Don’t forget the copyrights that Ivanka had approved while her father was in the Oval Office.

Yeh, don't see this one talked about enough.

Yep, a good chunk are okay with the result. They just hate being embarrassed getting it.

WSJ had an Opinion piece out today about how "The Left" is still trying to make people panic about climate change. These fucking people.

NASA TV has been a mainstay on my devices since I started cordcutting. I guess this is a rebrand of NASA-TV to NASA+, right? Either way, if you didn't know about it and like space and cool engineering things, you'll like the channel.

Doesn't surprise me. Texans don't give a shit about human rights.

Our first amendment to our constitution gives us protections not to be arrested for unsavory speech. It's a knife that cuts in every direction. Trump couldn't just lock up AOC, willynilly, for her trashing of him on the daily.

Collective bargaining is the best way to ensure workers' rights.

Remember, only scabs cross picket lines.

Late 30s and from the mountainous south. Public school.

At least we had sex ed in 3rd, 5th, 8th and 9th grade. Learned about evolution in kindergarten as well.

We were taught metric in high school science and physics. However, it should start younger.

That's why metric should be added to the curriculum rather than replace imperial. Kids are still forced to learn standard and cursive writing. Learning Metric along with Imperial isn't that damned hard.

"Shouldn't have to"

I mean, you don't have to. There's other services. Mullvad or whatever.

Having a handful of config files and switching to them isn't the hardest thing. It works. Not like they're preventing you from it.

 

So, just finished reading an article on WaPo about fireflies/lightening bugs and got me thinking further... Car headlights suck. They mess up our night vision when we pass another dickhead running white/blue lights. We mess up the habit(at) of many animals/bugs. So why not red lights? My hiking/camping headlamp has a red light option, which is the only function I use, and I can see fine. Why the FUCK do we still have these ungodly bright white/blue lights?
