  • crashing the economy for our own good

    You know what’s a rip off? Deodorant. Like everything else, the amount in the container is shrinking while the cost increases. And the container itself is constructed such that you cannot use all of the product you overpaid for. Oh, well, pretty soon no one except billionaires will be able to afford deodorant anyway. The…

  • spring into hell

    Get rid of this time change. I don’t even care if we pick standard time or daylight savings (which is STUPID and not the one we should pick but whatever). Just pick one and leave it that way. We know it’s dangerous and that people die because of this. Come on, Congress. Give us this…

  • Protecting the Border

    NOAA has been instructed to cease all contact with foreign nationals. The weather does not respect international law or borders, and NOAA needs to put a stop to that. What does the weather someplace that isn’t the US have to do with the US of A? Nothing. Nothing at all. In fact, I’m waiting for…

  • Ask an incomplete question . . .

    Context matters. Don’t waste the time and effort of experts by asking a question without providing the pertinent facts. You won’t get helpful answers AND you will have wasted the time of everyone who responded. Jesus, people.

  • The Problem with Forums

    The problem with groups and communities that serve some topic or subject that include a forum for members is that there is always someone who does not understand when a post should be made to the group and when it needs to privately go to whoever runs the group. Did you try clicking the link…
