  • Given that the Supreme Court ruled that all official (who decides?) acts are legal, I have no faith in them.

  • Couldn't Trump just declare it that it's an official act?

  • I consider reporting systems to be a trap. It's a way to get rid of whistleblowers who are not part of the groupthink. There needs to a harsh spotlight on the failings of such systems. Too bad that those who can and should do so typically don't want to. Lawmakers are beholden to the ka-ching and the public only cares for a short period of time, if at all. The only way these institutions are affected is by cutting their funding.

  • Yeah. I should have provided more context. I have heard that one can visit multiple countries in Europe in one day. It takes two days to cross Texas. The country, especially in the west, has lots of smaller towns and cities that are spread out.

    In Utah, almost of the population is in the Salt Lake City Metropolitan area near the top of the state. The middle of the state is practically barren and the southern area only has St. George (~100K population).

    In Nevada, it's Las Vegas (642K) in the south and Reno (264K) in the west. Almost all of the state is federal land.

    When I was in Tucson, Arizona, (542K) I used the bus system a lot. The wait times were between 10 minutes and an hour.

    The city I went to for my first college had a population of less than 5K at the time (now about 5.5K), the next city is 10K, and the county now has about 39.5K.

    My city has about 20K and we have to travel to see any specialists.

  • I don't have to be a farmer... About 330 miles, actually. I don't have to worry about doing that anymore (he recently died). However, my wife and I went to a major city twice last month, an hour and a half one way, for medical reasons. We go at least once a month.

    I also have to take an obese person to another city 45-60 minutes away multiple times a month. I did so today and will again Friday. He can hardly see me. No way would he be able to ride a bike.

    You don't seem to realize that there are people with health conditions that preclude them from riding a bike. I actually used to walk everywhere when I was in college. It's not really feasible now even if it's not about 120 degrees outside.

  • I'm not going to put my wife's wheelchair on my bike as we travel, especially when it would be 5-6 hours by car to go to her dad's place.

  • I have dozens of tabs open in Edge on my phone and I use Edge there mostly for TV Tropes since the Preview Link lets me look at other tropes without having to open another tab. I'm currently reading Discworld tropes.

  • I got a 28" 4K monitor for $50 and a 55" 4K Roku TV also for $50 (not at the same time). The Roku needs replacement lights on one side and I haven't done that yet.

  • Is there a way to guarantee a mobile device or tablet can only access my own services and block all other traffic?

  • I want something that does all that and blocks trackers as well, which is what I use DDG for.

    Dude, you just talked about Notepad. You are thinking of Microsoft Paint. Your article needs to be proofread.

  • My church has this event called Youth Conference where teenagers go to another city for a few days for a conference. One year, a brother and I went to one. There were booths with a bunch of gospel games, food and drinks, and prizes. We were all given tickets to use. My brother and I looked at each other, combined our tickets, and went to grab a few prizes and some food and drinks. The adults were trying to convince us to go play the gospel games but we ignored them. When the event ended and the true purpose was revealed, everyone in the room turned and looked at us.

    For the rest of the conference, people kept coming up to us and saying how funny they found what my brother and I had done. When they came to my town the next year, they told me about how they still laugh about it up there.
