I never saw Art Attack, but this just reminded me of Mark Kistler’s Imagination Station. I forgot that show existed; thanks for the nostalgia!

I find the hardest part about eating vegetables is getting around the wheelchair.

Not bad for a passive income.

I’m sure they will, here’s year one.

No, sorry, I thought you were being snarky.

I’m agreeing with and expanding on what you said. It’s an open forum; that’s how conversations work.

I don’t have a problem with a for profit model as we live in a monetary system and every donation requires a paid staff and medical supplies as well as a donor’s time and willingness as donating is not without some risk.

It is the infinite profit model that is a problem. The immoral example would be sucking every penny out of patients for blood coming from completely free donations. Or worse, requiring people to pay to donate and manipulating them into doing it.

Being detained while an investigation is conducted is not being arrested.

How often are police tipped off before hand that someone is anticipating being SWATed though?

That situation is practically unheard of so it’s impossible to know how police in the US would respond.

Then I guess I’m a criminal.

I already run a VPN. Some of my computers use it, some don’t. I don’t really use the Internet on a couple of them.

I also run a mix of Linux and Windows machines. It all depends on my intention for that machine.

Chrome is Google for me. I don’t (usually) connect my Firefox browser to Google.

I don’t owe anyone a reason for my preferences.

If Google wants to specialize in being a shopping mall with ads, then I am more than happy to use it as such. I don’t run ad blockers as I am fine with ads when I’m specifically trying to shop.

Aside from that, I just prefer to not connect my daily driver browser to accounts that I use where privacy isn’t a concern for me.

I don’t want to use Firefox for shopping.

I switched back to Firefox two or three years ago. It was tough at first but now that I have it setup for me, I like it so much better than Chrome. Very little noise, ad-free most of the time.

Now I only use Chrome when I’m shopping because that’s the only thing it’s good for.

I once saw a decorative bowl containing five apples!

You can find best Linus stickers on Temu!

New England 😆

What is this about? Why do I feel shame?

Sure gonna miss him showing up in our annual security remittance training…
