Keep it Republicans. Can't wait for Republican men to complain to their wives about the possibility of a woman becoming President, especially a black woman. Their hate will turn into their spouses rebelling against them.
Israel will drag America into more wars unless this stops now.
Sometimes in the gorge we get really windy days. One of these fires on a windy day after a dry spell could be one of the worst disasters in human history.
Kudos to you. I hope Democrats can continue to put voters interests above their own.
You know, I have to give you credit for admitting you were wrong. That takes courage and self-reflection. If Democrats can continue doing that, then they'll beat Trump in a landslide.
Republicans aren't interested in girls that have started their periods.
The more you pay, the harder you get ducked.
He didn't. They are gaslighting you now trying to make it seem like this was the plan all along. People hate Trump and they unite behind that and end up voting blue no matter who. They'll end up in this mess time and time again though until people make Democrats change else stop voting for them. You don't help someone addicted to drugs by giving them money everytime they ask.
The problem is that they then pretend like they never acted that way & are going to great lengths to cover up that they ever did.
What happened to all the Democrats saying only Joe could win?
Democrats can't even remember Kamala ruining lives over marijuana. They are desperate for her to be their savior now they can't even remember just a week ago they were saying only Joe could win it.
There isn't evidence that he raped a child. The media investigated and found that the people trying to sell the story were not credible. I don't like Trump either but to make accusations like child rape without a conviction is bad faith. At least argue in good faith.
Democrats said it was fine that Joe Biden supported segregation cause he had changed. Were Democrats arguing in had faith? Should we not trust Kamala since she destroyed lives over marijuana?
Were you planning on voting for Joe Biden?
What exactly is she getting?
Free the weed Kamala.
Have you never heard of the Court of Appeals?
President Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, a stunning decision that will send Democrats scrambling to find a replacement to take on former President Donald Trump in November.
CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem
This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why – people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information.
Robust disaster recovery plans, including automated processes to remotely reboot and remediate thousands of machines, aren't revolutionary. They're basic hygiene, especially when considering the potential consequences of a breach. Yet, this incident highlights a systemic failure across many organizations. While CrowdStrike erred, the real culprit is a culture of shortcuts and misplaced priorities within corporate IT.
Too often, companies throw millions at vendor contracts, lured by flashy promises and neglecting the due diligence necessary to ensure those solutions truly fit their needs. This is exacerbated by a corporate culture where CEOs, vice presidents, and managers are often more easily swayed by vendor kickbacks, gifts, and lavish trips than by investing in innovative ideas with measurable outcomes.
This misguided approach not only results in bloated IT budgets but also leaves companies vulnerable to precisely the kind of disruptions caused by the CrowdStrike incident. When decision-makers prioritize personal gain over the long-term health and security of their IT infrastructure, it's ultimately the customers and their data that suffer.
Anyone else have their account terminated or got through to support?
About a month ago I got a notification that my subscription had been refunded and then another email that my account was terminated:
> You are receiving this email because we have identified suspicious activity on your account. In order to protect our platform, we have refunded and canceled your subscription. You will no longer have access to ChatGPT Plus service.
This was after using the service for two months. I emailed and sent them a message almost immediately since I could prove my identity, but they haven't responded back in almost a month. Their customer support appears to be non-existent.
I keep wanting to sign back up, but I'm still pissed about it. I'm guessing it is because I used a virtual card when I signed up and they don't stay active for very long so I have to create a new one for each month of service. Usually I just get a failed payment notification and update my payment info with a new one which pulls from my bank account.
It sucks not being able to use the service though because it was so helpful at helping with programming tasks and Bard isn't nearly as good. Has anyone had any luck getting through to support?
The Clark County Council unanimously approved body-worn cameras for the sheriff's office at its regular meeting Wednesday.
Glad to see some improvement. I still don't trust the department, but they're making progress.
Vancouver Police Chief Jeff Mori released the footage of three Vancouver police officers on Friday.
Such a tragic incident! Glad to see the police wearing body cams though.
