Someone asked about the Hunter Biden files. I responded with g n e w s . c o m . It took a few weeks, but they finally found it and suspended me for it. Others they suspended for mentioning the news organization that mentioned gnews.

I've had some websites that wouldn't load properly and I had to fallback to firefox. (Prior to today, I was using 3.5. So hopefully that has been fixed)

Bubbles are great if you are on the outside looking in at how a specific group thinks. Bubbles are horrible if you are on the inside trying to explore your thoughts.

As much as I like to hate on reddit (I'm a permanently suspended user), not every sub there is trash. There are some great subs there on very specific niche topics.

Arbery, like Rittenhouse, was not the aggressor. Rittenhouse had a firearm to defend himself, Arbery did not. If Arbery was successful in taking the firearm from his assailants, self-defense would be a very viable claim.

With land, not using it is the equivalent to a privately funded conservation site. Its not necessarily a bad thing. Many capitalistic countries also have adverse possession laws, where if someone uses the land for X number of years, it beco

I really enjoyed listening to Andrew Branca. He is a very articulate attorney and knows self defense law very well. I got the impression that Barnes would have also made a very good defense for Rittenhouse, but at a very great expense to th

That case would be the equivalent if Grosskreutz killed Rittenhouse and tried to claim self defense. An alternative equivalent would be if Arbery was successful at taking away the firearm and killing his attackers.

It's an all or nothing deal. If the first death was murder, then all that followed were likely murder too.

You would enforce it with tariffs.

Yes. Tariffs for all countries that have lower labor law and environmental standards.

That solves a different problem. The ground is only used if there is a short somewhere in the unit. (Potentially getting a shock from touching the toaster.) A polarized plug prevents the elements from being a live wire.

Yes. New products get announced at CES and start being available in a couple months. Retailers need to make room for inventory and sell off last years models.

I was going to skip the video, but after knowing the metrics I needed to add to the level of bewilderment. The video has been up for ~80k hours. It just got 80% of its views in the last hour.

IIRC, new TV models usually come out in late spring / early summer. So best time to buy should be around then.

The Weatherman Stick (or Golf) Umbrella looks like it might be BIFL. Its non collapsing, so less moving parts and has an aggressive canopy that claims it can withstand 55mph winds. I have never used it, just going on looks of how its constr

Just a polarized plug would do it. That would make it so the switch is before the elements and not after.

Several years ago, I worked at a call center that had very old equipment. The wornout membrane keyboards created a great deal of pain in my hands with each keystroke. After that I became a believer in mechanical keyboards. The pain went awa

If you use the mouse a lot, I would go tenkeyless. The smaller travel distance helps a great deal with -tennis- mouse elbow. the lack of 10keys is annoying at sometimes, so I would recommend buying a separate 10keyboard. Sometimes I like to

A honeycomb lens filter (commonly used in military rifle optics) would greatly reduce the angle that the camera can be detected.

The dose makes the poison. At the usual dosages that Ivermectin is given at, it is considered to have no toxic effects (with the exception of those that have a severe Loa Loa infection).

Temporal proximity. If it tripped today because it was automatic, why didn't it trip the other 10 days they used the same feeds?

They have been using the same feeds for two weeks. Automatic doesn't sound as likely.
