Hi, I just replied to the original comment but no there is no Hawaiian tribe. Many (most?) Hawaiians dont want to be a recognized tribe because they consider themselves a nation within a nation.

Richard Stanton and John Volanthen are the real deal. People should read their wikipedia pages. Also, watching cave diving videos... even on their best day, when they're having a great time, it looks absolutely horrifying. lol

Did anyone else notice that the bottom two windows are not different cameras on different boosters? The guy even told us, "I know they look similar but they're different". Nope, they are the same. Watch how you can see two pa

Yes. This is exactly what is going on. In the same time period described the power dinosaurs (Google autocorrected companies to "dinosaurs" but it kinda fits in more than one way so I'm keeping it) have implemented polices to

Lets play a game. How much would you have to be paid to drive a Chevy Bolt? I would probably do it for 50% of the cost of the thing.

So many people take FLOSS for granted- especially in a place like this where most people are just trying to figure out how to get equity in the next pied piper. The bottom line is that everyone's life is better because of FLOSS. So man
