What are your thoughts on Medium.com?
  • I am on medium to follow one person, ecause I hate using the Reddit app, which is the other way to read them. I have tried reading other stories, but always hit a paywall. So I think it’s pointless, just my two bits.

  • Do you ever use the Internet Archive for anything?
  • Often, to read non-paywalled articles.

  • What is a product that didn't live up to its advertised claims?
  • Actually, Kirby vacuums worked amazingly well and worked for years, if not decades. But they weighed a ton and could NOT handle pet hair.

  • What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows?
  • Not on youtube, download PlutoTV app. Paramount’s old stuff, including game shows, Star Trek, Twilight Zone, lots of ‘60s and ‘70s shows, plus some documentary and DIY shows. All free and really easy to waste LOTS of time watching!

  • A former US surgeon general says he went to the ER for dehydration and ended up with a $5,000 bill. He called the healthcare system 'broken.'
  • This isn’t news, it just underscores how out-of-touch some demographics are to what most of us deal with.

  • “Sign Appreciation Society”: Here’s A Facebook Group That Shares Signs Worth Seeing (74 Pics)
  • Can I see it without going to bored panda, who makes me turn off Adblock?

  • When a human says Whoops | HFY | A short Sci-Fi Story
  • That would have been just as funny if I had just read it, as opposed to watching commercials on you-tube.

  • How do I get property buyers to stop harassing me?
  • Report them to the state attorney general

  • What's the worst ad you've ever seen?
  • Any ad that runs on youtube. Literally. All of them. You have paid for the privilege of ruining my enjoyment of whatever I was trying to see. Eff you and the product you rode in on.

  • What’s Inside This Crater in Madagascar?
  • That was fascinating!

  • If Trump loses in 2024, do you think he'd run in 2028?
  • Hard to run from jail (please)

  • Georgia's stolen children: Twins sold at birth reunited by TikTok video - BBC News
  • Yeah, I knew that but I still wasn’t sure until the third mention, when I went back and started over with the correct mindset. My other comment is that this really isn’t uplifting news, it actually awful, even though these girls found each other.

  • How do you cope with the state of the world today?
  • Part of it is the mantra “out of my control, out of my concern.” Or “not my circus, not my monkeys.” That doesn’t mean I don’t care. It means I do what I can do, and try not to despair about what I can’t change.

  • Which Shows Got Their Finale Right, and Which Didn't? A Statistical Analysis
  • Using DuckDuckGo, and scrolling behind the sign-up pop-up, I was able to read the story, and even the author admits that his statistical analysis didn’t seem to always match the internet chatter. It was mildly interesting.

  • TIL about Muppet, Vulcan and Chicken Claws - different ways to hold chopsticks
  • As a Trekkie, I am very pleased to learn I use the “Vulcan” grip.

  • Texans (or neighbours), how was the cold spell?
  • The Texas cities one democrat, but the rural areas go stupid. So we elect stupid. Keep trying, though.

  • What's your favorite iPhone case?
  • After spending so much on a new iPhone, I went ahead and splurged on a Live-edge case from carved back in September 2021. The case is beautiful, thin, and has aged delightfully. Customer service is excellent as well. Not cheap but totally worth it.

  • Top sci-fi films of 2023 - trailer compilation
  • Thank you for this, and WTF? I haven’t even heard of most of these.
