Like Uber really needs to be reigned in. The are no controls over these things and there should be. Here in Austin, we tried to get some minor controls over Lyft and Uber. Background checks, basically. They simply packed up and moved out. Good riddance. But then they went and whined to the state legislature, which has a long and storied history of loathing the city it is located in. So Uber, at least, is back.

Trump would far, far rather have people die than admit he doesn't have a clue as to what he is doing. Pretty much a definition of malignant narcissistic personality disorder.

Grew up there. It's kind of a quirky city. I liked it. Sure it has Oral Roberts University but it also has an international seaport (Port of Catoosa; look it up). which took well over a decade to realize.

are simply the easiest way for any government on earth (and probably a not insignificant number of others) to monitor every aspect of money. Why would anyone want that?

Mojo Nixon (of Don Henley Must Die fame) played in Austin a lot. Don Henley visits Austin a lot. So one magical time Don joined Mojo on stage to sing along to Don Henley must die. I gained a lot of respect for him for doing that.

CD sales were at their highest when Napster was active and probably because of Napster. People could easily find new stuff they like and, lo and behold, they'd actually go out and buy it.

I still prefer climate chaos, but that isn't trending. At all. Still, if (when) it happens, the Earth will be fine. Cockroaches will probably be fine. But with humans, it might look like something from World War Z.

You see, you show them some sort of relic and they date it for you. Otherwise, you get hooked up with Zuckerberg for an entire evening.

For the love of gawd, please, please stop doing this crap. Signed: Everyone.

I keep wondering when or if they will grow up, but I guess the urge to troll everyone is far too strong.

Considering just how long the human centipad lasted, this is no surprise. I mean, Cartman never actually got to use his.

I gather that it wasn't until fairly recently that electronic devices in Britain even came with a plug. You had to know what weird-ass plugs were in your residence, buy the proper plug and put it on yourself. Needless to say, this wasn't optimal but I think Britain has more or less fixed this.

Wait for Windows itself to offer the update. Asking Windows to update may automatically make you a 'beta tester' patsy, fine if you enjoy 'thrills'. Soomeone please correct me if I'm wrong.
