Good lord. And those are just sound bites. Their whole belief system is wacko.

Interesting. I've never even been to Liverpool.

Maybe Apple and Android both suck. The problem is it doesn't end. There's always one more new thing you have to do to try to protect your privacy (and many people don't find this stuff easy to do in the first place). I was just thinking should I care that the police can watch you and everyone else in your home through the wall from 100 yards away with a piece of equipment that shows holographic images in real time by connecting to your router that is basically video taping you as you move through your WIFI signal waves? There's apparently a way you can stop this too. Who has time for all this? And like I said these situations never stop. I decided yes. It's worth caring about it only because it's creepy. But I'm not going to be able to stop a router from doing this even assuming it can be done. I decided I won't have WIFI. I want to replace my Moto Edge 2024. The screen is small. The battery is dying. I need something close to 7". I want OLED not AMOLED. I'm open to Apple (although much less after reading this), I'm interested in Magic OS. I don't what to buy. I'm not living without a "smart" phone. I'll probably just buy what I want in early '07, not worry about the $ (I haven't owned a flagship phone and that will change), and not worry all that much about privacy, because at the end of the day, there is none.

I remember my sister and her friend getting up really early to watch Diana’s wedding.

The quintessential American sport.

When the last one passes I will watch my very first episode of Star Trek in homage. Or maybe not.

According to wiki, Nevada and Connecticut still maintain the service. As does the UK.

@Mik said: @Mark said: I see a growing threat and actual actions taken by a group of religious wack jobs tearing down the separation of "church" and state and flat out ignoring the constitution to be more of a threat to modern civilization then any of the made up "threats" created by the far right. I wholly agree. +100

Magnificent.

The BBC article linked to this World in Data article. Bunch of interesting charts re energy generation sources. https://ourworldindata.org/electricity-mix

Off topic but this is an interesting video with a history of "England" and why English pronunciation and spelling are difficult. Link to video

The media gaslighted by the right? No! I can't believe it.

Oh, I'm just being obnoxious. Forgive me. They say you don't talk about politics and religion in polite company. Really? Lol.

Toured the Obama center museum last week. First impression going through? Realizing how much we've lost in such a short time. Second impression? Politics CAN be more than Fear, Lies, Grift and Cruelty.

@Daniel said: That's fine. But what about the other things generated? I believe these things might include toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution. The thing I linked to would simply replace the heating coil in otherwise typical water heating tanks. No reason to expect "toxic waste water, toxic air, and noise pollution." The concept is quite simple: bitcoin mining generates heat (do it in server farms and you have to find ways to dissipate all that heat), you also need heat to heat your water. So just do the bitcoin mining in your hot water tank so the heat generated from bitcoin mining is used to heat your water (as oppose to dissipated into the environment as done by most server farms today).

Great story!

@bernard foot tapping techno jazz, love it, super lead singer though I'm going to have to find the lyrics @steve-miller I think Jackson is even more of a poet than a musician tbh

I just made 3 boiled eggs by following Google AI to the letter. Yeah.
