  • I grew up in a right-wing authoritarian family: physical violence is pretty routine, as is DARVO.

  • “Churches are not to be touched!” he added.

    That would carry so much more weight if churches didn't touch or otherwise affect people who don't follow their particular faith.

  • EV car batteries have been used for the purpose of storing daytime-generated solar energy to power a home during the night.

  • Puberty begins as early as 10 in girls and 11 in boys, so 14 may be a little late, at least for some kids.

  • It is unimaginable Trump is actually running for president, and yet here we are.

  • Sure, people sharing housing, but 36 million people live alone. How many more would live alone if they could?

  • There are 258 million adults and 144 million homes in the US. Even if vacant housing is reduced to 0, there's still not enough housing.

  • More than three months after a U.S. Air Force airman was gunned down by a Florida sheriff’s deputy, his family and their lawyer are demanding that prosecutors decide whether to bring charges against the former lawman.

    If it had been anyone other than law enforcement and if caught the perp would be behind bars.

    i don't know why people are so allergic to firefox...

    To which I offered a possible answer. Does everyone have misconfigured operating systems?

    The Best Web Browsers of 2024 | HighSpeedInternet.com

    Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

    Yep, I'd probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.

  • I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it's slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

  • ...The sanctity of human life, the notion that it cannot be terminated without the highest justification, is what separates us from barbarism. ...

    Truer words have not been written, yet we see in the news everyday that crimes are constantly being committed. When we are judged (fit for death) not based on what we do, but rather with whom we associate, we are all in danger.

  • Wasn't what I had in mind. Why did the Crooks choose the AR15?

  • What other kinds of guns were found? I mean specifics. Handguns? Shotguns? Rifles?

  • ...Believing he was being unjustly detained, he yelled and cursed at officers who put him in a restraint chair at the county jail.

    When I was a kid my parents sent me to an upscale private boarding school. When we were speaking to superiors, we had to yell loud enough to shake walls. When we didn't yell loud enough, we were punished. This yelling mandate/training went on for an entire year called the plebe year. Yet, when we yell in real-life adult situations, we are somehow considered insane and dangerous? Perhaps states should not allow schools to intentionally teach yelling as a compulsory-school training technique?

  • I could have sworn I read that Musk was a free speech absolutist. Freedom for me but not for thee?

  • It is said that the first casualty of war is the truth. I do not think it is reasonable to believe anyone is telling the whole truth. This war seems to be driven by deep hatred on both sides. All those of us who are in our cubicles thousands of miles away (like myself) can do is to get a variety of news items from a variety of sources and attempt to discern the truth, and be willing to accept that we may not find it.

  • I sure hope this doesn't go through. Albertsons is already too big, their regular prices are high, although their sale prices are okay, they make their customers jump through hoops to get those sale prices. I miss Lucky.
