- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 2 hours ago:
Not sure how this would work as most corporations aren’t isolated to a single state and they’re the ones sending your tax dollars to the feds via payroll deductions. I see this as being similar to banks who won’t allow dispensaries to have bank accounts since they’re still illegal federally even if it’s perfectly legal within the state.
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 1 day ago:
I don’t have an answer to any of your questions and I don’t think many others will either. It seems like one of those things that you look back at with the clarity of hindsight in order to map things out.

What’s sad is that $5 parking is a killer deal.

There’s also just the denial phase.
As evidenced in The Big Short when it was very clear to banks and regulators that the whole mortgage shell game was falling apart and they all refused to act on it.
- Comment on BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired 2 days ago:
That sounds pretty rad. I’m almost 40 and haven’t ever seen this either. Perhaps it was just the coke addicted business tycoons of the 1980s and '90s that got to experience this tech.

Yes like a shitty car infotainment touchscreen from 2008.
- Comment on I find it funny that American republicans seem to want a king, when the definition of republicanism is a government without a king. 2 days ago:
People are individuals and you individually decided to declare yourself a member of a party that chose Trump and his MAGA rhetoric as their leader. Specifically which of your elected party representatives are you referring to when you say that they don’t all support Trump? The proof is in the pudding and the pudding is rancid.
- Comment on BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired 2 days ago:
The only one I ever had experience with was the Blackberry Touch that my wife had. It was a total piece of junk and I think she went through 2 or 3 during the warranty period. This was after their heyday, though, when they were trying to jump on the smartphone bandwagon.

What’s special about Blackberry keyboards that every early slider phone didn’t have?
I would love to have something like my HTC G1 again with modern hardware and screen.

Haptic feedback maxed out plus the tap sounds with the volume turned up to 100% is the way to go.

to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?
Gotta catch 'em all. Pokémon!
The plot is right in the catch phrase.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 3 days ago:
I mean it’s very obviously speculation because nobody has a crystal ball to see the outcome of decisions that never happened. It’s just an interesting thought experiment and something to ponder.

Yeah he’s like the very obvious and prominant pus-filled boil on a body riddled with disease. He isn’t the cause of the disease, just one of the symptoms.

If it’s any consolation, I also get this from Firefox when I leave tabs open for a long time.
- Comment on Autodesk Fusion 360 is moving it's cloud storage to Fusion Hub. Upgrading is Mandatory 5 days ago:
Once you start the process of upgrading the “Single Storage” will be remove immediately or available for 30 days for collaborative files. So if you are collaborating with others, ensure to tell them or they will loose access to the project.
From the sounds of it, better collaboration and sharing of projects.
Lol this is probably exactly accurate.

It seems like OP added that 's for some reason. That’s not included in the article title.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 1 week ago:
Same I hardly ever find useful answers on reddit anymore. Most useful links have been from the native forums of the very product I’m trying to find answers for.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 1 week ago:
I wonder what the legality is of that when people are posting content from these porn sites and reddit is charging users to access it. How is this any different than paid piracy streaming sites?

Not to mention that paywalled content being moderated by unpaid volunteers.
- Comment on What happened to Pez? 1 week ago:
FunkoPops have zero practicality outside of collecting dust on your shelf and are just modern day beanie babies. Pez at least provides nutrition and a way to store loose candy in your pocket for today’s person on the go.

3 days of surviving against Elden Ring enemies or what? Sounds like a weird departure from SoulsBorne games.
- Comment on Do they make a TV device or dongle to connect quickly via a number of types of inputs? 1 week ago:
I use my audio receiver (Denon) and CEC to do this. It automatically switches to whatever input is active.
