Wow, that's a really good idea!!!

hahahaha, I love this!

Also those of us that are capable of doing this sometimes don't have the time or inclination. I could Arduino my whole house, have automation for everything but I don't. I'd rather have a glow in the dark wizard staff or a drone shaped like a star trek ship.

Try gaming company Slitherine. They filled that gap. Paradox is another. Smaller game companies fill the void although I am sure the cycle will eventually gobble them up. The Operation Art of War IV has got to be one of the best hex based military simulators out there ever.

I am so happy to read this. We signed up with Xfinity phone package years ago. Tried several times to have our number transferred from Vonage. Eventually gave up and now have two numbers. I figured it was something like this. I don't suspect anything will change since the company can probably just keep doing this as long as the profits exceed the fees. Ho Hum.

I'm sure Kevin Mccarthy is doing just fine troll.

Russian Oil is not out of the supply chain. It is simply going someplace else. They moved the deckchairs, but the band is the same. https://www.freightwaves.com/n....

I often wonder about this too. The problem with the world right now is the internet and the problem with the internet is you can't tell what's real and what is not. Under those terms, at best, the internet is useless as an information medium. At worst, it does what it is doing now: polarizing people, spreading lies and half-truths through unknown entities, real or fake, paid or enticed through zealotry, individual, corporation, or state, all hidden under the mask of anonymity. It is run much the same as the US runs campaign finance. Shell corporations, whale donors, massive, multinational news organizations. Who the hell knows where the money is coming from. Who the hell know who is really setting the political narrative. I am convinced at some point someone is going to come up with an authenticated social media platform where you have a pretty good idea that the entity on the other end of the screen is an actual individual. Until this comes to pass, I pretty much stick the old standards such as NYT, The Economist, New Scientist, etc. Finally, Zuckerberg and his ilk often talk about information being free, yadi, yadi. And somehow tie up anonymity in that mess of an argument. Isn’t the nature of the entity I am dealing with on the other end of this digital con artist I call my device information and shouldn’t I know the nature of that entity.

I use my shift card all the time. Its issued by visa and comes out of my Coinbase account.

Will all be filled by H1B Visa holders.

The problem, it seems to me, is not that the GMO's are safe or unsafe. It's that any trust authority has been completely destroyed by money. The FDA/EPA/USDA are funded by Congress and Congress appears to be corrupt. So anything that branches off of them appears to be corrupt. How are we supposed to believe anything from any of these people with such an appearance of corruption. It's a big money game and sometimes the money coincides with the larger public interest but more often it seems not to. So I believe in what I saw my 80 year old mother eat, who does not have diabetes, does not have heart disease, is not and never has been overweight and still has all her marbles. She ate real food that generations of people ate before her that didn't skip steps or have spider genes inserted in it. She might have accidentally eaten a spider and then ate some corn, but she never ate spidercorn.

I'm going to second the dog idea. Sure, someone determined to steal your stuff might bring a steak, but most crimes are opportunistic. If a dog starts barking before they even enter the place, why bother. In Atlanta I remember reading thieves were chopping through the sides of homes rather than using the windows in order to avoid the sensors and motion alarms. Good luck combating that. And a dog will probably bring some perspective into your life, make you care a little less about all that stuff.

HAHAHAHA!! The 6 degrees of separation. By this logic they can spy on the entire world because everyone knows someone who knows someone who kinda knows someone who . . .
