  • I use mint and don’t really have any problems.

    The only problem (which is of my own making) I installed it on an external usb drive, so it boots super slow. Other than that, no issues. I’m going to leave it there for a year or so. Then install it on an internal drive (solid state).

    Not saying others don’t have issues. Just that I don’t.

  • Lead in wine? Interesting.

    Hadn’t tried that combo.

    I’ve tried lead in paint chips that had a rubbery taste, might have been the paint… Lead on potato chips definitely has a solid taste, even better than sea salt.

  • Considering how many times I've told people the path we were headed down. I literally tried telling people what Trump was going to do (what he is now doing), and they said I was exaggerating, that I was just making things up. That it would never happen.

    I've been saying for many years this was going to happen.

    People want unions, but for for those that vote against unions.

    People want social security, but for those that want to limit social security.

    People won't believe that long lines even exist to vote even when shown videos.

    People won't even try to understand what tariffs are or the damage they cause.

    People demand privacy, then vote for the very people that are controlling the corporations that are spying on you.

    When I continously say for years don't run into that brick wall or you'll break your face, then people run into the brick wall. I'm going to have a hard time showing any sympathy.

    Now.. Well... Now I'll take care of my mom and myself.

  • So they’re going to pick a fight with a large number of very wealthy corporations, And with the wealth these corporations have , Twitter thinks they’re going to win.?

    This is gonna look something like a first year boxer getting in a ring with four of the greatest boxers of all time.

    I mean, what’s the argument here, you have to do business with every other business on the planet? How does that even make logical sense?

    If I run a burger shop and for whatever reason I don’t do business with your company, you’re able to sue me? How does this play out in the real world?

  • I am absolutely against it. You cannot force a person to give 100% of their effort. So if a person doesn’t wanna be there. They’re not going to put forward 100%. Wanna guess who picks up the rest.? Yeah that’s right their teammates. Now their teammates are pissed off because they’re doing extra work. That destroys morale . It doesn’t matter what type of job they have whether it’s infantry or office based or whatever the end result is the same.

    It’s one of the reasons why when you enlist when you’re going through training, it really is not that hard to get out of training. During the Vietnam era you pretty much had to throw yourself down a flight of stairs and break your leg or something. Today, yeah it’s significantly easier to leave.

    Because the mentality is, if you don’t wanna be there then just go home.

    Special operations takes it to the next level they have (for example with the seals) a bell that you ring. Literally just walk up ring the bell and you’re done.

    I have met a few vets, but not very many people who served who think military should be mandatory. The vast majority of people have served say : no service should not be mandatory. At least the ones that I’ve met.

    I have met a fair number civilians who thinks military service should be mandatory though.

  • Think of what a bar of gold is worth. 1,000,000. That's 25 pounds.

    I don't have that much money so for me the weight would be significantly less. That would be super easy to conceal and head some where safe. If the US fell the gold can be converted to any currency. Even if it took a year or two for another country to pick up and be a stable place to go, the gold would still be good.

    So that makes gold a solid place to store the value. Go back hundreds of years people still wanted gold. Hundreds of years from now people will probably still want gold.

    If it's a serious crash but the US dollar comes back. Gold will still be a good solid place to store the value. If the US changes from dollar to something else, then gold still works.

    The only question is timing the market, but to me still not a big deal since generally safe gold goes up in value.

    1990 price was $383 an ounce in 2023 it was $1943 an ounce. I'd say do the math to those that doubt. And yeah timing is tough. But even if the US doesn't fail gold goes up in price generally speaking

  • My mom was supposed to get my Grandpa’s house after he died. But my grandpa made the mistake of giving his new wife my mom‘s stepmom right to life in the house. She didn’t take care of the house, trying to kick somebody out who has right life is almost impossible. When my mom‘s stepmom finally died,the house was basically worthless. My mom basically got nothing out of the deal.

    Never ever give somebody right to life to any house. It will kick you in the teeth.

  • If you are trying to make them care or discuss it at work then that is where you are failing.

    Very few people want to or are willing to discuss politics at work. Many will report it as harassing behavior and you run the risk of getting fired.

    You need to talk to them outside of work.
