My hack was to purchase a 2017 vehicle with a 5 speed manual transmission. I reckon 95% of would be thieves can’t easily drive it away!

Because regardless how you classify them, they are humans who deserve our empathy and compassion.

Sadly, this seems to be the case. Which means we the people, have lost control of our government.

Alfred Wegener as the initial author on the theory of plate tectonics comes to mind. He was a trained meteorologist who observed the similarities between geological formations betw…

Pretty good if they did it in a day. Encountered the same issue and it took me at least three days to resolve. The issue presented itself as a database table not updating.

OP here. These are some really great ideas here and I thank you.

Now that would be a fun hack, no? I bet with the collective knowledge from this thread I might be able to pull it off. I’m still working for the man, though. I recall a time that I…

Gary deWard Brown is the author and hence the name. If I recall, he also describes utilities like IEBGENER, IEBCOPY and so on. One copy of the book on Amazon was over $100.

Another thank you! I have choices

Thank you!

Great tip, thank you. Easy is relative. Lucky for me, I have kids who can get me going with a twitter account.

This! I was constantly looking to grab the next rung up on the career ladder. Having kids made me rethink my priorities on helping them mature into happy, productive members of soc…

You would be correct. Mine is "#1". I use compound english words whose meaning is non-sensical in a conversation but easy to remember.

> What you say feels to me as Joseph McCarthy has just sprung back to life. No need to go that far back in the history of the U.S. Government spying on it's own citizens. In the la…

I agree with your reasoning here. I'm genuinely interested in your interpretation of the idiom, "whistling in the dark". I have heard this as, "whistling in the wind", taken to imp…
