I work at a university that is also part of a state system with their own rules (also driven by federal regulations).

You’re conflating the government coming on campus and exerting the power of the law with universities having to comply with said laws. And yes, universities will comply because they have no choice.

Also make sure you follow your swing through for maximum impact. If you stop swinging once the bat makes contact, you’re stopping the force used to drive those home runs.

Yes and no. The money given to universities is mostly earmarked for very specific things, as designated by those who donate the money. It’s not like they have a huge tower of gold that they can swim in to their liking. They have a lot of oversight and auditing to make sure money goes where it’s suppose to. And if they want to keep their many accreditations - and they do - then they need that money to jump through whatever hoops their accreditors require.

This is not just because of the Trump administration. If a university wants federal money, it has to follow certain rules for that money. Its not as symbiotic as you would think. The government can fund research from other, non-academic, institutions.

It makes sense that the rules aren’t arbitrary; e.g., university must accommodate the ADA. But, as we’re seeing these days, nothing stops them from imposing new rules; e.g., Executive Order 13985.

Goddamnit. Hasn’t anybody learned anything from Hollywood? Sequels and reboots most always suck worse than the originals.

Plus, why is his employer pretending he never existed?

Any university that accepts federal funds is beholden to the federal government. And since universities need that money, they will do everything they can to keep Big Brother happy.

As a Mac user, I like Time Machine for backups. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. There is a Linux version.

Nb. I’ve not used this particular software, so YMMV.

I see that jagoff Bob from accounting. Son-of-a-bitch still owes me for coffee three months ago. Why I outta… 😡

Lossless JPEG would be amazing.

It was better than WAV; a nice bridge over to MP3.

What?? Can’t hear you over La Grange.

Fuck Dave. Dave is a piece of shit. Put him in the drive shredder, melt him down, and launch his pathetic ass into orbit.

~Yes, I have an issue with a Dave in my life.~

He’s a good dad. I hope someone tells him that. He deserves some positive praise right now.

Point of fact: the US are the terrorists here. 👊 🇺🇸 🔥

I ain’t ask to be here, but you a damned fool if you think imma just roll over and give the fuck up! Hell naw. My ass taking some of y’all fuckers with me.

Back in the early 90’s my parents somehow managed the money to buy a bonafide satellite dish – for those who are too young to remember, satellite dishes in those times were massive and tall, and they had motors to reposition themselves to different satellites; unlike those fixed-position tiny things Dish Network sells.

Something along these lines:

Anyway, it was really cool. I got to watch X-Files without commercials and before its network release, I watched Dennis Leary’s Asshole music video, some clear channel porn, and of course the porn stations depicted in this meme.

First I smashed pluto…
