Comment Re:Population loss? (Score 1) 164

That came out wrong.. Blaming the statins! Any 2% improvement per year is a great trend. Hope any globally ascendant city planners find ways to respect the air and water quality for environmental health. US environmental regulations were in response to unsustainable pollution practices. The same environmental concern could be practiced ( and priced in ) regardless of where things are made.

there is a mismatch here. I am talking about the walled garden - admittedly off topic. You are talking ( albeit abusively - cant handle the message, so you attack the messenger? ) about the iCloud aspect of that walled garden, so they are not unrelated. As far as your tag line... breaking laws and answering for them let's conside: If I break laws, I go to jail. The act of defrauding municipalities and banks of revenue is not without hazard. The act of Insurrection is not without hazard. if you mess with electoral process, you also risk hazard. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

They clearly state that they can't include me in group chats because I would bring their experience down - and this is by design.. the broken glass embedded in the top of the wall surreounding the garden. Thinking different (remember that) is now replaced by "eff anyone not in this walled garden". What makes the internet great is inclusivity. I/m being arrogant? How is that? By not just dropping everything and buying an I(anything)? How am I being opinionated exactly? Having a different opinion about what a cell phone is?

When your kids decide for you, you have been bullied. I have felt that many times. I can't chat with them ( hate for the Mr Green Dot), I cant share videos on their platform, and I am the bad guy, right? And to think we bought them the AAPL products when they were young. Probably still paying for some of them!

Comment A real election campaign issue (Score 1) 37

US -media- should be looking into issues like this and not some clowns laptop. This is a real issue affecting so many of us. Scary 60's and 70's revelations brought us awareness (call it woke if you want) that lead to cleaner air and water. The food we eat deserves attention. Why do so many foods contain unhealthy levels of sugar (and substitutes) and unhealthy fats? How do we get the election debates to include necessary things like food quality rather than partisan nonsense that just empowers the obsession with re-election at the expense of governance?

Comment Re:Printer lessons (Score 2) 199

Printers are supposed to be dumb and uninteresting. Seems times have changed. Based on success of lJ4/.LJ5 models, I bought a recent 477 MFP - not impressed. Double sided scanning is an upside, but manual is a duplex mode? Couldn't set the clock on printer? Ironically i did look at brother at staples - noting how it 'felt' like jetdirect simplicity.. but .. opted for HP. Printing and scanning have been good, but ink $$ off the charts and clunky windows-variant device...Yah... Brother FTW - next time.
