Well, they do say ignorance is bliss...
I recommended someone to stop following the news and Facebook just yesterday.
The media made her anxious and scared, first pandemics, caused by huge conspiracies, pedophile networks consisting of people in the highest places, the Chinese threat, and now a glooming (nuclear) World War III...
Facebook was feeding her all kind of conspiracy theories, one more ludicrous than the other, and because she clicked them, Facebook gave her more.
Not saying all of it is true (like Bill Gates causing COVID for profit and power), but she believes so
And to be honest, the reason I believe kids are happier than adults is because they don't watch the news

You had never heard of the 'pound me too' movement?!?!?!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Yeah, I kinda liked the "Clickbait Headline" look of the clue myself!

If on-clint(7) or some other acronym meant outstanding, I would have had it!
I am not sure about outstanding == classic?

I raise you "The operation cannot be performed because the message has been changed." when you want to save or send a draft in Outlook.
Only solution I found so far is to copy your message, close the message, open a new message and paste everything, save or send, delete the draft that saved some old version.
Not copying your message will result in (parts of) your email being lost

Nuclear russian roulette with creaky soviet subs in unknown waters.

So far, it looks very much like the 20th century. Same sh*t, different actors.

It's easy to take for granted those uneventful, average kind of days.
It's hard to guess what the next WTF event will be on a personal or global level.
On one hand history repeats itself, on the other, things can change rapidly.
No, not boring.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Meh.
I don't really lose any sleep over the idea that mankind may be closer to annihilation than at any time in the past.
We just now live in a world where the media's job is to constantly remind us of it.

I found out about my last bonus via payroll before getting an official notice from my manager. That's something else though... 🍞💩🍞
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

tacky - but they re-did my mortgage after ridiculous hoop jumping. I blame this on the feds.
Many years ago, DEC was tossing people. I know of two people that were in the field and received voice mail...
There was a very high level support team that got laid-off - their answering message was something like "Well, we've all been let go, yada yada, we hope the best for you. Bye."
Best advice I ever got from two VPs: 1)"Remember this is not how you run a company." 2) "Sometimes, the best thing you can do for a person is fire them."

My understanding is that honey doesn't spoil. Is this strictly a marketing ploy?

To avoid disrespect to the bees.

Bottled honey can crystalize, and the best by date is based on how fast this occurs. You can decrystalize honey by putting it in the sun or in warm water.
