One point. Never recorded a CD from the radio.

The encyclopedia belonged to my grandparents, but I lived there and used it.

You think they are going after Maga? Most of them aren’t even going after pedofiles!

“less oversight than police.” A bar so low you need a shovel to get under it.

Not all. Pre industrial humans where I live ate a lot of slow roasted cactus. After 2 days buried with hot stones the cactus hearts were caramelized. I’ve tasted it prepared in the traditional manner and it’s just syrup in a leaf. Delicious, and I have no doubt it was great energy for people that had to walk miles every day.

Anyone that lived past 30 had their teeth rot right out of their head, according to the archiological record.

This would work in the US on the coasts and in the cities.

Even the eastern parts of the west coast states the math gets bad. Running cables over/mountains to service the poorest 10% of the states population.

Getting into the square states you have 10s of thousands of miles of mountains and deserts to get to a vanishing small number of people. There are twice as many people in my city as there are in the entire state of Wyoming and we are the third largest city in Texas.

Are you really going to run cables all over an area of the alps but the size of France to bring service to a number of people equivalent to one midsize city? Most of it is protected national Park people don’t even live in.

Most of Nevada is uninhabited desert with some of the hottest temperatures on earth.

We can leave half of Texas empty and still have service for 95% of the population.

It’s not as simple as “just do it” over here. We have huge problems, but the challenges are legit.

Yes. I do prefer to watch films not in English in their original language.

The only exception would be very fast dialogue or multiple people speaking at once. But I can read at the speed of most movie speech.

I signed up with Blahaj. Zone when I came with the reddit exodus, but some time later I couldn’t log in, couldn’t reset my password, and couldn’t make another because I already had an account.

.world let me sign up. And hasn’t broken like blahaj. My heart is there, but I’m not willing to spend hours figuring how to make it work.

Hijacking a plane wouldn’t be enough. Plane highjackings were nothing new. They were even common back in the 60’s. Conventional wisdom was you cooperate with the highjackers. They have to land eventually.

Nobody anticipated suicide highjackers.

2001 you could use a pay phone to stay anonymous.

If you do I’m sorry.

Sandy Hook survivors are in high school now and some are getting into activism.

You give us too much credit.

Anhedonia is horrifying if you think about it.

I have been trying to cut down my social media use. Leaving reddit was a big part of that. What actually happened was I spend time here and on YouTube, and occasionally I load up old reddit!

I’m trying guys, but it’s hard.
