Thank you so much.

I am completely unaware of a double post, so unsure how that happened.

Love this!

62 year old guy.

I was given a bear when I was born. His name is Growl. I have never once been ashamed of him or hidden him away.

Much more recently (last 10 or 15 years) I was gifted a Build-a-bear Chewbacca. I will never hide him away either.

This is how my wife operates too.

Fantastic for that purpose.

I’m all about Signal’s Note to Self.

My wife’s standards are different than, mine, but I’m reasonably neat and tidy.

So the proposal is to eliminate the right to free association?

And exactly how do you reinterpret The Constitution to reach your goal of overturning Citizens United?

How does one overturn citizens united without overturning the Constitution?

Thanks for the pointer. I’ll check it out.

If Jellyfin had PlexAmp I’d switch in an instant.

I have espoused views in my life I’m not proud of, but I think the same can be said of anyone.

Part of my journey was a search for intellectual consistency. Their are people of faith who are able to do that, I am not one of them. When it comes to politics, there are two contemporary thinkers (Ken White and Radley Balko) who forced me to re-evaluate my beliefs.

I believe there are many Conservative thinkers who hold their positions in good faith. Sometimes they are even correct! I believe there are also many Liberal thinkers who hold their positions in good faith, sometimes they are right also.

So to answer your question, I don’t think my values were bad, some of my thinking about how to implement those values definitely was though.

As with most people we morph over time.

I’m an old guy. I started my life as a right-wing Conservative Christian. I’m now. Both an atheist and an anarchist. So yes people change. My journey has been six decades long.

The math is publicly available!

That is an absolutely hilarious bit. Great application for The Hardly Boys.

Another quality effort.

I’m a Slack guy, when forced to use Teams it just always tried to get in the way of anything I wanted to do and Slack would get out of the way.

Sadly Slack are busy trying to make Slack as obnoxious as Teams.

For a counterpoint, my wife loves Teams. She uses it all day every day, and only has good things to say about it.

More interestingly, lamps in video games use the same amount of real electricity if they are on or off.
