I am speechless.

"Ukraine has always been an issue with corruption"

Therefore they would have no problem with a bit more corruption, i.e. investigating a presidential opponent of Trump?

Speaking as a Minnesotan, for us this is much ado about not very much. Yeah, it's colder than it typically is this time of year, but these temps will are coming soon anyhow, so . . . (shrug). It's pretty nasty out right now - temperature of 17° with a wind chill of 2°. But yeah, it will warm up lat...

At this moment, Trump is up to at least 77 tweets + retweets just today.

Good Lord!

I have an Echo Dot next to the bed and play tunes from Spotify at night. I discovered one problem with telling Alexa what songs I want to hear: I have to be able to pronounce the name and singer. I was going to ask it to play Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Nope. Wasn't going to...

If it's in ALL CAPS it's a straw bus, I know that much. Probably wouldn't be so bad, getting throwed under a straw bus.

Is a straw bus similar to a hay wagon?

With Putin Trump promising lavish handouts to Republicans running for re-election, I expect the majority of those who are in it for the money will stay in it for that money. After they lose, they can keep the change. And the Republican party will support almost any incumbent. Incumbents usually hav...

The local Twin Cities electrical company was not maintaining equipment back in 2002 and it got so bad at our house that the fluorescent lights in the basement would not even light up all the way.

It would be interesting to see how well they work with computer monitors. The EnChroma site recommends their outdoors sunglasses as your main pair of EnChroma glasses. The glasses will be most effective in bright light. They recommend the indoor glasses as a secondary pair. That said, I'm tempted t...

Just an FYI - Nancy Pelosi will be on Stephen Colbert tonight.

But since Trump already single-handedly exterminated ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is irrelevant. According to Trump there was nothing left for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to be leader of.

By the way, there are lots of videos at YouTube showing the reaction of color blind people trying out their EnChroma glasses for the first time. OK, now I'm a sobbing mess!

Someone put a figure of Trump in the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn. The Gowanus Canal is one of the most polluted places in the USA.

So... sort of a New York swamp with Trump in the middle. Seems appropriate.

A flock of 10 turkeys decided to hang out on my yard. They let me get this close to me.

I use Dropbox, but if a file is corrupted on your PC, wouldn't it also be corrupted on Dropbox? I have real-time syncing; maybe you have that turned off? Dropbox will keep old versions of files for 30 days under its free and regular ($120/year) plans. Its $200/year plan allows you to go back 180 da...

I sympathize. Two weeks ago my laptop starting acting funny (it’s old) but it repaired itself enough so I could do a backup to an external hard drive. I used to work in IT... I should know better. I do a more regular backup of my most important files to Dropbox. Have you explored using a cloud servi...
