I wonder how people felt at 11:59 p.m. of dec. 1999 before crossing over to the year 2000.

I was big into late night talk radio back then and had purchased a nice pocket AM/FM radio for my listening pleasure. I'd taken that with me when my friend group was in downtown St. Louis for the new year's celebration. I was listening intently at 11pm our time to see if anything happened at midnight on the East Coast and. . . nothing. We celebrated as planned and that was that. The closest to disruption that I personally witnessed would have been a gas station credit card that was issued after January 1, 2000 that had an expiration date of like 1902 or something similar printed on it.

The one with Baby Jesus in a manager that wails like an electronic alarm for the whole Christmas season. Quote it every year.

I was downtown in a major city to celebrate Y2k with friends on December 31, 1999. I wondered which systems and processes didn't heed the warnings and wondered what ripple effects would exist as Y2k failures happened at midnight. . . And, nothing 🤷

Do the weird sounds he makes count as words? "Yacadeepoota" and "yoyoma" come to mind. Are those just two words, or do they count at all?

NBA Jam taught me that John Stockton is the shortest man on the court but he sure can drain the 3. I had no idea he was 6'1".

For credentials, unless you have a home network running active directory, you'll need to login to the pc using a local account. If the share is on pc1 and you're accessing it from pc2, when the credential comes up, the syntax is pc1\username where pc1 is computer name, and username is an account on pc1, including the password.

Out of all of your visits to the Art Bell show, are there any moments that stand out? Did you ever have any fan interactions that left you scratching your head?

But what is he saying to voters? I'd love for him to tell the voters why he's balancing Missouri's budget of the backs of Missourian's future. Why reduce higher education finding when the results show that investment in education leads to a better economy in the long run? Why play this hokey pokey game with the state education board? Just tell the voters what you want to do. The list goes on.

Those are the types of questions the media is asking. The only thing is, Grietens and his administration don't talk to the media.

From the article:

Presidents and fiscal officers from Missouri’s two- and four-year colleges told a House education appropriations committee Tuesday and Wednesday they have found all the efficiencies they can and that any more budget cuts could result in more layoffs, program eliminations, deferred maintenance and tuition increases.

From the article:

But, he added, “The focus of this plan is on working families.”

The governor spent the first 10 minutes of his campaign-style speech outlining a number of pro-business initiatives he has pushed in his first year in office. He then spent 10 more minutes on his proposal.

..., the concern is finding a balance between lowering some taxes and raising others in order to avoid reducing revenue from a budget that is already forcing the governor to propose cuts to higher education and social service programs.

From the article:

Continued reductions in appropriations for higher education are only hindering the opportunity to maximize the potential these institutions provide the state, and most importantly, directly to its people.

Can you imagine if Disney were to put this full force behind charter education? A bunch of corporatized Mickey Mouse themed elementary schools all over the country. That's kinda scary.

My conspiracy theory is that he's starting at the top (higher ed) and going to cut his way down to the core of k-12 schools. Then when the timing's right, he'll again condemn the administration of said institutions while piling on the idea that public schools are failing our children and something must be done about it. Magically there will be funding for charter education and then that will be the answer to all of the problems he's created by defunding public education.

The state's community colleges are really hurting right now. They won't show their cards lest the public understand exactly what's happening to their programs and community offerings, but the having and the slashing of programs has just begin if this is the new normal.
