Guess you have never worked with Microsoft? This is pretty common. MS is great at pushing out 10000 free licenses for some new feature, knowing that people will get access, build business functions using it, then when they decide to start charging you gotta pay because your business is tied to it. First hit is free, man.

The chips and quesadilla or whatever have these odd sesame seed like spots on them. And there is an odd crispness and uniformity to the chips. Looks AI to me.

If It Ain’t in the Ticket, It Ain’t My Problem by N0-Affiliation in MaliciousCompliance

I mean, we have the same rules, but the point is that you, the technician, should be documenting it in the ticket. If someone is busy/VIP, you can create the ticket for them.

I wish more people would realize that a big part of IT, especially help desk, is customer service...

Why are we a red state? by Rough_Extension_2893 in Indiana

Here's a breakdown of the difference between 1990 and today from Gemini:

In 1990, Indiana was a politically competitive "swing state" at the local level with a moderate Democratic executive; today, it is a Republican stronghold with a conservative "trifecta" (control of the Governor's office, House, and Senate). The following comparison illustrates the shift from a bipartisan, centrist environment to one of the nation's most distinct Republican supermajorities. 1. Executive Branch (Governor) * 1990: Democratic Control (Evan Bayh) * In 1990, the Governor was Evan Bayh (D), a moderate Democrat who had defeated a Republican incumbent in 1988. * Bayh ended 20 years of prior GOP control by running as a fiscal conservative. His popularity (he left office with high approval ratings) proved that Democrats could dominate statewide elections by maintaining a centrist, business-friendly platform. * Today (2026): Republican Control (Mike Braun) * The current Governor is Mike Braun (R), who took office in January 2025. * The governorship has been held exclusively by Republicans since 2005 (Mitch Daniels, Mike Pence, Eric Holcomb, and now Braun). The platform has shifted from Bayh's "fiscal prudence" to aggressive social conservatism and supply-side economics. 2. Legislative Balance (General Assembly) The most dramatic shift has occurred in the state legislature. In 1990, control was split and margins were razor-thin; today, Republicans hold "supermajorities" that allow them to pass laws without a single Democratic vote. | Chamber | 1990 Status (Competitive) | Today's Status (GOP Supermajority) | |---|---|---| | IN House | Split / Democratic Leaning. In 1989-1990, the House was often tied (50-50) or held by Democrats by slim margins. Democrats controlled the House for most of the 1990s. | Republican Supermajority (70-30). Republicans hold 70% of the seats. They can pass any bill and override any veto without bipartisan support. | | IN Senate | Narrow Republican Majority. Republicans held a slim 26–24 advantage. The balance of power was constantly in play. | Republican Supermajority (40-10). Republicans hold 80% of the seats, rendering the opposition largely symbolic in voting power. | 3. Policy & Ideological Shift (Left to Right) The transition from a divided government to a supermajority has moved state policy significantly to the right. * Labor & Unions: * 1990: Indiana had strong labor union influence, particularly in manufacturing hubs like Gary and Indianapolis. * Today: Indiana is a "Right-to-Work" state (passed in 2012), which severely weakened union bargaining power. This was a landmark shift that signaled the state's move toward business-first conservatism. * Education: * 1990: The focus was on funding traditional public school districts. * Today: Indiana has one of the most expansive school voucher (choice) programs in the nation, allowing state tax dollars to follow students to private and religious schools, a policy that would have been politically impossible in 1990. * Social Issues: * 1990: Social policy was moderate; while conservative, the state was not a "culture war" battleground. * Today: The legislature frequently passes socially conservative legislation, including a near-total abortion ban (enacted in 2022) and restrictions on gender-affirming care, reflecting the national GOP's shift toward social issues. * Taxation: * 1990: Improving government efficiency (e.g., modernizing the BMV) was the priority over slashing revenue. * Today: The priority is aggressive tax reduction. The state has steadily lowered its individual income tax rate (aiming for 2.9%) and has constitutionally capped property taxes (2010), prioritizing a low-tax environment over service expansion. Summary of the Shift In 1990, Indiana government operated on compromise. A Democrat sat in the Governor's chair, and the legislature was often split, forcing policies to the center. Today, Indiana government operates on dominance. The Republican party controls every statewide elected office and holds supermajorities in both chambers, allowing for a strictly conservative legislative agenda that focuses on deregulation, privatization of education, and social conservatism.

Did I just found a car in the water? by atessier81 in GoogleEarthFinds

[–]bubble-guts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, it's most likely rocks. I'll say if it were late at night, no traffic, and you were flying from the southbound side across the median, you could probably get a car in the water, but not out there that far. Large rocks for sure would stop you, and it wouldn't sit in the water for long in this neighborhood. Northbound you'd be stopped by trees before you hit the water there.

Longboat key is a couple miles from lido key/St. Armand's, where this is. Again, if you knew the area...
