Well he’ll probably try to kill both Medicare & Social Security so he’ll see it as a net positive…

Thrown into private prisons then forced to work in those farm fields as a way for the private prison industry to make more profits.

Lots of houses/apartments in places like Boston, etc. have old, drafty windows that landlords don’t bother to improve. Lots of hardware stores here sell kits containing double-sided tape and sheets of a special type of plastic. You surround the window with tape, place the plastic over it, then use a hot hair dryer to shrink the plastic until it’s snug. You can hardly see the plastic if you do it right, and it does a great job of dealing with drafts.

That looks like it might have been an off switch for a very high voltage circuit. They tend to require a lot of effort to open or close, and I once saw the breaker for a 6 story office building break in a workers hand as he tried to engage it. Years of never being used can make such circuit breakers very iffy when the time comes to try to use them.

Personally I wouldn’t trust any sort of payment from that guy. I’d accept payment but still refuse new business from him until about 6 weeks after payment is received. That should provide ample time to verify the check doesn’t bounce, etc.

I’m 57. I can’t count the number of SMS messages from “pollsters” that I’ve ignored over the past few months. And if the huge number of unknown callers I haven’t bothered to answer is any indication, then I’ve ignored many dozens of pollsters that way as well.

After all, Trump did say you wouldn’t have to vote ever again.

I’ve also gotten SMS spam that looks like potential legitimate pollsters, but hell if I’ll click on them. Between all the obvious spam texts I’ve gotten over the years and the flood of political spam the past few months, I simply ignore and delete them all…

Exactly. I know somebody who died when a deer came through the windshield…

Wary why? I work remotely in IT and manage a ton of Linux systems with it. Because my company has a large number of remote employees they limit us to Windows or Macs only, and have pretty robust MDM, security, etc. installed on them. Since MacOS is built on top of a unix kernel it’s much more intuitive to manage other unix & linux systems with it.

Personally I haven’t used Windows really since before Windows 10 came out, and as the family tech support department I managed to switch my wife, parents, brother, and mother in-law all to Mac’s years ago as well.
