    Airport measles case reported in Idaho, state with lowest vaccination rate

    These people don't care about measles but do they care about mumps? Maybe if you show them what mumps can do to testicles they would give their kids the vaccine. Mumps can maul your balls and leave you in a lot of pain and infertile.

    Water utility announces it’s ditching fluoride—then reveals it did so years ago

    Quad Cortex mini: Insane amp modeling power for the discerning guitarist

    I was waiting for the part about usability and I know this is my problem but that sounds like a completely miserable experience. I want simple to use gear. I would spend days learning how to use 10 percent of the capabilities and then have to relearn it again at some point. And there is such a...

    Has Elon Musk given up on Mars?

    Driven: The 2026 Lamborghini Temerario raises the bar for supercars

    How’s the entertainment system and HVAC controls? I bet there’s no CarPlay on that thing. Is there a subscription for $119 a month involved?

    A century of hair samples proves leaded gas ban worked

    I remember buying leaded gas for the 1967 Ford Good Humor ice cream truck I drove in the summers during the mid-80s. The truck ran nonstop for hours and hours, not because it was needed for the freezers but just because it moved around a lot. Sugar and lead fumes put me through college. But the...

    “I don’t fear Ken Paxton”: Nurse vows to keep shipping abortion pills to Texas

    I guess he left. He almost sounded like he knew something. Glad my Attorney General is doing that. Who are these people who downvote good faith questions?

    “I don’t fear Ken Paxton”: Nurse vows to keep shipping abortion pills to Texas

    Interesting. So why won’t a lot of hemp suppliers ship something like delta 8 to NY? Seems risk free to them. They’re too moral?

    “I don’t fear Ken Paxton”: Nurse vows to keep shipping abortion pills to Texas

    I despise Corrupt Popeye and the Texas GOP as much as anyone, but could Texas pass a shield law that allows its residents to start sending automatic weapons by mail to states that ban them? Seems like slippery legal ground.

    Measles continues raging in South Carolina; 99 new cases since Tuesday

    Happy to live in NYC where in 2023 life expectancy went up to 82.6 according to the NYC Health Department. In South Carolina according to the CDC it was 73.5 in 2024. Yet this is supposed to be the bad place they're all afraid of. Bottom 10 states by life expectancy (CDC 2024): Mississippi...

    Remembering the best and worst about Windows 10 on the year it technically “died”

    Full screen ads? In Windows? Who gets that? The main problem with Win11 is Edge. But once you figure out how to never see Edge it's great at opening, running and closing programs and that's all I really care about. Haven't seen an ad for a long time except the Home tab in Settings where they...

    Trump admin threatens to break up major climate research center

    We're going to take the full brunt of everyone's anger. When Pakistan, a huge nuclear power, is dying and its people are either flooded or parched, they're going to be very angry at us.

    Trump admin threatens to break up major climate research center

    Republicans' dream is for the US to be the last country on earth pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In the span of 10 years China has gone from public enemy #1 on climate change to the world leader, and we're the world's dog pulling up the rear. When climate change...

    Texas sues biggest TV makers, alleging smart TVs spy on users without consent

    That’s nice. They’re probably not completely wrong about China too. My LG OLED still says “For a Better Experience Click Here to Connect Your TV to a Network”.
