I was told awhile back in another thread that connecting vital systems to the internet wasn't a big deal by "a guy that knows".. "there's safeguard regulation against doing that".. type nonsense. I hope he reads this thread today.

Awesome. Plenty of AOC types who believe pipelines are evil. Maybe they should try living without on for a week or two.

I can't believe there are people to this day that are so stupid that they think the president is somehow controlling gas prices.

The second he reversed Trump's executive order for the Keystone pipeline prices jumped. They've been riding higher since then. Add in letting the worst polluters (China) get away with doing nothing while we pay to make up the difference...that is 100% on President Old Senile frick. Wake up for a change instead of trying to be woke.

ETA: I'm amazed at how many people kiss his arse and ignore things like his press secretary coming out and saying she's told him to STFU with the press. He's the backdoor candidate to put VP fricking Her Way to the Top at an advantage in 2024.

The president's decisions do so therefore the president does. It's pretty simple. For a position you say has no control of gas prices, why has every president since the invention of cars running on gasoline been blamed for rising gas prices or praised for lowering gas prices?

Because voters are dumb and have always been that way?

So, you think a newly “elected” President who on day one halted the Keystone XL pipeline by executive order, instituted a drilling moratorium in the Gulf by executive order, appointed a bunch of tree hugger environmental whackos who vow to end fossil fuels to his administration, has vowed to go carbon free in the U.S. and is ready to sign more executive orders to do it... you think his actions have had no influence on gas prices? Really? It must be nice to be that oblivious.

Me too. We’re a security reseller for K12.

Like with Target, Anthem, and BCBS.... we’re all hoping they have the other guys’ product in place.




Seriously, you are running something that critical, and you aren’t backing up or encrypting the backups?

Ohh, EarlyCurler is now a IT infrastructure expert

I’d love to wreck you on that subject.
