Where "tanning" = "sitting in the sun". Can you call it tanning if you stay totally white regardless?

If people near you begin shouting "Gondor Calls for Aid" then I recommend baby oil instead of sun screen.

Quote of the day right there.

Measles cases triple globally in 2019, says UN

The number of measles cases reported worldwide in the first three months of 2019 has tripled compared with the same time last year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The UN body said provisional data indicated a "a clear trend", with all regions of the world seeing outbreaks.

World deemed "too stupid" to be healthy.

Darwinism?

Can we just "Darwinize" all the anti-vaxxer parents already and take their children away from them so they can grow up healthy?

(I mostly want to execute the anti-vaxxers and other scientifically illiterate folks)

That is an aggressive thing to say. What it sounded like to me was "I want all the people who don't agree to be killed and their rights as parents to be taken away." We don't even kill people who actively harm children in our society. What makes those who are potentially passively harming their children so much worse?

Those same parents are actively harming other people's children; That's the difference.

No, they are potentially, passively harming other people's children. Even so, advocating for the execution of them when we do not execute people who do actively kill other people's children seems extreme. I'm not injecting an opinion on vaccinations, but on the violence of the sentiment.

Youtube Video

Just watched this for the fist time. Just reinforcing that Disney does not understand StarWars.

Since I'm not exactly a fan of Star Wars anyway, what does Disney not understand?

The difference between the Dark Side and Light Side and living forever. They used to be very different.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Whether or not @travisdh1 knows what he is talking about, he is right that at least Rian Johnson has no idea what Star Wars is about, and possibly a good chunk of Disney involved in the sequels.

I would point the blame more towards the writers and directors.

He is the writer and director of at least TLJ: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0426059/.

@Kelly Ability to theme and it needs to look professional. That is basically it.

What kind of information are you presenting, or is it only the file access thing?

Most of it is external links, but we do store some documentation in regards to policies and procedure. It's sort of a one stop shop for all information that an employee would need.

Are you paying extra for SharePoint or is it included in an O365 plan that isn't going to change even if you go to a different solution?

We pay for O365 but it's only for a few hundred users and I think we may move away from it. Not sure yet.

Well, you can go to a different plan and drop any Sharepoint. Right now O365 is one of the most inexpensive email providers, particularly since Google raised their prices. I know that this discussion might not seem germane to your question, but if you're already paying for something that includes Sharepoint for no additional cost it might be your best option.

I think we will drop O365 (I'm not involved) and my boss specifically does not want to go with sharepoint IF we can have something that can fulfill our needs. I just want to experiment with my options and create some demo's for him to look at so I can go over the positives and negatives of each.

We may end up still going with it, it just depends on what is out there.

That makes sense. I am not sure what to recommend. Most of my experience is with making Sharepoint work since it is included for no additional cost when the orgs that I've worked with have needed other licenses.

Intranet can mean a lot of different things. Is there anything else you need aside from file storage and accessibility?

Yeah, it just sits at the LI logo with a bar going back and forth.

There is more nuance in the article than the title, "Facebook Is Just Casually Asking Some New Users for Their Email Passwords", might suggest, but this is never ok imo.

I'm not watching it now, but I'm going to be fitting in Avengers: Infinity War here soon. Need to get it done before Marvel moves off of Netflix entirely.

Well, already got a callback on one of the phone interviews for an in person next week. Amazingly, the HR person read an article that I wrote in 2015 and complimented me on it.
