HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors
Or spend $15 more and get a Brother Laser printer.

Reddit files to list IPO on NYSE under the ticker RDDT
Interesting. Today Reddit sent a new TOS letter to an old email address (I don't have any Reddit accounts because fuck u/spez). The username it referenced was created today. I've never used this address with Reddit and don't have any confirmation emails in my box or spam indicating someone else tried to create this account. I changed the password and deleted the account, but I have to wonder if they might be trying to boost their subscriber numbers for an IPO.

Seems reasonable. Where do I put in my social security number and mother's maiden name?

Florida Schools Will Teach How Slavery Brought ‘Personal Benefit’ to Black People
Not surprising. I had some cousins in Florida who were taught in school that the south "technically" won the war. They never could quite explain it, but absolutely believed it.

On Mastodon I heard them referred to as "Twatzis" and "Hoes for Hitler" and I almost pissed my pants.

US Sen. Mitch McConnell has a possible stroke during a press event
Reply in thread
FAST can help to identify a possible stroke but the lack of FAST symptoms doesn't rule out a stroke. So CVA/TIA is still a possibility along with a dozen other things.

Iran's goal is to damage or sink an American warship without being directly culpable and without risking their own people.

If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now
I just went back to Edge from Firefox. I've been a long-time user, but it seems like too many of the sites I use don't work properly and some not at all. It sucks because I've always preferred FF, but I gotta get sh*t done.

I logged in to Reddit today
Yup. They refused to pay me for my comments and posts so I overwrote and deleted them all before deleting my account.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. condemned over false claims that COVID-19 was "ethnically targeted"

"is targeted to..." implies deliberate action, which is exactly the message he wanted to convey. It's just SSDD for this nutjob.

Sickle cell does not "target" blacks, it is genetically inherited trait. It affects blacks more often as it is thought to have evolved in sub-Saharan Africans as protection from malaria. https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/biology/index.html. So your statement isn't really a conspiracy, it's just uninformed.
RFK Jr is on video talking about bioweapons and in that context said that "There’s an argument that it is ethnically targeted..." https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews. People of color are affected by most diseases more that white people. This is not a new phenomenon and is related to racial disparities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8513546/. Also, the Chinese were hit as hard as everyone else.
RFK Jr has a history of promoting conspiracy theories. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2023/06/06/rfk-jr-makes-unfounded-claims-about-mass-shootings-covid-19-here-are-all-the-conspiracies-he-promotes/?sh=20e82d7e3acc
I'm not making up any reasons to dislike RFK Jr. I dislike him based on his own words and actions.
