Spears (pointy sticks) are the oldest weapon. They might have been created by non-humans. They helped us come down from the trees and vanquish large prey with teamwork.

Optical illusions are specifically designed to fool the eye. The foolery is useful to keep us from having to cognitively recalculate what we’re visually used to seeing. Optical illusions aren’t a human flaw; they’re an overall benefit.

Incinerator toilets like the Incinolet don’t need septic or water. They can also be used to burn small trash. But there are downsides:

• Incinolet toilet: $3000
• Per flush: 2000 watts (120v), 3500 watts (240v)
• Incinerates at 1400°F
• Cheapest liners: 7¢ each flush. 18" sheets of wax paper would be cheaper. 7¢ liners might be too small for explosive diarrhea splatter.
• Incineration cycles can be interrupted and restarted.
• Need a 5" vent hole pipe.

The Chromium browser code is open source.

Mods who have a history of frequent ban overturns…

Reddit mods don’t even have to answer your request for an appeal. So their bans are never overturned.

MS Edge allows extensions that Chrome does not. It still fully supports uBlock Origin.

Asians were wearing masks in public for the common cold long before today’s other outbreaks.

One thing that getting old has taught me is that young people tend to think that life before them was prehistoric. Technology tends to advance gradually. The only consumer invention that ever shocked me was the introduction of the microwave oven in the early 1970’s. Didn’t see that one coming.

I switched from Chrome to MS Edge and don’t have that YouTube ad-blocking issue with uBlock anymore. Other than that, MS Edge works exactly like Chrome.

Both Hillary and Kamala were unenthusiastic campaigners, depending on democrats to anoint to victory. AOC isn’t very popular outside of the northeast, and she doesn’t appear fiery enough to excite those who don’t know her.

Democratic voters don’t want to waste their votes on another unelectable female presidential candidate.

Nah. Things will return to normal after we elect a stable president and congress.

Mods get to control the political narrative of their subreddits by banning those with opposing views. That makes them more powerful than admins. As an example, Reddit has been so flooded with pro-trans mods that it’s almost impossible to make an anti-trans agenda post in most subreddits without being banned.

The user numbers were bogus anyway since Reddit didn’t automatically decrement the user number after banning a member. The banned member had to manually unjoin the subreddit. So the membership count was inflated with banned members.

Mods get to control the political climate of their subreddit. Those with a political agenda would pay for that privilege.

Bro just DCA bitcoin. Done.

It’s extremely difficult to double your investment with BTC if you start at this point. There are far better stock market investments out there now.

Allowing opt-in moderation attracts mods with an agenda. That’s a big problem with Reddit.

Allowing volunteer mods was dangerous enough. Allowing those mods to have unlimited subreddits was a magnet for agenda-driven operatives. The changes don’t really do enough to get rid of mods with an agenda.

BTW, once a Reddit mod permabans you, there’s no way to appeal their ban. The mods can simply ignore your request for a review. Also, after you are banned, Reddit doesn’t automatically decrement the membership count. You must unjoin on your own. So its membership numbers are inflated for each subreddit.

How would they handle sending them a faked driver’s license? I doubt they have access to the national database needed to verify anything on the pic of the license.
