I don't see how we can effectively reduce the barrier to entry. The largest cost is the laying of cable which is massive, and the profit margins are low enough that it just doesn't make sense to do it.

Most Americans have comorbidities...

Removal of lead from gasoline. Though there were so many things that probably played a role too...

Identity is the lever used by politicians to move the world. This includes Obama, Ghandi, and Hitler.

@TruculentSheep TIL quoting from an article is talking out of my ass

@Terry calling everyone who think differently from you a Jew is just as crazy as leftists calling anyone who thinks differently from them Nazis.

@randomthoughts@mstdn.social good point with the corrupt, but the racism isn't cool

@TruculentSheep
? I'm talking straight from the article...
Also I don't have a clue what you're talking about with the "birdsite."

@TruculentSheep
We're not talking about Nazis. We're talking about London-centrism and anti-Brexit being the focus of the channel when much of the UK thinks very differently.

@devurandom@cybre.space
Both sides are crazy, lol

@randomthoughts@mstdn.social
What makes you think so?

He was chased and assaulted for literally putting out a dumpster fire. The only people he shot were people who were assaulting him or trying to assault him.
I do want to say too that two of the people who tried to attack Kyle(the skateboarder and the one who got shot in the arm) were heroes in my eyes. All they heard is that a gunman was trying to escape and tried to stop him. Unfortunately, Kyle defended himself.
It's a sad, fucked up situation, but viewing this situation as black-and-white does a disservice to our nation.

I guess that's the great thing about federation. I wholly disagree with that, but then I also joined an instance that doesn't filter anything for me.
I'm glad it works for you, and thanks for explaining!

@dcbiker
In the 70's, Regan used a massively successful campaign strategy of being tough on crime. Trump is trying to emulate that.

@benhamill
I understand the warning and advising other people to block it on an individual basis. But why would you ask admins to block it? Why would you want admins to make decisions on what we can and can't see?

I think this is where backlit e-ink displays really excel. The Kindle Paperwhite is extremely readable at night without causing me eyestrain.
