I didn't know where to step into this, but your comment feels in pretty good sync... Afterthought: Unless you're snarking. Are you snarking? If so, sorry! *grin*

Back circa 2008 I was told I would possibly be moving "real South" of the border so I started following news down there. Part of that follow includes something called Inca Kola News (IKN) in Peru.

He had some interesting observations that included noting the wife seemed almost smiley and that there appeared to be a remarkably short recovery time between the attack and press releases, case solvation, yada-etc..

The Nicolás Maduro "assassination attempt" in Venezuela today looks like a false flag set-up

Devil's Advocate-wise relative to the recovery time... Violence of that type is somewhat the way of that geographical area so it could possibly be easier to step back up into the speed of Life faster in the aftermath of something that violent....

Maybe.

Indubitably :: A successful self-advocate for any topic wants to know both sides of the debate, else how else to counter.. Having no clue as to the rhetoric the other side of the table is pushing to anyone who will listen would be like standing out on the highway with one's [backside] to a Mack truck bearing down full speed ahead..

Brought back an apparently consciously repressed recent memory of an article alleging Georgia's mental health commission committed the very same [faux pas] last year..

Giving them the bennie of a doubt, guess one could a-ssume they were just early adopters carrying the concept of retweet to the next level...

It already is.. It's called "physician assisted suicide", alive and well in Oregon and Washington..

And don't even get me started on the "doctor" I had here in Georgia the early part of this century.......

Ditto here.. Bought a couple rounds of hardware online recently.. Looked at many different, nice keyboards each time but couldn't bring myself to purchase any online solely because I couldn't touch them, "feel" the click, and hear how they sounded.. :)

How much will it cost users for regular access if and once installed..? Have yet to see that minor little detail mentioned whenever the topic arises...

Hm. First gut reaction is that her beef should be with Verizon DSL for not providing multiple alternatives of passage into their system, thus making it *accessible* to her *CHOICE* of hardware/software..

It's not Ubuntu's fault that Verizon, a purported technologically knowledgeable corporation, is being proprietary to a pay-fer OS, thus segregating out that portion of the population who chooses for whatever personal reasons, including financial, to go open source, et al..
