 I'm a #Linux user but my payroll company recently moved to software that will only run on Windows. I tried my best to get around it or get ways for it to work but, with their many layers of security, it just wasn't possible. So I got a Windows license and put it in a virtualization. Annoying but it keeps a wall of separation between me and Windows. 
 AP has an article about the most important change taking place in the world today: Catholics are returning to tradition, in practice and in faith. This restoration will change the world. https://apnews.com/article/catholic-church-shift-orthodoxy-tradition-7638fa2013a593f8cb07483ffc8ed487 #Catholic 
 Jewish world control theories are vastly overblown. They can't even control the media narrative. Where's the demands for Hamas for immediate, total, and unconditional surrender? That'll save the most lives! #Israel #Gaza #Hamas #Palestine 
 I did watch/listen to Tucker/Putin today. This was not an interview. Tucker could not ask hard questions and Putin did not care to make the case for Russia. Putin brought Tucker there to satisfy a perverse psychological need to manipulate and dominate other people, to torment them. He is like Hannibal Lector. Putin's pleasure is in psychologically dominating, controlling, and tormenting others. With Tucker he got his prey to put it on video and he is getting off on the fact that he knows many around the world will watch him emotionally rape Tucker. It was ugly. It was evil. And Tucker is probably too proud to admit this is what happened. #Tucker #Putin #Russia #Ukraine 
 Tucker didn't get the interview because he asked. A lot of journalists have been asking. He got the interview because he was selected. That tells you everything you need to know about what the Russian dictator thinks about Tucker and his audience. #Russia #Ukraine #tuckercarlson #TuckerCarlsonIsATraitor

 Short rests between lifts give better results. This is science but it is also courtesy at the gym! Get you lifts done quickly so others can use the equipment!

Here's a short video on the science: https://youtu.be/v5AGBREQLkE?si=koAZsS4OipQArpb7

 @TheDarrenator I am an abortion abolitionist. I am pro-life at every level. I am otherwise politically moderate at the federal level and more and more conservative each level of government you get to being more local. 
 I'm a pro-life moderate when it comes to the federal government but each level lower, I get a notch or two more conservative. 
 Gaza was part of Egypt. Egypt didn't want it back after their failed invasion of #Israel. #Gaza is very different from the rest of #Palestine. #Hamas

 @92b07012 What's this mean? I went from high cholesterol to very low by eliminating saturated fat from my diet, adding whey & psyllium fiber, and daily exercise with running and weight lifting. Only took a few weeks.

 @343b1fa9 We should leave the dating/marriage lives of all the Chiefs as private. I don't watch the Chiefs as a proxy for a tabloid. I just want to see great football! 
 Can anyone comment on the future of #kBin? I figured the APIs would be available by now so independent apps could work with the platform. I may move to #Lemmy if progress isn't made soon.

 @f7d6dc43 Even these [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXPDXf1gwks] produce crumbs that adhere to the priest's hands as he engages in the sign of peace. IMO it is the most terrible aspect of the modern rite.

 @18cf2de6 Does the priest shake any hands after the consecration? Altar boys/girls, lectors, etc.? That's what I'm talking about and it happens at even fairly conservative modern rite parishes. 
 This used to be true until the Modern Rite (Novus Ordo) introduced the "sign of peace" AFTER the consecration. Now Fr. Bob walks around, hand open, shaking any hand that comes his way. #Catholic

 @c4e7b777 Why are these happening all of a sudden across Africa? 
 I told my son to clean the fridge. He took it outside and used his power washer on it. "Work smatter, not harder" is his motto. I'm not certain power washing a fridge is smart but it worked out in his favor this time! 
 This is going to backfire on the left if they turn this into some sort of McCarthyism witchhunt trial.
