To be clear they are making some noise about how Utah's book banning laws should be expanded to include mini free "take a book/leave a book" libraries set up on private property. There is no way a law like that would be upheld in court.

Explain this to me, do they write letters to people who have opted in, or do they just target people based on publicly available information? Cause if I lived in a swing state and started getting random letters from people trying to convince me to vote one way or the other I'd probably vote the other direction just to spite them. I already get too much election spam letters because election mailings are exempt from the spam laws.

Was invited out on a Friday to celebrate my bosses birthday early since she would be out of town on her actual birthday a week later. That Friday was my actual birthday. My boss had made a point to do something for every one of her employees birthdays, so I assumed this was a ploy to get me out for my birthday. Nope.

I mean, they sell them at Costco, I'd hardly call that unknown. They're less common because most people just don't need them.

I'm not sure why you think "being on the fence is an interesting position to take", I'm glad there are people out there who have the skills to look at the code and see if it's doing what people claim it is doing or not, I am not one of them. I just want a browser that doesn't treat me like a piggy bank and less ads. I don't know the developers reputation and simply asked for more knowledgeable people to chime in, sorry if that's a problem for you.

Mozilla says the addon has problems, the developer says it doesn't. Are there any 3rd parties that can weigh in on this?

It doesn't, it's a perception bias caused by a few different things like others here have mentioned, but also freshly grown hair tends to be thicker, then tapers off as it grows, so it SEEMS thicker.

They beat me to it, HamStudy was the one I used.

Yeah that's the one I used. They also sell great antennas to fund the app/promoting ham radio usage. https://signalstuff.com/

To go along with all the people mentioning the need for a license for ham radio: there is a study app with literally all the questions that might be on the test and it's all multiple choice. Just keep answering the questions till you remember enough of em.

I miss Crystal Coke.

Oh God right in the nostalgia. I need to start playing Project 1999 again...

This story is all over the news, multiple shooters using fully automatic weapons in a suspected assassination? Yeah that'll draw some eyeballs.

"One ruler to rule them" is a bit repetitive but I'll allow it.

Call me pisher but I'm not sure I'm on board with fighting terrorism with more terrorism.

My wife.

The only part of your biased, self-serving spin on everything I said which I agree with is the part where you said you are not deserving to be a mod.

That conveniently ignores what the actual issue was, since if Beaver had replied to the request to discuss those actions with the other mods we wouldn't be having this discussion. Not consulting with other mods before making COMMUNITY decisions was, to my mind, the main reason for being demoded.

Well I'm not a mod and I didn't demod you, but from my opinion of how it played out A, you immediately jumped to Beavers defense and said you didn't have a problem banning people for downvoting, B, immediately tried to downplay them not responding to the mod request to discuss that action, C, based on how you're responding here sound completely unfit to be a mod which should require a certain level of maturity, and of course D the possibility that you're an alt.
