    Crime is out of control in Texas! What a lawless wasteland the pedophile party has made.

    This is the third firearms-related outage problem Spectrum has had in the last 12 months.

    Texas, which will feel the warming more than other areas of the USA, is strongly religious, Republican, and needs to be isolated for everyone’s protection

    I thought “stray bullet” meant it didn’t hit what was aimed at and just strayed off. This seems pretty deliberate. And for anyone who doesn’t feel like reading the article, it’s not happening in just Texas.

      I read the article, but I don’t think it’s deliberate at all. There are 150M guns in the US, and lots of gun owners are morons. Episodically targeting Ohio, Texas, and California doesn’t seem like it would do much to benefit anyone.

    The comments section here reads like a coping session for spoiled children who didn’t get what they wanted. Came here for Linux, leaving with questions.
