I only see three Valve Turner incidents listed in Wikipedia, the most recent of which was four years ago.

Anyway, my suggestions weren’t pipelines or trains out in the middle of nowhere. If they want publicity they should glue themselves to the entrance to a car dealership.

People who support museums tend to be relatively progressive, so all the protesters are accomplishing is to alienate people who likely agree with them.

Can you give an example?

It’s ridiculously inappropriate for climate protesters to attack museums and artworks. They should be going after car dealerships, gas stations, and the like, not creative works that have no direct impact on the environment.

Yeah, it’s actually kind of impressive how they’ve retained all of the negative aspects of organized religion and none of the positive ones.

I was thinking the same thing. The Republicans deserve exactly the same respect for the law that they have demonstrated themselves. The governor should appoint whoever he likes and tell the Republicans to suck it.

I used to have an orange Handspring Visor PIM, which ran the Palm OS. If I’m remembering correctly the original team that developed the Palm Pilot left to start Handspring. My friend topped me by buying the phone module for hers. It seemed almost breathtakingly futuristic at the time.

This sort of package used to be much easier to open when I was growing up back in the 60s and 70s. I don’t know why, but packaging has gotten significantly worse since then.

Yeah, I haven't seen all the RLM videos, but I've read that there used to be a woman who participated in them sometimes who stopped because she was disturbed by some of the fans' comments about her.

I don’t doubt that he and his various partners had sex at some point, but his children were all conceived via IVF.

That’s a really good one.

Some governmental entities have started setting up their own Mastodon servers. I think that’s really the way to go. There’s no reason emergency services should depend on Musk’s goodwill and technical competence.

Yes, everyone I know outside the US uses it. If I understand correctly years ago in a lot of countries SMS was either very costly or unavailable, while WhatsApp was free.
