    My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

    I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

    But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.


  • The reason this is allowed is because Arizona, like many other states, doesn’t require religious leaders to report instances of abuse to law enforcement if they learned about it through an act of confession. That’s not true everywhere. If a public school teacher learned that a student was being abused at home, that teacher has a legal obligation to tell the student’s counselor (who can take appropriate action). But not pastors. Not bishops. Not priests. If someone tells them a secret, believing it will remain a secret, then the law allows those leaders to keep it a secret, even if people are getting hurt.

    I guess that’s enough internet for today…








  • I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe “we” need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.

    Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it


  • LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Volvo Cars (VOLCARb.ST) said on Tuesday that it will end production of any remaining diesel models by early 2024 as it heads towards becoming an all-electric carmaker.

    “In a few months from now, the last diesel-powered Volvo car will have been built, making Volvo Cars one of the first legacy car makers to take this step,” the Swedish company said in a statement.

    Majority owned by China’s Geely (0175.HK), Volvo has committed to going fully electric by 2030.

    While a majority of the cars Volvo sold in Europe were diesel as recently as 2019, in 2022 they made up just 8.9% of the Swedish carmaker’s sales.

    In August 33% of Volvo’s sales were fully-electric or hybrid models. The company did not break out how many of the remaining 67% combustion-engine models were diesel and how many ran on petrol.

    Sales of diesel models have declined rapidly in Europe since Volkswagen’s (VOWG_p.DE) emission-cheating scandal and carmakers have been gradually reducing the number of diesel models available in their model lineups.

    Diesel vehicles comprised more than 50% of Europe’s new car sales in 2015, but accounted for just over 14% of sales in July






  • In the case of Ames, yes there was.

    From Wikipedia

    The CIA also realized that, despite Ames’ annual salary being $60,000, he could afford:

    A $540,000 house in Arlington, Virginia, paid for in cash

    A $50,000 Jaguar luxury car

    Home remodeling and redecoration costs of $99,000

    Monthly phone bills exceeding $6,000, mostly calls by Ames’ wife to her family in Colombia

    Premium credit cards, on which the minimum monthly payment exceeded his monthly salary

    In March 1993, the CIA and FBI began an intensive investigation of Ames that included electronic surveillance, combing through his trash and the installation of a monitor in his car to track his movements. From November 1993 until his arrest, Ames was kept under virtually constant physical surveillance. When, in early 1994, he was scheduled to attend a conference in Moscow, the FBI believed it could wait no longer, and he and his wife were arrested on February 21



  • Not OP, but here are my 2 cents. You can’t really go wrong with that degree imho. Even if you only land an entry level job at the beginning, you can quickly advance from there. You just to have keep learning.

    If you haven’t done so already, get a raspberry pi, install docker, get used to how it works. Destroy everything, start over. Get another pi, learn kubernetes.

    You can stand out and succeed if you can learn and adapt to new technologies. The system doesn’t matter, it’s how you approach it.

    Beat of luck to you!
