In what universe have corruption and lying not been rampant in "the west" over the last hundred years? Did you just pull this comment out of a book titled "Red Scare Propaganda?"

Also I'm willing to bet really good money that if a nun wore a habit to a beach, she wouldn't get fined. A muslim woman wearing a burkini would though.

The FCC is still to my knowledge taking public comments about data caps:

May be worth people here commenting about how they are ridiculous

If it's any consolation trex was an animal accustomed to hunting truck sized triceratops, eating you would be like eating a single potato chip; very unsatisfying.

We can infer a lot from the size and position of its eye sockets. The eyes were position so as to be forward facing, not side facing like an herbivores.

This article has a really good pocture in it showing you a direct view of the eye sockets from the snout. Its cheekbones and nostrils are designed so that it's visual field easily would clear them, giving it binocular vision like ours. The study that article discusses used fossils to model what dinosaur faces would have looked like, then examined their visual field. The trex had around a 55 degree binocular range, which is larger than many predatory birds that we know to have excellent vision over long distances. It's eyes were also gigantic, allowing for a lot of light to get in.

As for sense of smell, I don't know how we know about it; I think we assume it did because it's nostrils were also huge, and because most animals today have good senses of smell, meaning it's a good adaptation to have and likely would be present on the largest land predator to ever exist.

It's such a potent example of why we need antitrust laws to actually be applied to tech companies.

But our government here in the US is both run by geriatric idiots who don't even know how to use a computer let alone regulate one and also is bought out by these companies.

This is a blatant, out in the open anti-competitive action that is suggested in this article and it shouldn't legally be allowed to stand, but our politicians understand so little about how technology works that they'll blindly accept Google telling them that it isn't monopolistic rather than actually try to understand it.

Lots of classic rock. Billy Joel, led zeppelin, etc.

But lately I've been on a classical music kick.

At leat that has a real function. It's annoying, but it's a planned annoyance, and sometimes it really is useful so it's tolerable.

But so many of these LEDs indicate nothing except "this has power," which is readily apparent 99% of the time because it's plugged in and the house has power.

Tbh I think we need laws about them to get this shit to stop.

It's objectively bad for people's health to be surrounded by bright light at night, because it impacts your ability to sleep.
