If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Firstly, welcome to the community! I see you just joined today, and straightaway made your first post here. Congratulations! I would recommend though, editing your message to contain something worthy of reading...a bit about you maybe and what brought you here.

Yesterday, I took the day off work to spend with my 10 year old daughter at the Special Olympics. As a parent of a special needs child, I see how hard they work to get what they have and we celebrate every victory every athlete has.
While my daughter has been involved for years, it was mostly skills clinics, not competitions. This year, she was competing in her age group for softball thrown and standing long jump.
At the end of the day, I asked her what the best part was: getting her ribbon for placing 4th in softball throw. While she did better in standing long jump, it was her the first athletic award she received that meant the most. It was something she earned, not just a participation ribbon.
As someone who did well in track-and-field at her age, I see her work much harder than I ever had to and she is much more appreciative than I ever was.

That's a good story in a week with a lot of bad news.
Well done to her and what a good attitude.

Congratulations to both of you!
I'm a runner. My greatest admiration at races goes not to the winners up front, but to the slobs (like myself) who chug along and finish in twice the time of the winners. It takes guts and a certain lack of mental stability to go out and spend five hours or more on a marathon course, when you know the winners finished in two hours and change.

Oracle lobs copyright lawsuit at HPE | InfoWorld[^]
Headline: Oracle says HPE was involved in an illegal scheme to sell Solaris support services to Oracle customers
The case involves an area of the tech industry known as third-party maintenance and support, in which customers buy support services from a third party for less than they would normally pay their primary vendor.
Can't we all just get along!?

Can we make it so they both lose?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Seriously, I can sign up for a 12 week class at Hack Reactor and became a "software engineer." What ever the elephanting that is....

12 weeks?
Seems like a long time in the Internet-age.
Shouldn't take more than 12 days.
I could probably just Google the stuff on my iPhone and become a software engineer.

Good point. If it's on there, it must be true.

No, I'm talking beginners course. In that one you select the text using the mouse.
CTRL+A is covered in the Advanced course!

Yes, that really is Amber Riley and Rikki Lake backing Michael Hyatt in a Dream Girls pastiche[^]. Oh, I know all you butch coders won't get it but some days you just have to praise whichever Lord you happen to think worthy of it and sing Hallelujah for good old TV!

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
