Microsoft Access. I have one database that I need that's written in Access, and although I suppose I could convert it to some other system it would be a chore and I'm not that driven to make the change.

I've moved almost everything else onto Linux.

The market has given up about one year's gain, so people who have held diversified portfolios for longer than that haven't really "lost"anything.

Yet.

I'm going to a local protest tomorrow. If someone asks why I'm there I'll just say Jennie told me.

I like winter better. Things around here are often on fire during the summer.

Oh cool. Thanks for the explanation, and btw, that's much better than the Batman logo.

Vielen Dank!

I have a basic DP question.

After discovering the strip here, I went to the website and started reading it from the beginning. Jennie always has the same logo on her shirt. What is it? I'm pretty much out of the loop on that sort of thing.

I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

Self driving, too, provided you want to go where the horse wants to go.

No! Rilly?

The writer of the article is treating child rearing as if it requires PhD level child psychology. It doesn't.

A child's behavior is almost always ok if it is safe, non-destructive, legal, and NOT OFFENSIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME SPACE. It doesn't even matter if the other people's idea of "offensive" seems reasonable or not. If their children are bothering others, a responsible parent will either curb their behavior or take them elsewhere.

The writer apparently doesn't understand that last part.

History classes in the US cover WW2, but barely touch on the causes of WW2.

Ya, ain't that shit the truth?

Swear words are special words, that you shouldn't use just any fucking time you feel like it.

From Maryland, steamed blue claw crabs, or crab cakes if you don't want to pick the shells yourself. Also Chincoteague oysters. Or actually, just about any Chesapeake Bay seafood is great.

Bambi meets Godzilla is about 15 seconds long. It's opening credits and closing credits are about 10 minutes total.

That's wildly inaccurate, even as a rule of thumb. Upkeep (excluding storage, which varies widely by location) shouldn't be over 10% of the purchase price, unless the boat was really cheap or the boatyard doing the maintenance is crooked.

Talking US rates here, I have no experience overseas.

They especially remember bad people. It's ok to not like crows, but for your own good, never let them find out. Or always park your car in the garage.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but my mother did, based on childhood experiences. It sounded convincing to me as she told it.

Personally, as far as I can tell, when you're dead you're dead.

Not exactly an argument, but I once overheard a restaurant owner bribing a cop. It was an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. Kind of unsettling, but the food was great, and reasonably priced. 4 stars.
