fu @libranet.de \#FamilyMan been married for \>15 years and have two daughters. Those three girls are my greatest love on this planet.
I consider myself a #GNU Evangelist. Learning about what #FreeSoftware was, including GNU/Linux, opened my eyes to so many things: governments aren't the only ones stealing individual rights, I know so much less about computers than I thought I did, the idea of code, I can make a difference without having to know anyone particular.
I'm employed as contract Engineer in the Metal industry. My workplace is not yet unionized, but I'm hoping to fix that. #Union member of the #IWW IU440. I don't have an engineering degree. After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap at just the right time.
I'm a #Libertarian and have been for over 20 years. The love of libertarianism is what lead me to first to a BS in #political science and later to falling in love with Free Software. These days I lean toward the left side of the libertarian spectrum including being a member of the Libertarian #Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party (LSC-LP). Sometimes I call myself a #LibSoc.
I'm a huge #sports fan, but don't following any particular sport/team super closely. Lately I've been getting into #Cricket in addition to my other passions of Professional #Wrestling, Lower Division North American #Soccer, NHL & College #hockey, #baseball #olympics & #rugby (union and #RugbyLeauge). My whole life used to be American #Football, but now-a-days I can't stand it anymore than I can basketball.
I'm a #BornAgain #Christian, accepting #Jesus as my savior at age 9. Received #Believers Baptism at age 18. Received the baptism of the #HolySpirit as evident in speaking in #tougnes later that year. The #Spirit lead me to the #Catholic #Church at age 20 where I was confirmed at the Easter Vigil. I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ in #recovery from lust. #XA #SA #CR Currently in the very early stages of discernment for joining the #Ecumenical order of #Fransicans (#OEF).
At least AEW dodged one bullet.
Bong Recreation Area
If you’ve ever been to WI and driven 94 south from Milwaukee to Chicago, you’ve see the sign below and done your best Beavis and Butthead, snickering at it.
But the park is named for Major Richard Bong, and he was a WWII war hero, with 40 confirmed Jap kills. !Image/Photo !Image/Photo

Report: Ford decreasing F-150 Lightning production in Dearborn amid EV pullback
Bad news for workers in Rouge Plant 50% decrease in production means 50% reduction in hours.
this is the first time I have heard of this. Do you have a recommendation on this here to learn more about it?
I see they corrected the article, where it now says T20 it used to say T201. I thought maybe there was some other new format to compete with THE HUNDRED.
There's nowhere in the Bible that it says everything of the faith is contained in the bible. Though it does say that we should cling to tradition even if not written "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thessilonians 2:15
That being said, the Church usually points to Jesus as having instituted the sacrament of reconciliation here "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” John 20:23
The West Indies vs. England T201 match will test the stop clock
WTF is T201? Is this just a typo of T20I?
If he didn't complain about it, would anyone know he was gone?
@ElderWendigo @negativenull In Michigan this week I saw a giant inflatable buck-ee with a santa hat on in some guys yard. I awesome he used to live in Texas.
@Zagorath yeah i would take T20WC over the ODI one any day
@originalucifer this is so bad that is it wasn't in is group I wouldn't even realize it was supposed to be humerus.
@Zagorath ODI is actually my least favorite code. Still had the 8 hour game that no one has time to actually watch, without the drama of Test/A-Class matches because of the "power play"
Students, parents outraged by dismissal of beloved teacher in Livonia Public Schools
I don't see why this would be a surprise. "
> he calls her students “babies,” and they call her “Mama J.” She brings them home-cooked meals, gives them scholarships, and teaches them how to dance for free." sounds like a good reason to remove them from a public school postion
I would like to see some new faces in the world cup.
@cricket With T20WC24 being hosted in the States We will get Team USA for sure so that will be a new qualifier, but what's terning in Africa? emergingcricket.com/news/ugand…
@TellumSiege @n7gifmdn sounds like a better choice than Carlito to me!
@SquaredCircle @TellumSiege well bringing Punk back is about the most WWE thing they could do. They gotta fuck with a good thing right? Well hopefully that means Roman is finally going to lose his title.
