It will be issued via surprise party.

Apparently PP supporters have short memories because that happened last summer.

"Educated people wont support our absurd conservative positions!"

Must be liberal brain-washing.

or something more cheerful like GladOS

Mint has been my goto desktop distro for many years now. It is everything Ubuntu used to be. For servers Debian is the answer.

For those that prefer non-debian based Linux then Fedora variants are the way to go.

There were several attempts to chain CDs to caddys, kind of like Laser Disc none stuck.

There were also Zip (250MB) and Jazz (1GB) Drives that were pretty amazing for their day. Unfortunately media was expensive. Jazz was pretty great for backups though.

I moved to BC from California last year and love it. With the exception of booze, mexican cheeses, and houses* most things are similarly priced.

*I lived just out side of LA so nearly anywhere would be cheaper except London or Vancouver.

You need to press the RageLock key to fix that.

100yrs is simply not enough time for the trickle to begin. A few more generations are needed.

I remember buying a region unlocked DVD player that would also play DIVX discs. I just recently got rid of it when i moved and cleaned out my garage.

Even knowingly ingesting hallucinogens can be not fun.

I unknowingly smoked some opium laced pot with some strangers at a party once. They were already pretty wasted so it did not occur to them to warn me until after I was already smoking. It mostly led to a rather dreamlike night of revelry so no complaints about that one.

Everything's out of control and the corps are doing it from pole to pole.

The best scene in a terrible movie.

LLMs will replace the programmers right before they replace the satarists.

I used the free version of Proton for a while, but when I decided to start paying I went with Surfshark. They were the best deal at the time and their client works well with the Windows, Android and Linux devices I have used it on. I have encountered some annoying "prove you are human" prompts when using Google Search so I mostly use DuckDuckGo.

Had some good times drinking Warp Core Breaches at Quarks Bar in Vegas back when I was young and fun.

And no windows in most of the storefronts. It is not impossible to convert them, but it is not particularly economical in most cases.

Having done it m youth it is also very hard on your body. Not everyone can do it for decades on end as injuries can pile up. My father was an electrician for 30 yrs but eventually his knees gave out on him and his hands. He used to have forearms like Popeye but now has difficulty gripping anything because of repetitive injury to his thumbs.
