TIL: an exhausted #cmos #battery can cause #Linux to behave strangely after a hard #shutdown (caused by a #UPS being incorrectly turned off) - it uses the BIOS time to check the filesystem block timestamps, and as it had gone back to 2012 the OS thinks the filesystem time is in the future! (At least the hard drive on this server isn't on the way out yet which is what I had feared, but this required an emergency visit to the office as it is the main #VOIP #PBX) #sysadmin

Taking current world events into account and the effect the Heathrow shutdown’s having on the UK’s infrastructure, the word “sabotage” keeps coming to mind. Maybe the two Russian horologists who visited Salisbury have been “plane spotting” in London?

This is Republican governance. Let them govern! | @destiny

#Wakeup #Congress! #DOE cannot be #shutdown without an #act of Congress. What are you doing? The #government is being run by #mobsters. The #damage to the #republic is #immeasurable.

#Republicans would have #shutdown the US Government budget to crash US Markets had #Biden been elected for a second term. Certainly if the Republicans have majority in House and Senate.

I'm still holding out hope that #chuckschumer and #NancyPelosi decide to retire before the US budget discussion and vote in September.

K. I'm going out on a limb here, cuz I'm not & never was a Capitol Hill insider.

But I can see Schumer's pt, which is a govt #shutdown just sends home all the good guys in govt so Musk/Trump/#GOP can continue to cannibalize it unopposed & never reopen it=bad.

Agree.

Message misses from the opposition
#democrats are tongue tied

#shutdown already underway by #dogees

#continuingresolution was not that - it was a wholly new set of cuts and more authority for the #executivebranch for 6 months

#tariffs are #importtaxes on the end consumer

#trumpSlump #wallstreet and #mainstreet are united against uncertainty introduced by #tusk

We could have stood strong, stood in solidarity, and turned the #GOP #shutdown, into a #NationalStrike!

I don't understand the #Democrats in the #US #Senate. Why do 10 Democrats vote with the Republicans to prevent a #shutdown? Why don't as many as possible vote against #Trump in the Senate? And the majority of American voters wanted Trump as president so badly? Then you have to experience the disadvantages of that. This is a wrong choice by these 10 Democrats.
