America's Got Its First Black Woman Supreme Court Justice
Ketanji Jackson is the next Supreme Court Justice. They say first black SC Justice. Moments like this supposedly inspires people to become more aspirational. Obama's presidency is said to inspire a lot of younger people to be more aspirational. Personally, I don't care enough for whose at the top and mentoring and all that as I prefer self motivation.
The UGLY: Weirdo old white republiklans brought quite the clown car to the interview. Someone's got to put some term limits of these congress people. It really...

Will Smith is a Fool
Chris Rock's joke was funny and Willy Boy laughed. Karen-boi Willy took it too far when he decided to get up on stage to slap the Comedian. Rock handled the situation gracefully. Don't get me wrong though, the lead up to the slap was funny too, but that's only because of the energy Chris Rock exulted. Literally thought it was all planned.
Will Smith is a fool and should face a ban for it. We don't need a copycat Karen-boi slapping comedians when offended.

Growth and School
I think it was in high school that a Math Teacher had our class write reflections on our learning experience and it's something that's stuck to me these days. I mean I kept an electronic journal before that time so I had some experience with reflecting on a day and trying to stay on path to a goal. These days, I'll schedule one day to write into my, currently private, application reflection for that period of time based on whatever notes in that app (I got some ideas on how to improve that ability).
That bri...

Technical People are against putting "Political" Messages in their Face Until..
It hits home and they want to bring support to whatever cause they believe in.
It's funny how people repeat garbage they read on the internet. Such as how political messages of any kind should stay off Github repositories, open source project websites and whatever they frequent.
Now when new political issue affects them or someone they know, anyone not supporting or saying something about what they believe in is careless or must support the other side in some capacity. 'How dare said people not care about w...

TurboTax is Ass. Use TaxAct for Large Numbers of Transactions.
I used TurboTax last year for the first time and learned you had to attach hundred of pages of your trades to your federal tax filing via postal service. TurboTax, at that time, at least told me that the number of transactions was too much and I had to do it that way. I paid at least $20 to print (most of the cost) and mail.
This year, I thought I kept that number down and it accepted my imports, but as soon as I went to file there no ZERO indication that there would be a problem filing. I paid for TurboTax ...

Untenable Markets
Turbulence in markets is worse than certainty. If a company is certainly good or certainly bad you have a good idea of where it is going. With uncertainty, it gives pause to whether a company is worth investing in. The more uncertainty then the less inflows and more outflows which will drive the price down.
A country has many ways to invest in it, but the high volume ways are through stocks, bonds, Forex and real estate. All of these vehicles typically require a broker (exchange) who will most likely charge ...

Pootin's War of 20xx
There's lot of bad information out there especially coming out of the mouth of the horse (Putin).
Fact of the matter is that Russia desires to recreate the Soviet bloc and that definitely will put us at war with Russia.
- Ukraine has been a major target unlike the other smaller sections of the former bloc that were taken already.
- Russian soldiers are being put into a difficult situation especially given there is no purpose for the war, so I wouldn't be surprised if Russia goes through trouble taking Ukraine.

Arbery Murderers Convicted of Federal Hate Crimes Charges
Congrats to the people involved in securing this easy win against these vile hate filled pieces of garbage.
When the evidence of the defendants’ racism was finally laid out in court, it proved to be both voluminous and harsh, including numerous uses of racist epithets and racial insults. Along with video of Mr. Arbery gasping for his final breaths on the pavement and testimony that the defendants did not render aid to him, the government’s case seemed to take an emotional toll on jurors, some of whom co...
