This is what happens when writers of articles and editors have no clue what they are writing about.

I am confident NOBODY on the DOGE team that codes called COBOL a "Regimen". Having worked briefly with COBOL and PL/X (a custom variant of PL/1)... I have better names for cobol.

But good luck getting rid of it. (I remember opening a DB table, and seeing a group of 8 fields, repeated like 24 times in a row, numbered, and when I asked WTH? I was told. Oh, that's how COBOL stores an ARRAY of options. I said "Well it's ONE way to do it. And it's clearly wrong"... But the normal way takes too many I/O cycles, LOL).

So, the upside of the COBOL is that it is working.
After that. Ughh.

In my book, you add another language inside the cobol code, a more modern language, like Python.
Make them interoperate. And slowly rewrite the system into Pythonized COBOL. Until you have nothing but Python remaining. Then refactor it to normal.

Otherwise, having worked on huge code bases. Good luck. It aint moving unless you just write a new version and switch.

Meanwhile... CitiBank still using their COBOL screens! While you scan your card and type a pin into a machine.

Actually, the incumbent "Independent" mayor is running for re-election, and is very likely to win.

It's Orwellian how well they control the messaging.

I just spoke to a cashier complaining about getting rid of the illegals who "do the jobs nobody wants to do".

I said, if I offered to pay you $1,000/hr to clean toilets would you?

So, it's about "At that price". you are right, they are willing to come here and work for far less.

But did you know they send a TON of money back home, so it doesn't help our economy. Next, because they support their family back home, they have learned they can file income taxes, and get a REFUND for supporting the family members they name. This has ONLY made it out in a couple of clips, but when most people find out about this scam...

It's just like the EBT cards they get, the free healthcare, etc. etc. Most people don't realize the true cost of these people on our society.

She finally got the point that "Oh, so they keep our wages lower"... EXACTLY.

Now, she is no convert. But the dam has a chip in it.

The last one says it all.
He was the hunted and now he is the hunter. YES!
Great bunch!

Me dino me done popped everyone a point here.

Me dino would be called some kind of homo something for my solution for biological male tyrannies who are mediocre losers at male sports.
Don't ruin female sports! Dress up like girlies and play against each other and leave them real women alone.
By playing each other some of you woo-woos can actually win.
Oh, well. New sad thought comes to me dino now~~~
1. Doubt even gays would watch tranny sports.
2. Also trannies would rather pick on girls so they can so selfishly be allowed by libtarded idiots to always cheat women to win.

Nice collection, OUC! Thank you, again, for your efforts in the Gulch!

OK, now I can't unsee this new definition of MAGA, LMAO!

Yes, it was supposed to be a warning, not a documentary.

According to my DNA testing, I'm part Scandinavian, too. Love pumpernickel!

we'll see

A lot of people are going to FAFO soon.

Maybe so Dino, maybe so . . .

Yep, the Dems are wannabe commies. They hate anyone who gets in the way of that treasonous goal.
Not to mention RINOs.

Whoa! I'm half Swedish! Maybe me dino liking pumpernickel is in my DNA.

Sailing the Carlinda to Baltimore for the Christmas Parade in November we sailed down the Sound/to the river and right to the City, docking over night a short distance from the Towers during Andrew Cumo's time and the City was clean and safe for probably the first time in it's life!

The Swedish store near Home when I was young used to make Pumpernickel with pieces of oranges like one would make raisin bread . . . it was mouth watering!

Thanks Freedom, That's what Capitalism and Competition does, something Communist will never understand.

It's a look back, so now we look Forward.

Anyone living in New York who wants to know what's coming should read Rand's 'We The Living'. That should cheer them up! /s

I'm a Type 2 diabetic but I do cheat with sugar every now and then.
Off and on during the last 2 weeks my blood sugar was too low.
So I got to cheat with something sweet! Readings are normal now.

He was one reason I'm glad I had a remote and could change the channel as soon as he made an appearance or sound.

My first encounter with NYC was ca 1992 while taking a train from Western NY to Florida. We had to change trains in NYC and even had to change stations at the time (I think we came in to Penn Central and had to leave from New York Central or visa versa - only one station is used today). Anyway we had a short walk from one station to the other and during the walk there was a gang beating the hell out of some guy while the rest of the gang acted as crowd control. One member yelled at me and my wife and a few others changing trains, "Get back you people! Can't you see there's a mugging going on here?". Any thoughts of visiting NYC were permanently erased at that moment. I'm glad it's 400 miles away from where I live.

Yeah, if either of us can coax H. G. Wells to swing by with his time machine we can go get some!

I remember going over there on my bike early in the morning so I can get a loaf fresh out of the oven. Also, way back in my youth when I had a morning paper route the last stop was a local doughnut shop that the owner made fresh doughnuts on premises - YUMMY! The glazed doughnuts still hot were the best ever - melt in your mouth goodness - bummer I can't have that much sugar anymore!

HAD to +1 THAT!!!!

When politics became a career, which it was NEVER meant to be, it marked the beginning of the end.
