@aaronschatz.com Nice bold takes article, but unlike releases, you can't designate trades as post-June 1. They have to actually happen in June. www.espn.com/nfl/insider/...

my job also involves lots of computer I *do* understand the computer. that guy's *easy* ... it's all the weirdo coder types and their bizarro ideas I don't understand

The history behind this thing is insane. It closed in 2016 due to code violations. Bought at auction in 2017 by Jeff Kern, Ohio Slumlord Kern refuses to sell stuff despite abandoning them Kern's legal troubles blew up in past few years Declared a public nuisance Suddenly sold Massive fire 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

It is utterly ridiculous how fragmented and limited parental control tools are. And the response you get asking on forums is appalling: "just talk to your kid" "be a parent" etc. etc. Let me be exceptionally clear to the "just be a parent" crowd: you have *no idea* what an ODD kid needs.

me, whenever I get "it doesn't work" or "it's not working" from someone
