I would much rather be able to block that crap all together. I don't that someone reacted to a message. Honestly the only group chat that I get this stuff from is one that I block notifications on anyways.

Depends on the volume. I have too many leaves in my backyard to just mulch into the lawn. I still find leaf blowers obnoxious. I simply circle my yard letting the riding lawnmower blow them to the center and rake from there.

These drivers are going to the bathroom in their truck. They don't have time to rape or abduct anybody.

I saw a semi truck on fire this past weekend. Flames were visible under the engine as the driver was trying to put it out with a fire extinguisher. Also remember a friend posting pictures to Facebook as his Volkswagon burst into flames after pulling of the highway.

I have a 46" Samsung LCD TV that was on the first floor when my house flooded 8 years ago. The lower 8-10" was under water, which was enough to cover all the connections. Remote was trashed, so I don't know if it was the touch controls or the TV that wasn't working. After a couple of weeks I gave it another try and it kicked on. It is still working to this day with no flaws on the screen or with the inputs.
Did have an instance of a screen failure on a tablet. Managed to output to a TV, but that had to navigate with the touchscreen by guessing the correct spot to press. Finally manage to pull the files I wanted off of it.

As soon as I read "rectenna" my mind immediately went to Eric Cartman with the satellite dish sticking out his butt.

Billy Bush was fired by NBC after the tape was leaked (had been on the Today Show for about 2 months).

Might want to make sure she doesn't have remote access to the camera in that case (unless that's her thing).

They still have access to the public square. There are plenty of people out protesting at capitol buildings and in the neighborhoods of various public officials. Social media has not replaced that. They are just too lazy to go outside and would rather just click a button from their couch.

Not really a viable solution is less temperate climates. Heating costs would be pretty high here in the Midwest and I'd hate to have to trudge through the snow every time I need to go to the bathroom.

I think they have already been looking to create a Trump-themed news network. So, I'm guessing it isn't going anywhere soon.

My dad made a remark to me about Kamala Harris vowing to take guns away. He doesn't even own one yet. Just has a FOID card.

It's simple. When they tried to type it into Google Translate, their phone autocorrected from "duck" to "dick". The translation tool actually worked perfectly.

How is that any improvement over how they currently drive?

I'll remain remote until at least June 2021 per the last HR communication. They didn't want to create any uncertainty for employees with kids that may be yoyoing between remote and in-person classes based on changes in infection rates. Apparently our company has been extremely productive working from home and nobody is in any rush to go back to the office.
