  3. A quotation from Richard Steele

    Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so; it is this which distinguishes the approbation of a man of sense from the flattery of sycophants and admiration of fools.

    Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
    Essay (1713-04-08), The Guardian No. 24

    And should I fail, my courage brings its commendation:

  5. For a few years in 2000s, Costco food courts in the US sold the biggest, butteriest, softest pretzels for $1.50. I haven't tasted pretzel that good before or since. 🥨

    That pretzel with their $1 latte (12oz cup) was just heaven. 😋 🌌

  6. A quotation from Richard Steele

    A good name is fitly compared to a precious ointment, and when we are praised with skill and decency, it is indeed the most agreeable perfume: but if too strongly admitted into a brain of a less vigorous and happy texture, it will, like too strong and odour, overcome the senses, and prove pernicious to those nerves it was intended to refresh.

  7. Praise Poem

    You are special,
    You are kind,
    And rather good,
    In heart and mind.

    A friend you are,
    Trustworthy and true.
    A wonderful pal,
    One finds in you.

    You are so smart,
    More wise than you think,
    Figuring out the way,
    Faster than one can blink.

    I've never known,
    Anyone quite like you.
    You are unique and gorgeous,
    This much is true.

    You deserve so much praise,
    In prose or in rhyme,
    I really hope you enjoyed,
    And feel good for a long time!!

  8. Some, like Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio & #JohnRatcliffe, the #CIA director, packed their speaking time with #praise, while others, like Vice President #JDVance, focused on #attacking Democrats. Many of these statements are exaggerated or not factually accurate [#lies].

    Compared with his 1st term, … #Trump has emphasized the importance of #loyalty this time around. Admin ofcls have complimented him far more in #cabinet meetings than in his 1st term…

  12. IMHO the BSD familie is not in the category dinosaur

    The BSD boxes which I had installed at different clients have worked literally till they fell apart. All of them were running freeBSD

    The human clients never knew how to even spell the operating system. I quietly replaced hard drives when they were broken and threw the systems away when the hardware was done the operating system was always good.

    None of my BSD based boxes ever lost any data because I followed the rules which were in the man pages. Back then I came from a Linux World compiling kernels manually and all other GNU programs, no distribución then.

    BSD FELT LIKE THE FOUNDATION OF WHERE LINUX SHOULD HAVE BEEN

    My clients were running Mission critical operations and I couldn't trust them to Linux so I went to BSD I was never ever disappointed.

    What drew me to BSD was the centralized system of everything together. Not just a fantastic kernel with the rest glued to it, glued with water based Glue

    The BSD programmers and user manuals are very well written
    I was amazed how easy it was to search for the information with my Linux background see that in BSD it was much better documented and that everything I needed was already there I didn't need to go on dial-up internet to find out something
