    Off-Topic How Podesta's Emails Were Hacked

    While I intend to not score political points, I think most of us, having joined a techie discussion board, are curious how the access to Clinton's email originated. According to the NY Post, Clinton campaign manager John Podesta fell victim to a classic phishing scam. Podesta received an...

    Why Doesn't Canada Protect It's PM?

    Canadian PM buys his own groceries? Can you imagine Obama or Clinton buying groceries? I doubt that either pays for their own meals. LOL. So a guy come right up to Trudeau's face on the street, so close that Trudeau needs to raise his arms to keep the guy back. Another incident the same day...

    Clinton changes her tune. Vetting immigrants is no longer racist.

    Of course her tune is that she been a proponent forever of strong vetting of immigrants. Funny, I could have sworn that she's been calling Trump a racist for stating the very same thing. Well you know how it is with Clinton. She sticks her moistened finger in the air to check which way the...

    When you click on the link to go to the NY Post, there is a video. I think it is fine, as you can't really see much. But if you worry about it not being appropriate at your workplace, then don't click on it...

    Water Bottle Germs

    I think that this really over done. We need to digest some good germs. We even need some bad ones to build up our immunity. My water bottle is double walled stainless steel with a plastic screw top. I rinse it out every day. Wash it with soap and hot water every 3 days or so. A greater...

    To Floss Or Not To Floss

    I had poor dental habits, until I ran into needing numerous filling in my twenties. These days I religiously floss once a day and brush 2 to 3 times a day. My visits to the dentist for the most part are for a cleaning and a checkup. I just read this article on flossing. It casts doubts on the...

    Both Clinton's Health

    If he was sleeping, was it because Hillary's speeches are a replacement for NyQuil? I believe, it is because he is tired from that vegan diet he is on. He needs some protein. Bill hasn't been looking good for a while. I did not watch the DNC speeches, but I read that Hillary continues to...

    Securing Flash Drives

    So I lost a flash drive last week. I thought maybe it popped out of my laptop's case, when pulling out the power cord. I was more than upset with myself, because there are files with personal information, and everything on the drive is visible. Good news. After cleaning up some papers laying...

    Who Will Be Clinton's VP?

    That choice could be made today. The NY Times seems to believe Tim Kaine, Senator from Virginia has the inside track. I thought that it would be Liz Warren, Senator from Mass. But now having The Bern's endorsement in hand, Clinton may not feel it is necessary to have a far left, progressive...

    Breaking News: Police Officer In Kansas City Killed

    Setting Up A Second User Account

    I set up another user account on my laptop. This account has no admin privileges, and I am using it in hotspots. The intent is a layer of protection to limit malware crap from running. I'm pretty careful about where I go on the web, and this account uses firefox with ublock. So the other day...

    It is hot and humid. I didn't feel like cooking. Last night I made a great cool down and nutritious meal. It is also easy to make with a food processor. Ate a few hours back with walnut zucchini bread, which I bought at Wegmans. Makes for a nice light lunch. In case you don't know, you eat...

    Obama's Legacy

    Lots to choice from. But if Hillary is not indicted, this will be his legacy... Crime Pays! I occasionally listen to NPR and watch the Clinton News Network, and inevitably when things are slow, talk seems to center around Obama's legacy. He's back into the corner now. Kill the Dems chances...

    Development on Clinton Email Probe?

    According to the Washington Post... I don't know what this means in political speech, but at least on the surface it seems significant for the criminal investigation of Clinton. Then again, I would be floored if there is an indictment against her. It should be illegal for public officials to...

    Is Paul Simon Retiring?

    Looks like Simon might be. Though the timing is unclear. While he is short in height, he has been a giant in musical stature. Simon is still on top in 2016 with his new album, Stranger to Stranger. I don't have a favorite song, because there are too many great ones...

    Another Presidential Poll Late June 2016

    ‘Brexit’ Revolt Casts a Shadow Over Hillary Clinton’s Cautious Path

    We'll maybe the quote is going overboard. But according the nation's leading liberal authority, the NY Times, Hillary has no policy for dealing with this global event. Go ahead and disagree with the NY Times, and you'll be tossed out of the Party. In the Trump thread, you mock him for not...

    Air Bag Fiasco

    Clinton Shifts Hard Right!

    Hillary Clinton reacts to the Orlando shooting massacre, saying she has no problem with the term "Radical Islam". All of a sudden Donald Trump is no longer out of the mainstream. But wait until tomorrow. Her views can change on a dime. Just like Donald Trump, you would probably say. Sorry...

    Looking for inexpensive but quality jeans

    So my last pair of 100% cotton Wrangler jeans that I bought had 7 loops. I've been shopping for new ones, and find that they now they come with only 5 loops. Same with Lee. Even Levi's for which you pay extra for the brand name, come with 5 loops. Talk about cutting corners. LL Bean comes...

    Future of facial recognition

    Question on Windows7 setup with SSD

    Almost 2 years since I upgraded my HD to an SSD on my laptop. A computer service did this for me. I am very happy about their service (and cost). But about six months later, I discovered that they hadn't turned off the OS defragger. So I did this. Out of curiosity I was wondering what else...
