You added icons and functionality to go to the beginning or end of search/inbox - Something that gmail just has never budged on having and always annoyed me! One of the first things I noticed. I must not be alone on this lol

Thank you! The night before launching the original Jmail we had this hunch that jump-straight-to-end and "random page" would make the site work for people.

Both political far sides are rocking the boat, not just rights even tho they are in power. It's both of them together and the dysfunction of their inability to compromise or reason on anything. Moderates or centrist voters in the USA have no representation and haven't for some time.

Frankly, bullshit. The center is ruling the democratic party, actively suppressing left and frequently tacitly enabling the far right. Meanwhile, left barely does anything. They are not rocking the boat, they are powerless.

Both Obama and Biden were center choice. The whole democratic party is ruled by centrist politicians and ideology which is why they cant oppose the increasingly radical republicans all that effectively.


>"Meanwhile, left barely does anything. They are not rocking the boat, they are powerless."<

The left's judicial branch is very active: they sue every chance they get. And since they've diligently packed the court systems for decades, and since population centers that are predominantly Democratic are usually the locations for filing significant legal issues, i.e., they have left-leaning populations, therefore left-leaning juries and leftist judges, they usually get what they sue for.

Maybe someday we'll be able to look at Epstein's mail or Clinton's e-mails even.


What are you talking about here. It was right wing who packed the courts - to the point the bias is blatant and obvious. They are not even trying to pretend they are impartial.

The "every accusation is an admission" thing is truly right with right wingers like you.

> Maybe someday we'll be able to look at Epstein's mail or Clinton's e-mails even.

Who was blocking the release? Trump. Trump was blocking the release.


No representation, huh? Is that why Obama was in office for two terms and Biden was in for one?

I wonder this too, eventually robots will pick apart the landfills once there is technology to deal with it. Tons of metal goes into landfills that could go to scrap yards, etc Altho when they cap off landfills they become a ski resort or a subvision.

Is that form of plastic reuse really all that great? Perhaps new plastic doesn't need to get produced. But it's still plastic and it's still going to just shed microplastics everywhere and eventually end up in a landfill.

It could otherwise be reused? A lot of glass containers come with a deposit and then are reused once returned. This happens with some glass milk containers (exactly why I dont know). If container shape and size became somewhat standardized this could work better. Glass can be reused while not shedding microplastic everywhere in the process.

It is a free for all in USA, sometimes the trash truck comes down and grabs both recycling bins and trash bins and just dumps all into the same truck. No one cares, customer or trash service company. Many facilities dont sort if sorting becomes too much work they just toss what was picked up as reycling into the trash. Walk inside any warehouse type facility in America and they throw anything and everything into the trash that has lost its utility for the business. Working inside an order fulfillment warehouse opened my eyes to how much waste is created just to pack and ship everyones cheap single use junk. Bottle deposits haven't been adjusted for inflation in decades, no one even talks about it. States that dont have deposit laws people just litter aluminim cans everywhere. When there are bottle deposit laws they have exceptions like no deposit required for aluminum can if its contents are not carbonated. Why should that matter? Most people toss their food waste into the trash, effectively no one bothers with the effort to return nutrients back into the earth. Why do that when we can just pointlessly haul it away in a fuel burning truck and seal it away with toxic everyday garbage. The people who actually care about re-use and or reducing waste are tiny vocal minority compared to everyone else. When I walk into a grocery story filled with 100+ shoppers I am always the only person using reusable, non-plastic bags. I also laugh when if you don't use plastic bags, they slap plastic stickers on your items thanking you for not using plastic bags LOL. I know other countries are worse with pollution but gosh. Sounds nice in Zurich if there's actually people that care.

The recycling fantasy and forever increasing plastic production go hand in hand together.

This. I support recycling, but it is an absolute wasted endeavor so long as we continue to produce and dump plastic. No amount of recycling can hold a candle to the damage being done by the inability to recycle plastic, the insane production of new plastic, and the disposable of all of that plastic.

Until we learn to do something with the plastic, recycling is just a pipe dream to make people feel better.


I think the only thing the bots will do in response is relentlessly pound both endpoints instead of just one.

This is the coolest thing Ive seen in a long time. I wonder if we could use this to train squirrels to not get hit by cars.


That might be easier than training people to slow down and take caution when driving.

It absolutely would be easier

I think there would be more money saved by making sure deer don't get hit by cars...


Such technology already exists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_crossing


Im talking about squirrels and modern suburbia. That's a protected crossing

It's not about the money, it's about the squirrels!


I do not tolerate vitamin d supplements, they make me sick. Im actually switching to eating salmon and other fish in winter + getting the sperti vitamin d lamp.


It's generally much easier and cheaper to just go to a tanning bed once a week, than buy your own Sperti "mini tanning bed". A full-size tanning bed will be much more even across your skin. Unless there are no tanning salons in your area.


They sell two different products one is for tanning, one is for vitamin d. I dont now if the total cost is cheaper (i dont think it is) but certainly seems a lot easier to have the lamp in my own home and not go anywhere for it.


I'm the same and I tolerate vegan D3 (from lichen). Some people are sensitive to the sheep-wool derived regular D3.


I will give it a try thanks for the suggestion
