    The cynic in me believes that this only took place after numerous meetings during which the question "is there any way we can still make money from this" was repeatedly answered wi…

    Interesting. In the past few years, I heard about how expanding the US Supreme Court was a reasonable approach to take. I wonder if proponents were aware of this case in Venezuela.…

    Go read up on the Almaz. The Soviets mounted a 23mm cannon on one of their early stations. Long before the Space Force.

    It's always worse in (US) election years, and I think it's inevitable for all online discussion sites. When people conflate their identity with their political beliefs, everything …

    I was disappointed that Joplin ( https://joplinapp.org/ ) wasn't included in the app list. Having used both Evernote and OneNote, I've found Joplin to be a better choice, especiall…
