Re: Increasing The Odds Of High-Quality Longevity
I read an article quite a while back about a fellow who was planning to change his medical plans at age 75. At that point, nothing which is intended to prolong life. Yes, treatment for a broken arm or for discomfort or dental stuff or whatever. But no heart bypasses, stents, no CPR, and I think eve...

Re: Ruth Bader Ginsburg
There seems to be a presumption that any vote for a SCOTUS appointee will fall strictly along party lines. Maybe it will, but if so, it is an example of the normalized deviancy of polarized partisanship, which has not historically been the case with appointees, contrary to what McConnell's nostalgi...

Re: When someone's opinion differs from yours...
Well the stakes are not the same in eating an inferior sandwich vs choosing an inferior surgeon. However, is it disingenuous of me to be angry at him for his social media diatribes when a) I chose to read them, he did not send them to me and b) I only follow him because he is a CEO of a startup ban...

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Harry Reid lied about Mitt Romney’s taxes in the 2012 election. All it takes is an accusation and the media takes it from there. Credibility not required. The damage can’t be undone in a timely manner if at all.

Re: Biden/Harris Discussion
This article alleges that Biden is taking an anti-Alzheimer medication that has a side-effect of urinary incontinence. It says he has good days and bad days which you would expect from anyone suffering from the disease and that's why you see him only coming out on "good days". The "good days" howev...

Many people also use cheap WiFi routers and that will negatively impact the speeds you experience.

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
The media response has more to do with the fact that Trump is an outsider not from the established political class than whether he’s a Republican or Democrat. The UniParty establishment doesn’t care if you’re R or D as long as you’re willing to play their game. Trump’s not playing their game (any mo...

Re: Effect of delayed election results
This year I’ll have to stay up and watch the returns. Last time I didn’t want to see Hillary’s win so I just went to bed. I guess I missed some fun TV. In 1976 I was in 5th grade and stayed up with my dad to watch the election returns. It was a late night when Carter was declared the winner. I’ve s...

We're fortunate to have a couple of options for fiber internet where I live so I'm getting 1Gb / 1Gb. Mesh WiFi brings it down to around 400 / 400 depending on the device. $70/mo.

Re: Effect of delayed election results
This is a topic because the Democrats and their narrative engineers in the media have already started prepping the battlefield so that people will be less surprised at the chaos that will ensue after an apparent Trump win on election night. We can probably expect to see the various social media plat...

Actually, the real danger could be relying on Twitter beginning the day after the election, with different groups trying to control the prevailing narrative.

I’m not sure how Trump is doing, but Tim Pool is right: the rioters may as well be out there campaigning for Trump. The democrats aren't doing enough to stop them. They've gotten me to hate them more than republicans. This is going to make voting for a D or an R very difficult this year. You don't ...

Re: Eight more years?
Here's the video, queued to the relevant part of the speech: https://youtu.be/V5CHERi6oDU?t=1025
It was a joke and this is really an absurd discussion. Scott Adams was right when he said that about a third of the general public doesn't even recognize humor when they see it.
