Disrespectfuly, Maybelline Vance is a tool, a fool, and a weasel.

Remember that those MAGA dumbasses aren't just wasting money. They're adding more power to Trump. Fucker went bankrupt six times and finally found the holy grail of scams: be the senile puppet boy of the rich corpos. I always thought W was a puppet, but he seems to have at least drawn a line at full blown tyranny. We need to convince these people to buy stupid shit again... beanie babies 2.0?

I've been mostly Windows free for 6 months now. I use Win 11 for work and I bought an old Surface Pro 4 with Win 11 installed to learn Nomad Sculpt. I am just too afraid of testing Linux on a machine tailor made around Windows.

A 12g is a little too big for a home. A 14g works just as well. And breach load isn't too difficult to reload either. Pistols are harder to aim in a panic, shotguns allow for errors in accuracy. Home defense only, of course. Plus 14g make for decent varmint guns too, if you have issues with invading or dangerous wildlife (coyotes, raccoons, opossums, snakes, etc.)

Guns aren't inherently bad. Gun worship is bad. Gun ownership without proper safety and use is bad. Gun as a toy philosophy is bad. Gun's being taught to children as a weapon to destroy those they hate is bad. Guns are a qeapon to be used fr defense, or a tool to hunt to eat. Guns aren't a hotrod that gets modifications for fun, or a contest to see who can get the most. Teach children they can't touch guns without supervision, keep them locked up. Practice with guns, read or get training on maintenance and safety. If you are a person who thinks about using a gun more than a few times a week or so you probably should question why you think that way. If you have anything but a sick feeling at the thought of killing someone with a gun you need therapy. Guns are a last resort, and they should be respected as the grim reapers they are.

Maybe you're right. I've never tried burning blurays. The cost and error possibility just leaned me into using hard drives for storage. They last longer, are less likely to damage, and far cheaper. Even a used drive still has a few hundred thousand writes left, usually.

To me it's the lack of permanent damage, or any damage visible just a week later. Ears, especially old ears, do not heal back to normal usually. If you pierce an ear it's always going to have a dimple, even if closed up.

Don't forget obsessive types, people who are so overcome with desire and worship that it compels them to seek attention (I am NOT well versed in psychology, there is probably waaaay more involved here), which seems the most likely scenario seeing how his cult followers act (and if not a conspiracy false flag).

Point to point network. Fun fact, you can invert an old satellite dish and mount a wifi antenna in place of the LNB and shoot your wifi for a mile or two this way. Back when high speed internet was still rare, hobbyists practiced different ways to extend networks to poorly covered areas. This was one of those ways. Then fiber was run across the country and everyone got their hopes up... to see the telcos say "out of money, sorry, keep using our dsl until we get more handouts to install the last mile."

Frisbee time!!! Wheeee!

This is the reason I haven't thought too hard on bluray discs... $5 to $11 per disc...

I replaced my jazz drive when burners became more popular and cheaper. I could buy 100 cdrs for the price of a zip disk. I only had a zip drive to begin with so I could work on my high school projects in computer graphics class from home (ah, going back and forth between Windows and Mac in 1999... it sucked)
