    So I had someone last week say to me “but people over 50 don’t buy tech!” RT if you are 50+ and could possibly read this tweet on at least 5 devices you own.

    Pro Tip #873: When a redundant part is failing intermittently and it’s causing problems just make it fail completely, perhaps by simply removing it. Programmers code for totally there or totally not there, and don’t often cover the cases of sometimes or kinda there.

    The measure of our laws is not when they protect those we like. It’s when they even protect those we despise and who would otherwise want us dead. That’s the true measure of a functioning legal system; that they work regardless of the depravity of the particular individual.

    3 Students were injured when a CA teacher accidentally fired his loaded handgun in class. The teacher, an 11-year reserve police officer & councilman, was also a gun safety instructor. Imagine if guns are in every other class, carried by education majors!

    I've just been told, "Nobody reads science fiction any more." Can we *please* prove that wrong? Please retweet if you're a fan of written SF. Let's make our voices heard.
