I actually liked and used the old pull up menus in Windows. Starting at Win10 I put everything I use on my desktop and avoid as much of Windows functionality as I can and turn off everything I can. I don't want an Android or IOS type interface on my PC and will go to Linux at some point as Windows pushes that envelope further, or switch to some WinServer type setup where they allow the owner a lot more control of the OS

Israeli and extremist Jewish lobbyists have monstrous power in congress.

Fuck our politicians and their collusion with Israel in this genocide. Our damn oligarchy masquerading as a democracy is getting to grow old and we need to change and take control of our country through voting which starts in the primaries so we get true progressives in instead of people who want to go backwards or rollover to those with power or money to control our democratic institutions. Yeah I'm looking at the damn DNC who control our only reasonable hope for change. argh

I've been tempted to sign up as well so I can stream to my TV through their app. I can block anything I want through my PC but smart TV's are too locked down for my technical knowledge so I get ad's which is unacceptable

I run uOrigin, flashblock, JS disabled, No Overlays, and DDG's privacy ad on's and I have no problems with YT

I have some weird rabbit hole ideas about Reddit doing what it did and when. I think all public spaces are being restricted if it can't be controlled as wanted by the powers that be, Reddit was outside that power and WB may be the biggest example and how stocks were played out there did not follow the designed path which was disliked by those who could restrict or stop it. I resisted leaving Reddit because I almost felt like it was designed to get us to leave the public space. But I was really spending too much time there and I feel a lot better by not arguing about issues instead of discussing them.

Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to all the biblical lands. IMO everything else is semantics.

I use hotel water for 2 things when I travel; showers and toilets. The 2 or 3 liters I drink is nothing compared to those. But I imagine Americans and others from areas where water isn't restricted take much longer showers and we have a habit of leaving the tap running while we do stuff like wash something or brush our teeth. That being said I'm heading to Barcelona in fall and I'll try to be mindful of my water usage

I actually do have an MSI laptop. I forgot I had read so many negative reviews of the Asus that I went the other direction. After posting that I got on my laptop and realized my mistake and remembered the negative reviews about them

For desktop motherboards I've usually gone MSI but my gaming laptop is an Asus and is a little over a year old. It's worked perfect since I got it and I've had zero problems with it. The Nvidia GPU and laptop fans sure do sing when I'm playing games though

I got my first notification on my Win10 Pro box today about support ending too

I did corporate training for an international company for about 20 years. Once when I was in Mexico something happened in class and I said something was okay and used my finger and thumb to make the okay sign. They kind of laughed and started talking among themselves. I guess the okay sign means asshole in Mexico so when they explained that I laughed with them and said I didn't know that. One of the jokers in class said "yeah, okay we believe you" and gave me the okay sign. lol

Michigander so it was all in the Great Lakes or smaller bodies of water. It was mostly a fishing boat

Mine was a compilation of my wife and daughter's name; Elisae and as a nod to my Norwegian heritage it was the Norse Elisae. It was only a 22' though

While we continue to give arms to a country committing genocide. Welcome to AIPAC power over US citizens

The driving in the hills of southern Ohio can be pretty nice. I used to spend a lot of time in the Dover area. Michigan and Ohio were my sales territory for a few years

I came to read the comments and I'm glad I chose not to read another subjective rant about something someone hates. Who TF cares if I really hate something other people really like. And me getting on a soap box about it only makes me an asshole. Some people put a whole lot of value on their opinion and don't understand how others can also have strong opinions that may differ and yet have as much value as theirs.

If you live with the Yaqui indians you can turn into a raven. /s Obscure Castaneda reference

It kind of reminded me of people driving on a flat tire along the edge of the highway. I wonder if the driver meetings talk about where the best areas to pull over are for different types of issues
