  • The first three statements in my post support the fourth. Just because you don’t like my conclusion doesn’t make it unreasonable.

    From the light details in the article, here’s what’s not in question: He came on to his nanny. He came on to his fan. Two separate unrelated people. They are both half his age. They both have unsubstantiated but like stories.

    Now any of three things could be lies or deceptions or something else. That’s why if he has something to say he deserves to be heard.

    We don’t have any form of denial from his side. No claims of I don’t know these people or you don’t have all the facts. No statements of collusion. I would assume his lawyer said don’t say anything. Well this is fine and does not make him guilty it also doesn’t give us even the slightest indication that any of this is a fabrication.

    The next problem is when I say it’s reasonable that is my subjective opinion. If you know him and have a long personal knowledge of his history maybe you have a different opinion than me.

    Based on the information that’s brought forward substantiated and unsubstantiated I’m saying that this is a reasonable and likely direction that this will head. That is unless they settle out of court and what you won’t hear about it again.


  • I tried slackwear in '94. Getting it running was no big deal, but I had zero experience and documentation / help guides were thin. Installing applications or getting peripherals to work was prohibitively difficult without having a pretty decent amount of knowledge about it.

    My high school had a rather large dose/novell Network but there was no internet yet. BBS’s were a thing and you could get a lot of installers and information from them. But they were all running in dos for the most part

    My college had a VAX, it was more or less there just to get email and power a metric ass load of terminals in the library for research purposes. They really tried to keep you out of the CLI, everything was menued. I figured out that you could go for it to a South African University about seven times in a row and it would explode and give you a telnet session, but even then I wasn’t really working with an OS shell. The school had a computer lab. It was all Windows 3 and Novell, No internet for the longest time.

    My ISP had options to dial up into a terminal session. My home dial up line was awful. Trying to FTP over PPP was a fool’s errand. I started getting used to connecting to my ISP and FTPing files down to their local node on with their T1 and then switching over to z modem to download the files to my house with the ability to auto restart on failure.

    I didn’t try to run a Linux based OS again until Gnome came out.

    I’ve been Linux in the desktop for years. You really don’t have any choice other than to be a little bit flexible.

    More times than not it turns out to be a plugin that screws over the site. Here’s my general path:

    Won’t load in Firefox? Disable privacy badger and ublock origin

    Still won’t load? Try it in a private window with no extensions loaded

    Still won’t load? Move over to brave.

    Still won’t work? Disable Shields

    Still won’t work? Straight to a vanilla copy of edge, (a vanilla copy of Vivaldi would also be reasonable)

    Just last night I ran into a problem with my ADP work portal. Things worked fine for ages, All of a sudden my password wouldn’t work. I went into private mode My password now works but loading the actual page netted me a blank page

    I opened it up in brave and it just worked outright.



  • They’re only allowed to have 7.62 cm, so from a legal standpoint it’s almost twice the legal limit.

    If the law doesn’t make sense you don’t challenge it by breaking it.

    The police don’t carry guns there so yeah they’re concerned.

    Running around twirling a clearly illegal item in public is pretty good logical grounds for police intervention. If the law says 3 in when do you actually stop them is it 4, 10, 12? If he was just transporting it from one house to another they might have let it go. But he’s walking around fidgeting twirling it in the open. I suspect he was performing twirls and dagger tricks. So the general public is probably also a little concerned. If he’s walking around his neighborhood twirling it around all the time it might even been a neighbor that called the police on it.

    The fine is reasonable, getting locked up for 4 months is probably a bit much.
