It's ironic that now that a study comes out that supports your view, you accept it, but when the big studies said something opposite people were just "blindly trust the US public health authorities".

I'm not into the gaming community but I suspect there's a big contigent in the pre-teen/teen age range. GameStop could pivot into a local gaming/community place safe for pre-teens and teens that is semi-supervised. Par

Apple under Cook is a juggernaut. I'm not sure why you would use Apple as an example. Same with MS and Satya. You could argue MS floundered with Ballmer.

That's a really slick website. However it still can't tell the difference between 3 letter words (or 4) that also happen to be symbols. Take for example APPS on the Ticket Sentiment ( https://swaggystocks.com/dash

I searched a bunch of the symbols from the top of the list. Basically any outside of well known GME, AMC, BB, NAKD, NOK, it's all just false positives.

In my limited experience, taxis drivers know the routes and where to go. It's obvious they drive a lot, but they often drive aggresively. Uber drivers on the other hand are safer drivers, but I find they never listen to the GPS and

I tried Ecosia for probably 2-3 weeks. It is awful, correction, bing is awful. The ads are totally not related to my search and my search results are much worse than Google. Had to uninstall it.

I wouldn't trust an add-on company to be able to plant trees properly, and why would we? I'd rather they be the middle man between me and the tree planting companies.

Ya this is kind of a non-story. They were probably bidding on 'Signal' prior to this current set of events anyways. And since Signal doesn't appear to be bidding on it's own name, Facebook is probably paying very littl

In Canada (where I'm from) our party leaders are elected by the party members. Whenever there is a change in leader, there is some party convention and paying members of the party are asked to vote. Anyone can pay to be a member, but

It'll see another bump when 330 million cheques for $600 (or $2000) go out to all American's soon. A lot of people will have some extra money to invest. Look for bump in TSLA then too, a favourite of RH investors.

I totally agree, you want a hard to win contest so more and more people tune in. But I think you want...need... a winner. The radio station and the advertiser want a picture in the newspaper with someone holding a $30,000 cheque, you want

My issue (and I'm not even an American) is why wasn't a large police presence there from the start? The Proud Boys, Q groups etc made it very clear this was going to happen. People can claim they weren't being serious, it wa

I find it odd to say taking him off twitter is censorship. Twitter is used by 22% of adult Americans (according to Pew). Trump and any president, on a whim can speak live to all Americans through all cable news channels. He could have cal

Even if they physically had the bill and ensured it was in circulation in the city, the chances that someone has it and is listening to that radio station is so small. The radio station had to know it was an unwinnable contest. Why anyone

This is interesting. The copy on the page is pretty broad (beyond this single spot about horses and all small animals), suggesting they accept any type of shipment. However, when you look at the request they are almost 100% horses or other

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've run a few, albeit very small, campaigns on FB. I set up targetting (occupation and geography) and I would get people outside of my target 'liking' my ad. I'd reach out anyway
