  • You have a domain credential. You need to strip domain rights out of the system. The best way forward is to either wipe and start fresh or create a local user account to use as your new primary. You can likely pull the app data folders over into the new user as well as the documents and desktop folders. If you move the data you need, you can then delete the user folder for the old account. Most registry changes for domain users are Current_User entries which means you will have a clean registry as well.






  • Black folks often use the N word casually to refer to each other as a form of taking back the word’s meaning. It used to be used exclusively in a racist fashion. The primary difference is that with the African American accent, the ending sound -ER is changed to more of an -UH sound. Sometimes, rarely and depending on the context, it is allowable for non-black people to say it with this accented pronunciation. But under no circumstances is it in good taste to use the original -ER ending to refer to a black person as a non-black person, that form is only used as a slur. When people refer to the “Hard R”, this is what they are talking about, the difference between the accented pronunciation as slang vs the original pronunciation intended as a slur.










  • I think I can shed some light on this. In California, you pretty much have to have a car. There are roughly 40 million residents in California. When you get a car, a license plate is issued. When you register a car, a license plate is issued. When you order a vanity plate, a license plate is issued. The same car can be registered to several license plates before any of them return to circulation. If a plate stays inactive for a number of years, then it returns to circulation to be reissued. I’m not sure about California, but some states it’s 10 years, others have 20 years and I’m sure still others have other lengths of time for these numbers to expire. The reason for this is that you can let your registration lapse and still re-register your car once you can afford to do so. Or a car can sit in some legal dispute for a long period of time. Various reasons a car’s registration may lapse but still want to be registered again some day. So let’s say you buy a used car in California and then register new vanity plates on it. Let’s also say you’re the 3rd owner. It’s not unreasonable that that particular car have 4 different license plate numbers associated with it that have not been reregistered or are currently in use. Also, many people own more than one car.



  • I think it’s perfectly fine for a religious organization to be tax exempt provided they provide the same level of service as other non-profit orgs. I also think we desperately need to overhaul the requirements and auditing practices of organizations claim to be non-profits.

    I don’t think a religious organization on its face deserves to be tax exempt.
