I turned off AI overviews in Google search a few days ago. It's often wrong and always distracting. I changed my default search engine to: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14…

Thanks. The front door is a wood grain textured fiberglass double door, so I want to avoid drilling into the door face. It's an interesting challenge. Trying two of these between t…

You're fortunate! Deadbolts are no match for our 22 month old... He already figured out how to disarm three types of safety latches, and he's halfway to opening the safety gates. I…

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered some. I'm worried this style won't work for my front door, unless I can mount it above the door. I have a fiberglass double door... Using two of …

I need a lock like this to prevent my hyper active toddler from leaving the house through the front door. It'll be strange to replace my front door with a guillotine slider, but I'…

The irony is Wozniak and Jobs manufactured and sold devices, called Blue Boxes, that hacked the phone system to provide free phone calls. > "If it hadn't been for the Blue Boxes, t…

Aluminum was once rare too. It was considered a precious metal. The obelisk at the Washington Memorial is capped with Aluminum... I've heard stories that it was used for engagement…

Yes! The movie is a good one. My wife enjoyed it and she doesn't know anything about pinball. There's a little love story woven in. Highly recommend it.

Get new machines if you can afford them. Stern or Jersey Jack. 90s machines are great, I love them, but they are 30 years old and are not where I recommend anyone to start... My fi…

> he said he’d been walking around the world all this time and as soon as he clicked with people, he’d always be saying goodbye. I feel the same way when I take my little vacations…

I love Carlin. Thanks Perhaps you're changing the subject? My original post was in response to an invocation of Karl Marx, the father of Communism... as I understand it, Communism …

You can say the exact same thing about spending... Subsidies and stimuli shape behavior.

I earned a degree in economics, business & management.. But it doesn't matter much. Re-reading my post, it looks like I could have written it better. I was referring to the stimulu…

Please! :) The Castro regime made the decision to seize any land from anyone with 50 acres or more. What sort of outcome did Fidel, Che, and Cienfuegos expect? Well, they expected …

Capitalist societies did more to improve the lives of everyone on Earth than Marxism ever did or ever could. Have you walked the streets of Havana? I have. Talk about oppressive...…

Why is the answer often to raise taxes? Wouldn't less government spending and a higher fed rate have been even better and more efficient? Inflation was already high when the last l…

The article specifically discussed the income EARNED by the evil landlord. Which is taxable income. The income generated by property value is taxed when sold. In most states there …

Where is the evidence that the government is effective at managing money, as you imply? I would agree with that last comment. Currently, social spending on homelessness IS wasteful…

If taxing the rich and wealth transfers worked California would have some of the lowest poverty, illiteracy, and the most affordable housing! Socialism and Communism would be the g…
