It’s a broad generalization to say that. There are still Republicans in Democratic strongholds and vice versa. States with smaller populations were still hit by COVID, just later than metropolitan areas (which makes sense). The problem with

“It's a new genesis for a new era. Thank you for using freenode, and Hello World, from the future. freenode is IRC. freenode is FOSS.” War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength?

At this point I wonder, why not just pull the plug and restart the server/network? I suppose you could suggest it would be off-putting to users, but the current method seems to have done the same. Does anyone know what the endgame is f

The closest U.S. example I can think of is Liberty Island and Ellis Island. They are clearly within the boundaries of New Jersey, yet a part of New York (state and city). These also fall under federal jurisdiction as they are homes to natio

I love thoughts like this. To play devil’s advocate, how might it have impacted Cold War events down the road? There’s a great book called “When the World Seemed New,” by Jeffrey Engel about the monumental world events which during George H

I would think launching fighter jets to force the landing of a passenger plane is considered an act of aggression. How will that play out with NATO, of which the origin/destination countries are a part of?

You bring up an interesting point. In the U.S. it’s been discussed how the recent stimulus has led to the improvements in the unemployment rate slowing. People aren’t interested in going back to low-paying, degrading jobs — like fast food.

Would public universities like Georgia Tech or Virginia Tech fit into this? I mention these schools because if your friend is looking to study out-of-state anyway, a non-resident may have an advantage in the application process. All things

If you do the latter, will you please write about it and share here?

Thank you! This is actually very helpful to know. I’ve been talking with someone about using a Creative Commons model for sharing content to gain attention/traffic, but I wasn’t sure if it worked in the wild.

Genuinely curious: What other ways would your audience have found you? I’ve given thought to how a new web site or business quickly grows an audience without social. With search engines, the site still needs to be “seen” by the engine and c

This is excellent. Good on you for doing such a positive, helpful thing. (I sincerely apologize up front for being the grammar police.) Where you have the badge noting the app is free on your web site, you write “3 touch access to helplines

First off, you are not alone. I know that probably seems glib. I’ve been through depression multiple times and somehow the only people who have gotten through to me are those who have been through it. It’s not that others don’t try to help,

I’ve worked in journalism for 25+ years and been employed by three of the four major media companies. Mainstream media is not necessarily left or right; it is corporate. Media bends to the demographics that can bring in revenue. If it wasn’

I find reading old news articles quite enjoyable. It is fun to look back at points in time and see how people viewed a situation in that moment. In this case, the doctors who were interviewed. I found it fascinating scientists were already

I signed on to the internet when everything was handled through terminals, so I’ve always viewed cyberspace — and the culture which developed there — as completely separate from IRL. People can take on different personas, customs, etc. So i

Celebration is not anything close the utopian city dreamed of by Walt Disney. EPCOT was still in blue sky planning stages when he died. It’s a pity we never saw what was possible. The land for Walt Disney World has its own government and po

The behavior I notice with my cats when they have some ‘nip is they get a little active then have a time where they just mellow out. But cats also sleep about 16 hours a day, so it is hard to determine at what point being mellow shifts into

I don’t think you’re a jerk, I just want to offer a different perspective. I appreciate projects like this as a newbie. People say, “you can learn a lot by reading other people’s code.” Unfortunately, most of the projects I try to learn fro

One more thought: I wonder how this will play with Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law. A provision of the protest law does not make a driver liable for injury or death if fleeing a mob. What if a person is in the path of a car fleeing? Does

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in South Florida where there are a number of communities (Black, Cuban, Venezuelan) that have staged protests in recent years. A common tactic — used prior to protests this summer — is to get
