Lorry ? Man, I like the way you brits talk... You should definitely visit and I’ll cook you a jacket potato…
If served after 6pm, make sure that it's the obligatory black tie dinner jacket, with tails... none of that working-class "aluminium" stuff.

If anyone has any uplifting news or stories to try and slightly lessen the impact of the godawful news in Texas, please feel free to share. I could sure use it.

I'm afraid anything I might say would be terribly cynical and definitely not uplifting. Anger is all I feel right now.
This was the twenty-seventh K-12 school shooting this year.
Any politician offering thoughts and prayers instead of doing something about such horror should (...)
... should rethink their priorities.

Even in the midst of tragedy, The Onion manages sheer brilliance. Great social commentary masquerading as gallows humour.

I used to post this article whenever this happened, but I can't even be bothered anymore. I'm tired of having to.

I'm having a Magnum Ice Cream Bar with vanilla ice-cream dipped in Belgian chocolate and almonds.
Avoiding the world news for a bit, Texas here, Ukraine there....I'd rather watch youtube videos about a UFO hiding in the Kuiper belt, watching us, waiting to invade....

Well, my MacBook Pro finally gave up the ghost. I tried reinstalling the OS but now it won’t even do that. It will hamper my posting pictures from my Imgur account for the time being while I get a replacement. I don’t know how to post them on my old iPad or my iPhone.

That stinks. Sorry to hear that. Best of luck with getting it sorted out.
Tech issues may be in the "First World Problem" category, but that doesn't make them any less annoying, or in this case, expensive.

While that is a great page, I also enjoyed the article that said it wasn't a lone wolf operation, but an action with 535 accomplices located in Washington D.C. It's perhaps a bit on the nose, but I'd dearly love to see every member of Congress attached to the murders like that in real life.

We are considering and doing preliminary research into expatriating for a number of reasons, but this horrific tragedy in Texas is the final straw. Lip service aside, it seems this country has determined this is an acceptable cost of living here, so we're not sure we want to live here anymore. Whether they approve directly or tacitly makes little difference if the end result is the same. My oldest is in school, and my youngest starts kindergarten in 2023. I don't feel good about sending them to school, and that is incredibly upsetting to realize.

At this point I can use my tablets to do all the things I do now. But I can’t figure out how to post pix from imgur using my iPhone or tablet.

The easiest way is to get rid of the Imgur app altogether if you have it. It is clunky and not useful for posting your own images. I got rid of the app and just access Imgur through their website in a separate tab, and use the usual copy & paste functions between browser tabs.

I don't know about the newer ones, but when I had a Macbook Pro a few years ago it was surprisingly easy to unscrew the bottom and pop in a new drive and do a clean install of OSX. Might be worth a try?

That’s an idea
