Alas…the site is getting boring...

@Colt45:

The search engine I use is ixquick.com, now named Start Page. It dubs itself the world�s most private search engine, for what it’s worth, although I think at least it’s images are powered by Google which makes me lose some faith in it.

I don’t use Facebook. I prefer Gab.ai which lacks in workability but makes up for by almost never censoring legal content.

Thanks, Colt.  I will definitely give ixquick.com a look.

Just for the record, Srarboy, when I said “replace” I didn’t mean in an existential sense. I just meant are there replacements that a lone, citizen like myself can turn to? Competition, in other words. I realize no one is going to put Facebook or Google out of business, and I don’t really want to (well, maybe just a little  :-D). Sorry if my initial post caused confusion.

You can actually find all kinds of information from almost any war.  Try their search facilities, its sometimes hit and miss but a search for “the battle of midway” finds all kinds of information.  Under military sytems you can also find historical information:

@ABWorsham:

@cystic:

What a waste of time!!  No classy hot chick would be caught dead with one of you/us gamer-losers . . . well, except for our wives, i guess . . . .

Nice back peddle, ya better be calling your wife a classy, hot chick. hehe. smile

@LT04:

The first dating add I saw was for Russian girls.  I thought well we probably use the word Russia a lot on this site so I let it slide.

The second one I saw was for Japanese girls.  Well I’ll let that slide for the same reason.

The third add I saw was for gay guys.  Some of my wife and I’s closest friends are gay so don’t get me wrong but I thought that was kind of a leap.

Your thoughts,

What, you arn’t looking for a date?  Dang.

Usually about 3 to 4 hours. None if we are outside the wire.

I was up at 3am then (guess why?), and saw Nightline bring a live report about the miners being saved.  Actually, I came in the middle of it, and thought it was an old video of the PA rescue.  A couple was standing there saying that they got a call and rushed over, but couldn’t see the individuals because they needed to be checked.  Nothing specific was being said.  I wondered: is this real?  Could they be dead and they don’t want to break the horrible news?  I was informed the next day that they only found 1 alive, in critical condition.  What is his status?

I hardly think the situation is laughable.  They were intending to give great news about a near disaster, that in actuality turned out to be false.  I would shame them if they rushed HORRIBLE news, which seems to be the standard for most news these days.

@Yanny:

why should Columbus day be a holiday?

Guglielmo Marconi and Amerigo Vespucci don’t have their own holidays. Those of us with any Italian heritage need a National Day of Whoopee!

NO, not WHOOPIE! You filthy minded pervs…

Don’t worry, I will never let my schooling interfere with my education. :wink:
