The Tale Of Two Presidents

Number 45 made another controversial phone call, this time to the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  The recording of the phone call was released today and listening to it explicitly shows the US president asking Mr. Raffensperger to alter the outcome of the general elections for the President's benefit. Number 45 also spoke of several conspiracy theories about election fraud that even facebook and twitter consider "fake" and baseless rumors. I think they would have to drag the 45th president from the White House come January 20th. Simply put, he is like a crime lord trying to avoid prosecution after being caught. 

Here in Manila where Covid-19 is still producing 900 new cases everyday, it is a horrible scandal for the Presidential Security Guard Unit to avail themselves of still unauthorized vaccines for the virus. Firstly, the vaccine was smuggled in, outside the FDA procedures, so it was dangerous and they used government money, the people's money,  to pay someone to get it illegally. Then the Philippine President defends this and forbids Congressional inquiries to proceed by instructing his guards not to answer any questions asked by lawmakers.  The President's act is disrespectful of another branch of government.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
