Today is my birthday. I am one of those people who enjoys a little fussing over my birthday. I am going to work (I like my job).
Send me a picture of something you like (pet, nature, headline, gif, food, book, I am not particular)?

We vote by mail here in WA and I have zero idea why it should be required to use a secrecy sleeve. If I don't care if someone sees my vote why does it matter. It's the stupidest reason possible
Anticor retrouve son agrément pour se porter civil dans les affaires de corruption. Le Premier ministre démissionnaire a signé l'un de ces derniers actes avant son départ de Matignon, ce matin. Le juge administratif l'avait condamné à prendre une décision sous 24h sous peine d'astreinte. Pied de nez à Macron ou volonté de s'afficher sur le sujet pour la suite?

Few days ago I was talking with my Hardware geek friend. He was asking if I prefer a PC with two monitors and thus one workspace or 2 PCs with 2 monitors, mice and keyboards and thus two distinct workspaces. I said there is a third option if you are a Linux user: 1 PC, 2 video cards, 2 mice, 2 keyboard, and 2 monitors and 2 distinct workspaces but all having access to the same stuff. He was impressed and with laugh said I've made the situation (of choice) worse :D
The FloorBoard — a DIY Foot Operated PC Button Pad
The FloorBoard would be useful for people with limited use of their hands hence the inclusion in the Assistive Tech channel. For example, using the foot button for ‘Control’ means that just one finger is required for ‘Copy’ (Ctrl C). This avoids the necessity of using Sticky Keys (an accessibility feature in Windows designed to assist users who may have difficulty holding down multiple keys simultaneously).
It may even appeal to gamers where it could emulate foot controls such as car and aircraft pedals. Many games requite a forward and reverse action, and I must say I do find the WASD buttons a bit difficult to move quickly with in the heat of battle.

Not the "ruling class" the rich. Just say the rich. Or if you want to be fancy, the oligarchs or the plutocrats. If you want to play around with the words a little the oil-igarchs (since much of the money in Texas comes from oil).
But just say RICH. It doesn't matter if you're white or male, you're still not the "ruling class" unless you are RICH.
Trump helps the rich, and hurts everyone else in order to do so.

so yes it's largely a block with focus on economy... not so much democracy? X-D en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European…
all it did for it's citizens is abolish abhorrent roaming phone costs (Swiss still charges them because they are not EU) focusing only on economic issues is imho stupid and dumb as the whole thing then has no "soul" of "let's make the world better"
