Seems like asking for disappointment

if you want a decent cheap option, the wyze watch seemed okay

Indeed. I might vote for some Greens down-ballot, but Stein is a stain on the party and its cause

Certainly if she has been trying to effect real change in a realistic way, rather than an egocentric impossible run at the presidency.....

Things would have been different. She was one of many straws, which if subtracted, would have prevented trump

So for that and that alone, she and the rest of the greens can fuck right off.

See the No Labels folks for a more common sense way to be activist on national level politics.

Greens would be great if they would focus on good, winnable races from the bottom up....

What that called again?? Uhh 'grass roots'

I'm not a huge trek nerd, but recently watched the whole series, and the two main irritations were the blatant/unnecessary/annoying/offensive sexualization, and the theme song.

It's easy to skip the opening sequence but the gratuitous fetishizing was pretty awful. The whole series would have been better without.

They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.

It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again

One of the two men you mentioned will win -- barring a death before the election, either Biden or Trump will be elected.

All the wanking in the world isn't going to result in a third option with even the remotest chance.

I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.

Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.

But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like "stickers" and then the pin-code harassment.

Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)

I've mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.

Those shadow accounts would need to be 'lived in' to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices


border agents were extremely suspicious.

from: http://www.thebikecomesfirst.com/the-raleigh-vektar/

The Vektar, the worlds first computer bike, was launched in 1985 long before we had health and safety laws. Equipped with ‘micro chip technology’ the rider could see how fast they were going, how far they had gone and how long they had been riding for at the touch of a button. The head’s down display ensured that you would ride into the back of your mate or a kerb as you fiddled with the control panel.

If that wasn’t enough you could listen to the radio on one of the three AM preset stations either while riding the bike or parked up hanging out with their pals. Later models came with a MW tuner giving even less crappy sound quality.

The main feature though was the advanced warning and alarm system. Once you had chosen one of the eight sounds from the ‘revolutionary sound generator’ on the top tube mounted control panel, you could use the handlebar mounted controller to terrorise old ladies as you rallied around the housing estate
