Being the longest running democracy (though flawed) is encouraging. The rabbit hole of US politics is daunting. I try to not get too emotionally invested.

which com is best for selfhosting?

Not sure what you mean. Would you, please, elaborate?

People using somewhat anonymous accounts feel that they can get away with behavior that would otherwise not be tolerated in real life. If someone doesn’t want to be subjected to such behavior, then there are few options. One of them being refraining from using online forums.

BBC World Service covered this the other day. Seems very promising

That is my favorite one!

Your Mt St Helens photo is beautiful!

Typical idiots shooting themselves in the foot.

Citizens United must go in order for true democracy to thrive.

Interesting

First time I've heard of Fidlar. Went and watched some more of their videos. They're a fun band.

I have never had any adverse reactions to vaccines.

Yeah. I’m going to start using rechargeable hand warmers and go from there. Thanks for your thoughtfulness. I appreciate it.

And that, in turn, makes me happy

My entire family gets the flu shot every fall. Is this something you and your wife would consider?

Mozilla often shutters projects due to funding constraints or lack of adoption as well as had recent cuts to its internet advocacy staff.

Isn't this different though? According to this web page it appears that this is a conglomerate.

Thank you!

Received amazing news the other day. However, I need to back up a little bit in order to explain. My wife and I decided to move to Maine 13 years ago after learning it was our best option for raising children. The cold of winters did not, initially, bother me. Over the past 5 winters it has become increasingly difficult dealing with the cold. Physically I can no longer tolerate January/February as I once did. The cold causes me pain in my joints. I have very little body fat so that doesn't help. Also, I love to be outdoors and the cold prevents me from it.

My children are no longer in need of me being around all the time (they can take care of themselves now). So, for the past couple of years I took a week in the middle of January and flew around the USA to visit with family/friends. This did provide me with a significant mental/emotional break in order to get through the winter. Unfortunately, travel is incredibly expensive so that had to be shelved. This has caused me to become depressed this winter...feeling trapped (cabin fever) and no solution in sight.

And then out of nowhere my biological brother tells me that he'll be moving from the Atlanta Georgia area to either Providence RI or the Boston MA area. He'll be making this move within the next 8-10 months. That will place him in either a 3 or 4 hour drive from my home. So, starting next winter I'll be able to take several breaks from the harsh Maine winters by driving to stay with my brother. When my brother told me about his plans to move I had to sit down because I thought I was going to faint. Then I cried tears of joy for the next ten minutes.

I was one of the beta testers and back then it was severely lacking. Right now D4 is at its best and I can see that it will only get better. This season is tied for one of the best seasons so far. I'll be playing it for several hours today.

Pretty pupper
