In this day and age, no clue. You have to look way back to find a decent prominent Republican, possibly Eisenhower.

TIL the fediverse basically DDOS's sites when you share a link.
I added a rule in my .htaccess for their user agents to direct all requests to a static page on my domain.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Don't check the dipstick of a gifted car.
They have the same meaning that you're trying see if the horse is healthy and the car's engine is in good condition.

And they still haven't decided what the definitions of a catch, pass interference, taunting, unsportsmanlike conduct, roughing the passer, and holding are.

Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned'

It seems according to the video the surgeon had already seen the patient in a state of undress so this is even bigger than HIPAA. If they were recording, he's probably doing time for each patient visit.

Trump says Canada 'wants the benefits' of being a U.S. state 'without being one' as trade dispute deepens

He has no concept of a mutually beneficial deal or how international relations work. Any deal where the other side walks away happy is a bad deal to him.

Each channel is on a different frequency band on the coax line for analog cable so the cable guy installed a notch filter for each channel he wanted blocked. Cable is digital now so that method no longer works.

The wind is so unpredictable
The Autumn Wind is a people
Struggling to be free
With a phone and car, they see quite far
And trackers all they see
Their bodies are well covered
And no one sees their faces
With lasers, saws, and power tools
Put fascists in their places
They go across the country
To knock down one by one
Care not to see just where they be
For this is not for fun
The Autumn Wind is a people
Who want to be alone
No one should know just where they go
Or what is on their phone

How about that. There's no cameras in the upper west Side.

Sometimes the rich people want them. There's one Flock camera at the entrance of a nearby rich neighborhood aimed into it to catch cars entering or exiting. All the others in the county are next to county property or along roads with high traffic.

Reddit forces login to access old.reddit.com

These are Pushshift torrents from 2005 to 2025: https://sciop.net/datasets/reddit. There are two data sets, one by month and the other by subreddit. Each is about 3.5 TB compressed and based on the compression ratio I've seen, about 30 TB uncompressed. This is without any sort of media, just text.
Reddit sent AcademicTorrents a request to take them down so AI models couldn't use them as a way to avoid paying Reddit hundreds of millions of dollars for training data.

A poll of the UK had Binface at 33%, Farage at 20%, and the rest either neither or other. For the same poll done in Clacton, it was 73% Farage, 20% Binface, and the rest neither or other.

Depends on the person. I asked for some because I didn't have an MP3 player and would burn CDs to listen to while on the bus. I couldn't buy them myself because I was too far from a store that sold them and couldn't drive.

Flock Camera Tells Cop New Car Didn’t Have Insurance When It Did, Cop Writes Ticket Anyway
This is both on the camera and the officers. They can look up the insurance status of a vehicle through the state database.
