Right after the Biden admin goes after Sheetz for discrimination against blacks by weeding out criminals we have this

Quote
Circle K Inc., which operates more than 7,000 convenience stores discriminated against LGBT job seekers  - specifically gay men and trans-women - by automatically weeding out applicants who had been convicted of child sex crimes, according to U.S. officials.
Quote
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit in Baltimore against Orland, Florida-based Circle K and two subsidiary companies, alleging the chain’s longstanding hiring practices have a disproportionate impact on LGBT applicants and thus run afoul of federal civil rights law.

Circle K said Thursday that it “did not realize that gay men and trans-woman were the primary perpetrators of sexual violence against children" and that "they would do better".

APC Backups 450

Can't remember how much I paid, but it was below $100 each - my pockets aren't that deep.  Got 3 of them, one runs the LED TV & Roku, one has the Spectrum modem, router & print server, the last one handles the 2 laptop power supplies & the base station for the home phone.  They've all held up to an hour and a half power outage. 

ETA:  I haven't looked inside these units, but other APC's I've had the battery was super easy to replace.

The primary desktop currently has 386GB used -- I try to keep the #1 spare desktop as close to this as possible, so it's about the same. The two primary laptops are probably about 150GB each.

All unique stuff, unique to each computer?  How much is duplication? Do you need to be able to retrieve prior versions of stuff?  If you need to do that, how long might you need to go back.  Is "bare metal recovery" a think you might need to do?

Backup means different things to different people in different situations.

The Mess Hall / Re: Fish question

Did you go 30 minutes due to use of raw or uncooked meats in your stuffing? I would think that's way too long for fish, at least a thin filet of sole or other light meat fish. Higher heat and a shorter cooking time is better. It's been a long time since I made stuffed anything-fish, but I don't recall cooking times being more than fifteen or twenty minutes, tops.

If your stuffing consists of things already cooked and/or serve-ready, all you really need to worry about is getting the sole properly cooked. The stuffing only needs warmed to a palatable eating temp.

The Mess Hall / Fish question
« Last post by Hawkmoon on April 23, 2024, 12:28:20 PM »
I tried making stuffed filet of sole. Came out with the fish a bit dried out and almost crusty. I baked uncovered at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Any secrets to ensuring that everything is cooked thoroughly, without overcooking the outside of the filets? Would covering or wrappin in aluminum foil help? Does that change the cooking time?

I thought it was the Arsenio Hall show. 

Clinton also was pretty good at ignoring the "scandal" stuff that surrounded him and playing the "good old boy from Arkansas" act.  IMO, Obama copied that act in his own way projecting the image he wanted and running as an intelligent moderate regardless of what his actual record was.

And it doesn't hurt when the majority of the MSM is for all intents and purposes working for your campaign.

Clinton won in large part because he played a sax on the Tonight Show.  The JFK-Nixon televised debate. Underestimating Charisma and stage presence has bitten the R's before.

Do the Dems have any younger, smart candidates?  Tulsi is the only one I can think of and she has been pushed out.  Most all the other choices I have seen are sort of brainless and probably wouldn't hold up unless running against someone spineless like Mitt Romney (or other establishment candidate). 

Newsome is a threat not to be underestimated

Also in fairness, Rs will also vote on appearance. A pretty boy who wore a trident will always get votes on that, even if he turns out to be a prog.
