“Let’s stop halfway through our multi-year project to rewrite it in another language” is peak nerd shiny distraction. I say this as one who resists the urge every day. Way to delay your project by several more years, clown.

How do you wake up a 7AM? Do you have to whisper into its ear “eight nine” and it gets hungry and jumps out of bed?

I could never have the opposite politics of my spouse. Sure, we may disagree slightly on some matters an nuance, but a world view in direct conflict with mine would be irreconcilable.

You may disagree, but the intent and practice of NPR has always been to remain impartial as a news source. The lack of a profit motive encourages this, whereas other media organizations rely on catering to their desired audience. Maybe you don’t like what you hear there, but consider the motivation of any news org before judging it.

As far as the propaganda aimed at other countries, I can’t speak to it as I’m ignorant in this area.

Maybe start rolling out straight-up subsidies? That would open up local newspapers to government censorship

The Corporation For Public Broadcasting (RIP) did a good job of helping NPR, PBS, etc stay impartial and relevant.

“Active” on Home, when I run out of stuff, “Hot” on Home. If I get really desperate, “Hot” on All.

Oh trust me I know. They make big promises, and sell these devices dirt cheap to state education systems, and frame it as an altruistic, benevolent act. Meanwhile you can’t install any other software on them and it’s entirely locked into using google’s “education” software

Lots of school districts are beginning to ban phones. The one I live in has, and it’s had great results.

 

Let's cut the bullshit

 

What we have called “motorcycles” should actually be called “enginecycles”. Also, the engine on enginecycles is a four-cycle engine.

What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

 
 

Cool, yeah they lied. Now where’s my money back?

Like, I’ve started projects that I waaaay underestimated. Maybe those druids were like “ok, yeah, we’re done here, let’s take the ‘L’” and moved on to something more practical.
