  • Omg absolutely yes. Thanks. I just replied to him nearly word for word. Just wanted to know if anyone could say they’ve done one of these and it was easy and/or hey this website is usually very clear. That’s all.

    Sheesh :-)

  • I agree too many people have isolated themselves thinking a keyboard and a screen can replace being in person. It sucks and it’s a sickness. Such a foolish and self-destructive way to live and so, what is it, laziness? I don’t know.

    At the same time, tech has enhanced a lot. It’s a matter of selecting the situation where tech has made the thing better and discarding the idea of tech when it’s just for the sake of it.

  • Awesome.

    I agree about the wine; I was just going on like the broadest scenarios because of course when it comes down to it, there’s nothing objective about it. And I agree with the pairing if I see someone bring up the issue of this wine with that protein I take pity on someone who is so stuck to these absurd notions they don’t know what enjoyment actually is.

  • Ah ok I think I understand now why I and the person who commented above me, misunderstood this. I thought it was asking how has the technology that the hobby has adopted, but I think it meant just tech in general.

    Yeah I used to love stargazing with my telescope but more and more ambient light polluting the skies means there are fewer and fewer places within any populated region where one can get a real look at the natural night sky. :-(

  • Yeah, no it’s all a question of the person’s relationship with wine, as with other things. If you are perfectly fine with a cheap wine then yeah, plenty of them are delicious. But a connoisseur can and will appreciate what a $500 wine offers them, and it’s not qualities you can find in any $5 bottle.

    Like with many things, if you appreciate the higher-end selections among them, then you’re getting something you can’t at the low end. The question is, even with those qualities, is it really worth $500? And that’s just a matter of economics.

    When my son was born I got a $100 bottle of Glenlivet 18 year French Oak Finish. That’s a rather sophisticated single malt; by no means is it the best because I know people who have bourbon or scotch that costs like 5x that. However, you will not anywhere or anytime find a cheap scotch that even comes close to that Glenlivet. It was some of the smoothest and most delicious single malt I’ve ever had. Lasted me nearly a year.

    Sigh. Due to a medical condition I don’t consume alcohol anymore, and haven’t for a long time. But goddamn do I miss good scotch, bourbon, beer… sigh.

  • Yeah you know what, that's already too much hassle. What I really want is to optimize it by getting rid of bloat. However, if I do all that I can without rooting and it runs fairly well then it will suffice. Thank you for response and to everyone else who responded.

  • You have to understand, you are seeing people of VERY low intelligence. I know that's tough to accept, but demographics are really frightening in America. Millions of voters with intelligence not very much higher than outright mental retardation. And so, the system learned long ago, you don't bother trying to get them to think you're right for the job, you don't want them thinking at all. So you just get them to ally with you as a tribe, and that way they're yours even if you're doing the opposite of what they want.

  • Understanding how these things work requires mental effort, which most of the sheeple prefer to put toward playing their iPhone games and watching their TV shows.

    Critical thinking, patience and research? 99.99% avoid such things the way they do disease and sewage. So that’s where we are now as a society.

  • Yeah but when the repugnant pundits make their proclamations on the news and in public address, they simply quote all this data but reverse the parties. Just lie. Simple as that. And their sheep believe every word.

    The lying political figures should be lined up at a wall and shot.
