I'm beginning to question the existence of said unicorn. I mean, most people imagine them.

Dear Sir/Madam ,

Good day, I am David Williams., a solicitor. I decided to contact you regarding this proposition. A client of mine, who is privy to his financial records died mischievously and without making a will in March 23, 2022. I am contacting you to be a beneficiary to my deceased client and I felt you can assist me in securing his fund as his next of kin, before the Security Firm declares it insolvent/liquidated. The deposit fund is US$48 million. The Security Firm where the fund is deposited has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin and also present a letter of administration, confirming that you are the next of kin and beneficiary of the fund domiciled with their Security Firm. If you agree to work with me and serve as his next of kin, then the modalities for sharing the funds between us will be mutually decided. I suggest a percentage of 50% for me and 50% for you. All legal documents to back up your claim as the deceased next of kin will be issued to you for submission !
to the Security Firm. All I requir

This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Looking forward to hearing from you.reply me here with this

Regards,
David Williams Esq

So, you have a client who is privy to his own financial records - there's a thing - and he died "mischievously".

What a way to go!

In my opinion, if Trump were to run for a political seat here in the U.K., he'd romp home.

This isn't an American thing, it's a "world gone bonkers" thing.

Became bored so I watched a Documentary film
The Final: Attack on Wembley.

Not as the news stated at the time, but what carnage or fun depends where / what you are

There is nothing obliging hundreds (thousands?) of politicians to continue to support a felon, or tens of millions of people to vote for a felon, though: people never cease to amaze me.

I am reminded of a quote that I once heard (I have changed the gender, to protect the identity of the speaker):

"He shouldnt be allowed to run...If he wins, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt"

USA already split in Opinion may well in fact split.

As far as I know, he can run for President as a convicted murderer as long as he was born in the U.S. and is at least 35 years old.  I am dismayed by the people who choose to look the other way and insist that the jury that sat through 4 weeks of tedious testimony (instead of living their daily lives as normal) were somehow corrupt and the justice system that should apply equally to everyone, in this case, was rigged against Trump. 

I am so tired of his whining and unending claims of victimization.  Listening to the endless justifications of his supporters, really makes me think that people are not fundamentally good or clever.  They're either as bad as he is or they're stupid.  Neither choice is particularly attractive as an option, but there you have it.  It's a cult based on the worship of an authoritarian personality.

This is a rather old issue, pretty sure I've run into it at least once on every computer I've owned.

You power on your pc. Everything lights up, all the fans spin. [NO SIGNAL]
So you check the cable, no luck, you unplug all the perifs, no luck.

This is when you go past end user

You crack the case, unplug the hard drive. No dice.
Next step says to unplug the video card, but you don't have a screwdriver handy, so you pop the ram sticks
You get a nasty droid blatting from the PC because ram not found
You put the ram sticks back in
PC boots normally

I want to know who put "have the fans spin up, but don't boot the machine" in that order of operations and give them a solid thumping.

It honestly seems like the PC is having a toddler fit and refusing to start up unless you change its ram checksum.
