That’s a great idea! Now I want to design my own version of the board and homebrew it. A friend with a 3D printer could make the tokens.

“It’s the Democrats’ fault because they let Trump win!”

We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what is turning (and has been turning) the US into a shithole country.

But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don’t know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s

I always turned them off, unless I was just going to eat dinner and couldn’t save. The lasers for old systems like the PS2 and Sega Saturn have a longevity, and will wear out over time. I’d rather not speed that up since I plan on keeping them around. I was also scolded for wasting electricity growing up, so that is burned into my habits as well.

So then… these factory farms are the ones creating the “weapons of mass destruction,” and the activists are the ones trying to stop them…?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The FBI has been collaborating […] to gather information on animal rights activism […] under its directive to counter weapons of mass destruction

[…] charging activists who break into factory farms under federal criminal statutes that carry a possible sentence of up to life in prison - including for the “attempted use” of WMD

Can someone explain to me, in simple terms, how animal rights activism is connected to weapons of mass destruction?

This might make sense for people with six+ figures sitting in a savings account, but the average person today doesn’t have enough cash to think about earning interest on it. For them, paying off a debt now would be cheaper in the long run. For the most part, at least.

I like these points. Preventing a future expense by paying less now is always worth it, if you can afford it.

If you aren’t ready to fully commit to installing it on a hard drive, you could probably make a live USB stick of Linux. There are installers built to run on windows that will install Linux onto a USB drive, which you can boot from after turning off your PC. That way, you don’t need to worry about wiping or resetting an old computer just to see if you like it.

Unfortunately, most Windows users are not tech savy and will never move to Linux, regardless of how user-friendly Linux becomes. It would take large-scale retailers switching their computers to have Linux pre-installed instead of Windows before any meaningful transition happens.

I always thought this one was pretty… WEIRD…

That’s only when a country follows these rules. Some countries don’t care and will tortue POWs and then ask, “What are you gonna do about it?” Because nobody is able to hold them accountable.

Being a kid with ADHD, all of them. Each and every service drove me to the brink of insanity. I stopped going once I was old enough to decide for myself.

“I got some great plastic surgery, the best plastic surgery. Better than the world has ever seen.”

They’re against pornography, not prostitutes. There’s a difference, I guess.

How many more times will I see this headline this summer?

Leaving a carcass in the wild would attract scavengers and spread disease, which is prevented by inhumation. Cremation is also an option but requires a large amount of fuel. In early and prehistoric cultures, inhumation was the easy option.

Edit: to add to this, I read something on how the first “burials” were just piling rocks on top of the dead body, primarily to ward off scavengers. So, aside from honoring the dead, burial and cremation have a practical purpose as well.

Feed the homeless. /s
