Many years ago I used to play around with CyanogenMod and Linux. Life with work and a family became too busy to fuss with that stuff, but I'm rapidly approaching the point where abuse from android and Microsoft make using a less polish

Trust has been plummeting for a while now. It seems likely AI video will exacerbate the problem, but I don't see it as a driver nearly as much as the increasing cultural divide in the west. It has always been the case that you can trus

We've refined and relabeled the art of naming the demon that possess a person based on the characteristics of their symptoms. Then put a scientific sheen on the proscribed exorcisms and potions, without understanding the underlying iss

In my little corner of heaven we get meth heads tying grappling chains to their trucks in order to yank down live power lines to sell for the copper. I have no idea how none of them have died yet, as frequently as this seems to occur.
