   Their goal, since they 80's, has been to make government look incompetent so they can privatize it and use as a weapon against their adversaries (who they argue want "big government").

   Remember, the pain this is causing everyone means less to the people in power than does the benefits of this shutdown (to them). We can argue about what those benefits are all day long, but they wouldn't be refusing to have discussion

   And something I forgot to mention, the color response of the ProArt is very odd and off. I didn't realize it when I had 2 ProArts, but when it was sitting next to the Studio display, it was obvious. I suspect the ProArt can be calibra

   I’ve had a few ProArt monitors and they aren’t very high quality, IME. I had high-pitched whine and blinking off/on issues, on several Mac models, from iMac to Air to Studio. Yes, I tried a variety of cables. The Apple Studio monitor,

   You didn't say which platform you're on. For Linux, just use the emacs that comes with the distro. For Windows, download the official build for Windows. For macOS, I used to use emacsformacosx.com's version but now I use H

   LPR?? It is so frustrating to see acronyms without explanation. I looked in the article and searched the web.

   I too was a Windows power user. Never thought I could use macOS. It was painful to start, but ultimately it was far better than what I had on Windows. You just have to put in the work. I did this conversion after I was 50.

    Me, too. Would be horrible to lose access to my scanner. I have no faith in Fujitsu tgat they would support my iX500.

    Weirdly, I have fit issues in my left ear, too, like others. Very odd.

    DEI is discussed at length in the podcast and is the excuse for rolling back civil rights.

    For now. I'm not being snarky or hyperbolic. Today's Daily pod is related. I'm half way through and no mention of voting yet, but it takes no imagination to see where this is going. Remember the whole "Obama wasn&#x2

    I say this with some trepidation. I certainly don't want to inflame this. First, never used Caddy. I have no dog in this fight. I do manage a (closed source) project (which is decades old). After reading this entire thread and all r

    The devastation those two fires cost is quite large, though. And, those are just the two I know about, the latest because of the linked article and the earlier one because I lived very near the fire line and know multiple people who lost h

    The controlled burn in 1991 turned into the firestorm of 1991 that took out almost 3,000 homes and killed 25. It seems firefighters are not conservative enough when it comes to putting out fires, at least in these 2 cases. https:/&#x2

    Offerring a dentist a large amount of money (for them) to sell isn’t an indication how the business is run.

    There are predatory ones that corner the market on something (pet care, dentistry) in an area to jack up prices and make a killing.

    In California two doctors must certify the person has less than six months to live. A friend of my mother just took the option due to terminal cancer.
