Re: ‘ A Lecturer Showed a Painting of the Prophet Muhammad. She Lost Her Job ‘ - 23 days ago

can't read behind the paywall. but this is the sort of thing that a "free" society must guard against, lest we get too "scared" of hearing people shouting.

Re: “A Black 'Wall Street Journal' reporter was detained while working outside a bank “ - 23 days ago

I think anyone "hanging around a bank" would be subject to much the same treatment. He was, apparently, not immediately arrested upon sight, so there is something to the argument that it was considered "trespassing." This is just a case of the police acting as bank security guards, as we have allowed them to be in our society (I'm guessing perhaps since the Jesse James era of

Re: Any of you actually watch this Avatar Water movie? - 23 days ago

QuoteJoeH I saw the first movie. Special effects were great, the story was very so-so and predictable. It made no lasting impact on me, and I have no intention of seeing it again or any sequels to it. yup. very disappointed in the "story" as it could have been written without such ridiculous clichés.

Re: just breaking?!......Kevin McCarthy wins the speakership...... - 24 days ago

QuoteAcer A little taste of the flaws of the parliamentary system. A slate of concessions to get the vote of the most extreme nut-job in the room. I've been having this debate forever with friends who believe "if we just had viable multiple parties" many of our legislative problems would be solved. They simply fail to see that the wackos will have their concomitant parties as well.

What would I notice if I upgraded? yeah, you do have a "mill" versus a grinder. a grinder does exactly that, it presses the beans between two discs with sharp edges that grind the beans. I have used both extensively, and the proper bean grinder will give you
