A blade of grass emits the same amount of compounds regardless of where it decomposes, whether in a cow's stomach or the fields were it grew and died.

Just. Stop. With the "Cows are gonna cause global warming and kill us all" line. That cows eat and concentrate the emissions due to decomposition makes no more or less emissions compared to millions of blades of grass decomposing throughout the millions of square acres of grass fields. It is still just dead grass decomposing.

So Kalifonians who want to buy and drive supercars like Ferrari and Lamborghini will have to move out of the state? Because who'd spend that much on a purposely crippled supercar?

This will spell the end of such high end automakers in CA.

F that!

I still have not found way to do remote desktop with Wayland, x11vnc doesn't work in it. Tried Freerdp as well, no bueno.

If you know of something that works, I'm all ears.

Welcome to Windows. How many copies do you run?

This is why backups are so important, even for regular folks.

If you're not backing up regularly your sitting on a pile of dynamite with a lit fuse. There is no IF just WHEN you will lose data.

Large spinning disk media pluggable USB drives are almost a dime a dozen so there's no excuse to not have one.

No, sorry - apples to oranges comparison.

Many/most cancers are or become terminal. That's a far cry from Covid-19 and its less than .2% mortality rate. mRNA treatments have many undesirable side effects possible in otherwise healthy people that are acceptable risks with cancer patients. Healthy folks should not have to be forced to take the jab that ended up doing NOTHING to stop covid from contracting or spreading it.

Wake up people, you've been and continue to be lied to.

I agree. I've been using FF since its inception and have no issues with it on my 8G RAM system (Ubuntu Linux). I regularly have 20-40 tabs open and read my email in T-bird at the same time.

Updates happen fairly regularly and only one Tbird update broke my Thunderbird requiring a re-install.

I don't get why Chrome is so popular, it does nothing better than FF and it harvests data as much as any google product does, that is too much!

Anytime I'm at a client doing maintenance I always install and recommend using only FF and have never had any complaints.

FF's main problem (IMO) was they basically cloned chromes UI which I hate BTW.

I agree. My GF has minor hearing loss and she is thankful for the level of continuing support she gets from the audiologists. You're not paying for just the device, but the cost also includes hearing analysis, checkups, periodic tune ups and other value added procedures like warranty replacement.

"real" hearing aides are more than just amplifiers now, they do complex noise cancellation, directional control, noisy/crowded room modes, and frequency shifting.

Hers are 5 or 6 years old now and don't have many of the features the newer ones have, but she is (rightfully) fearful of getting the new ones because they are rechargeable (like EVs she would rather take 30 seconds to change batteries than have to wait for a charge), rely on an "app" on an unsecure smartphone and internet connected which she really doesn't like and I, as a longtime IT pro don't blame her. These medical devices should be as standalone as possible for security against intrusion and patient data leaks.

The powers that be can't be this stupid as to push this crap & not know it will end in disaster. The USA consumes 135 billion gallons of gas alone a year. (forget diesel for a minute) At ~10Kw per gallon (@IC ~30% efficiency) thats adding 1.35 quadrillion watts of demand on an electric grid that is already shutting off peoples air conditioning as we speak? An average household consumes about 12Kw per day. Now add 20-40Kw to that every night to top off your BEV daily commuter... Not to mention that half the USA is still powered by coal-fired plants which are evil and *must* be shut down. (thanks woke-Nipsco) Oh, and we can't go nuclear because that fission stuff is evil too. So it's windmills & solar panels made in China, in coal powered factories dumping toxic waste into rivers... And speaking of, how 'bout that 500,000 pounds of earth dug up in China to make ONE Bev battery?? How green is your Tesla now? My 4 banger 'yota gets 35mpg & has 300K miles, still runs great. If it was a BEV I would be on my THIRD set of batteries by now, at $15,000 to $20,000 a pop. And lets not even think about the cost per Kilowatt-Hour of electricity in 10 years when the green-fairies shut down all the coal, gas & nuke plants. WTF, can anyone be serious with this crap?? really??? Come on sheeple, use your heads

Why could they not have included a "drone" camera with it's own light source that could be released near the scopes final destination and maneuver it near the telescope to keep an eye on it?

I realize there would be risk of it hitting the telescope if a malfunction, but still...

Except when the cloud doesn't provide.... or the internet is down or.... a host of other problems that might happen.

Because ideally all encounters would go as planned and that number would be zero.

But this is the real world so it will never be ideal.

From the 2019 FBI Uniform Crime Report

10 million = number of arrests in the US
1,004 = number of civilians shot by police
41 = number of unarmed civilians shot by police
19 = number of white unarmed civilians shot by police
9 = number of black unarmed civilians shot by police
89 = number of police killed in the line of duty

I took this reply from another forum:

Something to reflect on. Maybe we need to have a discussion about these numbers and what they really mean. My guess is that more than 9 blacks were killed in Chicago last weekend. Not sure how many of them were unarmed. And it seems like no one cares.

When you look at 10 million arrests and only 41 unarmed civilians shot and killed, that seems like a pretty low number. Higher than it should be, but lower than one would think given the rhetoric.
