@amerika @PNS For the majority of people, yes.But a 401k doesn't really help the disabled or survivors. Social Security was supposed to be a safety net.

@stsmith01 I felt like that cleaning the car after the Broncos watch party today. Didn't need the shovel or ice scraper with light fluffy snow but coming down a bit hard & plenty of wind and cold.It would have been brutal at the stadium for hours - was nice and warm inside.

One tech storyhttps://reason.com/2026/01/26/is-your-wi-fi-router-a-national-security-threat/About TP-Link routers and how they have been hacked by Chinese groups. Suggestions that they will be banned in the US.I've used TP-Link in the past but stopped due to lack of security upgrades a couple years after purchase. That makes it a risk to me. Not mentioned in the story - perhaps why the gear is being hacked.Currently using Netgear - seems to be kept up to date (so far).

The "Midwestern Doctor" writes about deathhttps://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-medicalization-of-death-and-howLOTS of good stuff here. After the introduction, looks at how Scott Adams was treated (more later too). Plus 78yo "Jack" who had explicit do not resuscitate instructions and still got put on "life saving" equipment until she showed up.Other good bits here as well.

From the "Brownstone Institute"https://brownstone.org/articles/insect-loss-as-an-early-warning-of-systemic-biological-failure/Suggesting the use of insect populations as a proxy for determining when the environment is out of whack. Yeah, it MIGHT be climate change but more likely a variety of other issues that should really be addressed.

From "bad cattitude"https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/follow-the-money-not-the-mediaMostly about the situation in MN and the guy who brought a gun to a protest, got feisty, and got shot. FAFO.But be sure to scroll down to the bit about getting pulled over for speeding and how to talk to the cop when you have a gun nearby. A common sense kind of method.Also talks a bit about framing by the leftists but it would be better if it offered better framing to fight back.
