  • I can take it or leave it. I rarely turn it on, and only if its draining slowly. I do not use it purposely for food waste, and honestly don’t know why anyone would.

    I’ve had to clean out some nasty clogged pipes before that handled sink waste. Maybe if everyone saw what kind of lovely buildup accumulates nobody would use these things.

    Edit: nothing like “someone is wrong on the Internet” brings all the boys to the yard. I’ll stand by my statement because I’m the one who personally snaked over 5 gallons of congealed sludge from the waste pipe in my tiny crawlspace. I didn’t live there long enough and use the disposal enough to explain it, and it wouldn’t have happened if there was no disposal to add that much solid matter over the years. So I personally don’t care if I have one or not since I do the maintenance for free, but I’ll continue to question why they’re even a thing.






  • Two letter TLDs are reserved for countries. No gTLDs use a two letter TLD.

    According to the rules set by the org that controls the fate of IO. They can easily change the rules if they wanted. There is a vested interest in not losing IO, and nothing but their own rule to stop them. Who’s to tell them they can’t do whatever they want in this matter?

    Presidential historian Allan Lichtman took aim at CNN’s News Central hosts Monday morning for being “complicit” in Donald Trump’s political rise amid the presumptive Republican nominee’s bid for a second term.

    Lichtman, appearing with hosts John Berman and Sara Sidner, shifted gears during his comments about recent polls between Trump and Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

    He believes Trump’s remarks during last week’s debate should have grabbed more headlines than Biden’s much-discussed struggles.

    “I love you guys in the media, but I have to say, you are complicit in Donald Trump lying and conning his way to the presidency. All of the attention has been on Biden’s faltering debate, but Donald Trump’s debate was vastly worse,” Lichtman said. "It was based entirely on lies. More than 30 significant lies.

    “He threatened our democracy by saying he wouldn’t accept the results of a fair election. That he would seek retribution. Why wasn’t that the headlines? Why wasn’t that the greatest concern from the debate, rather than all of the focus on Joe Biden.”

    In his rebuke of the media’s coverage of Trump, he continued:

    “There’s an old saying, it’s not just the evil people who wreak havoc on the world, it’s the good people who don’t do enough to stop them. And the media right now is complicit in Donald Trump gaslighting his way to the presidency and threatening our democracy,” Lichtman added.
