Reply to New Chuck Norris Jokes by Cavalier4Beer
Imagine the personality of a Kevin Spacey with the martial arts prowess of Chuck Norris. You've got Trigger Keaton, the most obnoxious man in Hollywood. Except now he's dead and six people whose lives he ruined are forced to find the real killer.

Reply to comment by Devil_kin1 in ELI5 why do you need to turn of hard drives to unplug them instead of just unplugging them by Devil_kin1
I always though that the point of this sub was to come up with creative teaching tools as well as explaining the answer.
Thanks for the nice compliment

Here's the actual explanation for a five year old.
When you go to bed at night, you don't just get in bed. You take off your clothes, put them away, put on you pajamas, brush your teeth, and say good night to everybody. The computer is a little like that, it needs to 'put on its pajamas' so it will sleep well.

Some ghost is keeping the McNally books going, which is funny because I never like those books when the Master wrote them.
Another unexpected gem from him is 'The Loves Of Harry Dancer.' I will avoid any spoilers, and just suggest that you check it out. It starts like a typical crime thriller, then makes a sharp turn into the weird.

There's a fantastic dystopian novel called 'The Tomorrow File' by Lawrence Saunders. I've never seen it hyped anywhere. I'm pretty sure it's because the author wasn't part of the right clique.
Reviews and blurbs are mostly a game.

True story.
Back in the 1970s, there was an X -rated actress who lived in NYC and performed under her own name. She voted, and eventually got called for jury duty. I know this is true because when I went for jury duty I saw her autographed picture up in the guard's longue.
I leave it to the detectives of reddit to prove me correct. Dive into the rabbit hole, boys.

Reply to Left wing/right wing people, what’s your best argument against the other group? by [deleted]
The Right Wing is laughing and celebrating an innocent man getting attacked in their own home. Then they call themselves 'Christians' who favor 'law and order.'

I had a supervisor like that a while back. I got a different guy to start a rumor that the boss hated me because of a gay love affair we’d had. Boss requested a transfer.

If you’re going to put words in my mouth please serve them with chips and salsa. Deal with the situation at hand and then it’s over. You being mad a decade later doesn’t hurt whoever you are mad at

You'll have to go to the individual agencies and see what they specialize in. No single temp agency deals with all possible temp jobs. Some handle things like restaurants, others do factory/warehouse work, and others do offices. Call or email them and find out what they do.

Which is why you need to learn to let shit go.
If you're the only one who cares about it, what's the point?

I tried one and noped out halfway through.
May I suggest Robyn Bennis - The Fire Above and The Guns Above. Military fiction about airships in Napoleonic times.
