QuoteDeusxMac No great loss. Her acting chops were mediocre at best. Which made her perfect for the horrible dialogue I think she fit the part pretty well, so it's too bad, but I don't think it's that great of a show anyway... I also have a bit of a feeling people should be able to say and even think stupid things and still work, but I understand peoples' feelings on this.by kj - Tips and Deals
It's possible some had a different experience, but it's even more likely they want to continue working... "Badmouthing" previous employers has a chilling effect on future employment. Maintaining a "positive working environment" often means shut up and deal with it. Not hard to believe. Sucks to hear it, as I enjoyed Buffy/Angel, Firefly as much as I've enjoyed watching aby kj - Tips and Deals
I would just replace it. I was having odd electrical problems, two different stores tested the battery and said it was fine. Difficulties starting, lights turning on by themselves, weird stuff. I went back in, the guy at autozone literally berated me for buying a new battery, but it immediately fixed all the problems. In fact, it's been a few years. No way it wasn't the battery, so the testiby kj - Tips and Deals
Quotefreeradical Sodium hydroxide is not used to control the "acidity" of water. It is used to remediate the water by causing cations to precipitate out of the water in the form of metal hydroxides. I find it really surprising that Reuters can't even get a basic fact like this correct. In this day where you literally just have to lift up your phone and type in a search, it absolutelby kj - Tips and Deals

Others are echoing the main part of what I was saying. My very mini point is that, for example, what did Zuckerberg actually do to save democracy? I don't know if I believe he selflessly defended our democracy. It's been a few days now, but I don't remember the article including any details at all. At the same time, I don't even a fraction of a percent believe he helped steal the election, ofby kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Yeah, that's why I initially posted this. If you read the article, you have to believe what they say. I don't believe what they are saying, but I don't come to the conclusion that they stole the election. But I sure would have known it would be taken that way.by kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
I like that video. Apparently there is some question whether it was dubbed when the beatles recorded it, but I guarantee he could have played it. I saw a video of him playing with Ravi once, and he was playing some pretty technically difficult stuff. I'm sure he could handle that, if he wanted. A lot of the Beatles music is deceptively difficult.by kj - Tips and Deals
QuoteAcer If Zuckerberg were in on it, he did a terrible job. His platform enables the crazy. Reason nearly lost (and still lost state houses and House seats) partly because of the echo chamber his algorithms encourage. That's one reason I find the article so odd. He's part of the "cabal" that is responsible for preserving democracy? That just doesn't make sense to me.by kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Quotesekker If 'a whole bunch of people thought fascism was a bad look for America and did their part to defend our Democracy' is a 'Shadow Campaign', guilty as charged! I was speaking in terms of the effects of the article, etc. rather than the accuracy, etc. As far as the content, I don't feel reassured that Zuckerberg and others are entrusted with preserving our democracy. Well, and that kby kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
I think the article is just as bad as the title, if nothing else, for being inflammatory at just the wrong time. I think the editors might be good if the goal is to get reads/clicks, etc. But the editors definitely need a better goal, in my opinion.by kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Something is odd about this article in Time. Fox News and Trumpers in general are using this as "proof" the election was stolen, and when I read the article, I believe at the very least the writers had to know this would happen. It seems to be crafted with this in mind. Planned Parenthood, Greenpeace, Mark Zuckerberg are part of a massive cabal that saved democracy. Seriously? I'mby kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Thank you. Before I got over there, she went back to best buy and returned the monitor, and bought a 4k LG monitor. Very nice monitor, very sharp, and in every way nicer. I now think it was probably a combo of the curved-ness, and the low resolution. However, I also think it could have been a bum unit because the difference is so huge. At any rate, I wish she had waited, but it's all good noby kj - Tips and Deals
We're taking it back, but I would like to get some recommendations on a better one. I don't think a tv would have sharper text. The text is plenty big, just fuzzy. I have 20/20, so it actually IS fuzzy, not just my vision. I actually think the monitor might be too big to sit that close, which is why I was thinking a 24".

Yeah, the text was large, but fuzzy. I've never had that problem, even with cheap TN monitors. Although it does look similar to what it looks like using a TV as a monitor.by kj - Tips and Deals
It's not 4k, so probably 1080p. HDMI, as that's what came with the monitor. I read a bunch of people on forums say they scale their 4k monitors to 180% to read text, because otherwise it is so small, and that seems silly. Also, the cheapest 4k I've seen is at Best Buy (330.00), and it's really dim.by kj - Tips and Deals
300 or so, or less. We went shopping, picked up a mac mini m1, a printer, and a 27" curved samsung monitor, as she liked that one the best. Well, I think it's good for videos, and other things, but not so much for reading text. She complained, I spent some time on it, and I agree: text is fuzzy, and weird.

I think it's nearly impossible to think they would find a physical defect that could be, with any certainty, pinpointed as the cause for his behavior. So I think Pence is right about that. I also think he is right that the Democrats are going for max political points, in addition to doing what's right for the country. I don't think he really wants to help them score extra points, and I underby kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Being smart and being "good" are not the same thing. Plenty of average good people, plenty of evil smart people. Very few believe our educational system should have any responsibility for making good citizens anymore. That's kind of an "outdated" idea.by kj - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

QuoteDennis S Quotekj I actually don't think there has ever been more good music. Of course you have to find it in a larger pool of bad music. But it's there. Most of the people I hear say this are classic rock fans. I'm SO done with classic rock. When I hear it, I literally have to stop and take a dump. Literally, huh?

Yeah, I'm glad to see that there is an option even if it is a pre-mid 2010 machine. I'm currently using my nice gaming laptop for work, and I would love to use something else, and it sounds like there's a good chance this one will work. It doesn't have to do much, and I definitely don't want to spend money on it.by kj - Tips and Deals
Quotehal Quotekj I think Pence might be peeved enough that Trump sent a mob after him, that he may be all in on twentyfifthing him. He may have some vestigial political instincts though, that could make it hard for him. I don't think he's up to it, but if Pence played his hand perfectly, he could sell Trump as a bad guy and then slay him.
