Great comic. I read it weekly.

I catch it every update. I only read 3-4 regularly. My daily list used to be larger but they've either ceased, like Schlock Mercenary, or I've lost the bookmarks over time/pc upgrades. These days, it's Goblins, Devil's Panties, Grrl Power, and Questionable content. I think my list used to be around 15 at one point.

CBS Dallas / Fort Worth: Rockwall Woman Shot, Killed As She Arrived To Work In Carrollton.

Did she refuse to wear a mask?

It's Texas, so probably.

More likely here you'd be shot FOR wearing a mask.

I'd wear my mask more. And I'd probably integrate a Biden sticker. Because it really shows how strong a person is when they go after someone with an obviously disabled arm/hand and I'll take any excuse to put a scump supporter in jail, forcing them to lose the right to vote, which their party demanded.

re-purposing an old 2012 server that ran as a DC and with RDS.
working on it remotely, demoted the DC and it reboots, can't log back in remotely, everything else looks fine, no way to get back in.
1.75 hour round trip to find that I should have removed the RDS role prior to the DC, removed RDS and all good.

You could've done that with

enter-pssession server

And then, depending on the server, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/remotedesktop/remove-rdserver or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/remotedesktop/remove-rdsessionhost.
A properly configured WinRM gpo is invaluable, and it should be among the first thing you configure for working remotely.
But you know this, right?

Presidential debate: Trump and Biden trade insults in chaotic debate

President Donald Trump and his challenger Joe Biden have fiercely clashed in one of the most chaotic and bitter White House debates in years.
Mr Trump frequently interrupted, prompting Mr Biden to tell him to "shut up" as the two fought over the pandemic, healthcare and the economy. The US president was challenged over white supremacist support and refused to condemn a specific far-right group. Opinion polls suggest Mr Biden has a steady single-digit lead over Mr Trump. But with 35 days until election day, surveys from several important states show a closer contest. Polls also suggest one in 10 Americans have yet to make up their mind how to vote. But analysts said Tuesday night's debate - the first of three - probably would not make much difference.

Close polling doesn't sound good for the Biden camp. Remember what the polling looked like in 2016? And then remember how that turned out.

I can't remember reading that the polling companies have changed the way they do their polling. If they haven't, they're likely going to be wrong. Again.

The constant reports of polls led to voter apathy, so the attitude for many was, "I don't need to vote; others will do it for me." Everyone has to vote or else democracy fails.

They're like a waffle cone, but less sugar. Google it.

And I thought the guy who tested the rectal thermometers had a tough job!

The company that was caught doing this is in a very sticky situation. It's going to be very hard for them to escape the charges. I read that the evidence against them weighs as much as a child.
