    @jolly said in Lincoln Project co-founder sex abuse scandal: How about Breitbart? I considered Breitbart “mainstream” back in 2017, but its viewership has gone down significantly, so at this point I don’t think it qualify as “mainstream” anymore.

    I see young Jared Kushner has been nominated too: https://bbcgossip.com/jared-kushner-and-his-deputy-avi-berkowitz-are-nominated-for-the-nobel-peace-prize/ Say, wasn't he the one implicated in some funny business that involved Deutschbank and shady Russian money going into some real estate deals in NYC?

    Must have LAW AND ORDER !!! Reminds me of a Taiwanese news clip I saw many months ago where a bunch of cops got a bunch of criminals surrounded in a building and was about to bust in to make arrests. The criminals refused to let the cops in saying that the cops were violating COVID-19 rules about wearing masks and measuring their body temperatures before entering a building. Professional enough, the Taiwanese cops all put on masks and organized themselves into a single file and had their temperatures scanned on the foreheads, one by one, before entering the building to make arrests. Subsequent arrests were made without further incident.

    Interesting article, but no real surprise. I think most of what they research was pretty obvious results.

    My single experience with hydroponics was with a couple of heads of butter lettuce I got from Instacart. It was tasty -- as good as dirt lettuce.

    @catseye3 said in Holy Mackerel.: The card, listed by PWCC Market, was purchased by a private bidder on eBay for $555,988. (Plus $8 shipping.) LOL I like the shipping part. Just put it in the mail and let it go. 5555 Maybe the seller should talk to that Fox News guy to get some tips on how best to not send things through the mail. LOL

    Thank you, @jon-nyc. I just want to add that starting from the iPhone X and inclusive of the iPhone SE 2, a non-removable version of that tracker chip is also embedded in your iPhone. Go back to iPhone 8, iPhone SE, or older models if want one without an embedded, non-removable tracker chip.

    @jon-nyc said in Twitter moves to Amazon: FWIW Parler wasn't removed for content per se it was removed because it didn't have a sufficient process to monitor it. I understand. If Twitter allows this content, then its monitoring is clearly subject to improvement. I wonder if AWS will consider that.

    Even us Minnesoooootans have driven that. It was while kiddo was in undergraduate school. It's spectacular. I hope nobody was going too fast on it that night.

    @lufins-dad said in Snow coming: One of these days I will spend a couple of weeks in Buffalo in the winter. I need to see 6 feet of snowfall... We used to get the Buffalo local news when we lived in Ontario. It used to make us feel slightly better about our lot.
