Let’s keep this simple:

Wait, doesn’t pretty much every smartphone have a map app? Seems more like a lack of interest than one of education.

Oh, abortion now? Jesus.

He won’t get .05 cents back unless he’s one of the 1%. In that case, he has an argument, eh?

Look elsewhere in this thread.

Private children’s programming. What a laugh. They are pushing sugar (and diabetes -a “preexisting condition”) and toys.

If people want to get their tax money back (fat chance anyway), they could stop subsidizing big oil and corporate agriculture. That is where the beef is. PBS is peanuts by comparison.

It’s not free from interference precisely because the government is not fully funding it. Sorry, but your solution is no solution.

Both Nassau and Suffolk county PDs have their own Highway Patrols for the LIE. The Troopers cruise the state highways and roads. The Sheriffs do both on an ad hoc basis.

Hell, why not have Murdoch and Fox handle educational and cultural programming? I’m sure that they wouldn’t spin it.

PCIe NVMe roolz!

The idea is to provide programming free from interference from commercial interests. Call is socialism, but there is a need for real independent programming, believe it or not.

Yup. Buy a big honking SUV because they’re “safer” and then don’t bother buckling up.

Indeed. There a long history of rear-engined, rear wheel drive off-road racing success. Damn, it’s fun too - much more fun than all wheel drive. Anyone with money and half a brain can keep moving and stay shiny side up with the latter.

I see.

[Feigning anger] Gravy? Gravy? It’s sauce!

Holy shit. At first glance, I figured that that was a pic of a Banksy work. When I realized that it was not art, I threw up in my mouth a little.

If your service makes those folders inaccessible to you directly until you need to restore, that will do it. That is the only thing that will work. One would imagine that such a service would neither be cheap or easy to understand the benefits of to, again, the casual user.

Damned Putin. He’s a grandstander and showboat.
