Yeah...the cloud is very secure and reliable. I'm glad I got out of the business January 2019. There are banks and credit unions running production databases in the cloud now. Including the one I left.

NYT Editor should be drug out of his building in handcuffs and sent to Rikers. He or his people committed a felony.

For crying out loud...I'm honestly looking forward to the great culling this fall/winter. Most all my friends and relatives are already gone, so I can actually enjoy you idiots choking to death on your own phlegm.

He behaves like a person with multi-infarct dementia. Paranoid delusions can be a feature.

Don't forget Lewy Body dementia...

Visual hallucinations. Hallucinations may be one of the first symptoms, and they often recur. They may include seeing shapes, animals or people that aren't there. Sound (auditory), smell (olfactory) or touch (tactile) hallucinations are possible.

Movement disorders. Signs of Parkinson's disease (parkinsonian signs), such as slowed movement, rigid muscles, tremor or a shuffling walk may occur. This can also result in falls.

Poor regulation of body functions (autonomic nervous system). Blood pressure, pulse, sweating and the digestive process are regulated by a part of the nervous system that is often affected by Lewy body dementia. This can result in dizziness, falls and bowel issues such as constipation.

Cognitive problems. You may experience thinking (cognitive) problems similar to those of Alzheimer's disease, such as confusion, poor attention, visual-spatial problems and memory loss.

Sleep difficulties. You may have rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, which can cause you to physically act out your dreams while you're asleep.

Fluctuating attention. Episodes of drowsiness, long periods of staring into space, long naps during the day or disorganized speech are possible.

Depression. You may experience depression sometime during the course of your illness.

Apathy. You may have loss of motivation.

Sound like any president you know?

Trump is like Hitler.

I'm going to disagree, because Adolph Hitler served with some distinction in WWI, and demonstrably cared about his country at some point. Yes I'm cherry picking, but you can't even do that with tRump.

"From August 7 through 14, 2020, a total of 365,979 people attended the event"

Damn, that's a lot of bikers.

Most of them are stupid enough to pay a premium for 40 year old technology - fat stupid Harley lovers. "but my bike's got sooouuull". -------. [...]

Trump wants his United States to look like North Korea.

On the bright side, there would be a huge drop in obesity :)

A sock puppet calling out an alleged sock puppet. Isn't that cute.

Aren't you adorable :)

Do you enjoy golden showers as much as your idol? The amazing Golden Gracieamazed wants to know :)

Lol @ twin pack. What a bunch of ----.

I'll call it - obvious sock puppet is obvious.

But which maroon is it ?

---- Bernie! I hope Trump wins.

You must be a troll, no one is as stupid as you pretend to be :)

RIP. GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT.

Channeling Sniper Redlight? Lol!!!

Too many words with too many syllables...and there is punctuation. Clearly not channeling snively :)

That 10-22 doesn't get really scary until you put a folding stock on it :)

2 to 3% of America is right around seven to ten million people.

Acceptable losses to the GOP.

Of those who survive, how many with permanent disabilities? I'm not going to say it, you can.

Just what I want - 40 year old POS technology that's still too expensive at bargain basement prices. HD are crap - they had a chance with the V-ROD but predictably blew it. I'm just looking forward to fewer retreads on the road so it's maybe safer to ride.

Here's an idea - they're only finding them because there a far fewer people flying. The actual number of carry on fire arms may not be much higher than before, it's just that it's easier to find them.

Where is "Golden Gracieamazed" ? This right up his alley :)

It's almost like there is some kind of conspiracy...but that's not possible. There are no conspiracies.

Right?

Removal by MQ-9 Reaper would be a lot more entertaining :)

The White House can be rebuilt.

If there were any actual patriots in the US military, there would be tanks rolling on Washington DC. But there aren't, and the fate of the US will ultimately be the same as the Third Reich. But the death toll will be astonishingly higher.

I thought the movie was good - even though it combined the stories from the first two books Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. I think movies should stand on their own and not be too harshly compared to the literary works they may be based on. A movie will never match what plays out in our heads when we read a book.

It's all a matter of personal preference of course...
My top favorites will not be everyone else's top favorites.
RCADE asks for some suggestions, that's all. He's probably read almost everything we've suggested. I have, but I'm old. I've got boxes SF books, and Analog going back into the 1970's.

Favorites are still:

Childhood's End
The Songs of Distant Earth
Dune series

And practically anything else SF

If we're going to go way back...
