The CEO hate around here is childish. If the CEO doesn’t do what the board of directors wants, he’s fired. And the investors can fire the board. And next I’ll explain how golden parachutes actually work.

OTOH, I have zero problems with targeting healthcare CEOs. None. Zip. Zilch. NADA. They know the evil shit they signed up for.

Which one exactly? Seeing a few.

Safety gear. When I hike:

• whistle
• emergency beacon
• road flare
• fire starter
• pistol, sometimes an extra mag
• spare cold-weather clothes
• first aid kit
• walkie talkie
• food
• compass
• space blanket and regular blanket
• plastic poncho

On the water is a little different, but you get the idea. And yes, loaded with beer it’s a 19lb. bag. Good exercise though and it fits and rides like a dream. I’m not really aware it’s on.

Massad Ayoub is the man when it comes to firearms and law. I know of no one more expert.

I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.

Now that you know the movie, search for the bank robbery scene. It may be the best gunfight ever filmed.

No lie. OP is clearly asking about a factory Windows install.

“LINUX!”

Yeah. We know. That wasn’t the question.

Also, if Windows was ever activated on that machine, it’s good to go forever. Far quicker to reinstall and wipe (as part of the process) than mucking around removing crap.

I am stunned this comic is still around. It would be like finding out Liberace was still alive.

Ha! I was thinking along these lines reading science fiction the other day. In every novel where stuff has to get moved overland, it’s always a train. No matter their tech level, trains are the simplest, most efficient solution.

They were simply following the classic trilogy arc:

1. Plucky heroes score on the big baddies against overwhelming odds.

2. Baddies hand our heroes their ass on a platter. Hope is all but gone.

3. Heroes come back bigger and tougher, win the whole game by the end.

My take is that he was young and idealistic and became cynical with age after a decade or so in the smuggling business.

You cannot comment on this without bringing up the Star Wars Christmas Special. Die hard fan since '77 and I can’t even start it.

LOL, been there done that. The tile floor was better than the steel bench because I could get in that position. Didn’t know there was a word for that!

My story starts the same, except I woke on the couch, butt naked, her fully dressed and her family milling around making breakfast. They were very nice people!

Rode my motorcycle to work on a Saturday to check in on my training class who had just hit the call center floor.

“Where you been shalafi?”

“Uh, it’s a story…”

My son is about Anakin’s age from SW I. LOL, he’s too uncoordinated to learn a box knife, let alone a power saw.

LOL, my friend had the 400. We all hated it.

The energy you’re reading is non-ionizing, can’t cause cancer.

If an energy source is high enough frequency, and strong enough, it can knock electrons out of their orbit, creating ions. Hence the name. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can knock your DNA around, cause cancer. Radio waves simply cannot. Get the idea?

Nothing coming out of a laptop is energetic enough to even begin stripping electrons from the atoms in your cells.

I could probably tell a little more if you can say how and what “energy” you’re measuring.

Forgot about the donation angle! I’m signed up for organ donation, need to get that more clear in my will, but whole-body donation would be great.

Worst case, med students can have a go, see how bones heal, stuff like that.
