I was fairly young, but I do remember using Windows 95 or 98 with Netscape and there were popups that had to be killed through the task manager (or equivalent, it was 30 years ago, so I don’t remember precisely).

Back on Windows 95 through XP, each individual window was a process that could be killed in Task Manager, and popups opened in a new window.

Time to prepare is very important because we have crap labor laws. It can be very hard for people to get time off work and missing a day can be very painful. For folks living paycheck to paycheck, missing a day of pay means missing a rent payment or not being able to afford food. In a lot of jobs, time off is very limited, even for illness, and is highly likely to be unpaid.

The robber barons have done an extremely good job at nailing our bootstraps in the pits of Tartarus through debt and indenture.

It was using secretions from cowpox lesions as protection from smallpox. Cowpox is a similar, but much less dangerous pathogen, so it conferred some cross-immunity without risking actual smallpox infection.

I think the adults in the room at Tesla saw it coming which is why they came with a contract that forbids the sale of the swasticars for a period of time after the initial purchase.

90% mortality rate for pregnant women.

There are a variety of jobs available, and I’ve seen some workers with physical disabilities or older workers that aren’t very strong working things like the register or the administrative things like the return counter. For the most part, everything arrives on pallets that are moved around with forklifts anyways. Unless you’re in the butcher, baker, or display departments, there probably isn’t that much physical labor involved.

What are the qualification requirements besides paying the membership fee?

I’m pretty sure the Twin Cities metro is north of Toronto as well which would mean most of the population of Minnesota is north of most of the population of Canada.

Hey now…South Canada already refers to Minnesota. Y’all can get your own new nickname.

Trump has had a lot of nasty things to say about Minneapolis after BLM.

We really should just tax the ever-loving fuck out of them or evict them to Texas or something.

I came here to say this. I’m not entirely sure I would object all that much.

This is a very grim subject, but this is going to be a growing problem in many areas of the world. If your personal belief system and culture permits it, you should consider lower-impact burial options such as cremation. There are options for water-based dissolution “cremation” now in addition to the traditional incendiary variety.

This video by Caitlin Doughty (Ask A Mortician on Youtube) talks about some of the new, eco-friendly options, and this playlist has a bunch of videos about practical death questions.

I think there are some that have clauses about dying during the commission of a crime.

Many life insurance policies simply do not pay out in the case of suicide.

They’re trying SO HARD to make it look like a fringe, extremist position instead of the groundswell of righteous fury that it is.

A good legal defense will prevent them from just throwing the book at him for trumped up charges and/or sentencing guidelines. Cops commit more heinous crimes than this and get a slap on the wrist at best, and regular rich white people get cushy, minimal sentences. Without public outcry and legal defense to intervene, they probably would have tried to get him on outright terrorism charges to throw him away for life without parole. (There’s a bunch of white nationalists and Nazis that need to catch that sentence, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for Luigi)

I have seen snippets in the news saying that his family has disavowed him and cut him off so he effectively no longer comes from a rich family unless they change their minds.

Well, they’re not making it easy to find and it’s being funded by angry poor people. There’s probably not a lot of wealthy big donors on this one.
