Nanoose replied to How would you think the universe would end?:
Yeah don't go back in time because you could inadvertently mess up the future. If you don't believe me just ask Doc from the Back To The Future movie he will tell you how dangerous time travel can be. Cheers!

DannyPetti replied to How would you think the universe would end?:
I probably would really like to go in time travel, but I don't know what's the level of risk to get in to it with!

Spunky replied to Do you think the gov should be allowed to censor the internet and surveil any your computer/phones etc?:
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, routes all of your internet activity through a secure, encrypted connection, which prevents others from seeing what you're doing online and from where you're doing it.

It's working out great for Trump - the longer this goes on, the longer he stays in the spotlight and can use it to raise funds.

SavvyAnsley replied to What's the highest floor you have ever lived on? How was the view?:
Third. Not a good view - other apartment buildings. (If I'd lived on the roof, the view would have been fantastic!)

I was heard of find one funny thing happened when I went out with them on a (long) vacation someplace.

my2cents replied to Do you think the gov should be allowed to censor the internet and surveil any your computer/phones etc?:
The bill they are trying to pass will not require a warrent. The Restrict Act or the TikTok Ban.

Slartibartfast replied to Do you think the gov should be allowed to censor the internet and surveil any your computer/phones etc?:
Not without a warrant. And censorship doesn't work and never has, which is why the Secretary for Communication should ALWAYS be a young person, maximum age under 40. Older people, especially politicians, generally don't understand what a VPN is.

Slartibartfast replied to Should we risk losing control of our civilization?:
Humanity lost control over its own destiny decades ago. AI is a symptom, not the cause. The wealth gap is an immense factor.

Jane S replied to Should we risk losing control of our civilization?:

Jane S replied to Should we risk losing control of our civilization?:

Nanoose replied to Should we risk losing control of our civilization?:

NYAD replied to Should we risk losing control of our civilization?:
It makes me think if society had been asked, back in the day, "Should we risk introducing automobile transportation into society?" Was there any stopping it? It happened regardless, with all the positive and negative (plenty of negative) aspects involved ... more

Spunky replied to Should we risk losing control of our civilization?:

If you are curious about possible causes and cures sure. If you are suffering from regular migranes, best to go to the Doc and get advice from them.

Yeah, I guess I may get a new one after the next dentist-even that the (plastic) night guard is really quite expensive!

I may try that other suggested solution first

DannyPetti replied to See the dark spot/area on my night guard here?:
I had tried Effordent, is it almost like Polident of what substance in it?And that wouldn't get (any) dark stuff off of my night guard-probably don't know what any of other solution to make & try to see what other solution would work tor that-is it?

The most common cause of migraine is failing to exercise enough care in your choice of parents, it's genetic.

I don't know...maybe the doctor would suggest it.

Nanoose replied to See the dark spot/area on my night guard here?:
Pretty sure a half bleach and half water would be way to strong and probably not healthy. Anyway I was thinking that maybe a Polident Denture Cleanser tablet would clean up that dark spot. Cheers!
