                                             I spent ALL of last evening with McCrapee. Step 1 - consolidate licenses (because some came with computers). Easy, but took a while Step 2 - all existing licenses were expired, so needed to download new versions (can't just change the license). Download outage. May be 24 hours.  Step 3 - tried to get a refund and replace with AVG, but the subscription was paid for too long ago Step 4 = download outage ended. Had to REMOVE and reinstall on 4 computers Step 5 - Two computers would not remove McCrappee. One did on a reinstall; the other took their removal tool And after something like 3 hours, I have the systems working safely again. And when the McCrappee renewal comes up, I'm taking my business elsewhere

 In #1 Kosh's Shadow said: And when the McCrappee renewal comes up, I'm taking my business elsewhere I totally support this. That software might have been okay in the 90's, but they absolutely haven't kept up with the technology.

                                             Did you catch this? Among all the executive orders that have gone out to get rid of DEI in the government, Trump got rid of one more thing: Affirmative Action.  I think Trump put in more work in the first three days of his presidency than Biden did for the entirety of his term.

                                             Here's a question: how much money have all the various countries given to Ukraine to fight their war? I ask because in a story on which Canadian provincial premier is actually working with the Trump administration also mentioned that Canada gave $20 billion to Ukraine. I'm wondering if there is a web page that tracks all the donations that have come in.

Bannon is attacking MAGA insiders, using vitriolic invectives to score political points. It’s the same as before; only the names have changed." I've never listened to Bannon, so I have no intention of starting now.

If you said "Amazon," give yourself a gold star. Not the police or social system that was warned about this guy multiple times and did nothing. These people push a belief that cursed objects (guns, knives, narwhal tusks, whatever) cause people to do evil things. This is literally a belief in voodoo. And these same types will then turn around and yell, "trust #TheScience!!!".
