“The U.S. has erupted in protests over the brutal killing of George Floyd by police. The protests have largely been peaceful. The police response has not.”

enabling people who are bent on being violent to avoid the consequences is hardly the big picture now is it David? Protestors? What is being protested? I hear the constant dross and have yet to hear any concise arguments. They want justice for George Floyd. What do they want specifically? The cop is charged and in…

Thank you. In the South here. Deep Deep South and it’s a hard question to answer. The majority of the violent crime here is committed by non-whites. The victims are also mainly non-whites. The problem is when it’s mostly one color appearing on the news and then folks do the math and realize the non-whites they see are…

I actually read on my Kindle more than anything.  Can’t tell you how many pulp books I own and have never cracked but have read the ebook several times.

Thanks for this.  My wife and I read quite a bit and our children 10 and 9 read when asked to.  I’ve been looking for a way to get them to read as most of the books we have are well above their levels.

my whole family (6 members of a family plan) uses google music on our phones and smart speakers (JBL). Now we have to see if it’s Spotify or U-Tube. Trying out the later now to see. May end up with Spotify, but I have tons of stuff on Google Play music. Not music actually. But tons of Audio books. Its a way of carting…

reason #57 to change from coffee to soda. get your sugar and your caffeine at once AND carry your own mug in, drop in the spot and select “with your knuckle” your poison and then watch it drop into your insulated mug. I take mine everywhere and I carry a hand “mister” full of rubbing alcohol. I’ve also mastered the…

I just tell my phone what to do when i want it to do it. “Hey Google! Turn off my ringer.” or “Hey Google! Turn on do not disturb.” I don’t even have a light by my bed anymore as I have a charging stand and I just say “Hey Google! Turn on flashlight.” Then the same to turn it off. I freaked out my sister-in-law when…

Setup a Google voice number then record whatever greeting you want. You can also text to and from it. I’m a married guy so I’ve no need of this but I’m a long-time Google voice user and this is what I’d advise my daughter to use if asked.

My bad. “When you engage with an asshole you will most likely get shit on you”. Thanks for proving that little nugget of wisdom. I hope you do some growing up before you say the wrong thing to the wrong person one day. Namaste asshole.  

Yeah that’s great..... But I’m not so sure people realize that the Oscars are political as anything can be and it’s the industry telling itself what the best films are. The winners are due to more behind-the-scene schmoozing than anything else. And seriously why do we need the people who make the movies to tell us…

Windows 10 is by and far the best advertising for going to Linux I’ve seen so far. I persuaded my 78 year-old parents to go with it a year ago and all I could hear for the first hour was “It’s so fucking fast!” and “Why the hell isn’t everyone doing this!?!”. My mom has been using windows versions of Linux apps for…

Try to be gentle as in your reply TO ME. I didn’t say you owed me anything. You can be as rude as you like but then your message rarely gets any real attention if it’s just insults. I was asking that you not be an asshat and insult me because I don’t happen to share your exact opinion on this exact issue. But I am…

Please be gentle. I read what you wrote and I myself get what I think he is trying to say. I’m not saying I agree. I think he is saying that everyone should be able to have their own beliefs. Like he can have his and you yours. But he also says that he disagrees with some and stated what he believes. I personally can…

same here.  i get ads for asian food because i stopped for pizza next door.  LOL!

I have chosen the path you state here myself. However I take a different approach. Why am I being tracked? It’s so I can see adds about fly fishing and motorcycling. You know, stuff I might actually buy and want. So I can be spared adds about dress slacks and the lastest kitchen miracle device. So I welcome the…

relying on ANY antivirus is a strategy that is fraught with danger. Its best to control what you load, click and open than to expect something else to make the decision for you. if it’s too tight you will find all kinds of walls in front of you and you won’t be able to do much. if too loose then why have it at all.
I’v…

But it may actually be the other way around. One Star Trek fan site claims that the Starfleet logo never even appeared on the original Star Trek or Star Trek: The Next Generation series, and wasn’t created until after the Air Force’s logo, during the fourth season of Deep Space Nine (around 1996), by American graphic…

Just going to post this from a truly Geeky site.
