British Columbia, Canada just went to permanent DST.

So far, it seems no different than before. Maybe it’ll be different when others set their clocks back in 6 months.

Realistically, I can’t see it making much difference. People already don’t live in alignment with their circadian clock.

That’s what HE said!

Small price to pay for distracting people from the Epstein files.

Someone ate it?

Peace and sanity.

Well, “holy” just means “set apart” and there’s a lot that sets this one apart.

Done by Israel. Seemed obvious from the start.

Fibre is just strands of extruded glass; one of the most common substances on earth.

Sure beats the blood minerals needed for memory, and to scale up, you just extrude longer strands.

Totally different. This is a multi-way religious war with Sunnis and Shias taking sides, and then Jews and Christians piling in. And on top of that is oil and nuclear weapons.

Iran has been kept destabilized by the rest of the world for the past 50 years because it brings stability to the rest of the region. KSA, UAE, Oman and Qatar are all quite happy to have Iran playing defense, as is Pakistan (traditional Persian lands and culture overlap most of the current national boundaries).

The main players in the Middle East have been fighting for the last 3,000 or so years, and it hasn’t been a cold fight. The US is traditionally willing to pour just enough weaponry into the area to keep things off balance.

Nest and Eero/echo are two brands I wouldn’t trust even if jailbroken. They’ve both been shown to contain more hardware than originally announced after some third party tear downs.

That’s the way; study political science in university and set up a PAC towards your election for some far off date. Have anyone interested donate to the PAC, and then spend years trying to get elected after you graduate, using those funds for your campaign — many different types of activities can count as campaigning.

A dip in arrests, but did the extrajudicial renditions to Texas stop?

Isn’t this the result of government actions last June? Are they still tear gassing the entire block 8 months in???

The silly thing is, those in their 60s and 50s are Generation X — you know, the generation with a lower population that boomers and millennials usually forget exist.

Since by design cryptocurrencies aren’t backed by banks/nations and any transaction is permanent, they are by definition not safe.

At best, you can save out your wallet to an encrypted drive, then write it back to your phone when you need to use it. Make copies, so if one gets lost, you don’t lose the value itself.

Yeah; seems like a no-brainer for Russia; just look at the cost/benefit; they fielded two jets that did some useful reconnaissance, and in return the US and Canada expended millions in a show of force that accomplished nothing else.

Android phones don’t have a BIOS for the same reason that Macs don’t have a BIOS and Raspberry Pis don’t have a BIOS — they run on the ARM architecture, not the Intel-compatible PC architecture.

As such, the bootloader system is compliant with a totally different reference system; ARM (Acorn Reference Machine) has been around almost as long as the IBM PC compatible architecture.

As for the “why are phones more locked down” bit, it’s because they’re supposed to be appliances, not general computing platforms. You want your phone to always work, so if you receive a phone call, text or email, it’s likely going to work.

Although the real answer is that if you buy a computer, you own the computer and get to decide what goes on it (well, unless it’s locked down to Windows or macOS). Phones contain bits that are owned by your carrier, bits that are owned by the manufacturer, bits that are owned by the software developer. And each of those groups doesn’t want anyone else messing with their private software.

Iranians/Persians are white European colonists?

I’m pretty sure this is in response to this particular article spinning the narrative as if some Republicans are actually concerned about what Noem has been up to.

The citation is this article you posted.

Not sure I agree with them though; the article is doing a pretty good job at reporting what actually happened instead of trying to editorialize it for us.

Remember that old phones with no SIM are still able to call 911. You can use them as emergency call boxes.
