Of course seat 3. That would be the only one capable of a really interesting conversation. Just don't sign anything. 😉

This line was very telling "Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News..."

Fox News is basically a Russian state propaganda arm.

I can't imagine what it must be like going through life being afraid of everything all the time and also having a fantasy in which you get to kill someone.

The orders: "Don't get caught"

What about "I just don't want one." is that not a legitimate line of thought? That was what I based my decision on. I have never understood why the default state was marriage and then have a family. I can tell you that me and my childless wife are family.

I am glad he is saying it now but Trump was always a self serving, vindictive, money hungry traitor. And this man helped that win the office the first time.

I will never understand the parishioner's mentality, seeing him ask for money every week (probably every day) and then seeing him and his wife wear tons of jewelry and expensive clothing. "They sure look great wearing things I paid for, wonder if I will buy food or pay my rent this week"

Because they make his hands look huge.

How could you write that on a sign and step back and say "Yep, that gets my point across."?

Now he actually looks like the old man he played in Mary Poppins. ☺

Being able to use TikTok on your phone doesn't make you tach savvy. They don't know anything about how it all works. It's a false dichotomy.

If it still requires a Facebook account, no way. I walked away from that site 8 years ago and never missed it once.

The Cuecat: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat

Came at a time when there weren't barcodes everywhere and QR codes didn't exist yet. Companies had to publish Cuecat specific barcodes, it was much easier to just type in the URL by the time you figured out you could use it at all.

If this type of basic science research interests you, in the US there is a federal agency dedicated to this pursuit; the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov)

95% of its annual budget goes out the door in the form of research grants to colleges, small businesses and individuals. Most of the research has no immediate application but has lead to some very exciting discoveries. The biggest in the recent past was that orange donut picture of a black hole that was everywhere.

With Sonos shitting the bed with its app update and now the prospect of Alexa being destroyed by fees and AI, my smart home infrastructure is falling apart. So disappointing.

At one of the places I worked as a manager I oversaw a staff of in-house techs that made desk-side calls when things needed done. After many complaints, I had to have a talk with one of my staff because he smelled and that I couldn't have him come back to the office until he cleaned up. After that I had weekly check ins with him until the new hygiene regimen became routine.

That was one of the hardest conversations I have ever had and the look on his face killed me.

The entire world lost that day but at least Obama didn't lose an election to that orange idiot.

I have worked in the same office for 22 years, no one knows my birthday, what my hobbies are or where I live other than "downtown". There is work me and then the real me and never the twain shall meet.

Back in the mid 90s, when I was a very low income earner and filing the 1040EZ, I could call an IRS phone automation and input my SSN and the relevant numbers and be done in minutes. Did that go away with the internet? Seems like they were on the ball technically then.

I have a suspicion that a mother who named their daughter Heaven backwards might have agreed with the Republicans up until the time it affected her daughter.
