I can't read the article because paywall, but I did see one group of Apple employees saying that forcing them come back to the office, even part-time was somehow anti-diversity. They'll say anything to get what they feel they dese

My most recent build was a micro atx case. The hard drive cage was especially a pain to work with. I've been thinking about a mini ITX but I'm not sure my poor knuckles could handle it.

I don't disagree, but I have two issues when people bring up Fox and news radio. Fox is a single entity, and let's be fair in terms of conservative/Republican vs liberal/Democrat, the split between media outlets is like

You mean the social media sites that made every effort to suppress stories that reflected poorly on Democrats during the last election (and before)? Anyone who trusts Big Tech, social media, or Late Night talk shows to give them factual inf

Yeah, I do the same. Although my 1070 is very long in the tooth thanks to the last couple of years of GPU madness. And now that prices have come down significantly, it's not really a good time financially for me to buy a new GPU. Murph

For someone with large hands like myself, it can be a pain sometimes to deal with the space issues and angles. And those tiny screws.

Instead of cleaning out "some" apps, I would have suggested a complete wipe and clean install of his OS (after backing up, of course). Better yet, an SSD is always a great speed upgrade (I'm assuming he has a mechanical HD),

It's so strange that this was posted today (for me at least). Yesterday we had the FDNY break in to the house because there was a fire in a garage somewhat connected to the house. I heard some people banging around in the hallway and w

Let's face it, the only reason that 'fake news' exists in its current form is because the corporate media has done such a piss-poor job of holding to journalistic ethics, which has been declining steadily for decades. If peo

Businesses are supposed to be separate entities from the individuals who own them. I don't understand why people think businesses need to be political. If that's the case then just start your own Political Action Committee.

I literally just watched a video on the Pine64 Pro and the reviewer basically said he couldn't recommend it.

I stopped using Google News once I realized they literally won't even let you add certain sites to your feed for no other reason than politics. So I now use Inoreader to curate my own news feed from RSS feeds as well as many sites that

For road trips, I always go to the classics. Lord of the Rings. Either the Rob Inglis audiobook or the BBC Radio adaptation. If I get to The Ride of the Rohirrim, I know I've driven too far.

""Nazi" is not a slur, and it should not be used for anyone who does not advocate those ideas. But it should be used for those who do. And for those: no peace, no sympathy, no quarter, and no mercy." Yeah...I don't

"intolerant of the intolerant" I don't like that phrase. Because it's extremely vague and implies that things other than physical violence could be a focus of suppression. Intolerant opinions and speech are not and shoul

Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying. It sounded like you were saying that the general public should be violent towards people who are "intolerant" as a way to promote tolerance. But now I see that that could not possibly

I don't understand what you mean by "being selectively violent". Who decides when it's time to be "selectively violent" and who gets to apply this "selective violence"? Because I'm sure this same

> "Intolerating intolerance, violently if we must is the only way for tolerance to exist." No, That literally is the antithesis of tolerance. Also, IF (and that's a big if) some things are to be proscribed, they must be pr

I have no issue with bringing attention to police violence against any citizen. The problem is that not every instance of police violence or killing is unjustified, which is the way it is portrayed by BLM and the media. In fact, most of the

Is that supposed to mean something? These days, anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders is labeled a "fascist" by the leftists.

Yeah, I've never felt the way about Tom Bombadil that the author implies. I find his character fascinating. But I also understand why Jackson didn't include him in the movies. There's only so much you can do before a movie be

You mentioned the social and political resistance to the covid vaccine. I watched a supercut of world leaders and health officials saying with absolute confidence that the vaccines were "effective" and that, if you took it, you wo

I'm going to buy lots of beachfront property and fly around in my private jet. Seems to be what all the other "concerned" people I keep hearing talk about this are doing.

I have kind of the opposite problem from most. I tend to not be very social at work and avoid joining groups, cliques, etc. or making small talk. And it seems to be an imperative for some people to try and "draw me out of my shell&quot

The article doesn't give enough information to determine whether this was a reasonable judgment. What actually happened when they discussed the event afterwards that led to his termination? That could have been completely justified eve
