From Motherjones

While no school district has announced plans to show any of PragerU’s videos, NPR reports, there’s nothing to stop teachers from independently airing the material. As a Florida Department of Education spokesperson said in a statement, the material aligns with Florida’s revised civics and government standards.

There's zero evidence God is real. Might as well say "we can't say with 100% certainty Harry Potter isn't real. In the story the wizards all hide from muggles."

Most of humanity legitmatly believed in some kind of god for most of history. It didn't stop people from screwing each other over.

The film Chinatown was originally supposed to be part of a trilogy of corruption in early Los Angeles. Chinatown was about water, The Two Jakes was about oil, and a third film about transportation that was never produced.

While the third film was never fully realized, Robert Zemeckis used the idea as inspiration for Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. Rodger Rabbit is a neo-noir set in early LA, at one point Bob Hodkins says something along the lines of "Don't you know LA has the best public transit in the world!"

Its North of Canada, those Journey assholes need to look at a map.

Yeah I've ran into this problem a few times now. I use my Occulus Quest on my PC and it needs USB 3.2 cables. The meta branded ones are crazy expensive but I found a third party one for fairly cheap.

I just got a Pixel 7 Pro and it needs a special powerblock to rapid charge. My Samsung block from my S10+ didn't meet the requirements, I had to go back to the Essential Phones included charger. The USB-C port on my PC's case is at normal speeds, but the port on the mono charges rapidly.

FYI it was newer by 2 years. I don't think anyone is complaining about the performance of lightning over USB C, its that people want things to be standardized like everything non-apple is. Apple could have contributed to the USB C research and made a better cable that's available to everyone, like IBM with the original USB or Phillips with HDMI.

Root access is pretty easy to get. People don't reccomend it much anymore but I've had zero issues on a Pixel 7 aside that I can't use the phone's tap and pay feature. Bus passes and plane tickets still work.

Probably not what you meant, but you can buy a Nexus 5x on eBay for $200 and flash Ubuntu's mobile is to it.

Baby powder has way less asbestos in it now than it did back in the 50's.

Bose pretty much wrote the book on noise cancelation. They introduced the first commercially available noise cancelling aviation headphones in 1989.
