A bunch of the U.S. conservatism around sex is related to Abrahamic religion where sex is presented as sinful. Religious indoctrination begins at a very young age for some kids.

EV car batteries have been used for the purpose of storing daytime-generated solar energy to power a home during the night.

Puberty begins as early as 10 in girls and 11 in boys, so 14 may be a little late, at least for some kids.

It is unimaginable Trump is actually running for president, and yet here we are.

From WordNet 3.0

house I noun

1. a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families (Freq. 157)

By that definition, a condo is a house

Sure, people sharing housing, but 36 million people live alone. How many more would live alone if they could?

There are 258 million adults and 144 million homes in the US. Even if vacant housing is reduced to 0, there's still not enough housing.

More than three months after a U.S. Air Force airman was gunned down by a Florida sheriff’s deputy, his family and their lawyer are demanding that prosecutors decide whether to bring charges against the former lawman.

If it had been anyone other than law enforcement and if caught the perp would be behind bars.

i don't know why people are so allergic to firefox...

To which I offered a possible answer. Does everyone have misconfigured operating systems?

The Best Web Browsers of 2024 | HighSpeedInternet.com

Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

Yep, I'd probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.

I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it's slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

...The sanctity of human life, the notion that it cannot be terminated without the highest justification, is what separates us from barbarism. ...

Truer words have not been written, yet we see in the news everyday that crimes are constantly being committed. When we are judged (fit for death) not based on what we do, but rather with whom we associate, we are all in danger.

Cold war redux.

City Councilmember David Glasheen said that he “led an effort to decline the grant” because of a drag show that took place, saying he believes “it is wrong to target children and families with sexual content.”

Conflating gender, sex, and sexual content once again.

Makes sense to me. While it's probably implied in Buttigieg's point, I'd like to add there's a level of contempt for the poor, and by poor I mean folks who are not wealthy.

Project 2025’s approach has been less fanciful and much more focused on policy detail. It rails, for example, against what it calls “abortion tourism” in California and other states and proposes a number of administrative remedies to track women who travel there because of abortion bans in their states, and to withhold Medicaid and other federal funding if California continues to insist that insurance companies make abortion part of their health coverage.

Air tags on every womb? Every pregnancy?

Maybe he's looking at that AP-NORC poll?

Wasn't what I had in mind. Why did the Crooks choose the AR15?

What other kinds of guns were found? I mean specifics. Handguns? Shotguns? Rifles?

I doubt very much whether republican and wannabe-assassin Crooks was influenced by Biden.
