RE: What Antivirus/Spyware Remover Do You Use?
I was using Avast for many years but a couple months ago there was a Windows Update that forced changes to my settings and so my computer starting running both the Windows antivirus and Avast at the same time. That caused havoc on my system so that...
RE: Mandatory Masks
Here in the US you can compare states of those who have very strict mask mandates and restrictions compared to the states run with more lenience and you won't see huge differences in numbers. It's very interesting because you would think that the states that don't have a lot...
RE: What is your preferred email host?
For the past 7 years of so I've primarily been using Gmail for my email and the reason is that I don't get as much spam as I did on other email sites. Yahoo was my main account for over a decade prior to my switch but the spam was getting to be too...
RE: No Internet! Ohh God. Bored!
We have a generator backup that kicks on automatically when our power goes out but if the cable company is out too then we won't have internet or TV. When that happens I have tons of things I can be doing such as working out, doing crafts, art, singing, playing...
RE: Mandatory Masks
I think that around July people will start burning their masks. In the US we're getting more and more people vaccinated each day and when you take into account the millions who already had the virus we'll be at herd immunity by mid-summer of this year. We also have to...
RE: TV shows or movies turned into books?
Stephen King wrote a book called The Stand in 1978 (reprinted in 1990) and it was turned into a mini series in 1994. The book horrified me in that it made me think about what I would do or not do if I were in those circumstances. The mini series movie...
RE: Do you do anything for yourself when it comes to digital privacy?
It seems these days that every site we visit collects information about us and we have to determine whether we want to allow that to happen in order to use their site. I grew up with people knowing where I live just by...
RE: Shower
I grew up really poor and I remember when I was 7 and my father and uncle were going to install a shower so we could be like the rich people in town. Because of this I HATE taking baths as it reminds me of the time we were so poor. I'm a shower person and I take them in the evening.
RE: Do you drink alcohol?
I don't drink alcohol unless it's consuming that tiny bit of wine at Holy Communion at church. My friends used to peer pressure me into having at least one drink a year and they always looked forward to it but I hated it. Alcohol does NOT give me that good feeling that...
RE: Yearly or Monthly subscriptions
If yearly gives a discount then I'm all for it but why should I give my money to someone a year in advance for them to rack up interest instead of gaining interest myself? So if there is no discount then monthly is the way to go and with some businesses you...
RE: vBulletin
What lawsuit was that?
I loved vbulletin and it gave a good community feel but our host wanted us to upgrade and the next level wasn't very secure so we chose to switch to XenForo for Christianity Haven. I loved all the mods/add ons we had with vbulletin but to try to get that...
RE: What kind of Phone Do You Have?
I own a Google Pixel phone and am surprisingly happy with it. My old phone's battery would die by noon so I needed something that would last a bit longer and my Google phone now lasts more than a day although I force a charge every evening so it doesn't die...
RE: Future of VR Gaming?
I haven't heard of anything VR related in a year because everything is covid, covid, covid! I would love to see more VR games come out but also better VR accessories that could bring you into the environment yet also in a safe way.
Maybe we need a new company to...
RE: Logos yourself or hire someone else?
That's really cheap for logo pricing.
I used to charge $75 when I first started doing logos over 20 years ago! Eventually I went up to $150 and even that was too low and people ended up paying me more because they liked my work.
You get what you pay for...
RE: Anyone heard of the Social Media Platform Ello?
No, I haven't heard of that one. I joined MeWe over the summer because people on my friends list were saying they were leaving Facebook. So far I only have 2 friends who post there on occasion though so it's pretty dead. If it weren't for my...
RE: Pedophiles and Brain Damage
Alabama law states this:
http://[/url]https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/chemical-castration-bill-alabama-sex-offender-pedophile-846689/
I think chemical castration is a reasonable way to control those who cannot control themselves around...
RE: If you could design a new currency, what would it be?
Would you honestly want to carry around that much money though? I mean, even paying for something doesn't always give you a receipt and I would rather go to the bank and get a cashier's check or something where I had a legitimate receipt...
RE: Im just goin to say it
How many Executive Orders is Biden up to now? Is that seriously how his voters want him to run the country? Can you imagine if it had been Trump making that many the hate that would be spewed all over the media?
What really kills me is that I have friends with...
RE: Coronavirus myths go viral in Florida
Some of those myths have turned out to be true we've learned through the science :)
That's the thing about science though, it's not constant and changes once more data comes in. What we know even now in 2021 will change in a few months.
RE: Random poll. Channel 13 or Channel 17?
Channel 17 is the Disney channel where I live so I voted for that LOL
Are you talking about the white noise that comes through on channels that don't have a broadcast? Wasn't that part of the movie Poltergeist in the 80s where the little girl turned...
