    Biden/Trump Tariffs Causing Problems for MISCO Speaker Company

    It's not entirely clear to me why Biden would want to continue Trump's tariffs. The tariffs penalize companies that make products here in the U.S. The tariffs certainly don't make America great again. >>>"Unfortunately, the tariffs have caused us to move manufacturing of some of our products...

    I watched this on Netflix the other day. I've tried to avoid blatant spoilers, but the following might give away some aspects of of the plot. Wiki describes this as a "military science fiction thriller action film." IMBd says: >>>Civil Unrest in the European country of Moldova has US forces...

    Black Crab

    I hate to give movies really negative reviews, but Black Crab made me Crabby (but not enough to keep me awake). The following review of Black Crab does have some spoilers (but I didn't watch it to the end, so I don't know what happens). First, some quick background on the completely subjective...

    Is Fixing a Marantz SR6006 Worth it?

    I have a Marantz SR6006 that's been gathering dust for several years. As I recall, it had video problems but I don't remember exactly what the problem was. I don't have any use for it, but I doubt it's worth anything unless I get the video fixed. I'm not motivated enough to attempt fixing it...

    The New "Free Speech" on Twitter

    Twitter is not the government so the First Amendment does not apply to its censorship decisions. Having said that, Elon Musk's ideas about what constitues "free speech" on Twitter strike me as rather arbitrary. https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-bans-journalists-twitter-reinstating-nazis-1849901795...

    Oath Keepers founder guilty of seditious conspiracy for January 6 involvement

    Mods: Feel free to delete this thread if it's too similar to the old (closed) January 6 thread. It appears to me that Rhodes avoided going into the U.S. Capital in an effort to avoid criminal charges. Thus, the DOJ indicted him on seditious conspiracy, even though this can be difficult to...
