Why do so many people in Trump's cabinet always look like they are pooping?

You know how we got rid of pennies? We should also get rid of minutes.

We'd just round to the nearest 5-minute mark. And then on watch faces we could just say the number the each hand points to so for 5:15 would we could just say "5:3"

Geez, I have yet to see a chat bot that can protect it's secrets.

I need to do a blog post on this, but it seems like a lot of old tricks have been lost over the years. One thing I was thinking about is all the ways to obscure an executable name in command prompts. For example, and I'm not sure how many of them are documented, but all of these work:

So, just to avoid any confusion, when you run Windows 11, the product you are using is Windows 10. The Windows version is 2009 (which of course doesn't fall between versions 2008 and 2016, duh). So if you are using Windows Server 2022, the product is called 2022 but the version is 2009 because those two numbers seem like the same but they aren't.

The "Windows Current Version" for Windows 11 is 6.3. But don't use that number because Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 were also version 6.3. Windows 8 was 6.2.

Or if you want, just use build number 22621, also known as 22H2. The version 22H2 update is also called the "Windows 11 2022 update" because there never was a 22H1. But at least they changed their naming scheme and didn't call it Fall update because it was spring in half the world when it came out, heh.
