Popcorn makes me fart.

I eat it anyway.

Toot toot toot.

I can't seem to find any more information about what alleged crimes were in the illegally-leaked Dominion documents. Was there anything interesting at all? Or was this just noise?

Theres definitely a setting for turning off content recognition... but... even if I say "no", I don't trust my dogs not to eat food I leave within reach.

These companies want the data, they profit from the data, they probably won't get caught if they take the data, and even if they do they won't get punished, and even if they do it'll still be worth it. You have to turn off the network or block the traffic to be sure.

I bought a 65" HiSense last month. I was psyched the first time I set it up, and it gave me the option to configure it as a dumb TV without the Android TV experience or a network connection.

If you see a lot of ads promoting any political point of view, you can usually assume that someone with entirely too much money is in favor of it, and you probably shouldn't be.

I just want the train from Denver to Boulder that was promised back in the early 2000s. We voted for it, we funded it, and it... never happened. Now the money is gone. Nobody knows why.

So please do it. Start there. Then go up to Fort Collins so my son can get to college, then finish the southern route.

We do like trains. Everyone should like trains.

Oh yay... a low-speed rail from... Pueblo to Fort Collins.

That will literally never happen. As much as I'd love to use it the one time a year I need to make a trip like that, the ROI would be so far in the negative, even I'd vote against it... and I'm a train aficionado and a fan of government-funded rail.

My wife bought a new Pixel 8 recently from Google Fi. They sent a Pixel 6a for some reason. She attempted to work with their incompetent, powerless, disconnected and foreign support for a week to get something to happen, desperately reaching out every day for someone to just tell her what was happening. Then, she just purchased a new one because you can't go longer than that without a phone.

Then it was 2 more weeks of them failing to issue a refund for the original wrong phone, trying to ship another phone that she no longer needed, and simultaneously trying to bill her a penalty for not yet activating the phone that was originally shipped.

All it would take is one person who had information, authority, and a modicum of understanding. Nope. That is not a thing that can be achieved through any level of escalation at Google anymore.

Nokia had the same problem recently during a recent issue. They have intentionally made it impossible to solve issues. This is what some companies want. Don't buy from them.

"if"... "could"

Oh no! That means it's... probably going to happen, right? Everyone get ready for exactly that to go down!

"Prosecutors said Philip Sean Grillo, who is running for the seat previously held by George Santos, had videotaped himself during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Interesting. I'm curious why he brought 20+ year old video equipment with him. It seems like the article would address that oddity. It's getting tough to find new old stock blank video tapes.

"If they removed porn from the internet, there'd only be one site left... and it would be called 'Bring Back the Porn!'" - Doctor Percival Cox

I can't imagine a more unpopular idea in all of politics.
