  1. Pay money, to watch a map on the screen. Oh well, other than the drunks, kids kicking the back of your seat, other than sleeping, not much else to do while you are prisoner on a sealed metal tube.

  2. Had a bunch of machines folding and unfolding the phones. Said they would last for over 200,000 folds. Wonder if these are the ones they gave to reviewers LOL.

  3. It's like socialism...more is better! We already have the TSA, Homeland Security, FBI, CIA, NSA and on and on and on! No more governmental BS that will do nothing but trash what rights we have left, become over budget and on and on!

  4. Started and tweaked in China...rolling out in the rest of the world for the "New world order".

    Considering how many people live and die by Fakebook, instagram and what not, I'm surprised the crisis hotlines haven't been flooded with calls!

    starting in the 60's era of free love. No morals No manners No respect Everything is me me me me When you have NO foundation, sure, socialism sounds GREAT! Everything is FREE! Yeah, until you run out of EVERYONE else's money! Add in the 60's "free love" lDIOTS aren't teenagers, but pretty much in charge of everything, they've indoctrinated through the government (un)education system have given us a few generations of kids, now young adults that think capitalism (on which this great nation was built) is evil, and socialism is "cool". Kids run around with that murderer Che on t-shirts and what not, Seattle has a STATUE of Lenin for God's sake! Gonna be a civil war in this nation, the likes of which will make the 1861-1865 one look like a walk in the park.

    Well of course no one can really complain about it. When you have billions of "willing" workers (willing at the end of a communist dictatorship GUN), who wouldn't want to do anything BUT work.

  10. Put some monkey brain cells in humans....considering the stupidity of a lot we see day to day... might not hurt to try ;)

  11. TSA on Why Airlines Make Flights Longer On Purpose (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Can't leave them out of the loop...the FLIGHT itself may take 60 minutes, but you have to get to the airport at least an hour before your flight, to go through all the illegal body searches done by the TSA.

    "free" money is fine...until you keep TAKING money away from the people who EARN it, the corporations that EARN it. In the latter, they can LEAVE the country, but most people cannot.

    For ANY dealing online, they get my hotmail account, not my real email account info. Let all the spam, junk, maleware go there.

  15. Put this kids in the middle of the forest on 'Fortnite' May be a Virtual Game, But It's Having Real-life, Dangerous Effects (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I said forest, and not woods because some wouldn't get it. If you took 3/4 of the kids, between the age of 12-20, stuck them in the middle of the woods with a compass and map, they would die of starvation (not to mention smartphone withdrawal) in about an hour! I'm THANKFUL that I grew up in a world before computers, before the internet, before smartphones. Heck, even kids in smaller cities & towns would probably suffer the same fate! Kids have no real coping skills if something doesn't go their way, in part because their parents let the smartphone be the "babysitter". I've seen it several times in waiting rooms at various places, restaurants etc. Kid starts acting up, hand them the phone. It's a shame kids don't know how to EXPLORE without their $#*(% phone.

  17. before and after vaccination on 'It Took 10 Seconds For Instagram To Push Me Into an Anti-Vaxx Rabbit Hole' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Before having the ability to vaccinate, we had countless outbreaks of (insert your own disease). WITH the vaccinations, we HAD a marked decline in said diseases....that was until a couple of things happened. We've allowed so many ILLEGAL aliens into the USA, who have been spreading disease, because of the anti-vax types. In the 1800's is was COMMON (and should be) that anyone trying to enter the USA, was TURNED BACK if they had a disease.

  18. With that SAME logic, banning (insert "harmful" practice or item) would reduce injury or death. Murder is illegal, illegal aliens are illegal, felony possession of firearms are illegal, driving while intoxicated is illegal, possession of illegal drugs/manufacturing is illegal. Another "study" just to push a narrative. Texting while driving...which falls under the guise of "careless & imprudent driving" (C&I). But, this is just another way politicians can say we did something, to garner more votes.

  19. Home users versus mobile users on AT&T, Comcast Announce Verification Milestone To Help Fight Robocalls (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe 30 years ago, it would be prudent to roll it out to home first, but today? I know people my parents age, might still have a home phone (85 years old) although they don't, but it should go to mobile first. Why not? Because the mobile carriers make a ton of money off of calls, regardless where they come from.

  20. well, what do you expect? on Historic, Widespread Flooding Will Continue Through May, NOAA Says (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I lived near the Missouri river in mid Missouri, from birth to 20. When you travel around the capital area of Jefferson City, you see "the river bluffs". The Missouri river, as most rivers, have been SQUEEZED and SQUEEZED over the centuries, to claim the rich soil used to grow crops. When you have a major event, the river wants to go where it was, not where man "thinks" it should be.

    Coal, water, solar, wind, nuclear? Displacing one, usually means generating up for the other.

  22. When I get rid of a phone (I typically keep them because AI don't buy contract phones), SIM card pulled, factory reset 3 times. On laptops, I set up the laptop, Network or wifi connections. Then the drive gets mirrored with an SSD, the HDD is shelved with the expiration date of the warranty. If I sell the laptop, the original drive gets put back.

  23. Read the Seattle Times article on Pilot Who Hitched a Ride Saved Lion Air 737 Day Before Deadly Crash (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    https://www.seattletimes.com/b... They have sensors on BOTH sides of the cockpit, but only sample data from ONE? Plus, some other site I read (no, I don't know if it is credible), say multiple pilots report the sensors on the GROUND didn't show a zero angle. Unless Boeing figures a way out, this will get EXPENSIVE, but, not as expensive if it had been an American based airline. I'm guessing lawsuits can be harder overseas, especially in some of the under developed countries.
