And probably has working nukes.

Could be either, if there was other music playing first…

No.

I’m pointing out that in the absolutely most trumpy state in the union, trump still didn’t get a majority of the possible to votes. Republicans can still lose in the state the dominate the most, same goes for Democrats. If you stand around with your thumb up your ass, your head in the sand hold your vote, then you’re really just voting for the worst possible outcome.

This is fundamentally incorrect.

West Virginia for example, almost 70% of the votes went to trump. 533,556 people to be exact. In 2024, they had 1,189,961 registered voters… Do the math, there were 656,405 people that didn’t vote for trump. Even in the reddest state in the union (by percentage of votes) trump can still lose if the people who didn’t vote for him decide to vote against him.

You fucking say “it doesn’t matter unless you’re in a swing state” and I say “The only way your vote doesn’t matter is if you don’t fucking vote.”

There are votes this year that can flip Congress. It’s happening now. Primaries are now. Go fucking vote for fucks sake.

Update : the numbers are in, and at this time, 3 out of 8 people apparently don’t understand basic arithmetic.

Another update : 5 out of 11. The ratio keeps getting worse. I weep for our teachers.

As long as you don’t jump on AAA title games on launch day, you’ll be fine gaming on Linux.

That, or if you are a fortnite, LoL addict… Those don’t work for reasons totally up to the devs.

Mocking up whole websites seems like a pain. With a Pihole, you can create different service groups for computers and apply a whitelist to just their machines. Plus you get adblocking too!

Long story short, logistics benefits from scale. The cost to ship a pallet of poptarts to a store is roughly the same as shipping half a pallet. Smaller stores can’t really undercut larger corporations because they don’t have the scale.

Also when your mom and pop store doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they go under. When a Walmart doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they stay open because they have those loses spread across hundreds of other Walmarts.

Thanks for checking, fuckwit.

It’s the implementation part of ending net neutrality, the legal framework was put in during Trump’s last administration. Goal is to make your home network entirely managed and visible to your ISP, who has huge incentives (financial and otherwise) to comply with government requests for information and censorship.

Shift + F10 and running OOBE\BYPASSNRO still worked for me last month. Depends on what update of Win 11 is on the system (I think up to 24H2 is fine).

Otherwise, I’ve had success doing Shift+F10 and running ipconfig /release to break the network connection at the sign in screen.

looks at a solar panels

Yep, magic right there.

Sees nuclear power plants

What sorcery is this?!

Observes EVs, heat pumps, biofuels…

Mysteries beyond the comprehension of man!

It’s more than just the hardware.

They screwed up by finally forcing everyone onto an objectively shitty OS. Every other time MSlop has dropped support for an OS, they’ve had at least two others to choose from, and one of them was passable.

They screwed up by letting AI vibe code updates, which were then vibe tested and vibe deployed. The last 3 “patch Tuesdays” have been absolute nightmares of system breaking bugs.

They screwed up by sloppily forcing AI in to every aspect of their OS, and then (allegedly) bragging about how the next one is just going to be an AI.

They screwed up by not recognizing that AI is not popular among the common user. There are like 3 people at my workplace who actually use it, and the main thing they use it for is to add fluff to a chat message to turn it into an email.

They screwed up by putting a “line go up” business moron in charge of the company, who then put more “line go up” business morons in charge of the projects and departments. It’s no wonder that the new outlook sucks and is not fully featured, despite being the “default” outlook for years. It’s no wonder new teams is buggy, inconsistent, bloated, and always changing for the worse. It’s no wonder why all the perfectly functional menus and features of 10 have been hidden by slick and useless facsimiles in 11, while confusing and clunky elements of Win95 still lurk in the shadows.

If Microsoft wants to get back on top, they need new leadership. An apology changes nothing, action does. The current man in charge and his posse of yes-men flat out lack the character and understanding to make a good product that people and businesses want to use. They’ve been coasting on the momentum of being the top dog for 30 years, but that source of market force is not infinite.

Jokes aside. You can build you own solar charging station for a few grand.

Not a lot of people can build their own oil extraction and refinement system in their backyard.

On the flip side, might be a good time for everyone to learn about wood gasifiers.

The one thing you are forgetting… Is that Tesla lobbies the regulatory agencies.

For another comparison, the cyber truck is 17 times more likely to burn you to death than the Ford Pinto, a car that is practically synonymous with fire.

Robot/AI

FDR was dead before the first nuclear test dentonation ever occured…

So I can pretty conclusively say that dropping atomic bombs on Japan was not his response for pearl harbor.

Let them salute, but also include in the ruling that taking a picture of them doing nazi salutes, printing up flyers of it, and sending it to their classmates and professors is free speech. So is setting up a twitter account that spams the photo so it’s the first thing an employer sees when they do a quick Google search of this person.

They should have all the rights in the world to espouse their nazi beliefs, as long as I have the same rights to make sure those beliefs are well known in every aspect of their lives for the foreseeable future.

The way I see it, there are 3 choices.

1. Vote (effectively). If you still have a glimmer of hope that things can be changed for the better, you need to be doing this. Job one is to keep republicans out of power, vote for whomever is going to beat them. Job 2 is to push Democrats further left in the primaries. Mamdani showed us that this can happen, reluctantly at first, but the party will respond to its voters. Key word there is “voters” if you don’t vote, they don’t know about you, and won’t give a fuck about you.

2. Disruption. I can’t in good faith call for violence, but if you genuinely believe it is impossible to fix the system by voting, you need to be in the streets disrupting day to day operation of the system that oppresses you. Protest, strike, squat, whatever you gotta do, but you can’t do it halfway. If you aren’t literally ready to fight for your life then, this option isn’t for you.

3. Do nothing. You can just sit around and bitch about things. Whatever happens is (almost) equally your fault as it is the people who voted for it. You’ll end up against the wall just like the other two groups, but it will take the nazis you left the door open for, a little bit longer to get around to you. I’ve got no respect for the people in this group, no one should TBH.

More than 5000, yes. Marines? Not so sure.

I didn’t say owned.

And trust me, plenty of non-electric cars will be sold today and tomorrow, same for laptops without soldered RAM.
