>It's one thing to defend the US from outside dangers. It's quite another to regard the citizens themselves as the danger.
Some of the citizens are crazy and really are a danger to us. Have you not noticed how the deranged right-wingers, who circled the wagons around a cluster of toxic behaviours and absurd beliefs, have been stockpiling guns and publicly fantasizing about overthrowing our democratically elected government?
The backward "conservatives" can't win elections outside of our derpy states, so they hoard guns and plan a revolution. Of course there's nothing actually conservative about these radical theocrats who want to remake America in their idiotic image. Do you not want the government to keep an eye on this crazed, violent, uneducated subculture?
>yes we still use faxes in our office much more than any other method: THEY ARE SECURE.
Regular faxes are absolutely NOT secure, though a secure "fax" server can be. It's unusual for anyone who needs to be HIPAA compliant to use unencrypted means to send patient data. Leaving patient data in a fax receiving bin would result in fines if you're caught.
But Cody Wilson really is a libertarian nutball. It's an accurate description, not random name-calling. He's disconnected from reality, and thinks that he can bypass laws intended to keep weapons designed to kill a large number of people out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable.
Your post makes it pretty clear that you're one of the deeply-confused gun-nuts who thinks that banning guns designed for mass murder means banning defensive guns.
I have two, and I don't think that most of us have tablets or XBoxes attached to all our TVs. With Chromecast I can start watching a video on my Theater PC, then cast it to a bedroom or living room TV without needing to have PCs or consoles in the other rooms.
It also allows you to comment on sites that use FB comments. Everyone should have a fake FB account to bypass the harm FB has caused on other sites. An empty Yahoo Mail account, and G+ account under a real-looking but false name was useful for the same reason until they dropped the real name requirement. No one asked for ID when I picked the name of someone I haven't talked to in decades.
Not so surprisingly the bible missed absolutely everything that wasn't known to its human authors at the times it was written, so it hasn't held up well except with people who desire a fantasy-based worldview so much that they permanently suspend their disbelief. We all do this with fiction, but the bible-people take it further than the craziest Trekker with a "Starbase" in their mom's garage.
Sure, but if you were a foolish Libertarian like many of the less intelligent people here, you'd think that taxes are theft, and that tax-evasion increasing the burden on your neighbors is completely fine.
>This is full on Breitbart.com level of nutjobbery.
The Republicans put a lot of work into disconnecting conservatives from reality, it would be surprising if it didn't spill over onto sites that aren't devoted to lying to conservatives to keep them confused and hateful.
>They don't want the kids to learn science or even mention things like evolution...
>Is their religion on such shaky grounds that it can't stand up to some critical thinking?
Name one religion than isn't on shaky ground and can stand up to critical thinking. Religion is way past its sell-by date, and is obviously pure fantasy.
>I've seen a lot of people on this site bash smartwatches if they have less than a week of battery life, and that always seemed like overkill to me.
Yes, that would be an insane requirement. People with that kind of attitude are just a waste of time since they're in the market for a product that does not exist.
>I suspect a lot of people (most?) are like me and take off their watches at night anyways
That means you can't have any sleep-monitoring functionality in the watch, and health tracking is the only thing that will get many of us to strap something to our wrists, since watches have been made obsolete by our phones. A 24 hour charge, with a very fast charger or easily replaceable battery is the only way to make this work. Charging one battery while you're using the other, and making a quick swap is probably the best solution with current technology.
>Why would I want my wrist encumbered with anything, let alone a watch? Wherefore art thou oh smart ring?
Why would you want your fingers encumbered with anything, and why wold you want to switch to a device that needs to be charged every 5 minutes when a smart-watch can run for 12 hours.
>But in terms of eating, 100 calories can be pretty small. That's less than a typical can of soda.
Cutting sugar-based drinks out of my diet was the biggest help, followed by cutting way back on my pizza intake. Switching to meat-based snacks with some fat in them made me feel full on many less calories than when I was eating a ton of sugar and carbs. I went from 6'2" 165lbs, to 115lbs with more muscle, and feel at least a decade younger than when I was overweight. I had felt old and used up, but that was just poor nutrition and lack of exercise, not old age.

I think you mean "Democratic."

Oh, I see the problem. You've internalized Republican wingnut derp. Only a wingnut would hold being a community organizer against someone.

People who are in cults try to make everything about their cult. Do you understand that gods are a subset of an imaginary set (the supernatural)?
That order seems...odd. 1 and 2 are equally absurd. Do you understand that the supernatural is imaginary?
Sure, but if you were a foolish Libertarian like many of the less intelligent people here, you'd think that taxes are theft, and that tax-evasion increasing the burden on your neighbors is completely fine.
While Google maps would catch some of the tax-evaders, drones catch the ones who built homes after the latest Google Maps data update for the region.
In your mind enslaving CEOs is the only alternative to paying them more in a year than the rest of us earn in a lifetime?
There isn't a lot of overlap between the market for this device and an iPhone, so there's really not much of a comparison to be made.
This device could be much more useful than regular smart phones to older people with failing vision.

Btw, "anyways" isn't a word.
