Best Buy’s ‘deal of the day” is a $300 “neural” hair dryer.

It’s a hair dryer, in case you’re wondering.

The Diversity Tomorrow version of Odiousgambit is an endangered species. My old laptop is so old and so slow I can barely stand it, but I am signed in on it and can't remember my password to sign in elsewhere . Yes, I've tried the "I forgot my password" thing

I think, really, it's one of the things for a website that you have to keep working or you one day will have no members, unless you allow them to start over with a new user name ... yeah, probably I'll do that, surely I can be forgiven under the circumstances.

Just add “Sir” to beginning of your new name.

Is it my imagination (and good luck) or has DT fallen into unmoderated status?

I've been getting away with shit that never would have flown a few years ago.

No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition.

It's just sporadic. Last time Wizard showed up I think 3 people got suspended the same day.

Private messaging here has been down for months and nobody seems to be in a hurry to fix it.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I suspect maybe features were shut down as whatever was going on crashing the site so often was linked to the cause. Just easier to shut every feature off except posting.

They're probably not going to invest much time over here unless they make money on the site. Which is more than they need to do if they're not making anything on it.

Just guessing though.

I do not think that I have ever initiated a Private Message on a forum. I have answered a few but over the last 10 years I doubt that number exceeds 10.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Flower clubs here in Florida sometimes plant wildflowers in the grassy meridians of roads. Seems like a good way to decrease the bee population.
