It literally specifies in our constitution that we have the second amendment to protect ourselves from our own tyrannical government. This type of thing is exactly what it’s for.

For techno, who you must be referring to is “The Belleville Three”; but they actually got their inspiration from a German band called “Kraftwerk” that was making techno music.

Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they’ll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.

Passenger vehicles and homes and most businesses could be covered by solar and wind, but oil will still be used for quite a while for cargo shipping and commercial trucks and things like tires. We could use a lot less, but oil is going to hang around for quite a while. Passenger vehicles account for about 25% of oil used.

“the US” doesn’t want these things. Trump had the lowest 4 year average approval rating on any US president ever his first 4 year term, and he’s currently beating that by a lot this term so far. The people running the US are corrupt, wealthy, grifters. The elections are rigged by being gerrymandered all to hell (or worse) and protests are useless.

Lots of people. Way too many. Same with the BS TV doctors like dr Oz and dr Phill. Lotta dumb and gullible people out there.

The same way they’ve done it with every other country the US has done this to. It’s an old play. Not new territory.

US is far to spread out, and not enough people will care because Mudaro wasn’t a very good guy and that’s about as far as nearly half the US will look.

Countries with nukes and power will eat all other countries, up to the point that one of the countries with nukes is confident that they can attack another country with nukes while preventing a retaliatory strike to happen. Shit will probably slide sideways when that decision happens.

Ukraine has never not been racist. That PR just been swept aside because Russia started a war to steal land and assumed they could easily get away with it.

Lot of places did. Springfield Mo broke its record on Christmas day by like 3 degrees F. A record that existed for 136 YEARS, and it got beat by multiple degrees.

Just buy two old 8GB ddr3 sticks and solder them together to make a 16GB ddr6 stick? Cheaper and one better than ddr5.

Yeah, I had the ram, but the 6600xt was the most I could buy without having to also upgrade my PSU.

Likewise. I haven’t bought a game that wasn’t at least a year old in a decade. Heck, right now I’m playing Psychonauts.

Paid under $200 for it and it punches well above the 1060 I’ve been using. Wanted a Radeon because they play nicer with Linux and this card is the beefiest AMD I could go without having to also buy a new PSU. Also couldn’t go much nicer anyhow or I’d be creeping up on games cpu limited, so it pairs nicely with the r 5 5600x. So for me and my particular set up it made for a nicely balanced hardware and cost choice. After this it will just be time for all new hardware in a few more years.

That’s alright. USB rails for a PCI slot are dirt cheap.

My eyes aren’t good enough for 4k. Lol

Jokes on them I just ordered a used r 5 5600x for a $140 upgrade. My shits old as dirt. I was on a 1600x and a 1060 GPU.

I went from thinking about a full rig upgrade, to just buying the best used processor and GPU my am4 board could handle with my current PSU and ddr4 ram.

Went from a ryzen 1600x and a Nvidia 1060 to a ryzen 5 5600x and a Radeon rx 6600 xt. I’ll be able to ride that out for a few years no problem.

Pretty much every person anywhere is self centered.
