I think he's playing with fascism just to play. The President is all about image, why just look at his hair. It's so luxurious. He's not only playing the Left, he's playing the Right. For the sake of just being able to do it. Because it satisfies him.

More like "hey look, he stopped his motorcade to shake hands with fire, ems, and police on the side of the road. He's a class act and you'll never see CNN report this stuff." That's what I see from my Mom's (a baby boomer) Facebook feed a lot.

So, what are all of you kind folks (I actually should include myself as a somewhat moderate conservative who despises Trump and co) who are speaking out about the rise of the new fascists going to do about it? Griping every day on a forum that is largely your own echo chamber is accomplishing nothing, except maybe giving you enough catharsis to continue another day...griping.

Looking at backup and secondary storage refresh for the enterprise. Currently exploring Cohesity, Rubrik, and Avamar/Data Domain (sigh, the Dell/EMC one was handed down to me from above). What do you guys use or have experience with?

I wonder how different our society would be without Twitter and Facebook?

Saw Solo over the weekend and loved it. A-. My 14 year old daughter said it was one of the best movies she's seen, and she's seen all of them. But maybe she just thinks the actor is handsome.

Nope, don't do any work with local gov.

They just took an existing genre and changed the players to kids and cops, instead of soldiers or other random adult characters. Let that settle in as you (or a school kid) are playing one of the most popular games in the world, Fortnite Battle Royale. I'm becoming more and more against first person shooters and violent video games as I get older.

What the heck? Can't believe somebody would make this game. Wait, yes I can. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/05/27/active-shooter-video-game-prompts-outrage-in-wake-mass-shootings.html

Wish the chart went back to the 90's or 80's even. 3453 in 2005 compared to 3184 in 2016, second only to Texas in overall quantity of gun deaths (high population factor). Still, that's an 8% decrease over 11 years, when I'm sure the population has also increased.

Fellow IT folks and decision makers, I'm trying to build a decision tree or flow chart of some sort that will include decisions on types of equipment (servers, routers, WAN op, etc) and specs etc. for deploying a remote/branch office. So if we open a new office of 25-100 people, what equipment would be in the standard kit? Questions might include: Do they have a need to store data? Type? Size? Average file size? Stored locally or at HQ site? What size circuit? Not looking to re-invent the wheel. Anybody got anything to share?

removal of mandatory minimum sentences. Particularly in drug-related offenses. The link in the first post is very good. Takes about 3-5 minutes to read.

I did briefly look at it, but not in detail. You make a good point. And withdrawalling from society is not a good solution, but neither is living in fear and letting it dictate your actions.

134 Democrats supported it in the House.

Figured since I couldn't find a thread for this in my search, I'd start one. Looks like the House passed the FIRST STEP Act. I can understand both sides of the debate over it, wanting sentencing reform or getting it done progressively a piece at a time. I am more toward the latter. https://www.themarshallproject.org/2018/05/22/is-the-first-step-act-real-reform

AS I was thinking about this thread last night, and the polarized discord within our nation, I kept humming this song. Still applies today. Except, now we have Twitter too.

I guess people have fallen for the "if you can't beat'em, join'em."

As much as he disgusts me I have to agree. But that is what they wanted to hear even though it was as you said. People want to love him or want to hate him. He's that polarizing and weirdly charismatic to many. And knows exactly what he's doing. Sometimes I wonder if he wants people to hate him? We can't know for certain.

He doesn't start anything. He just retweets what he sees on Foxnews.

Must watch... one of the greatest clips in TV history and so appropo to today's information world.

I think they should just go back to how it was prior to 2008 or whatever. Don't come out on the field at all until after it is played. Curious question: for London games, do they play/sing God Save the Queen?

This ain't Star Wars, be careful with trusting your feelings and/or confusing them for knowledge.
