Q: Why is Russia like a 90-year-old vagina?

A: Everybody knows where it is, but nobody wants to go there.

Whenever somebody pushes you hard to buy something, you can rest assured it's to their advantage for you to buy it. Whatever benefit there may be to you is not their primary concern. So whether it's some "internet of things" device/software, a leased car, an extended warranty or something else, you can be certain that the moment it stops being to their advantage for you to have it, you're going to be in trouble.

As long as there are house spiders, women will need us.

Would I be correct to assume the Florida experiment was carried out at Mar-a-lago, a location which has already proved congenial to blood-sucking parasites?

The house in question was built well for the time, and cozy enough. I expect the owners have upgraded the insulation. There is a huge farm field behind five or six houses in a row on a two-lane paved country road. It could get pretty windy.

This was definitely a ground source heat pump.

A former neighbour had a heat pump installed back in the mid-70s. Our houses were identical...well, one was the mirror image of the other. Their heating bill was always about 10% less than ours. I drive by that house a few times a year, and there's been no remodeling or anything. One of these days, I'm going to stop and ask the owner if the thing is still installed and working. If so, that would be pretty close to half a century of slightly cheaper energy...which adds up.

There is no question this software will be used to decode conversations at the next Trump rally. Guard your privacy, my friends! Never speak to nerdy looking strangers with cell phones!

You don't believe proprietary software owners tilt the playing field? You somehow didn't notice the part of the proposed law allowing defendants to protect their constitutional rights by examining software used to gather (or create) alleged evidence against them?

Please save your libertarian crap for somewhere else.

Do you really believe that nonsense you spew qualifies as an argument?

Jeez, buddy, you even fail as a troll. Try to up your game a little.

Question: Is it true Oregon is where Tennessee sends residents too stupid and inbred even for hillbillies to tolerate?

As mentioned above, I can see you aren't particularly bright. Nor are you even passably well-informed.

Thanks, by the way, for an excellent demonstration of the proud ignorance coupled with drooling, slope-headed stupidity typical of the large minority typically labeled "Ugly American". Do you really need to be whipped back to your kennel again?

I suspect a three-figure IQ is not among your gifts.

You appear to be supporting his statement with your comment. Are you really that stupid, or are you trolling?

No, the problem is that Americans really are big-mouths. Ever hear the term "Ugly American"? It isn't about their looks. It's about their behaviour when visiting other countries. Symptoms include proud ignorance, loudly expressed, blatantly uninformed opinions and boorish behaviour.

As for your claim that "people around the world like to peruse US social media platforms", I'll just say this: It's hard to look away from a train wreck.
