not sure i see kidnapping, robbery, arson, rape, etc could be considered non-violent but I’m no lawyer. A big part of this is the result of the war on drugs. A guy can violently rape a woman and get less jail time than if he had a baggie of grass. How are we tolerating this?

I’ve heard this argument and older folks like me (white guy in his 50's) have asked about the wisdom of turning the police into swat teams. Where is the local cop who used to walk the beat, knew the people in the neighborhood and would help and advise those her/she came in contact with? They were members of the…
yes black on black crime is very high. Yes the vast majority of police are good and try very hard to protect all and are NOT racist. And yes the message of protesting is sometimes being hijacked by the militant, violent and felonious. HOWEVER, your reply was extremely tone-deaf. Please reread your reply in front of a…
As an IT professional I detest the zip tie. Use a roll of velcro you filthy animals! I just LOOooOooOOoove having to cut 40 zip ties because someone wanted to make all the cables under their desk into one braided cable. Great until you have to switch out a monitor or something.
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.
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…
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…
eww. clear enough?
portable version of spacesniffer as well. wiztree not allowing network drive scans is a deal killer for me.
