SavedYouAClick: because he is a billionaire.

I am amazed at just the plain stupidity of some of the writers of well nown papers.

All the stuff I know always translated the AH one as "My Struggle". Never heard of "My Fight".

Still, that is just a dumb name for a book.

I hope you live in a free state like California with your "talking houseplants".

>>>I found this out the hard way.

Lesson learned. Stallman up and stop relying on proprietary systems that spy on you and cooperate with murderous regimes.

My philosophy on this:

If you want to live in a tolerant society you can't tolerate intolerance.

All these debates are getting tiring BTW.

America and Europe have a Nazi problem.

I would suggest using the "-" ("reject")

Life is too short to waste it on spam.

If you can't set up proper SPF/DMARC/DKIM then I don't email me at all.

It's recursive Soviet iterations of a one copy of a shitty European car all the way down bro.

"The IZh 2125 "Kombi" (Russian: ИЖ-2125 Комби, short for "combination") is a compact car produced by the Soviet car manufacturer IZh from 1973 to 1997.[1] It was based on an Izhevsk-modified Moskvitch 412..."

WRT "easy to repair":

It seems Toyota has been adding proprietary electronic crap to their entry level cars just like every other manufacturer. Even their entry level models.

IMHO the days of easy repairs are going away :(

I also had the stuck accelerator thing recently. So no more Toyotas for me.

>>>Seiza is the Japanese term for one of the traditional formal ways of sitting in Japan

I am surprised there's no workplace shootings in Amazon warehouses a la USPS.

"name will stop sounding weird."

I think it will just confuse a lot of people.

I know people love hip generic names, but this is a bridge too far IMHO.

"The Cold War was over and according to a 2016 survey of American fears by Chapman University, more people feared The Affordable Care Act than the threat of nuclear war."

Every single day my belief that people are amazingly stupid is reinforced.

Somewhat related:

The Russians are looking for their nuclear-propelled cruise missile that they reportedly recently lost.

IIRC that is the same one Putin mentioned in his "state of the union" speech, shortly before his "re-election".

Jeff Sessions and or Ryan Zinke are not Burning Man type guys.

You know, if only Emacs had a decent text editor then it would be universally accepted. It's a great OS otherwise.

"The Most Devastating Cyberattack in History"

Hmmm. Poor wording.

"The most financially devastating computer virus in history" sounds better.

>>In the United States, redlining is the systematic denial of various services to residents of specific, often racially associated, neighborhoods or communities, either directly or through the selective raising of prices.

"Despite being targeted by a string of communist terrorist attacks in the 1970s and 80s..."

Using loaded terms in your writing is a good way to lose readers.

Not for Windows.

"Modal editor · Faster as in less keystrokes · Multiple selections · Orthogonal design"

I love it when software developers assume everybody else knows what their software runs on. SMH.

There's still "number stations" broadcasting over shortwave radio.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?!

ADW Launcher is another, minimalist good alternative.

- a gaggle of models I follow are looking fine

A flock of models, some are into fitness, some are perhaps best described as documentarians of their derriere, are also looking fine in my feed.

Escapism. People used to read pulpy books, now they are just looking at happy (rich) people and juicy booty.

This is quiet entertaining:

He is a Trump supporter BTW.

Name makes it sound like it's related to DDG.

Definetely need a better one.

You forgot pornography.

Utahns love porn.

Also all the crap LGBT Mormon kids go through.

Pardon me, if I misunderstood you.

Jones is already mainstream. He is not going to get smaller if you give him bigger platforms.

Unrelated question.

Can somebody explain to me, how he went from "9/11 was inside job, police are jackbooted thugs, anti Bush, anti Obama" to being pro police, pro government?

I want to understand the logic behind this.

I read something (a legit study IIRC) that breathalyzers are not that accurate and if you don't hold them right can increase the BAC.

And NO you CAN be convicted for failing the test. The evidence is just a paper reciept from the breathalyzer.

The reason you choose the blood test is so you have evidence for later.

Also you will sober up a little while you wait.

Another way drones are weaponized is for information warfare, e.g. ISIS propaganda showing their SVBIED attacks.

LMFTFY:

The only meyric measurements in the US are in science.

And there's like 4 different units for pressure IIRC.

What other things to define a meter?

(1cm = 2.54in IIRC)

I still don't understand how could anyone find this defacing useful.

Just give me the satellite or the Street View photos.

TBH Bing's "Bird's Eye" view was far more useful that the shitty resolution (mandated by law BTW) satellite photos.

Of course, Microsoft killed it :(

So sad these people are down voting you.

IMNSHO if most 5 year old can do it, it's not art.

If you insist it is art, fine, it is very shitty art. Very good confidence trick though!
