Funny. I primarily used Startpage for the last few years, but have had increasing problems with them providing bad/irrelevant results and frequently straight-up blocking my IP or requiring completion of a CAPTCHA before providing results. I switched to DDG, which has been working pretty well, and seems much better to me than it had when trying it a few years ago.

I doubt it's about that. Putin wants a friendly administration in the White House that would reduce/eliminate sanctions, stop supporting Ukraine, and look the other way when Russia grabs more land.

Gaza is one of the areas where Biden is the weakest, and Putin is surely doing everything in his power to make Gaza an issue that loses Biden votes.

It's a sequence of quotes from Fight Club

I mean, I'm pretty sure I couldn't organize an orgy even if I did offer to pay. I'm not a lame ass.

I don't know if I'd say it's "obvious" he was murdered without more details. Yes, it's incredibly likely - probably the most likely cause. That being said, people that appear healthy can and do die suddenly quite regularly - heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, etc. can occur at any age and even with healthy people, often with very little visible advance warning. He'd been poisoned in the past - who knows what damage that may have left. Though I would argue that would still count as murder, even if as a delayed effect.

Still, yeah, he was probably murdered.

Vizio is kindof like Costco's Kirkland brand. They don't actually manufacture anything, they just select high-margin products that they can have contract manufactured cheaply, have some reasonable QC standards applied, and slap their name on the product.

So they're already kindof like Great Value TVs, though clearly held to a higher standard than most Great Value trash usually is.

Do it. I made the switch a few months ago, and it's gone better than I'd expected. Now running Linux Mint on my desktop and laptop. I set my laptop up with dual boot, just so I can easily and natively run Windows apps if needed.

Just think of the downvoters as cops giving you some street justice for your disrespectful use of an emoji!

They like instability. A steadily increasing market may yield reasonable results, but a chaotic market creates lots of buying opportunities on the cheap.

Neglected, reviled, emotionally abused, poorly educated children (which many of these children will be due to the situations they are being born into) will make great little conservative voters.

I get your point, but "most"? I've had 5 male dogs of my own over 40-ish years, and have known or met many, many others and I've never once had my leg humped.
