https://furilabs.com/ may be of interest.

As I understand it, they've made a lot of their own improvements that improve the user experience.

Because of the conduction?

I remember really liking it, when I first saw it, but I was in high school, at the time.

It's a film (like many at the time) that's much more influenced by the impact of 9/11 than Asimov.

You'll probably be entertained though (it's certainly still a competently made film) so I'd say watch it; that way you can know what others are referring to and be in on the cultural zeitgeist.

I don't think they were saying they're Nazis; unfortunately, many people can't recognize the harm a group does if that harm is slow or "off-screen" (like the poverty or civil restrictions most conservative policies inevitably result in).

I think they were just using a conservative group such as the Nazis since it'd be much more obvious to the average person as to why we need to draw a line, with some groups, and cleanly indicate why OP's blanket statement that "everyone should be welcome" can't possibly be true.

There are those who view this offer to share their thoughts and existence as an opportunity to permanently terminate the same of others.

That's kind of the funniest way to not know what it is, though.

Which is galling, in its own right, as it's – by definition – all overtime.

Usually, the brackets include a part of the sentence that wasn't said but the interviewer believes the speaker meant or was implied.

In cases like this, maybe the speaker was speaking quickly (and, so, didn't say the words during the interview) or were dropping implied parts is the sentence (like we all sometimes do when speaking casually; like if I say, "Quick thinking," to someone. It's implied that I was saying, "[That was] quick thinking").

This also gets used often if the interviewee is talking about someone they know personally but we don't so they're usually just using the first name (e.g. "Yeah; me and [General] Howard [Zimmerman] go way back").

Huh; any idea why that, of all things, would slow everything down?

This; it's only 3 months out of the year (well, at least the snow) and I like that there's variety in my year.

Being an adult also means I get to choose when I go out, now, so the cold/snow bothers me even less.

But, like you said, I also live here because I like snow.
