Lol. I've often wondered - they sometimes tout password managers so people can create really hard passwords and the password manager remembers them, but then I'm like - what if someone gets your password manager password? I say this as someone who literally had 21 accounts on one program we use (thankfully, the vendor created a way to bundle certain access types together, so I just got that down to 2 last week...)

IT has it set for that automatic emails are sent to us every day starting 2-3 weeks before your 3 month period for a password expires. Each email tells you how many days you have left before expiration.

Note those numbers are pardons AND commutation of sentences. Also, when talking about Presidential pardons, typically the ~200,000 Vietnam draft dodgers are ignored from Carter. Others: Ford - 409 Nixon - 926 Johnson 1,187 Kennedy - 575 Eisenhower - 1,157 Truman - 2,044. FDR - 3,687 Hoover - 1,385 Coolidge - 1,545 Harding - 800 Wilson - 2,480 Taft - 758 T. Roosevelt - 981 McKinley - 918 Cleveland - see below B. Harrison - 813 Cleveland - 1,107 over both non-consecutive terms. Arthur - 337 Garfield - 0 Hayes - 893 Grant - 1,332 Johnson - 654 (however, like Carter he had some group pardons that put his total around 8,254) Lincoln - 343 Buchanan - 150 Pierce - 142 Fillmore - 170 Taylor - 38 Polk - 268 Tyler - 209 W. H. Harrison - 0 Van Buren - 168 Jackson - 368 J. Q. Adams - 183 Monroe - 419 Madison - 196 Jefferson - 119 J. Adams - 20 Washington - 16

Apparently the backing track for Mystic Mood Orchestra's "The First Day of Forever" was used as the music (accompanying new lyrics) for the US release of Japanes Kyodai Hero series Spectreman.- The What Are You Reading thread (now with a simpler name)
You mentioning comics reminded me i just finished: Junji Ito Venus in the Blind Spot Junji Ito Smashed Both are short story collections, and typical of Ito's horror work, which I like. Leiji Matsumoto Space Battleship Yamato Leiji Matsumoto Space Pirate Captain Harlock I've liked Matsumoto's anime work, and what I read of Galaxy Express 999, but hadn't read these. They're both fun even if Matsumoto didn't complete them both.- Politics US Edition (2021!)
Spades uses trump cards. Hearts doesn't.- Obituary thread
Steve Lightle. He was a well known cover artist for US comics, and had a lengthy stint on interiors as well. Mostly associated with The Legion of Superheroes, Doom Patrol and X-Men.- Politics US Edition (2021!)
As far as I know, having a mission statement is part of accreditation, so i am under the impression that a school is obligated to follow it, lest they want to lose their accreditation. Mind you, I've never been high enough to have been involved in that part of an accreditation review.- Funny Stuff: Humour of the Clones
David Tennant. Played the Doctor in Dr. Who. The guy in the background looking at the phone has a shirt with TARDIS on it, the name of the Doctor's time machine. So theoretically, if the fan wasn't absorbed in his phone he could have had a chance encounter with a lead actor from a show he's a fan of.- General movie thread!!!!

If that's to get around Trump's pardon power, as I understand it he can pardon them without them being charged, and without specifying he's pardoning a specific person. So waiting to charge people until the 21st doesn't do anything to negate Trump's pardon power. EDIT: I too hadn't heard people say the rioters were highly skilled/trained group. I have heard people talk about their organization and what that means for their intent (like knowing where windows were and directing people to them so they could penetrate further, etc).- Coronavirus Goes Fourth
I work in a buidling where the only stairs are fire exits. You have to ride up in an elevator, no choice. They've limited capacity (theoretically) to 4, and they have place markers that are positioned to suggest you face the walls, not the door. They've also worked to decrease density at work, in general, so its rare that you end up on elevator with a person.- Politics US Edition (2021!)
Iirc, that was the point. Coke's sales were slipping, and it was attributed to Pepsi's taste being preferred. So they mad a new drink that was more like Pepsi. Personally, I didn't like it, but I'm not really crazy about Pepsi either.- Politics US Edition (2021!)
From the article They're not traitors or terrorists, they just want to, with the help of the US Military, install Donald Trump in office and forcibly remove all Democratic politicians. Riiiiiight. Do I believe a non-profit organization that takes donations to translate into bail for low income, homeless, and people of color would, by the nature of the judicial system, provide bail for people who would turn out to commit further crimes? Sure; I believe that would be true of any organization that provides bail. Do I believe that same non-profit would tell someone trying to get data about the individuals it'd helped (which, as far as I know, they are not legally required to do, because it could arguably not be in the best interest of those they help) that they could not provide that information? Why yes. Yes I do. Do I further believe that if that individual who was refused the information from the charity posted news articles under the nom de guerre "Tyler Durden", that they would then post about it in an innuendo laden article to try and imply several unsavory things about the charity and the people it helps? You bet your sweet bippy, I do.- Favorite games that got shelved :(
Headfirst (who'd done Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth) was working on a video game adaption of DEADLANDS that I was looking forward to. Obviously Headfirst's bankruptcy ended that.- Politics US Edition (2021!)
