I had to have it after becoming part of the sysadmin team at the company I work at.
Very safe... but a little annoying.

Just remember to turn off password saving in your browser so that it doesn't write the old one (Last Pass is good at automatically catching password changes).

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

I can see the error on first view, but once you know what that it is NOT racist, and is just a bad angle, then why get angry? Why continue the "controversy"? Just say, "woah, bad photo. Probably should have really checked that before printing. But no harm, no foul. Honest error. Not racist" and go on.
Yet to the libs, even when they KNOW it is not racist, and basically an optical illusion, they still want to cry "racism" and send it to the NAACP and demand apologies and all that. Play the victim card!

Something like this came up at work today.
I've been responsible for training a new hire, who is black.
The other day, when I was looking for a portable seat to put in my truck so he could ride along with me, an older lady I work with made a joke about how he would have to just get a rope to tie to the back of the truck. My trainee told me he considered this offensive.
Knowing the lady who said this, I know she didn't have anything malicious in mind. But given that the guy I'm training is from Texas, I understand he might have been thinking of this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd_Jr. Honestly, I was thinking more along the lines of the opening scene of Back to the Future where the guy hitches on to passing cars with his skateboard. The idea of anything more sinister didn't even cross my mind until he said something today.
Basically, I affirmed that I saw where he was coming from but told him that I knew the lady wasn't trying to offend him. I'm really hoping he doesn't escalate the situation by filing a complaint.Last edited by KingsGambit; 09-07-2016, 10:49 PM."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
