Pro: a handful of my state’s absolute worst officials are set to quit their jobs and we get a do-over.
Con: they’re quitting to join the administration and they’ll be way more powerful and everyone else will suffer.
Sorry. I did what I could.

Replace Robert House with El*n and it’s halfway there already.

Forget the rebels, why build the death star(s) in the first place?
It’s easier, faster, and waaaaay more effective to just send a few dozen small ships throughout the galaxy with an extra hyperdrive or two to be ready to blow up any planet with some space junk. Any time. Any place. No centralized base for the rebels to stop.
I appreciate the 30 second heads up of which exact previous scenes will be important in the upcoming episode.
Even if I’ve just binged a bunch, and don’t need a recap of the broader story arc, there may have been a name drop or specific reference that could have been missed.
I know this isn’t what you’re asking, but there are two Mount Olympuses (?!) in the USA.
The one in Washington has a similar prominence to the Greek mountain (2,389 m to 2,353 m).
The one in Utah has a similar peak elevation (2,752 m vs 2,918 m).
Unhinged entry level employee screaming and swearing and threatening the CFO and spit in her coffee mug.
An email went out to the whole company telling us not to let him in the building before he even got back to his desk to be fired. This is a software company, not exactly the type of place that has armed guards, but the (ex-military) information security dude set up in the area packing for a few weeks after that.
There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I’m a single issue voter.
That issue is “never having to experience Trump in any office ever again.”
Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.
In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience, *we need trusted experts in various fields more than ever.
No, they’re not necessarily going to be concentrated only in traditional media, but if I’m looking something up real quick, I’m more likely to trust some random author on a real news site than some random author on social media. Maybe I’d still get wrong information sometimes, but the odds are better.
And as soon as the young spelling pro gets “eye”, throw “ewe” at them.

Most “Q” words are weird to start with, then just adding a bunch of silent vowels at the end doesn’t make it any less so.

The pessimistic view: basically everything you do online can be tracked, sold, and bought by anyone with a few bucks. Poor online security means you have no privacy regardless of browser, while good (or at least “better”) online security is possible with almost any browser.
If your friend is advocating switching browsers, but with no other behavioral changes, that’s just a false sense of security, which may be worse.
To more directly address the question, unless you are a Chinese dissident, “China” having your browsing data isn’t any better or worse that Google or Microsoft or Meta having that same data. Spoiler: for the average user, they already do.
Red/Silver
I can’t draw a horse if I’m looking right at one.
Delayed while the parties tried to make sense of the SCOTUS wrench.
Now set for Sept 18, with one more hearing on Sept 6 for final arguments first:
Small correction since I misread that a bit: The parties are submitting written arguments on whether the conviction should be upheld. The Sept 6 date is when Justice Merchan will rule on those arguments.
That’s going to go on your Permanent Record!!
