The lack of a person watching you check out does not mean no one is watching. They absolutely are and you are being recorded the entire time you are in the store.

Here are a few suggestions:
Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry
Sign up for a church email newsletter and go there when they are doing pot-luck meals (bring a dish to pass)
If you are into sports, sign up to volunteer as a coach.
Don't buy all of your groceries all at one time. Buy a few things each time and go more often. Even if you don't meet or talk to anyone but the workers, you will be around other people.

RFK's campaign was never about any kind of message or policy issue or even actually trying to win.

His goal in all of this was to exploit his family name to try to bleed off some of the votes from Biden to help Trump win. Now that Biden has dropped out and Harris has taken his place, Trump is getting worried that RFK might actually get more Trump votes than Harris votes. That's okay, I was never going to vote for either RFK or Trump.

Do you have any Amazon add-ons (extensions) installed in Firefox? Did you, or someone who uses your computer, install any software recently?

If it is a Firefox add-on causing the issue and you have more than one that could be the culprit, start by disabling all of them. If that fixes the issue, then it is just a matter of enabling each add-on (one at a time) to discover which one is causing the issue. When you figure out which one it is, uninstall it.

Trump has always rambled incoherently. That isn't new. His base loves him because he represents selfishness and racism. That is who they are. They don't seem to care that he is a coward and a nutjob. Rich people love him because he will do just about anything for anyone who will publicly shine his shoes.

He's a nitwit and he always has been.

I tend to get a new phone every other year. I bought a phone last year so I will probably be excited to see the Pixel 10 next year!

The party nomination isn't official until the delegates vote at the convention. That isn't new. The nomination is never final until the convention.

The people voted in the state party primary. Biden and Harris were the incumbents on the Democratic party ticket. Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Harris as his replacement. If the party does not largely agree that Harris should be the new nominee, they will have an opportunity to vote for someone else at the convention.

For me this doesn't change anything. My vote was always going to be for the Democrat. Not because I love Democrats. I really don't. But because any other vote is basically a vote for the moron in the stupid hat, and I really don't want that.

While I will be the first person to admit that I don't completely understand either, the concept is pretty simple.

Think of a digital recording being something like sheet music. Sheet music is a set of instructions on how to play a song that anyone who knows how to read music can reproduce.

Digital recordings work in a similar fashion. The playback device reads the instructions which include things like frequency and volume, and is able use that information to make a perfect playback of the digital recording.

Could it be recreated by random chance? Sure. Would it? Probably not. At least not easily.

Fun fact: a small amount of vinegar in the cooking water helps to keep potatoes from getting mushy.

No matter how much the orange man pretends to distance himself from it, one detail will always be true: Democrats and liberals will never support Project 25. So the only way Project 25 has any viability is with a conservative in the White House.

So, Comb-over Donnie, tell me again how you have nothing to do with it? It won't happen without you!

I like my Crocs, but for me they are not a very good shoe for my feet.

I have one pair of Crocs that I bought last year. First thing I noticed was the textured footbed. It's kinda spiky and not very comfortable to me. I have been amazed at all of the comfort claims due to this. You can and do get used to it, but the first couple of weeks is not comfortable at all.

Also, I'm a big guy and Crocs don't offer much in the way of arch support. I have never had arch issues until I wore Crocs on a regular basis.

I also lose interest in certain things when asked about them. I try to continue anyway, but I am not always successful at doing that. There is a project I am currently working on that I am struggling to complete because of this.

For me it's the anxiety of disappointing the other person. I would rather they are disappointed right now rather than make an effort and have them still disappointed.

As I have gotten older I have learned to mostly ignore the the anxious thoughts, because they are often not true, but they are always there and I am not always able to shake those feelings.

Talk with your doctor. It's likely they can help you with this.

The biggest issue is Apple and their closed ecosystem. I can modify, remove, or disable most of the apps and settings I don't like on an Android phone. I can even load a different OS if I want. With Apple most of that isn't even possible.

If the extender has a different SSID, you can disable auto connect for that access point.

Exactly this! Very few people ever complain that the military is losing money. Healthcare should be the same way. It should operate at a loss.

Whoa, this is heavy!

Forming relationships are all about risk. If you know this much about her already it's possible she already likes you!

Go for it!

Don't threaten me with a good user experience.

I buy Samsung SSDs when I can afford them, Kingston when money is tight. Samsung is faster, especially their NVME drives. Both have been very reliable for me.

How about this instead? We vote for Biden to ensure that former President Orange does not get elected. Then, and only then, do we try to get Biden removed from office for his failure to protect Palestinian civilians.

Allowing Orange to win would make things worse for both Palestine and Ukraine.
