Sorry, this didn’t give me much hope. I live in the middle of a red area. “Competent leadership” is essentially science fiction. Of course, I don’t see much hope either way.

Damn it. I knew that too. Thanks for pointing it out.

Man, I don’t even own a gun.

I clicked on your link. Same thing. I’m using duck such go. Wonder if that’s why.

Did anyone else get a “page not found” error when trying to see the list of effected headphones?

That’s a nice opinion. Too bad it’s wrong.

Agree to disagree.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 5 weeks ago:
So I’m simpler terms I think what you’re saying is the bottle shrinks (surface area decreases). When it does, the volume decreases too and it’s a 5:1 ratio. Correct?
I did click on the link someone posted here and the article made sense to me. Number one was structural. Which is what I would think. Number two mentioned this winter summer think but not during manufacturing ( which makes sense to me), but during shipping which still doesn’t make sense to me. What milk or even orange juice is NOT refrigerated?
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 5 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, I’m just not buying this explanation. I’d need more evidence.
What surface area? It’s volume we’re talking about. You mean if the plastic gets thicker, thereby reducing the interior surface area there is a corresponding decrease in volume? And it’s 5 to 1 ratio? So if the plastic is thicker by 20% there is no room for milk?
Winter bottles, summer bottles? Like the temperatures aren’t controlled because it costs money? They just compensate with a plug, what every season? Like it costs money to control the temperature of a process but it doesn’t cost money wasting plastic.
Hey, I’m not an expert on this subject and I could be wrong but from my perspective you’re just some guy on the Internet that sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 5 weeks ago:
I agree with you.

That’s kind of funny because you literally described a person that lacks empathy. If they had empathy they wouldn’t have to wait for it to happen to them.
- Comment on I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal 5 weeks ago:
Those who support it, didn’t think that’s the case. They have been brainwashed to think this is all great stuff. I think a lot of them are psychopaths, having no empathy for anyone suffering. They simply don’t believe it until it happens to them and then they are outraged. It’s nuts.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 5 weeks ago:
But the yachts. How would you get yachts with a mere $1M - $5M? And jets?
- Comment on What activity or pastime of yours is barrels of fun? 5 weeks ago:
Ultimate frisbee is more like frisbee football and is played with a Frisbee. I used to do that too. A little too intense for me now. Getting older. Plus when I moved the ultimate frisbee crowd here sucks. Real jerks.
Disk golf is literally like Frisbee golf. It is played with discs. They are a little smaller and quite a bit more not sure how to say it “aggressive”. The “holes” are metal baskets with chains that hang from a halo over the top. The chains sort of grab the disc if you hit them right and the disc falls into the basket. Or in my case the chains act like a wall and spit the disc out. It’s mostly walking from an exercise perspective and yeah quite a bit more laid back. Technically challenging though. Really love it.

Does disc golf count?

What slows down is YouTube. Perhaps that’s why you haven’t noticed it.

Getting ready to ditch this crappy browser. I used to love Firefox but now it’s been enshitified. I’m a tab-o-holic. Have too many tabs open, think I’ll slow down. Leave the browser open too long. I think I’ll slow down. Oops. Looks like your page crashed. Wanna go to this site? Sorry it’s not compatible with your browser.
People seem to hate Brave for the crap they pulled, rightly so I guess, but at least it worked. It seems like there are no good browsers now. I tried Mulvad but due to it’s safety features, it won’t open where I last left off.
Chrome is apparently safe, if you consider Google safe. Microsoft? Puhlease.
- Comment on Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead 1 month ago:
Ha! I watched Leave it to Beaver and the guy who played Beaver and the guy who played his brother Wally are still alive and still best of friends!! Never mind just looked it up and Wally passed away a couple of years ago. Damn.
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 month ago:
I know right. I always alter the speed. I watch nearly everything at 1.25 speed because it shortens my viewing time without missing any content and I almost never even notice the difference. With really slow talkers I can get to to 1.75 speed. I almost never go to 2x. I can’t imagine 4x. There is one guy I have to actually show down to 0.75 speed to digest.

Typical. Take it away, then charge to bring it back.

It’s almost as if they are out of touch with their users. I don’t get it. CEOs are just normal people like us.

Yeah, even if a Democrat gets in, why would they NOT assume all the same power TACO has grabbed. It’ll just be a different kind of dictator.

I don’t have the numbers but I’m guessing it’s been used for harm more than good.

Ok, so just sort of spontaneously then.

I don’t know, but I would be fine if the presidential pardon was abolished. Perhaps replace it with only a stay of execution.
