I want to record a series of interviews many hours worth. And perhaps post the content later. What sort of recording device is used in these digital days?

In an era of sensationalism and clickbait headlines, the media’s portrayal of all hot weather as a sign of end times adopts an apocalyptic tone. Each scorching summer is touted as further evidence of an impending climate catastrophe with little room for nuance or objective analysis. Lost in the hyperbole is the inconvenient truth that cold weather actually poses a far greater threat to human life than heat waves do. In other words, no, we’re not all going to burn up this summer — and in fact, more of us might survive next winter. Contrary to popular media efforts to...

Ok...I'm a retired IT guy and really puzzled why I can't figure this out. I have a Samsung Galaxy 22 Android phone. Up till a week ago FR was perfectly readable. One day it suddenly made the type very small like a desktop only website. I also have a small Samsung tablet. FR still looks fine on it. I have looked at FR settings and Chrome browser settings and can't find anything that will fix it. I did just try Firefox on my phone and it looks fine, so obviously this appears to be a Chrome setting problem, but I...

Tragic video shows dying Cash App founder Bob Lee was ignored by bystanders as he begged for help after being stabbed in San Francisco early Tuesday. Before succumbing to his injuries, the 43-year-old chief product officer of MobileCoin walked up to a parked car that had its hazard flashers on to try to get help, according to surveillance footage obtained by the San Francisco Standard. Footage showed Lee lifted his shirt to show the driver his two stab wounds — but collapsed to the ground as the car drove off. Lee called 911 at 2:34 a.m. and pleaded for help,...

Before I make a rash decision to seek psychotherapy for the frustration tsunami that floods my mind when I watch Karine Jean-Pierre evade press questions, I thought I'd suggest a solution that is a "sign" of the times. KJP can be effectively replaced by five signs that light up during press questions: 1) Refer to the WH Council. 2) Refer to the DOJ. 3) No comment. 4) The president has been very clear. 5) It was point of mind. Yes! Just place them around the WH Press Room lectern and KJP can just sit at home with her laptop and...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is providing $125 million for electrical parts and other supplies to help repair crews in Ukraine keep up with Russian strikes pounding the country’s electrical system, the U.S. international development aid chief said Wednesday.The U.S. Agency for International Development plans to use the money to procure backup power for Kyiv’s water and district-heating systems.

But our association is powerful enough to implement such a task as well.”

The COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech was 100 percent effective in adolescents aged 12 to 15 in a phase 3 study, the companies announced. "The initial results we have seen in the adolescent studies suggest that children are particularly well protected by vaccination, which is very encouraging given the trends we have seen in recent weeks regarding the spread of the B.1.1.7 UK variant," BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin said.

CORRECTION: Ukraine has not yet received the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS). A previous version of this story contained incorrect information on the delivery of the system due to errors in the CBS transcript of its interview with Zelensky. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is thanking the United States for the advanced air defense systems it has sent to his country to aid in its war with Russia, but he also is pressing for more, according to an interview aired Sunday. Zelensky on CBS’s “Face the Nation” thanked Washington for the shipments of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and other...

I've only been here since 2010, so am still a pup. However, with that being said. I am so great-full for finding this online forum, what a group of people. I've reached out and helped fellow freepers across the country and have received the same help in return. Despite our not always agreeing on everything politically. May God bless all of you! foundedonpurpose

I have had a great life, yet the bottle keeps getting me. Very sad. I am just a man, Is there room on FR for a support group? Would this be a private group or open to the public. My guess, would be privet invite only, we have enough trolls as it is. Jim I would love your thoughts on this. Thanks! Founded

Hello FRers. Please pray for my husband today. Suddenly a health issue seems to have appeared and he is alone (sort of) far away. Nurse friend said he needed to go to ER, so he is going. She is concerned over even heart attack, but also some concern over spleen or kidney.

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” said he did not need former President Donald Trump’s help in his reelection campaign. Anchor Dana Bash said, “I want you to listen to what former President Donald Trump said about the people who stormed the Capitol on January 6.”

There is one conspiracy theory that is true. The government, media, corporations etc brainwash people to celebrate Halloween (66 percent of Americans each year), to wear Nike sneakers, to have Facebook accounts, to have Instagram accounts, to have Twitter accounts, to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day (both pagan holidays God is our true father, we should honor our parents 365) I want to get Halloween abolished. It's a pagan holiday that is against Christ. It's offensive even to Penn Jillette who is an Atheist. I want FReepers to help me get Halloween banned throughout the US .Liberals love Halloween,...
