Here's what it looks like:

Well, I can get my hands on a Dell Latitude E6430s Laptop i5-3320M 2.6GHz 8GB RAM. It has no HDD currently, but I have a spare 160GB Sata I could put in it and ship it with that. The laptop currently runs Win 7 but I could put Linux Ubuntu on it beforehand and it would run Linux instead, providing more space and easier operation. How does that sound?

I was confused by your earlier posts. Are you fundraising just to buy the laptop locally in Malawi or are you still asking someone to buy it and send to you/Canada and then you bring to Malawi?

Clarifying in case you misinterpreted me. When I refer to the "first instance" I'm talking about the incident days before Pretti was killed.

Awfully good day to add to positions with all the red candles everywhere...Discount on aisle 9!

Two words: data centers.

Interestingly, some virus mutations make the virus worse, not easier to spread. Here's another example using Ebola. While for the victims it becomes far more lethal, for spread the virus becomes easier to contain due to its speed of burnout.

The variable are the officers involved. In the first instance, the officers either didn't see his weapon or they didn't see it as a reaction trigger for them to act. In the second, clearly the gun was a focal point for their reaction. People will point to training, but it's also the officer personalities, particularly as a group/squad. I've seen huge variation in officer behavior when acting individually as well as when in a squad.

What drought? It doesn't snow in the west, period. At least not real "East Coast" snow levels. Never has (except for the Donner Pass days, lol).

I see bots stealing people's eyeballs to get into networks/hacking...

That was the same reason why Ebola could be contained. However, viruses mutate. A somewhat less deadly mutation could spread faster and farther as victims live long enough to infect more.

That's a very interesting play on words. So, in context, what does it infer about the less-sophisticated relationship they've had for decades prior?

I had one of those, but it was my older daughter as a 5 year old in a pool suddenly was going under water without noise and I was the only one who noticed. Cleared a table and three people in a half-second and got her before she made it to the bottom of the pool. Scared the shit out of me.

Work hard, help others, say thanks a lot, avoid bragging, market others before yourself, and grab opportunities when they happen. Nothing comes on your schedule.
