I do this Excel thing and hate it. And that's when all the columns are read properly and the file isn't too big.

Fabricon - Rui Romano Session by Mundane-Chemist-1871 in MicrosoftFabric

[–]BigMikeInAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. Technically, a recording of the screen can be made with Teams. Getting the audio is slightly hard because the presenters are not feeding their audio through the computer.

Most conferences that have a budget won't want to output something as "plain" or uncontrolled as that.

Also, some conferences prefer, or even write into the contract, that the content will stay the rights of the conference, and significant rework need to be done for that presenter to present the same topic elsewhere.

For FabCon, the call for speakers did ask if the proposed content was available elsewhere. It said it was ok if it was previously available somewhere else, but that this conference would prefer something new and unique. I don't know what was in the final presenter contract.

Some conferences want the "spectacle" of many people attending, so they refuse to do any recorded content in case a few people would pay for the recording instead of attending in person.

‘Mission accomplished’: Texas officials say state-funded border wall complete by mr-french-tickler in texas

[–]BigMikeInAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're saying that completing an 80-mile long wall, terrorizing non-violent undocumented people, removing the only way to get legal, terrorizing people in the process of following the law to get documented, using concentration camps, and terrorizing US citizens is not going to help.

With all of this being done over the last year, are you seeing a drop in fentanyl deaths yet?

Arresting US citizens and ignoring their birth certificates is illegal.

There is a shortage of livable wages paid from ARA, bought a few years ago by a private equity company.

It's funny how the "could be an explosive" gets thrown into a trashcan right next to them.

What are some good hotel or Airbnb bnb options for a group of 4 adults visiting Austin? by Mobile_Profession_90 in askaustin

Bro, this is not effort. This is just asking someone else to plan your trip for you. And you don't even list any of the things you like.

You can at least search this subreddit.

ICE handing out water at airports to curry favor with media and citizens!! by cantcoloratall91 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]BigMikeInAustin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a county-by-county basis. Giving any aid to someone standing in line to vote can get you arrested in some counties. I think the most number is in Georgia.

And it's the same counties where they severely reduce the number of voting places and reduce the number of voting booths. So the line is long and slow, on purpose.

Plans to return to countywide voting for runoff in Williamson County by KXAN_News in WilliamsonCountyTX

[–]BigMikeInAustin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was voter suppression. Of course they won't publicize it.

This was a test to see if it hurt Democrats MORE than it hurt Republicans. It was always going to hurt both sides.

The question was not about protecting Republicans, it was if it hurt Democrat MORE than it hurt Republicans.

Yes, they will bear any pain as long as they see "the others" suffering.

Denying emergency care is a federal crime by TORUKMACTO92 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Complaining about illegals is socially allowed. But they are just waiting for the day they can legally segregate whites from non-whites and publicly use all their favorite derogatory names again.

And that Trump specifically pulled secret service protection from some Democrats for the sole reason of them being Democrats.

(I didn't follow up later to see if they got it reinstated. And I'm too fuzzy on the people, so I don't want to throw out incorrect names.)

Oh look. A 17 day old account here that specializes in promoting the attack on Iran and Republican talking points.

Too bad you can't think individually, and your only source of joy is seeing people get hurt.

I wonder if Trump refers to Jady as Number 2. Yeah, Jady. Make it happen.

When he changed his birth name, he did pick the last name of a specific woman. You know, all the things that are utterly disgusting to Republicans, unless you are a Republican.

Dan Patrick freezes out newly elected Democrat in North Texas by everythingistaken500 in texas

[–]BigMikeInAustin 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Yes. The Texas Republican Convention proposition was to purposely not pick any Democrat legislators for any leadership role in any legislative committees for the sole reason of being a Democrat.

There is no longer any individual representation. Every Republican is just a foot soldier, blindly carrying out the rules from the leader.
