  • A better question would be what are you going to do to make sure the orange Mussolini doesn’t win?

    Make sure you, your friends, and your family are Registered to vote.

    Make sure everyone you know gets to the polls on our before election day.

    Become a poll worker.

    We need to make sure we vote in numbers too big to steal. In 2000 the election was handed to Bush by the Supreme Court because of one state. Looking at the last term, the court would absolutely find a way to shift the election to the con in chief if it was just one swing state with irregularities.

    Talk to people about project 2025 and what it will mean. This is how the guardrails from 2017 are removed. This is how we start a Christian theocracy. If we vote blue all the way down, the Dems may be able to put stronger rails in place. If it’s not Project 2025 it will be Project 2029. These conservative think tanks have been doing this since Reagan, but this is by far the scariest.

    Talk to friends and family about the Biden administration wins. It’s not just Biden you’re voting for, it is a continuation of his administration.

    Bottom line, this is likely the most important election of many of our lives. All of us must participate.











  • 2018 Subaru Forester

    It might be a bit more updated than most, but in general less smart than most cars today.

    • Still have to press a button on the key to unlock the doors, or use the convenient key.
    • Need to put the key into the ignition to start.
    • Doors do not automatically lock out unlock.
    • Manual parking break.
    • Rear door is 100% manual (if you didn’t count un/lock with key fob).
    • Basic Bluetooth functionality.
    • Equipped with OnStar, and Sirius.
    • Shipped with 3G cellular, which no longer works. They do offer a free upgrade, I never bothered.

    By my own assessment, it’s the dumbest modern car you can get.


  • I’m always using assistant to play music in the car or on home speakers. Gemini isn’t able to do this. I also discovered I can’t use the Gemini app without allowing it to replace the assistant.

    I will say I have had similar problems getting assistant to identify songs. It used to work pretty seamlessly.

    Against all privacy recommendations I do allow my phone to id music at all times. Nice thing is I have a shortcut to history, it doesn’t always work, bit does most of the time.






  • Don’t punish the taxpayer, punish the troll.

    Requiring a government agency to pay a penalty will only ensure the agency will work with less efficiency. In turn, ineffective agencies are further criticized and will become a target for privatization, which only ever serves special interests and those with means.

    Put an end to this one and for all. Pass a law that requires any entity which files suit on the basis of being a parent holder must show that they use the patent to earn income from sales that are proven to be independent from them and their officers. If the suit is only being filed for easy money, they should be fined heavily.
