As kids get older they consistently show that parents, even enthusiastic adoptive parents, are falling behind. Enjoy your kid while they are young and they will enjoy you when they are older. Let the OSs and computers fall behind, trying to keep up with the kid is far more important.

Many work places require employees to bring their own tools (eg auto mechanic). Requiring a phone or tablet is probably legal.

The dark web has many truly anonymous forums, if you can tolerate the subject matter.

Type writers do not create right aligned text. They are monospaced!!!!!

I like how you use the word 'rich' instead of 'cartel' as if there were a useful distinction between them. They differ only on the scale of how openly they embrace violence as a solution.

How is counting dead children misrepresenting what is going on? Dead is dead. When I say I want fewer guns it is because I want fewer deaths, gang members and depressed kids included.

On the first flight of SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket, a university satellite was the payload. Not only did the launch fail in just the first few seconds, but the payload crashed back. Landing in the shipping container it arrived in. First launches of rockets do not have good track records. Risking a silly car was arguably more fun than the equally useless "mass simulators" used on most first launches. If it were my satellite, I would not have wanted it on the first Falcon Heavy launch.

If Trump and his team could dream it up in far less than a month, mere mortals will be able to follow it. It's not really all that complex. Just f*** over the election counting process in a variety of ways.

I keep an Outlook.com account to communicate with Microsoft. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars.

That’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.

The overlap of iso-8601 and rfc-3339 is God's own, the regions outside are lower.

A solution requires more than just providing food and shelter. We have a class of people who are marginally mentally ill or barely literate. They do not function well enough to hold down a job or fill out a welfare form, but they function too well to require that they be locked up. These people need a semi-monitored place with enough oversight to keep them safe. The street can't do that, but they have no other place to go.
