There is a "view photo" button under the blocked photo. I assume it will take any phone user much less than two hours to find a way around the filter.

This makes me wonder, what is a burglar in 2022 stealing? We have no jewelry or cash in our house. We have a nice TV, but in the age of $250 4k TVs I can't imagine most burglars would chance breaking into a house to get a valuable TV.

In the late 90s, someone in my house decided to put an orange in a microwave for 30+ minutes just for the hell of it. Nothing happened for the first 20 minutes or so, but then the orange cracked open and belched out thick black smoke that s

As a consumer who's cellphone and IP-based landline are effectively useless for incoming phone calls, what can I do to help report these robo calls? We just recently purchased a landline and have told nobody our phone number, so 100% o

I think we need to acknowledge the reason this town is so safe: police are out there rounding up truant 9 year old kids.

I totally agree with this take. I'm also surprised that there hasn't been more strident push-back against the "conservatives are being banned from Twitter" story from conservatives themselves. If I were right-leaning I w
