You literally feel it in the seat of your pants, after a while.

I have 2 cvt scooters (no real defensible reason), and it makes me uncomfortable having RPMs go up or down without direct relationship to speed

As far as I know, a large majority of Israelis support the whole liebensraum thing, and fucking up Iran (whose government are also a bunch of murderous shitbags, btw). We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.

I've been migrating some of my clients (I do on site support for SMBs) to LTSC 2019, which gets updates until 2029. An added benefit is that it gets a lot less updates, essentially security updates, and comes with a lot less crap preinstalled.

He abided strictly by the 13th commandment: "thou shall not kill those who agree with you"

Don't worry. TACO.

I do SMB support, so I have a pretty good idea of what people tend to do.

I haven't seen a PS brick catch fire (possible, OFC, but extremely rare in my opinion) i have seen a PC PSU catch fire, and because of the fan, it's fucking scsry, like a jet with the afterburner.

Well, the last few wars have been in deserts

Replacement is usually removing 6-10 screws and prying the case with a guitar pick or old credit card. There is most likely a disassembly video on youtube. Batteries from aliexpress or the like are usually cheap (although probably more expensive than the computer). Depending on the application, the "built-in UPS" can be nice.

I signed up to kill brown people in the middle east, not this here"

Slow clap.

The big influence was Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. That was the album that flipped me. The musical invention on that album was, like, ‘Wow!’ That was the big thing for me. I just thought, ‘Oh dear me. This is the album of all time. What the hell are we going to do?’ So, Sgt Pepper eventually came out, basically, from the idea that I had about this band. It was going to be an album of another band that wasn’t us. We were going to call ourselves something else, and just imagine all the time that it wasn’t us playing this album. So, I had this song written of ‘Sgt Pepper’, who, twenty year’s ago today, taught us to play and we’re his protégés and here we are.

The fucking site auto-translated without my asking , and provided no obvious way to show the original.

I really, really fucking hate this.

Well, according to Trump's playbook, that should be worth a few billions worth of lawsuits

Thats why you virtualize. I have a program that I must use from time to time because of legacy issues, and much content in their propietary format. The solution was either pay out the wazoo for accesing my own content a few times a month, or arrr it. A download, and a VM does the trick. And bonus, I can use it in Linux, too.

Et tu, Brexit?

Amen

I've retired the last of the non-stick cookware I had. It's all iron, cast and stamped, and stainless now.

The reason I haven't bought an instant pot or airfryer is that I haven't found non plastic coated ones.

“A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science.”

These professionals are widely trusted, asshole. It's your lunatic fringe base that mistrusts them!

"73% of people feel that vaccines are safe and 77% think they are effective. 79% of those surveyed said they believe it’s important for children to have vaccines and 54% feel that vaccines are compatible with their religious beliefs."
