They should. Calculators have no place in school.

I agree, my iphone13 is a well built phone, Apple makes great hardware, too bad iOS sucks, it is locked down with no custom launcher alternatives, no sideloading any FOSS software and the Apple Store is just awful and I always dread opening it to look for anything, I don't even use my iphone much anymore except for a hotspot to get internet on my android and it is getting old but I am hanging on to this old android waiting for Motorola to make it to market with a new GrapheneOS phone

RE:"strongly implies that the Good Guys need to do war crimes before the Bad Guys get around to it."

murdering lots of innocents to kill a few bad guys is NOT justifiable, that makes you the bad guys too, that's how I see the current Iran war, it's not good guys vs bad guys, it is more like two gangs of criminals fighting over territory and resources

Oh yeah? You just watch me continue to criticize the government in the harshest way I can

I quit voting after 9/11/2001

this nation is too screwed up for elections to fix it

The government is the top of the food chain they are not accountable to ANYBODY, they can do what they want to anyone at any time, the laws and government regulations they profess is just lip service to keep the sheep from panicking.

The USA started out as a federal republic but has since degenerated into a kleprocratic neo-feudalist banana-republic run by a criminal mafia oligarchy

While I don't like the idea of being snooped on by big brother too, the technology can exonerate the innocent that were accused of a crime as well as implicate the guilty

Canned food won't last 10 years and surely not 50

*That* depends on the movie. Some movies NEED to be long, others need to be cut. But making each movie the same length is a really bad idea. (E.g. I saw a version of War and Peace that was so long it ran in two days. It didn't need to be cut, but the break was necessary.)

I remember Motorola when they sold commercial and public service two-way radios for cars & trucks, I guess they still do I have not kept up on that end

Motorola is going to sell a smartphone with GrapheneOS that will take google's digital umbilical cord out of your phone so the google fanboys in India organized a shitposting campaign.
I will buy one as ASAP when they are released

The real problem is "connected", not un-encrypted.

It is a game as old as civilization- embrace extend extinguish

Opinions of native Americans on this film, I know the history of white European settlers here was pretty brutal at times, I recently camped at the Black Kettle grassland in Oklahoma and it was where General Custer murdered an entire tribe of Cheyenne indians including the women & children, I guess karma caught up with Custer at Little Bighorn

Secretary of War is a more accurate description. I agree that legally it's Secretary of Defense, but that has always been a misnomer.
