If you’re calling it antivirus, you need security software but probably don’t know how to properly implement it.

From my own observations, kids seem to mostly have a pretty informed and realistic perspective on things right now.

Wait… enough material for 375 million vehicle batteries?

In 2022, the US produced 17.3 million electric vehicles for domestic use, not counting imports.

Assuming no increase in production, that will last less than 22 years, if all lithium is extracted without losses and converted to vehicle batteries only.

Add in losses and other uses for lithium, and that deposit will last a decade, tops.

On the plus side, they don’t need to worry about environmental destruction, considering what currently sits on top of it.

Can we use an animal where that’s actually true? Crabs are very much intersexual, which isn’t quite the same thing as bisexual.

They just have to prove that he intentionally went back to his vehicle and then intentionally left it again to confront the people with the firearm.

If he’d run back to his vehicle and then tried to leave the area while waving his gun, that wouldn’t be premeditated.

But that’s not what he did. He intentionally escalated the situation while not being threatened.

“…which has no meaning at all.”

OK. So I go to a donut shop, and ask for a Boston Creme. The clerk pulls out a donut and gives it to me, I pay him and say thank you and am on my way.

Next, I go to a donut shop, and ask for a Boston Creme. The clerk pulls out an assault-style rifle, waves it around, I pay him and say thank you and am on my way.

Yeah, words have meaning. What part of returning to his vehicle, pulling out a firearm and threatening the protesters with it did you fail to attach meaning to?

He threatened assault with a rifle. The fact that we don’t know if the firearm was legally classified as an assault rifle, in any sane location on earth, would be immaterial.

Or are you worried that he may be confused with someone who could have got a few more shots off into the crowd before being disarmed or killed, due to their faster firing firearm with rifled barrel?

How on earth did he ever have their confidence? He has been seen in business circles as a loudmouthed shyster since the 1980s.

Tariffs are economic medicine just like ivermectin is viral medicine.

So his statement is correct, but his application of it is criminally negligent.

The problem isn’t people looking to retire, it’s people currently trying to live off their investment income who suddenly only have enough capital to live for 17 years less than they had planned.

Or, for people who had invested for their kid’s education, who now find that there isn’t enough money left to pay tuition in September.

Being a narcissist, I don’t think he differentiates between making it great and making it great for him.

So wild birds mutating H5N1 is currently our best defense against another pandemic….

How long did it take China to build itself into a self-sufficient superpower that produced goods for the world?

Around 50 years, with a tight rein on the population and a leadership that had consistency and a 30, 50 and 100 year vision that they continually executed against.

Even in the best case scenario of everybody rallying behind Trump and pulling together behind a single strategy that miraculously turns out to work, Trump will be dead in 30 years or less.

So HE probably isn’t realistically thinking this, even if it’s what he’s decided to tell everyone this week.

One thing about Trump: I do believe that underneath it all, he does want to make America a great nation. He’s just ignorant of how to do that or what it would even look like when achieved.

I’ve been seen as a giant baby-snatching predator by loopy crows defending their nest. That doesn’t mean I am one.

At this point, most of the world is getting past thinking what Trump and his cronies see them as, as it’s likely to change dramatically from hour to hour.

But we might get fed up with the noisy crow.

I was quite a ways through the article before realizing these people were replacing ones with a similar progressive background. So nothing has really changed in the balance of power.

I had a c3 and it was great on hardwood but bad for carpets. Eventually switched to a stick vacuum with beater bar attachment and it works great.

I don’t have these legitimate concerns, and I STILL keep stuff like that as thoughts in my head. The only reason I’d journal my thoughts is if I eventually wanted someone to read them.

I keep my journaling for things I actually do in real life that I want to keep track of.

What is the purpose for writing it down? When you know that answer, then you look for the safest way to accomplish that purpose, which probably isn’t a diary.

Part of me thinks these people are Trump’s real targets with the deportations.

Is avian flu selective about what birds it targets? I’ve been seeing more wild birds than usual this year, and fewer dead ones.

Not always true; sometimes teens do it to get a rise out of some third party or because they want to but aren’t.

For girls, this is pretty much the same as guys sharing porn pics.

Something in Russian and French :)
