From the article you posted, blocking still stops people from communicating with you. The only difference with how it is now is they can still view your posts. I don't have a dog i…

Many artists (and normal people) publish their works there: from anime girls to short story updates on royal road.

I'm about to do what you just asked people not to do. Perhaps, we're so used to dishonest interlocutors online that we search for intentions in people's statements? Sorry, I had to…

Congress should not be allowed to change any of their positions (besides mutual fund backed retirement accounts, 401ks, etc) while in office. But they'll never vote for this. I gue…

Imprisoned, beaten with foam pool noodles, and pelted with whipped cream pies. Treated like the clowns they were behaving as.

Never thought of it that way. I like the positive framing. Oftentimes I worry about industrial pollution, unsafe and unfair working conditions, and a loss of relevance in high tech…

Interestig, so you could say that the European and American governments share blame in this development. A shame.

Could you elaborate why an executive having sensitive conversations with a governor is corrupt? I'm having difficulty understanding this outlook. My industry has historically been …

That's simply not true, many HAMs in remote areas join to learn how to operate radio equipment and assist crisis responders - especially in the northern frontier states. There's a …

Frankly, the reason China is the last man standing on solar was their aggressive subsidy in the 2010s. Killed all of the American and European manufacturers, then the subsidy ended…

They're normal people - some of them good and some of them bad - some bright and some dim. I'm not trying to be mean when I say this: don't kid yourself into thinking you're in a c…

Some equipment is drop in - hooking up an audio output to a keyed radio is only occasionally difficult. You see a lot of these solutions in the HAM radio space. The actual radio eq…

I don't understand, can you explain why high interest rates will help economic development in the USA in light of its staggering held debt? I'm not an economist, I don't understand…

Conversely, if you've never worked in a factory or a shipyard, I don't want to hear your opinion on excessive safety regulations. I've seen OSHA violations of such severity, of suc…
