Yes but no because it is the law. It should be law that car companies provide a seat-belt but not that I wear one. Your one sentence straw-man wont suffice here. Again, it's all ab…

I agree with your second comment but not so much the first. Infectious disease control 101: Lock up the infected people but leave the healthy alone. Or else you may have a dwindlin…

Tl;dr a reminder that you are on the internet

My bad, I'm not talking about vaccines here. More replying to this general comment about people that don't comply with governmental decree. Leaving out the fact that GOVT was sayin…

I want people to be able to calculate risk for themselves rather than have GOVT decide what risks people can and can't take. If one doesn't deem it risky to themselves, perhaps bec…

My only objection to the legalization of weed will that the smell is horrific (IMPO!) and it will begin to plague busy streets. How would lawmakers address this because I don't see…

So to get this straight, you are just going to be getting free money for doing nothing, what from your dad? How is this in any way related to UBI? I can already predict the outcome…

I don't see anyone one here talking about this. It is already happening with the furlough scheme. Isn't that the experiment already run already? If the furlough scheme meant (some)…

Thanks for you're reply, I will look into the Motorola's then.

My current phone (S9+) is just not cutting the mustard any more. It's too big and has too many features I never use. I wanted to switch to a dumb phone but from a security and priv…

I still love the patent name for it: "Catastrophically buckling compression column switch and actuator". Still wondering what is catastrophic about it. https://patents.google.com/p…

>What is "Drop"? https://drop.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(company)

I like it a lot and it is very responsive. One thought though, is there any way to reduce the amount of JS/ trackers you are using? UBlock blocking is at 10% and it is still workin…

I checked someone who was part of the leak and the correct initials came up so unless that is by chance, it does seem to be querying the database. You can also read the source code…

I have never used a contact tracing app before. I never leave the house with my phone, and when I arrive at the pub, I get funny looks when I say I can't scan their barcode because…
