Re: Twitter
I never signed up for Twitter. I've regretted signing up for Facebook, although I keep friends and posts really low. I've only been on Next Door a few years, and frequently regret that. As it stands, for me, social media sucks. :cantlook: Same here, I had a Facebook account over 10 years ago and ca...

Re: Fox News, Newsmax, OANN, and other TV purveyors of fake news
I love NPR, but I can’t put something like Fresh Air in the same category as MSNBC, CNN, Fox News etc. The latter I flip around on, tune in and tune out. Typical NPR fare, I settle in and listen. I agree. To be honest I don’t need continuous news. 20 years ago I had to take a job 55 miles away. I l...

Re: Horses! and pets/animals other than cats and dogs
I don't have a lot of experience with horses, but I have a favorite: the Icelandic horse. They have two special gaits that aren't found in any other horse. We were supposed to go to Iceland last summer, and I had planned to ride one since they are an easy horse to ride for beginners. https://guidet...

Re: The Stupid Thread
Several years ago, before manufacturers had a setting to allow printing past the low cartridge/toner warning, I was peeved because if a color cartridge was low it wouldn’t allow black/grayscale printing, even with a full black cartridge. What really made me mad was that particular manufacturer disab...

I found some good KN95 masks on Amazon that have good bendable nose pieces that greatly reduce the fogging issue. Thanks for this thread because it reminded me to order more. My new dentist gave us some super 3M KN95 masks but we are saving them for the plane trip home )if that ever happens). Meant...

Re: Eyeglasses and masks
I seemed to have some luck if by adjusting the glasses if the lenses were cold, (causing condensation from warm exhaled air), by setting the nosepads on the mask instead of directly on the bridge of the nose. My theory is that this allows more ambient air (lower humidity) to reach the rear of the le...

Seems that, similar to Tom Sawyer, there seems to be active attempts by tfg’s allies to enlist as much help as possible to whitewash their failures (e.g. Jan 6 insurrection)
