    Data shows who was reading “fake news” before 2016 US election

    Not only that; Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan are still a thing on the radical left: Obama's Radical-Left Ties Broad And Deep https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obamas-rad ... -and-deep/ Cognitive dissonance - for example - believing that political radicals are only on the far right.

    Appeals court seems poised to reverse landmark Qualcomm antitrust ruling

    Here are two examples of two Democrats that have been, and are, at some polar extreme - Infanticide - just kill the baby if having it might adversely impact the mother’s mental health, even after it’s been delivered: “Gilbert: So how late in the third trimester would you be able to do that...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars starts its final season on February 21

    Great series with the exception of Hondo and his ill-conceived pirate band. Every time a Star Wars film trots out some earth culture adjacent character with an overdone accent like this (or Jar Jar Binks, or Dexter Jettster) I just cringe.

    Goodbye Microsoft Edge, welcome Microsoft (Chromium) Edge

    A lot of news articles tend to leave out the fact that Edge Chromium has removed over 50 Google services which has a positive privacy implication: https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-is-mi ... om-chrome/

    California considers state-brand drugs to fight “greedy pharmaceutical companies”

    I'm on board with that. Perhaps I used the term conservative too rigidly. I denounce Trump at every opportunity, though I try to avoid contention for contention's sake as well. I was kind of sad to see Marianne Williamson abandon her bid for presidency. She might have been just the wake up call...

    California considers state-brand drugs to fight “greedy pharmaceutical companies”

    You're right, the term Conservative is not always used correctly. I've disapproved of the Republican Party for decades. There's practically nothing left worth saving. Being a classical, personal conservative (lower-case "c"), I still use the term conservative classically :-) Honestly though...

    California considers state-brand drugs to fight “greedy pharmaceutical companies”

    It just seems like so many people are so intellectually lazy that they lump all conservatives in with Trump supporters. Take your level of “anti-Trump” and quadruple it at least to get some inkling how much people like myself are anti-Trump. He is an abomination that has me longing for a third...

    California considers state-brand drugs to fight “greedy pharmaceutical companies”

    Not even close; your asinine definition of conservatism indicates pathological dishonesty: https://www.britannica.com/topic/conservatism “Conservatism is a preference for the historically inherited rather than the abstract and ideal. This preference has traditionally rested on an organic...

    California considers state-brand drugs to fight “greedy pharmaceutical companies”

    It’s really depressing to read comments by ostensibly well-educated people, all frothing at the mouth for government to take over yet another domain of our hum drum lives. Some of whom brag about how efficiently government run programs are. On a related topic, look at the common outrage (shared...

    T-Mobile touts “nationwide 5G” that fails to cover 130 million Americans

    As far as I can tell, 2018 iPhones and newer are compatible with the band that T-Mobile is/and has been using for this rollout, band 71 @ 600Mhz. Some iPads are also included: "Extended Range LTE – 600 MHz-compatible devices: Our Extended Range LTE signal reaches 2X as far and penetrates walls...

    Ars reviews three cell signal boosters—and they actually work

    It’s not currently possible for him to do what you’re suggesting due to the dark psychic forces that are at play. Only after Marianne Williamson meets Donald Trump on the astral battlefield and her love force vanquishes him could such a thing even be contemplated.

    Swapping spark plugs for nanopulses could boost engine efficiency by 20%

    “only the most fringe reactionaries are able to claim with a straight face that climate change is not a thing.” I usually don’t like the word “stupid”, but I think it’s fitting here. This is a stupid statement. Not one serious person claims that “climate change is not a thing”. There is a...

    “We are very sorry”—Boeing CEO apologizes for 737 Max deaths

    I don’t doubt that he’s genuinely sorry for the deaths. I do wonder though if he and others in similar positions might sometimes put too much emphasis on profits over people’s safety and there is a need for a strong course correction.

    Dark Phoenix isn’t an epic X-Men conclusion—but it’s a darned good teen flick

    I watched this show with my wife. It was so bad she wanted to walk out. I stayed so I could finish my pizza and see how it ended. It was pretty bad overall. I've said it before with other movie reviews; pretty much whenever Sam doesn't like a movie, I'm sure to enjoy it, and vice versa.

    Captain Marvel review: The hero we, and Marvel Studios, need right now

    I watched it last night with my wife. It was OK, but didn’t hold a candle to Captain America Winter Soldier. The activism vein was quite strong in this movie. Edit: So as not to come across too negative, I was pleased that for once they didn’t under power the main character. Poor Hulk and...
