Nevertheless, it will be entertaining to watch the left wordsmith regarding it being bad now, but good when it was happening to Trump.  :laugh:

Absolutely.  I've read a few of these comparisons already.  More double standards than grains of sand in your sandbox.

The Roundtable / Help! My Windows Are Melting My Grass!

Actually they're not melting my grass, but I ran into this on reddit, and did not know it was a thing that energy efficient windows, when reflecting the sun, can melt artificial turf, ruin car paint, and melt vinyl siding. It was of interest to me because this time of year, when I take the dog out for pre-bedtime business, the setting sun is directly in line with my office window, with the back patio in between. When I walk through that line, heat hits my head and it feels like I'm an ant under a magnifying glass.

I did not know this was common and that there are films specifically designed to stop it, which I am now considering putting on that window.

Biden will get on the Ohio ballot via the courts.  Just have to find a couple of Biden-friendly judges.  Not hard to do.

The Roundtable / Bing is Down

This is interesting. I was trying a search on duckduckgo and kept getting "website down" errors (and still am). I just now saw on the news that Bing is down, and apparently several search engines, including DDG, rely on Bing, so several other search engines are down as well.

I don't know much about search engine backbones, but I always thought DDG and similar "independent" search engines were completely self-contained. I'm just curious about the privacy implications of a "privacy" search engine using Bing (or maybe Google too) as their backbone.
