No, I'm not pretending that the FDA is nothing but good, that is a straw man. What I said was correct as I said it, you didn't need to invent a point that I did not make. Your argu…

Rather than an agency that is accountable to publicly elected officials, in your mind profit driven entertainment businesses would perform this role more reliably? Self-responsibil…

I share your opinion on the likely veracity of the allegations and would also like an explanation for the flagging of this post and the repeated deletions of similar posts. Why is …

It's troubling to have even a potentially very low security risk in hardware I paid for being beyond my reach to resolve.

Not sure if you are speaking out of knowledge of this particular individual but with respect to other cultures, a biological male presenting as female does not necessarily mean tra…

> It also seems pretty arrogant to assert you know better than everyone else. I did not assert that. I made a correction, which was in fact correct. The meaning does exist, and com…

> So it goes both ways - just because something is the case in your region doesn’t mean it’s true across the board. I never said nor suggested that it did. I was criticizing the pe…

No, the person you replied to was correct (for my region and presumably his). My knowledge of the term mirrors his and I'm kind of disappointed to see so many people asserting ther…

> If you know anyone into crypto you would know they talk about it non stop. Not really. There are a lot of people holding, mining, DCA'ing into projects they believe in who have n…

I would not want to be a friend to the sort of idiots who would say stuff like this. Having a target painted on my back as a decoy somehow makes it even worse.

Yes, everyone in the region was (I live near Kelowna). BC Wildfires last year were apocalyptic.

The problem lies with all of the little ways a dysfunctional democracy fails to take care of it's people. I don't think it makes any sense to suggest dissatisfaction causes these p…

I think increasing cores/power limits just gets you up to some other bottleneck. At some point you are adding 90% more power use for 3% more performance.

What countries are these you keep referring to?

Many industries do a lot of harm to the environment for profits. On the spectrum of those, where do cryptos fall? I don't know and personally hold only a little bit, nothing I woul…

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

It is -just- because voicing those opinions is dangerous though? My understanding is that Chinese aggression is a major regional concern, even for average people.

I don't think there are any poisonous cucumbers in the us, his cat should be fine.

This was my attitude as well for much of my career, and it was a mistake. The "correct" decision depends on the state of the business and your resources at the time. And nothing el…

After liking this article, I wanted to check out others on the site, and am shocked at the terrible usability of their front page. I can't finish reading the titles of their articl…

Rather than throw the whole thing out because the premise was once applied poorly, the legislation could restrict the actions taken with said logs. PII and the selling and collatin…

Your stance that they are overly intolerant would have more credibility if you had stated it more tastefully. As it is, you have lead me to believe your attitude was more likely th…

Won't amazon cancel them when they keep getting copyright letters? Or do vpns have some other use I am not aware of.

I don't think it's a valid argument to brush raised issues aside as excuses. Media companies are aggressively litigious bullies and the way they conduct their business is at odds w…
