’ve given the nation away
For over forty years
But we just lounge back and say
Let’s have a couple beers
Tyranny’s closin’ in much closer
Still we’ve got guns!
We won’t do nothin’ ‘bout it, no sir
But we got guns!
We’re politically toothless
As Constitutional guardians damn near useless
In the meantime
In between time
We still got guns!
