So you’re saying that people should be bullied into accepting leaders they don’t want and pretend that’s democracy?

I think the biggest issue is starting your workout with cold muscles. If you’re just doing yoga then it’s no big deal. If you’re running, or hiking, then you don’t really want to do that with cold muscles or injury is more likely.

Now that you mention it, neither have I. Peculiar.

Biggly. The biggliest in the history of the universe. Everyone’s saying, not me, but some people are saying bigglier than Hitler!

No thanks! I pronounce it exactly as it is spelled

Wow, that’s awful. What a piece of shit.

When has he ever avoided by any laws?

Trump’s SCOTUS: trump isn’t a person, he’s an idea, a movement, therefore term limits are not applicable to him.

Look into Costco hearing aid center. They offer high-end, name brand hearing aids at cost.

Doesn’t Apple natively support this now? I read a few headlines a month ago that they’re supporting software to turn these things into hearing aids.

My last pair was $6500! My current pair was $1500, because I found out that Costco sells them at cost.

They’re not just headphones. They’re several microphones, speakers, Bluetooth devices, and advanced processing computers to make them sound natural, operate in the correct bands and sound amplification levels, and be small & resilient enough to fit into or onto your ears. There’s also the costs of testing, fitting, programming, and all of the other support services that come with them. They do have crazy mark-up everywhere except Costco, but they’re not really comparable to a set of ear buds.

Mutual combat wasn’t uncommon when I was a kid. When two men were sick of each other’s shit, they would fist fight. They wouldn’t fight dirty. When the fight was over they’d often shake hands, and be done with that conflict. The wounds would heal within a couple of weeks. Emotional wounds from harassment and betrayal sometimes never heal.

I used to have a VPN subscription, but most of the places I really wanted to block just blocked me instead. Lots of important services didn’t work, and it was a constant pain. So I just let the subscription expire when it ran out.

I actually didn’t buy something I wanted yesterday and found an alternative instead because of the out of control price gouging the last few years. I bought a compost bin there 4 years ago for $24. I needed a new one and went to my purchase history to buy the same one. They want $50 now. Seriously, man? 100% price increase in 4 years? Nah man. I found something else. The worst part is that it wasn’t even a good can. The lid broke after a year. $50 for a tiny one gallon trash can that’ll last a year is completely ridiculous.

I’d bet good money that a skilled malicious actor could find out exactly who you or I am within a single day. Most people don’t even use anonymous email addresses, and any admin log showing their email address, combined with an IP address, would make tracking then down trivial.

It depends entirely on the tech stack it’s hosted on. If it’s hosted on an elastic server then it can support more people than there are in the world.

This song has never failed to get me pumped up. Sometimes when I’m driving around in the constant gloom of the PNW, and I catch myself being morose, I’ll put this song on and yell at the top of my lungs, and then I feel a little better.

Sounds about right. Now she can torture citizens for using StreamEast to watch baseball.

People will pay whatever a company asks as long as people have money or credit. By “people” I mean the consumerist masses, not you and me.
