Can we start using the correct language as a start? Video games, movies, etc. are not showing violence. They are showing depictions of violence. Big difference. Secondly, has anyone called bullshit on the “epidemic” of school shootings which every news outlet inflates to make it sound like a bigger, more common…

This fix no longer works. Or, please tell me I’m doing something wrong.

Am I the only one that gets annoyed at the country medal count? I thought the idea of the Olympics was for the best athletes in the world to compete and the whole nationalism thing was never one of the original intentions. I get that it did become a thing, largely during war time and the cold war but I could care less…

Ok, step one to criticizing evolution (or any scientific principal or theory), is that you actually need to understand it. As soon as you say man didn’t come from apes, you should be thrown off a cliff.

Glad you’re catching on to features that have been available for a long time. Real computer users have known this for a while.

More than gender it depends on the voice used. If my digital assistants sounded like Piers Morgan, I’d throw my phone to the ground. OTOH, I had a GPS with John Cleese’s voice that I liked. I also likes Ms. Dewey a lot but as much for personality and attitude as anything.

The volatility of prices is such a hassle. I’m currently looking at flights that normally run close to $100 each way and they’re priced from $200-450. So I have to play the waiting game and check every day until they hit what I hope will be their low point. I’d probably pay a little more just to get it done but when…

So, you feel it appropriate to comment on someone being silly and, in the same breath, wonder why they are commenting on someone they find silly? Hypocritical, much?

Sorry, but I’m not going to pay for a service to block calls I shouldn’t get in the first place.

Yes. I get a few of these each week. I don’t answer any number I don’t recognize and, fortunately, nobody I know has the same area code and prefix as me so those are all ignored. I never report any calls so, whatever their numbers are, I’m sure they’re at least an order of magnitude worse than what they report.

If they are ever forced to put a back door in, maybe this is how they should implement it. Ok, we’ll build the back door but when you access it, the owner will get a notification that it’s happening, who is accessing, and what was accessed.

Not when the thief is the government and they want everything you own. Don’t believe me? Look at the tax bill that was just passed.

If you border on Canada, Nexus is a better deal. It gives you expedited access to border crossing, Global Entry, and TSA-Pre, all in one. It’s cheaper too, at $50 for 5 years.

Also, the “let them decide” thinking is a bit of a cop out. They’re going to learn from your teaching and your example so don’t pretend that you won’t influence their path toward or away from religion. What they’ll truly decide on their own will come much, much later.

Yeah, but I think where we agree is Thanksgiving is not the time to be bullshitting around with the recipes.

Holy shit, I can’t fathom the level of stupid. Getting lucky once or twice does not make something a valid scientific method. You even said it yourself - you’ve seen it work and you’ve seen it not work. In other words, it’s a total crap shoot because....it doesn’t work. If you call yourself an engineer and don’t…
