The "next year" promise of the year...

For administration, you have Group Policy, Active Directory, SAM, and various other things to read up on. Like others have said you can do everything in PowerShell but commands are super verbose. Microsoft does keep thorough documentation on it at least.

In terms of helping people with issues, you have the Windows Registry (kind of like dconf for GNOME), Backup Restore, Updates (most IT spend most of the time after fixing not working stuff, is convincing people to update their computers). If you can think on your feet, you'll be able to solve 90% of most workers' issues with some digging even if you didn't know Windows more than your average computer guy.

In terms of app development, tweaking and troubleshooting, there are a myriad of frameworks, like MFC, .NET, Electron, Microsoft Access databases somehow turned into a vital business application, etc.

Most app developers learn one of the various systems, then end up sticking with it causing Microsoft to support a hodge podge of 20+ year old native frameworks, while others import whatever newfangled crossplatform wrapper of the day is popular. So good luck if learning this is your goal.

AI can't detect birth certificates but you what it can do... Racism ^TM^

Sidenote: with the current DoJ policy being no records = terrorists lacking complete profile

"The lack of a criminal record does not indicate they pose a limited threat," according to Cerna's declaration. "The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile."

The AI will have an easy job 'filling in the missing details' for the government.

While I'm not sure how you came to all the conclusions you did, your advice for the next person who might try to get in contact with the next person at CECOT is sound.

Every single photo and video from CECOT is staged. We already get a sense of what it is like in the actual prison from stories, photos, even the staged videos. It's a concentration camp, and maybe even a death camp, it's no hotel and these photos aren't fooling people on that.

The fact... says he met with Garcia and Garcia is alive is proof

Doubters would be asking for real proof left, right, and center rather than second-hand.

These pictures don't prove anything, Garcia could be dead in those pictures and they could have taken him to a goddamn taxidermist and posed him.

I don't know what you would want from the Senator. If he was talking to a stuffed corpse, once he leaves El Salvador, there's nothing stopping Sen. Van Hollen to say so or at least tell his wife in confidence.

There were likely a few preplanned and staged pictures the Senator was allowed to take of Abrego Garcia at all. The Senator wanted to prove that he was alive.

Wow... just wow...

It's heartbreaking and enraging.

We're essentially at the point where the Israeli government could justify the Holocaust as long as the Nazis said "Hamas officers hiding among them" before killing people. The genocide is not only cruel but a callous waste of life, hope and talent.

There will be no corrective steps.

Okay, noted, thanks. There will never be any corrective steps as long we avoid thinking of any.

This is assuming you are expected by your council to clean it "thoroughly enough".

After you eat/drink the contents, a very quick rinse is all that's needed. Little stains aren't going to be bad for recycling.

If you've left it for a while and are worried, a simple but surefire way to clean out any significant gunk would be these steps:

  • Make sure you have a strainer on your sink drain if your plumbing system is fragile.
  • Fill every can or jar with water to near the top
  • Wait 15 minutes
  • pour out a can into the sink
  • fill the can with a bit of water and shake the last bits out
  • pour and lightly rinse the rest of the cans in the same way
  • bin the gunk caught by the strainer.

On the high seas of memes, memes being stolen or remixed ups your "upload ratio". You should feel proud. (For you stealing this one, I will look the other way this time, leech 😅)
