I know it is not popular opinion, but it wouldn't bother me if all add blockers were removed. No web site has an obligation to serve pages outside of their intentions regarding advertising. If a website is too annoying and in your face

Even though there are some politics involved, "destroyed" is far from correct. I would say chasing corporate dollars had more of an affect, but someone has to pay the bills.

No, I disagree. Journalism is driven by market forces, but there is nothing preventing journalists from printing the truth except their desire to not bite the hand that feed them. This is not the fault of the marketers, but the fault of jou

This only has value if the end result is the crime or infraction is acted on. It seems the trend lately is to stonewall, obfuscate, excuse, and/or forgive the elite and other people in positions power.

Yes, their entire real estate market has been in slow motion collapse for the better part of a year. Too many articles on the state of the economy are using the Russia crisis to drive their news cycle, when actually most of the turmoil was

I had never heard of Oliver Stone's "Ukraine On Fire" documentary until YouTube banned it, so I watched it last night to see what the problem was. It seemed to be a well documented summary of the events in Ukraine in the last

It's sad that we can't trust most media to give the real story. It seems that 98% of all media today has an agenda. I suspect that social media echo chambers are a distraction that drives a lot of this regardless of political affi

Yes, and the amount of dust would probably be proportional to the energy they carry to the impact point, and their trajectory relative to the surface.

Cancel culture is definitely a reality, but is mostly concentrated in the various social media forums available. It is human nature to want to be on the team that is correct or winning, not unlike rabid fans of a sports team. Because of tha

The hysteria in attempting to harm Russia in all ways possible is just more of the mob mentality of cancel culture. People need to remember that there are many innocent people involved on all sides of this issue.

The US is hobbling itself with software patents. China pretty much ignores all patents and will win in the global market because of this. US companies need to quit the stupid patent wars, lest the become irrelevant on the world markets.

I had a T30 that ran 24/7 for about 10 years but started having machine checks, but I was too lazy to see if it was fixable, so I just bought the T40 to replace it. The T30 was a solid machine and I never had a problem with it. I can s
