California is the textbook case of paying way to much for that sort of thing, isn't it? It's always the one they go to when they want to make a crazy inflated budget look reasonable by comparison. But yeah, I was seriously underestimating the cost anyway. Maybe we should just go with medium-speed rail.
For the $70 billion it would apparently cost in total to have these super fancy fighter jets, they could instead build a million new low-cost housing units and still have some money left over to work on inventing innovative air defence systems that aren't so expensive..
Well, fair enough, there's room for disagreement. There are many fine distinctions that get made, and the exact relationship between nation, state, and patriotism is always controversial. As I see it, love for the land and people is near one end of a spectrum, flag waving and devotion to the sovereign crown of Canada near the other. If there's a dividing line somewhere, not everyone draws it in the same place.
Well worth the loss of tourism money to put a stop to those disrespectful Canadians visiting the States, spreading their woke leftist communist propaganda all over Florida every winter.
They've removed the ability to do it through the normal settings menu a few years ago, so you'd have to type about:config in the Firefox url bar and do it there. You'll get a warning about how dangerous it is, and then you can type the names of preferences you want to change and double-click on them when they appear to turn those ones on or off. Turning off EME can be safely done without any side effects, but it's not recommended to change anything else in there unless you know what it does.
It would mean you can't watch e.g. Netflix and some TV station websites won't be able to play video — although I've found that on others, the TV programs play just fine but the ads don't work.
Librewolf and the "EME-free" builds of Firefox are the two I know of. You can also set media.eme.enabled and browser.eme.ui.enabled to false in any Firefox-based browser.
Huh. So definitely not worth it then. Just buy a space heater instead. When I did it a few years ago I got $500 out of it, but it cost me a $350 video card which died soon after.
One reason to use a browser with no DRM capabilities available is that it tells them in advance you won't be visiting any more if they try to force DRM on everyone.
Huge demand for energy, you say? Sounds like just what Trump is looking for to help bring back the coal mining industry. Acid rain and mercury pollution for everyone will make America great again.
