The word “Fact” is woke.

maybe stash a maga hat hidden somewhere, if you see ICE approaching to possibly arrest you and prevent you from voting, put the hat on.

That’s legitimately genius and hilarious at the same time.

This is survival of the poorly educated, poorly resourced, poorly connected communities.

Or this is the “find out” moment for a MAGA housewife who spent the last year cheering on RFK Junior and yellilng about the “woke agenda” of pasteurization.

The point is, we don’t know. But since RAW milk is both more expensive AND more inconvenient to obtain, I’m going to go with my theory over a poor mother.

You’re amazing. Thanks.

The hole in the ozone layer…

Yep…you guessed it. Epstein.

PSU is 750. Heck, with the exception of the GPU it’s the second most expensive part in the old girl. I upgraded it a few years back when I installed a more powerful fan for cooling.

its been more than enough for this setup for the last few years since then. Which basically confirms my suspicion that the PSU has crapped the bed.

Thanks for the assist.

Nothing that has been recently upgraded. Last upgrade was the when I installed new RAM 2 years ago.

I don’t disagree that they’re incompetent. But in this particular case what they’re doing isn’t incompetent at all. Surely you’ve noticed that anything in there that has Trumps name next to it is all things that couldn’t be corroborated. Or things that couldn’t be followed up on for one reason it another.

They took his name off from anything that was potentially investigated and proven, and left the “she says…” statements that have had no investigative follow-up so they can say “look how honest we are. Yes he’s in there but none of it is actually provable”

Its a greasy, and slimy and frankly pure evil scheme. But its not an incompetent one.

The only issue with Unions is a corporate system that has spent decades on a campaign of misinformation and vilification.

Never forget that its unions that gave you a five day work week, 8 hour days, and child labour laws.

Nothing is given by a corporation out of the kindness of their heart. And nothing makes them more gleeful than listening to people repeat their anti-union screed.

I hadn’t realized that Fran Drescher was no longer the president.

Congratulations on your super classy and well-spoken president, America.

*Davenport

Chesterfield actually. “Davenport” was a name brand of chesterfiled-style-sofa that became popular enough to become synonymous (Like Kleenex became synonymous with tissues, or Chapagne became synonymous with almost any bubbly wine)

What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30? Is it simply that they’re hosting an app on their store, so therefore they’re entitled to a cut?

So if I write a novel, and get it published, Microsoft can say "We deserve 30% because you used our product to produce your product?

I’m so fucking tired of corporations. It’s well past guillotine-o-clock.

Haven’t brushed my teeth yet today. I’m gonna have to decline.

That was sassy? I thought it was hilarious.

I thought you had actually taken the time to look at my comment history, discovered that I majored in Near Eastern Classical Archaeology and was making a riff on that. I thought it was great!

I stand corrected. Learn something new every day. Thanks.

edit: I don’t know why you are getting downvotes. You corrected me with a proper source. and I stood corrected. That’s the proper civilized way of doing things.

They didn’t ban weapons. They banned generals leading independent armies.

Roman military was, at that time at least, privatised. The generals were the elites and the rich who would often pay for their own armies. When Caesar for example wanted to go campaigning in Gaul, he’d pay for a lot of the cost or of his own pocket. This resulted in armies that were generally more loyal to their general than to Rome.

That could naturally be a problem, so to prevent a general from getting ideas, the law mandated that they would have to disband their armies before crossing into Italy proper (or at least leaving their army encamped outside the territory)

That point was traditionally just before the army would cross the Rubicon river, hence the phrase “crossing the Rubicon” denoting a kind of “red line” or “point of no return”.

When Caesar made the decision to March on Rome and incite a civil war, his army “crossed the Rubicon”.

“most”?

Try “all”. Everything always eventually comes down to someone, somewhere, trying to make more profit for themselves.

That’s why “Follow the money” is the surest way to solve any crime.

I was legitimately sad when LG left the market. It feels like nowadays, the only company left making “high-end phones at mid-range prices” is Motorola, while every other company is following the Apple/Samsung trend of charging literally whatever they can get away with.

We used to live in a world where a company would make a product “X”, calculate how much it costs to manufacture, factor in a 30 percent profit margin to cover reinvestment into the company, and call that the “price”.

Now, largely thanks to Apple, the “price” is whatever the marketing department can convince people to pay with advertising heavily on FOMO and “coolness”, regardless of the manufacturing cost. It’s a shitty way to do business (in my opinion). LG was one of the last of the good ones sticking to the old ways. Now it’s just Moto.
