    I thought what happened to his victims was cruel and unusual.

    Fake news and the masses

    In the late 90s if you were a COBOL programmer you could name your price. Thousands of lines of code were changed in ancient systems in languates that most new programmers had never learned. I think the media overblew it and it probably wouldn't have affected the general public but there was a...

    Fake news and the masses

    What the media missed in 1999/2000 is that from the mid-90s onwards people were updating their computer software to add those 2 bytes or to add interpretive logic for 2 bytes so the system would not crash on 2000/01/01. By the time Y2K came about, the story was done.

    That's NOT all, Folks! Trump's going to get 4 more years

    4 years is a long time. The Rs will have it easier since it is always harder to win as an incumbent. But as for Trump, he will likely have a stiff fight through the R primaries again. If he makes it that is effectively 2 incumbents.

    CFL 2021

    The NFL ran with no exhibition games this year. They had a lot more injuries than normal as the players were not in 'game condition' in the first 4 weeks. Seems to have stabilized now the season has progressed.

    Colin Kaepernick calls for release of former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, convicted of killing a Philadelphia cop

    I am all for re-examining the evidence and IF found faulty, have a new trial. But not having enough black jurors is not a reason for release or fault of the first jury.

    Trump is going to LOSE!!!

    Actually 2024 is wide open for any Republican. If Trump somehow wins, he is done having completed his 2 terms. If he doesn't, he can run again in 2024 if he chooses but he would face a whole bunch of challengers.

    Heinz will start making ketchup in Canada again

    My brother-in-law had us bring down Canadian Heinz ketchup from Canada to the States. He had a little distribution network of people who preferred the Canadian sugars. I never noticed the difference myself in Ketchup (I can in Coke -- I bring my own down for me lol) of the Canadian vs American...

    It's Official: Solar Is the Cheapest Electricity in History

    I think solar works to supplement power. I have seen it on roofs (otherwise not used for anything) and no doubt the effect is reduced use of power from the grid for that building. I think it can also be used to suppliment peak power on the grid but it will never replace workhorse power like...

    Anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers file $11M lawsuit against Trudeau

    I always look at the reasons behind and evaluate if it is reasonable before I decide to 'push back'. I don't just 'push back' because the direction came from the government.

    Anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers file $11M lawsuit against Trudeau

    I am guilty of only reading the article's title. But I doubt they stand a chance of winning.

    Searching for the father

    Her father would have had to have submitted his dna to ancestry. Most Canadians do not have their DNA on file anywhere.

    Anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers file $11M lawsuit against Trudeau

    It will be a cold day in hell before I side with anti-vaxers on anything.

    No Joe should never pardon Trump.

    That is sort of the cart before the horse. No charges have even been laid.
