Idiots are going to get us all killed.


Only a few counties in northern VA has emission testing and crap like that. Not the whole state like the linked article infers.

We'll never live that long. And that's only sales, maybe mfr for sale elsewhere.

So, half a story is sensationalistic journalism.

In other news, I would strongly advise anyone using Win10 "File History" for their backups to stop immediately and buy a retail backup program. This hot garbage completely let me down when I reinstalled Windows a couple weeks ago. Just the act of using a slightly different name for the PC was enough to throw it off course and I could not restore my files! I probably could have fought it and got it to work, but nothing of the kind is remotely acceptable in something as critical as a file backup!

PS - I did not lose any files - they were all moved to a folder called "Windows.old" as a part of the reinstall.

So... I have to make a video introducing myself and describing my knowledge, and submit it for one of the jobs I applied for. Again, I go down the line and check every box for their requirements, EXCEPT Mac OS experience. I hate to do it, but I really need to get an Apple. I hope that doesn't hinder things.

Blech, there's nothing worse than a stupid video interview.

I don't mind a video interview (I just had one yesterday), but *making* a video? It's not an on-air personality position (right?).
