My point is that if you're an expert that people are supposed to trust - you shouldn't make statements about things you don't know yet. You seem to be ok glossing over that because you want to talk about the current admin whe

You have a good counter. To add to "don't wear masks" though - WHO, CDC, Fauci all had poor and inaccurate guidance as well. It's like none of these experts have sane defaults when they don't know about something. K

I love this feature. It's great knowledge. Some people want to censor the morons but that would remove the amount of morons you could readily identify.

You're overthinking this. It's more like consumers love cheap goods. Chinese policies enable the supply.

Property taxes already work quite well. Well except for CA where a lot of homeowners have arbitrarily locked in low property taxes.

I'm reusing an old Sony 4k handycam with an hdmi to usb c capture card and it looks way better than most. The larger sensor helps a ton.

Some trees are way better than others with fire. In the western part of the country we have Jeffrey Pines [1]. They have branches that start really high up and their bark is super thick so they are considered fire resistant trees - highly f

I think so. Many sites have some sort of sensitive user data that could be exploited. If you work in ecommerce, you likely have access to the payment gateway as well.

From what I read, the 64 GB should be sufficient for most - about 40 apps/games. I preordered the 64gb and got the extended battery (going to try coding on immersedvr.com), although it looks like you may be better off with an external

Walmart's actual return policy has always been better though. I've taken stuff there that I don't even know was purchased there and got a credit. This was some time ago so not sure if it changed, but they used to give you a f
