I read that too… then took a step back and realized it was a journal notation made with a fountain pen (not a ball-point) so the scrawl was understandable. Legible… well that’s another matter.

I think so? (Am still running Mojave because I have 32-bit programs I use almost daily.)

At the most basic, it’s hand/eye coordination.

Talk to any educator that’s been teaching grade school children for a few decades. There’s a definite lack of finer motor control in children that haven’t been taught to write in cursive. That is one of the reasons that I keep seeing as an example when it’s brought up for consideration to be reinstated. (this is ancillary to the whole skilled craftsman/labor pivot that is finally being addressed!) Hand skills do make a difference.

NGL, my husband can’t write in cursive and his printing and other finer motor skills are shit. He cooks and I fix the cars and the electronics and help him with whatever projects that require nimble dexterity. I also have a bang up easy to read handwriting script AND can print like an engineer or draftsman. Both my parents made sure I could write cursive and print legibly. Mercilessly so…

I don’t even think it’s that: Given that cursive and handwriting as a general mode of commuication is all-but extinct - and for years hasn’t been taught in elementary schools, (thankfully that is changing, albeit slowly) there aren’t enough people that work in IT that grew up having to hand write papers to get traction on these projects.

In lieu of trees and shade, I’ve been told (by a woman that was almost 100 years old) that during a really miserable heat wave, (she hated being too hot) get into a basement or anyplace that has a first level that is in - not on - the ground.

NGL, I’ve been to that point, getting others to just let go of QuickTime and use VLC instead… LOL!

The '60s. It was the decade when fashion broke loose for younger Americans and they decided to wear clothes as a form of self expression, unlike decades earlier where clothing fashions were determined by social conformity.

Appears as if three are looking over the right shoulder of the photographer. Only one is looking straight into the lens.

That, and the color of the suits really isn’t helping.

I dunno… the Tiny Dish of the Chef’s Sincerity looks like it may be a banger of an item…

I think a lot of people also forget that there was a gamut of immune response to Covid… It ranged from no issues at all to dropping dead within a few weeks. At what point did the low oxygenation in those made just ill enough from Covid to end up with breating problems, also get a touch of mental decline from that as well?

I know a lot of people that seemed much quicker on the uptake and had more mental acuity before Covid… and historically I’d be the first one to take the position that I don’t know shit and usually have my head up my ass. Now, I’m the one that seems to have my shit together when so many no longer do.

WTF?

Dementia.

Everyone thinks it means all of the sudden you stand in the corner mumbling at the walls and wearing your underpants above your clothes… but it starts oftentimes years ahead of diagnosis with irrational, defiant, rash decisions that are put down to stubbornness and age.

Also, Trump IS terrified of ending up like his father, so in keeping with what he learned from Roy Cohn, it’s about keeping everyone around him off-balance so they can’t tell if it’s really mental impairment, or some “5D chess” move he’s making.

Ultimately, he probably at this point, doesn’t know himself. Part malignant narcissist, part desperate terror, part dementia and part self-delusiuon.

Apparently not.

Ah, okay. that makes sense, and is good to know.

Am I incorrect, but isn’t LinkedIn fairly useless as a site for finding new employment? From what I’ve read of it, it has devolved into just another mediocre social network with the full assortment of trolls, spammers and con-men.

…yaah, that was a puff piece for sure…

There’s a lot of that surrounding IT, unfortunately.

Probably. Given who the app was made for, should we really expect anything less?

Why on God’s Green would anyone be so fucking dumb as to utilize ANY computer app/program built and operated for the current administration.

Christ on a cracker… I read through to the last comment - nice touch that there’s a Huawei SDK in the mix. Oyyyy!

What utter cocksuckers. Every last person involved in this scheme deserves to be thrown into jail.
