> “Now you see what abolish prisons and police is”. I don’t want to live in a society that has abolished police and prisons. I don’t even know how people end up with this view - unless you want to shuffle around the definitions of “aboli

I’ve heard speculation that such poetic formulas act as a sort of data integrity system. It’s a form of error correction because what comes next in the poem has to fit certain rules. It’s not just useful for memorization, it actively helps

Cavernous is such an apt description. Fry’s uses giant warehouse sized buildings and even the distance in between racks and aisles is wide. I also remember the checkout lines having dozens of empty checkout stations that I never saw used. I

I’m not surprised, but this makes me feel incredibly sad. I built my first PC using parts from there. I’m going to miss it. But once Fry’s pivoted to be a consignment store that was mostly empty and selling pallets of bottled water and perf

As I sit in a cold, dark Dallas apartment just waiting for my cell phone to also run out of electricity, I am reminded of The Black Swan. While shopping for electricity providers I saw deals from companies like Griddy that promised to save

My understanding was that the “first wave”, so to speak, of Gab users were the hardcore folks who genuinely had extremist views. Free Speech and censorship resistant platforms tend to attract users in waves. The first wave is the most extre

This is going to sound incredibly cold and callous, but the comparison needs to be made. One woman was shot. 4 others died for medical reasons. One was a heart attack. One was a police officer. Tragic deaths, to be sure. And the photos real
