Most people who joined facebook in their teens are no longer be teens.
How can it still be called a "teen phenomenon"?

They still exist in their pre adult world.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

A lot of that pollution is caused by the way you exploit foreign countries for their slave labor.
Has anyone reinstated the environmental protection laws that G. W. Bush removed?

Not to worry, though.
Soon, USA allies will be able to strike eco terrorist harboring countries with your drones - got to love it.

Happened to my mother. She forgot her wallet in a taxi and lost a few thousand Euro in the process.
She tried to contact the cab company to trace down the driver instead of immediately registering the card as lost/stolen ... stupid move.

She did not have the pin written down but the pin was still cracked within a few hours. The thieve went to different banks and withdrew as much money as the limit allowed (each bank has their own limit).

The police and bank told her that she is at fault because these cards are not crackable. Apparently this has been challenged in court but the court confirmed the "uncrackable" claim of banks.

I am currently investigating alternative operating systems because I don't want systemd on my boxes. Not looking forward to any dependency issues if I decided to "unfuck" a modern Linux distro.

*BSD is looking more and more attractive.
It won't be PC-BSD on my servers but running it as my main OS should teach me a lot in no time.

Guess "the old guys" where right after all. Linux has been and always will be a bit of a toy.

Why not blame ISPs and other network operators?
They are enabling all the criminal activity on the Internet, with or without some sort of VPN to hide behind.

Next thing you know, people are prosecuted for what they say because it caused someone else to go nuts .... ohh wait a minute ....

It may work for some/most fish but not all.
Buy a piece of actual wild salmon and a piece of farmed. Just looking at it you will see WAY more fat in the farmed variety. Salmon is already very fatty and the farmed variety is .... almost nasty (does depend on time of year).

Now making something where the quality matters. Sushi with farmed salmon is .... interesting.

The problem is not cause by some label or eating wild animals. Endless greed of corporations and the new status symbol of "daily evening dinner with meat" may be the root.

... it's pointless trying to force the egg company to campaign against itself via mandatory labelling.

Where do you shop? I have the choice between BIO, free range, caged and eggs from torturted hens.

I am glad to see that manufactures have started to put labels on their products telling me where their eggs come from. I am avoiding products that will not tell me and spend a bit more for products that do.

GMO is similar. While the practice may not be bad, the business model of those companies is. I want the products label as not to support endless greed disguised as the act of attempting to feed the world.

Again what is the big deal with the wheel click?

In X, highlight to copy text and click the wheel to paste .... done.
You need to practice this for 3 minutes to ensure that you don't scroll the wheel while clicking.

To the OP.
A wheel with click offers more functionality then a mouse without a wheel. Not sure what you work on all day but I scroll most of the time and only wheel click .... maybe 30 times a day.
Using a Logitech B110 here, cheap as fuck but works well.
