NOTRECOMMENDED: LASTPASS no longer recommended; Use BITWARDEN instead

Sunday, April 6, 2025

LASTPASS has dropped support for Mac OSX application.  

No appologies; just dropped.

Sigh!

I’m testing BITWARDEN and Apple’s PASSWORD app.

Not that I’m an “influencer”, but I have RECOMMENDED LASTPASS for a long time.  Removing it’s availability from a key computer platform is short sighted at best and dumb at worst.

GUNS: Why make guns for “good guys” hard to get?

Makes a lot of sense to me.  

“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein

“I particularly like unlimited concealed carry. If the criminal regards the general public as sheep to be shorn, then let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock.

Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead!

Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!

Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

EDUCATION: Walter Williams was a rock star

84 years of not suffering fools
by Jeff Jacoby  — December 7, 2020

*** begin quote ***

Walter E. Williams taught economics to university students for 47 years, the last 40 of them at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. He taught his class as usual last Tuesday, then died suddenly some hours later. His death did not go unnoticed — lengthy obituaries appeared in both the New York Times and the Washington Post — but the news ricocheted with particular velocity through the world of conservatives, libertarians, and free-market economists: To us, Walter Williams was a rock star.

*** and ***

From How to Live in Peace (2017):

*** and ***

The liberty-oriented solution to the school prayer issue is simple. We should acknowledge the fact that though there is public financing of primary and secondary education, it doesn’t follow that there should be public production of education. . . .

*** end quote ***

I read Walter Williams as soon as I found out about him.  He led me to Thomas Soul.  Together they formed my opinions on Gooferment, Gooferment Skrules, politicians, and bureaucrats.

Clearly and concisely, they demolished the welfare / warfare state with its one-size fit all solutions.  Good thing the Gooferment doesn’t produce shoes.

Argh!

DISCOURAGING: Broken homes seems to be “acceptable”; not selfishness

I was devastated when my father abandoned me — yet liberals make excuses for broken homes
By Adam B. Coleman 
Published March 30, 2025, 3:54 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A child growing up in a broken home automatically puts them at a disadvantage. Studies across the board show that children of two-parent families have a better chance of success in education, in business . . . in life. Yet too often, society doesn’t do enough to encourage these unions, even saying it doesn’t matter. In his new book, “The Children We Left Behind: How Western Culture Rationalizes Family Separation & Ignores The Pain Of Child Neglect,” Adam B. Coleman explains how this is a terrible mistake of selfishness. An excerpt:

Why didn’t my father love me? Why did my father abandon me? 

*** end quote ***

This really hit home.  

I can still feel the “sting” of rejection.  And, these and other questions just get suppressed.  Maybe I should have been in “therapy”?  Even though that was unheard of. 

At some point in time, one has to “grow up”, “grow a pair”, or “just accept the cards that life deals you”.  

Shut up and move on.

But especially as the “game clock” winds down, the “Shoulda, coulda, and woulda! “ thinking emerges.  How would I have been different and how would my life have evolved differently.

Unfortunately, there’s no “time” VCR to remind and rerun / retry life.

“… checked the Eternal Possibilities Machine, which generates all the possibilities for use in creating the alternative worlds. In all those probability lines …” CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 45

I guess every child feels this and maybe that’s why things are this way now.

One of the many many things we’ll never know.

Sigh!

POLITICAL: Age limit for politicians and bureaucrats!

Wednesday, April 2, 2025

Here’s an original thought:

If there is a minium age for political office, why can’t we have a maximum age for it. I suggest your full benefit retirement age for Social Security.

ENCOURAGING: Interesting heroic tale of the Polish “James Bond”

Tuesday, April 1, 2025

FROM PRIME VIDEO

The Resistance Fighter

The Resistance Fighter tells the incredible true story of the Polish “James Bond” war hero Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, a man of extraordinary courage, who served as an emissary between the commanders of Poland’s resistance movement and the Polish government in exile in London at the height of WWII.

I doubt I’d ever have, or would have had, the courage to act in this fashion.
