@brouhaha Nothing risked, nothing gained. ;-)

The checkin post includes a photo of a very pretty girl.
@fredonline If this is a problem, I suspect it will get fixed. Google and Zoho actually work together (surprise) on interoperability between Zoho and Google Docs/Sheets etc.
This makes sense since Docs, Sheets, etc. are not moneymakers for Google. They are expenses. While it may seem that Zoho and Google are competitors, they are not. They're friends that got into this SAS business at the same time (2006) and have grown together. The only difference is Zoho has made a business out of it and Google doesn't mind.
@griff @joltrast @johndporter @astheroth @alex @hackbyte @carstenraddatz_fca @shelenn @stefani @cass_m @kahomono @checkin If you were trying to get my attention with a photo of pretty girl, you succeeded.
I think I need some oxygen now.
@lovelylovely This is totally on target.
We've been through so much Trump shit since 2016 that it's impossible to hold it all in your head. So hearing it listed here had me laughing non-stop at the unbelievable absurdity of it and, most of all, the fact that the people of the United States are still putting up with it.
I mean, Donald Trump isn't worth the paper you wipe your ass with, yet here we are, eight years in, and he's still making headlines. I think it says more about the gullible American People than anything else.
And no, this guy is not going to be hired to anchor the evening news or a talk show. Listen to him anyway. It's the message that matters, not the messenger.

@janeadams @Martoni @GossiTheDog Agreed. As unbelievable as it might seem to some, I'll bet they didn't think it through.
Just so y'all know, most of those two-letter TLDs like .af refer to countries. In this case, Afghanistan. The country itself is the owner of that TLD and can decide who can and cannot use it. That's how TLDs were set up long ago and I see nothing wrong with it.
So think before using one. In all cases you have to to ask yourself two questions before using it. 1) Might my content offend that country? 2) Do I want to appear to be aligned with that country?
This second one has puzzled me for years. I see two-letter country TLDs on websites that, in my opinion, clearly shouldn't be aligning themselves with that country.
Bottom line: understand these two-letter TLDs and think before using them.

A word about left-wing conspiracy theories.
Yesterday I sent about 10 people to this page because they were saying the same untrue things about Merrick Garland that I disproved here with facts:
That's when I realized a new Merrick Garland conspiracy theory had taken hold.
My initial reaction was pure irritation.
A knew what it would take to disprove it. . .

#Toronto cut streetcar travel times in half by cracking down on cars
"The presence of traffic agents on the King Street transit corridor reduced average eastbound streetcar travel time in the evening rush from 45-65 minutes to 17-21 minutes"

So who won tonight, Dolphins or Broncos?

The thing about Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl is that YOU SHOULD REGISTER TO VOTE.
Right now.
@jimmylittle Agreed. It's hard to criminalize a business but the IRS is on it. When I did my taxes a year ago I saw the IRS providing links to a half dozen providers that would do basic returns for free, like Turbo used to. I used one without problems and my return wasn't all that simple.
Now the IRS is unveiling their own system, where you can do it directly without a provider like TurboTax.

Citizens,
There is an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court t(ICC) at the Hague -to arrest Vladimir Putin for genocide of #Ukrainian children.
This is who Donald trump said can "do whatever he wants to our allies." This is WW3 talk by a dangerous criminal.
tfg is a traitor to America and our allies.
@rberger It was indeed the plan all along.
The GOP has always been a minority party. After the Southern Strategy absorbed the Dixiecrats into the Republican Party, those Dixiecrats and Christian Fundamentalists realized that they would never win control of the country through democracy.
So the game changed to subversion and sabotage of government, physically and financially, in order to break it and create the conditions where another form of government can be established.

Facing shortages of soldiers, for at least half year #Russia had been mobilizing economic migrants from Asia for war in #Ukraine.
But now the circles is expanding - Russia and #Belarus security services had been running a human trafficking business on people from Middle East and #Africa whom they forcibly then sent to storm the EU border with #Poland and #Lithuania, and recently also with #Finland.
It now seems like Russian security services started to mobilize men lured with the promise of getting into EU. This man was taken prisoner of war by Ukrainian army and described himself as someone who was trapped in Russia on his way to EU and forced to participate in the war. Many like him weren’t as lucky and never had a chance to surrender alive.
If you know anyone considering even putting their foot in Russia or Belarus on their way to EU, tell them they may end up in the opposite of the place they dreamed of.
P.S. Russia also recruits regular mercenaries in Asia and Africa, but this particular man wasn’t one.

Here's my Valentines Day suggestion:
Take your your sweetie to your county clerk's office and register to vote.
(While there you might want to check the lists to see if your friends are registered - if not, give 'em a call.)
I promise, it's easier (and less expensive) than long stem roses or a diamond neckless.
Seems odd to me that there are, apparently, no discussions on Mastodon about Zoho.
I've been using them for 14 years and they have about 100 million users.

Don’t forget to post your photos of Superb Owls today!
Here’s a Barred Owl that was staring at me from a tree not 20ft from where I was sitting on our back deck a few years ago.
