- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 days ago:
I have a “smart TV” and I plug it into my receiver and use it as a monitor. I use the term smart TV that way, because it is more than 10 years old when TVs were just starting to have these features. I should also point out that the receiver does all of the spying that the TV isn’t doing. Not sure what I’ll do when the TV dies.

Thank you. Nuance, you know.

This is so flawed it isn’t even funny.
You need way more than 1,000,000 fingers. This is America after all. Even if you use all ten fingers, that’s only like 9.9 million guns.

Any question like this can always be answered by asking yourself, who would profit from this?

Anybody know if this has anything to do with Biden’s Chips and Sciences program?

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
If you say so. I’m more of an 80s person. All I know about George Wallace is that he was shot.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
It is. The world is stranger than I could possibly ever have imagined. Sometimes I play a thought game. What if I had to explain this to, an alien.
“Yes, this is how it works. Are you going to destroy us now? Yeah, we probably deserve this.”
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
Can’t believe you are asking this now. In the 70s, I don’t believe any of these yokels would have been elected. Lauren Beaubert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump, they’ve all done things and said things that are so far over the line, it isn’t even funny. Nixon? Please, he would be small potatoes today.
Why? Gerrymandering. Social Media. Lack of critical thinking skills. A sense of hopelessness. Apathy. Billionaire brainwashing. The list goes on. The strange thing is, conservatives want to go back to the way things were. For them that means when women had to go to back alleys to get abortions, when gays were stoned, when blacks weren’t allowed to vote. For me it means when people didn’t justify these ridiculous notions, but instead just said, “No!”

- Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it? 3 months ago:
Hell yes! I make a lot of things and having this ability really expand on that.
I should point out that anyone interested in anything more than printing trinkets found on the Internet will also have to learn 3d drafting, at least to some extent. Bear that in mind.
- Comment on Can whales eat humans? 3 months ago:
I heard a story a while back about A SCUBA diver that was sort of swallowed by a whale. He was allegedly all the way in, then the whale spat him out and he was only bruised. It appeared to be an accident. But if I remember correctly, the credibility of the story was in question.
Sooooo… not sure why I answered. Well I’m this far now…

- Comment on Bungie CEO faces backlash after announcing 220 employees, or 17% of its workforce, will be laid off | Pete Parsons has spent $2.4 million on classic cars since Sony acquired Destiny developer Bungie 3 months ago:
At the average American salary (approx. $60,000) Bungie could have employed 40 people for one year on what this guy spent on cars.

- Comment on Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? 4 months ago:
Don’t know anything about this from personal experience, but I thought I heard a report a while back about a fairly large number of hikers in the UK injured or killed by cows. So I’m guessing, not as dangerous as crocodiles but still best to be careful.
