Comment Re:The people who need to see it won't (Score 1) 128

The people that needed to see this are the Fox News Grandpas still watch 60 minutes on TV.

At this point, do you truly believe if they watched this they’d believe it? Remember, some of the Fox News grandpas and grandmas switched to NewsMax because Fox is “too woke.” These are the same people who believe Trump being in the Epstein files is a deep state hoax.

School shootings are terrible, but in the USA, kids are still over 100 times more likely to die in a car accident than in a school shooting.

And there are many other causes of death that are higher than school shootings as well. School shootings are relatively low on the list.

Of course, they are still terrible, but if we are going to prioritize child safety, the numbers make it clear that children in the USA face many much greater threats than school shootings, and so we would do well to focus on those.

Are there steps we could take to make vehicular travel safer in the USA? Absolutely. Would they save children's lives? Absolutely. So, it seems clear what our priority here should be.

Yeah. Seems clear. Work on both problems. Can you seriously not imagine a functional government that can work on two things at one time?

Comment Re: Wind turbines are bad... (Score 1) 161

Since being outside in public areas away from people is practically the only time I don't feel like killing myself, is it cringe that I try to get a minimum of 2.4 hours (10% of a day) outside? And what if I see discarded culverts almost every trip to a place with streams?

It seemed preposterous to me that you were inundated with seeing such things, that said, I hope you are receiving whatever help you need to not feel suicidal.

How much time are you spending in US Public Forests and how many “culverts just tossed” have you really run into? Are you spending hours a day in the forest? Are you seeing dozens of culverts per day? Just curious how many “so many” are, since you seem to be witnessing them quite regularly.

A yellow pages? Are you bonkers? I haven't seen one of those in decades, but I do remember the last one I got was fairly thin and almost certainly did not have telephone numbers for every nationwide company in it. I'm not saying Google's AI results aren't a problem (HUGE problem), but this is one step up from grabbing the 1950's hard wired leased telephone from Ma Bell and asking Mabel for Bensonhurst 2-14.

No they are simply doing what Trump wants them to do. They are no longer importing certain laptops because the tariff would make them too expensive to sell. Isn't that the goal of the tariffs, to get Framework to stop importing foreign-made laptops and start making them here at home?

What????? Not being able to sell these models profitably doesn’t equate to “and we can make them here.” How would they start making them here? Stop importing foreign components? Spin up a factory? Hire already trained Americans who know how to do this work? No. They just have to stop selling lower margin devices, and are hurt, officially, by the tariffs. This persistent belief that we can just magically make shit here, and make it affordably.

"Redbox is currently not supporting this app. For questions about the service on your account, please contact Redbox”

Sounds like a Redbox issue. I just downloaded the app onto my iPhone and couldn't logon. I'm quite certain Roku isn't behind any of this. Then again, it's an article from ARS Technica (fine) quoting CordCutterNews (worst editing you'll find on the Internet).
