Review of a book; A True History of the United States

(ISBN 9781586422530) Indigenous Genocide, Racialized Slavery, Hyper-Capitalism, Militarist Imperialism, and Other Overlooked Aspects of American Exceptionalism by Daniel A. Sjursen. I graduated with a degree in computer science, specifically software engineering. Like many young people during my studies, I did not pay much attention to history; that will come later. Later on, I found it challenging to locate quality history books, particularly those focused on the Roman or Napoleonic eras. Most of the books are overloaded with opinions rather than facts about actual events. Many historical books may place you in a challenging intellectual situation. The writer’s expectations require you to believe that someone with a PhD or exceptionally intelligent individuals has predestined everything for you; all you need to do is embrace the written word. This can be challenging for those with a reasonable IQ. In a search for a decent book, I found A True History of the United States: Indigenous Genocide, Racialized Slavery, Hyper-Capitalism, Militarist Imperialism, and Other Overlooked Aspects of American Exceptionalism by Daniel A. Sjursen. (ISBN 9781586422530) There is a wealth of information available on the subject, and in this particular case, the author is an American patriot, so you can’t go wrong, right? I was thrilled to find out that Daniel was a US veteran and a teacher to West Point cadets. I placed an order for a book, and the first quarter was excellent. After the first quarter of the book, the author lost basic common sense, and logic began to fade. The book’s most frustrating parts were his explanations for events that didn’t make sense and should not be in the book. It appears that he lacked sufficient material, resulting in the publication of stories devoid of any meaningful context. When the author explained a “miningful” event, a second issue arose, leading to its widespread acceptance as normal, which was far from acceptable. However, the events lack logic and do not align with the author’s intended message. The most significant disillusionment stemmed from a real-life incident in Kosovo during the 1990s, where he lacked the knowledge to elucidate the actual events, instead relying solely on information from another source. I possess extensive knowledge on this subject, and his explanation of the Kosovo problem was approximately 95% incorrect. This leads me to believe that not all of the information in his book is entirely accurate. I believe the book’s author aims to sell it swiftly by using the book’s name as a marketing tool. In my opinion, the marketing strategy for this book heavily relies on psychology rather than historical facts. I also noticed a variety of writing styles, which led me to believe that the book is merely a repurposed text from various sources, lacking any intellectual value. To conclude this review, I believe it is incorrect to endorse this type of “literature.”

How to install phpMyAdmin on LOCAL localWP.com server

I used to use the UWAMP local server exclusively for years, and while I still enjoyed it, I had to look for other options because UWAMP is not evolving and updating correctly in a timely manner, which is troubling. I tried WAMP, XAMP, and some others. For those who are unaware, these are internal local servers built with the PHP programming language, MySQL database, OpenSSL for SSL support, and Apache web server for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Then I found LOCAL (yes, that is the name) server. LOCAL may install WordPress automatically as many times as you like and create as many accounts with web pages as you like. You can check out more about LOCAL here: localWP.com LOCAL may be run locally on your PC, or if you choose the advanced option, it can be run remotely from your PC to the World Wide Web. It is completely free. It should go without saying that Local is both a fantastic concept and an incredible piece of technology. I am using it to test my ideas before uploading them to an online server. I would like to know if it is possible to install phpMyAdmin on LOCAL server. Please let me know if you know how, or even if it is feasible at all. I’m grateful. 🙂

The Chicago Cubs and Their Historic 2016 World Championship: Breaking the Curse of the Goat

Wringley Field Home of Chicago Cubs

For over a century, the Chicago Cubs were plagued by a curse that seemed to prevent them from winning a World Series. This curse, known as the Curse of the Goat, became a part of the team’s history and folklore. However, in 2016, the Cubs finally broke the curse and won their first World Series in 108 years. The Curse of the Goat The Curse of the Goat originated in 1945 when a tavern owner named Billy Sianis attempted to bring his pet goat, Murphy, to Wrigley Field during Game 4 of the World Series. Sianis and his goat were denied entry, and he allegedly cursed the team, saying, “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more.” From that moment on, the Cubs suffered a series of disappointments and near-misses, leading many to believe in the curse. Throughout the years, the Curse of the Goat became deeply ingrained in the Cubs’ identity. It was often cited as the reason for their continued misfortune and inability to win a World Series. Fans and players alike became superstitious, fearing that any attempt to break the curse would only make matters worse. The Long Wait The Cubs’ championship drought was the longest in professional sports history, and it seemed like the curse was destined to endure. Year after year, the team would come close to winning, only to fall short in heartbreaking fashion. Generations of fans grew up without ever witnessing a championship celebration. However, things began to change in the early 2010s. The Cubs started to build a young and talented roster, led by players like Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez. Under the guidance of manager Joe Maddon, the team began to believe that they could overcome the curse and bring a championship back to Chicago. The 2016 World Series The 2016 World Series was a historic showdown between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians. Both teams had long championship droughts and were hungry for a title. The series captivated baseball fans around the world, as it showcased the resilience and determination of both franchises. After a grueling seven-game series, the Cubs found themselves down three games to one. It seemed like the curse was once again going to deny them their long-awaited championship. However, the team rallied and won the next two games, forcing a decisive Game 7. Game 7 was one of the most intense and dramatic games in World Series history. The Cubs took an early lead, only to see the Indians tie the game in the eighth inning. Rain delayed the game, adding to the tension and anticipation. Finally, in the tenth inning, the Cubs scored two runs and held off the Indians to secure a 8-7 victory. A New Era The Cubs’ victory in the 2016 World Series was a moment of pure joy and relief for the team and its fans. It marked the end of the curse and the beginning of a new era for the franchise. The city of Chicago erupted in celebration, as millions of Cubs fans finally saw their team achieve the ultimate goal. Since breaking the curse, the Cubs have remained competitive and have made multiple playoff appearances. While they haven’t won another World Series, the curse no longer hangs over the team like a dark cloud. Conclusion The Curse of the Goat will forever be a part of the Chicago Cubs’ history. It symbolizes the decades of frustration and heartbreak that the team and its fans endured. However, the 2016 World Series victory showed that curses can be broken and dreams can come true. The Cubs’ triumph serves as a reminder that perseverance and belief can overcome even the most daunting obstacles.

Issue with T-Mobile “imaginary” account password.

I rented internet access and a T-Mobile modem. I could essentially pay for what you use and return a modem when you’re done with it; there was no deadline or specified time for returns. I canceled service after a year of use in April by calling one month in advance. I then followed up to confirm that the final bill for the month of May, which was due on April 25, had been paid. I sent a modem back to the T-Mobile shop in San Diego on June 1. I therefore made every effort to fulfill the conditions of the contract. I next traveled to Europe. Three months later, I received a notification from a family member handling my US mail that I owed T-Mobile over $120 in fees and that they would be reporting me to credit agencies. I decided to call T-Mobile since I thought there might have been a slight misunderstanding. I made five or six calls before realizing they did not want to assist me since they kept asking for my password (???) “to log in to my account. “I have no password; no one has ever given it to me one, and no one has ever asked me for a password when I’ve called T-Mobile in the past. And during the period I had service with them, I did phone them at least five times about various concerns. When a customer service representative informed me that my closed account was visible on the screen in front of him, the irony increased. He provided me with a ton of information, but neither he nor anyone else wanted to find a proper solution. In other words, T-Mobile was pressuring me to pay a bill that doesn’t exist because “I did not have a password.” On other occasions, customer service representatives were just hanging up on me because they didn’t know what to do. I paid all of my bills in full, and I was a good customer. The question of how many millions of dollars are pilfered in this manner is unknown. People typically pay this kind of bill in order to avoid getting into problems because they are simply too terrified of a large, powerful company reporting them to credit agencies. And in this instance, I believe T-Mobile is seeking precisely that. And why am I certain that this is a shady situation? The problem is very straightforward; all the evidence was there. To put it as simply as possible, T-Mobile created an imaginary password situation that you must provide to them to access your account, (???) even though they never asked for one when I was an active customer. This is because they want your money anyway anyhow, but they don’t want to solve the problem, at least not in your favor! Shortly after I complained to the Better Business Bureau and met with a group preparing to file a class action lawsuit, then the issue was remedied. In this instance, they simply canceled my “debt” without asking for a password. Please review T-Mobile ratings at the BBB at https://www.bbb.org/us/wa/bellevue/profile/cell-phone-supplies/t-mobile-usa-inc-1296-27026359 As of right now, T-Mobile has had slightly under 24,000 complaints in the last three years. Only about one-third is resolved with a rating of one star. This is a shame for a company that serves so many people.

Why are the majority of government workers so rude and impolite?

Every time I have to visit the US Post Office or DMV, the clerks in San Diego, CA 92103, are extremely unpleasant without any discernible cause. Especially with people who speak with an accent. They appear to be acting impolitely, rudely, or inappropriately just because they can. Most individuals are accustomed to keeping their lips shut and moving on because if they say anything, they risk getting into trouble. Could you please comment on this matter? Thank you.
