    1984 New Speak in a classroom near you .....

    Her presentation (falsely) assumes that that the entire world has adopted her viewpoint and that she has to educate those in the classroom on the correct etiquette. The reality is that her viewpoint only applies to that one classroom setting and it is being forced on the students. Consequently...

    Solved Wildcard IP address in phpMyadmin linked to MS Access

    You may be asking the "wrong" question. In my situation, the ability to login is established by the database, not phpMyadmin. Accessing phpMyadmin is accomplished through the browser. Based on your screenshot, you are apparently referring to MySQL, a database. Additionally, you are asking about...

    My membership expires in December. I will be sending an email, at that time, explaining why I am not renewing.

    Woke Culture Infecting Organizations Protecting Freedom of Speech

    Listened to the live-stream. The "umbrella" topic was one that virtually everyone can agree with. The protection of your privacy, protection of your digital data, growing criminalization, the expansion of surveillance, etc. The underlying theme however, was from the perspective of the "woke"...

    Am I the only one that switches ABBA off?

    For a while, I viewed the Bee Gees as a tired disco group. Then I saw a documentary on their history and I became very impressed. The ability to see all their work compiled into one presentation really added depth to their musicology...

    Am I the only one that switches ABBA off?

    Well you force me to retaliate with this. In the comedic movie "1,2,3" a loyal Communist is forced to admit to being a US spy after being tortured, over and over, by the song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini". (The clip below does not show some of the preceding "torture".)

    Should taxes be raised on the wealthiest people?

    Wealth is mobile. Those who are rich can simply move to another location that is more tax friendly to them. So - should they leave, they will no longer directly be involved and/or contribute to the economy. Moreover, there are issues of corruption and political orientation. One can view...

    Am I the only one that switches ABBA off?

    Fernando is another fantastic song. The theme of this song is worthy of a full length movie. As an aside: I was extremely disappointed that Top Gun: Maverick did not have Berlin's "Take My Breath Away"

    I like ABBA. Enjoy listening to it as an occasional music as part of Classic Rock.

    Cool gifts for Dad - ideas

    I just bought an internet radio. Like your dad, we live in a rural environment which means that the local radio stations tend to be junk. So, should your father enjoy listening to the radio and has internet access, than that may be a good gift.

    Boeing's Starliner???????

    The saga continues. The unfortunate downside of proprietary development. The Starliner was launched on June 5th and they are still up there, moths later. Fortunately there is room at the "inn"...

    Biden Ends Presidential Bid.

    Not obvious at all. Do you even read what those you assert to be MAGA aficionados post? As one example, @Isaac wrote: "In fact if you'd been paying attention: I've often said the opposite, I've said there are plenty of aspects of him that I don't care for, but I still very much want him to win...

    Democrats hacking the immigration system to get more votes

    This morning Fox News had Nicole Malliotakis (R, NY) on to discuss illegal immigrants and voting. She, of course, noted that illegal immigrants can't vote. Democrats of course point out with great fanfare and bluster that illegal immigrants can't vote which makes it a non-issue. But Malliotakis...

    Biden Ends Presidential Bid.

    I have only been casually following the Democratic convention. Based on the reporting of Fox News, it appears that the Democrats are silent concerning the plight of Israel and Democrats have openly expressed concern for the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. I understand that Biden never mentioned...
