Here's to hoping he finds his way here, or starts his own site where he can't be censored so easily.

Oh, also, I'm happy to see hedgies are, after three years, still so engaged with us. Means we're still heading the right way. They say so much when they censor us.

This is it. They're a bit more expensive, but no BS, and they're made to run 24/7, so maybe a little more durable, too.

More and more happy I left Windows behind a couple of months ago. I'd been on Windows since version 3. I dual-booted for a few weeks, then took the plunge. Windows is completely gone from my life.

I'm on Ubuntu at the moment, but I'm planning a move to LMDE, I think that's a better distro for me.

I'm expecting her to be revealed as a villain at some point. She was born with a silver spoon, there are skeletons in closets, and she knows it. Time will tell.

Wow. I hope, for Chevy's sake, it's just software glitches that can be quickly solved with some updates.

Many readers are overly sensitive these days. If you use things like a period on the end of your sentences, and don't include emojis, then anything you say will be called out as "hostile" by some people.

Also, I've noticed many people ignore qualifiers in speech. If you use qualifiers thoughtfully, having them ignored by the reader can lead to miscommunication. I think the fact that so many people have used them without thought has led to a blindness for qualifiers. OTH, not including qualifiers can make us sound authoritative and even arrogant to some people.

For instance, in my first sentence, above, I said "Many readers...", and "...things like...", and "...by some people." If you ignore those qualifiers, what I said takes on a very different tone.

Can't win for losing.

This is common in old houses. I don't know if that's the case here. Houses built before indoor plumbing would be upgraded, the kitchen would get water, and a new bathroom would be built next to the kitchen where the new plumbing was. There would be no water or other bathroom in the entire house.

My grandparent's house was built like this, they still had the old water hand pump in the front yard, and they had an outhouse until the plumbing was upgraded.
