My father built our first house on an acreage in 1984. He chose to put in a wood furnace because we were surrounded by trees. One of my strongest memories is being in the basement stacking wood as he passed it down through a hatch he built into the wall of the garage.

your on a Canadian board remember

That would be because I’m Canadian. And no, that’s not bitching and moaning, that’s rightfully pointing out that while Ukraine and Gaza are living in demolished homes and unheated homes without electricity because they’re fighting fascists, Americans won’t do anymore more than performative marching because it might mean they lose their creature comforts and shiny toys.

The country is already in a civil war. But only one side is fighting it. And that’s why the body count is on their side.

Who says I’m not angry? You don’t know me.

Bitching and moaning on a website isn’t productive. Going out a filming a weekend protest on the brand new iPhone you purchased that week isn’t productive. It’s literally the epitome of what this guy was talking about. The addiction to ephemeral trivialities.

You protest Trump and yell your slogans about Epstein and in the end it does nothing because the people you SHOULD be targetting is the oligarchs and billionaires that pay him.

Trump is just another distraction from the root of the problem; another rage-bait to keep you distracted.

Until we are dragging billionaires into the streets en-mass, your protests mean precisely fuck-all. But anything more than just marching with a sign would require putting people’s creature comforts at risk, and that’s anathema in the west.

Breezy. Because AsteroidOS and Gadgetbridge.

For a very long time I’ve realised that my ebook reader didn’t replace hardcover books for me. It just replaced those paperback books that you only intend to read once on an airplane; basically the bailiwick of mass-market-paperbacks.

So, sad as it is, it makes sense that paperbacks are seeing a steep decline. They’re the most susceptible to ebooks.

Except that they’re not wrong. Whoever this Jes Stanley is, back in 2014 he read the metaphorical room perfectly. Western culture will put up with anything as long as they keep getting shiny new toys every year.

Tale as old as time.

Me fail english!? That’s unpossible!

Technically yes, but also no.

At least not casually; flying between star systems at will, faster than light between star systems, etc…

I’m sure at some point, if scientists confirm the habitibility of a world orbiting a star relatively nearby, some group or other would probably get a Generation Ship concept going and head out. Musk or some other fucking billionaire looking for a world to conquer. So technically that is interstellar travel, but not really as it’s just a one way point to point, not a taxi service.

The word “Fact” is woke.

That’s a loooong way down to get to:

“Named after a dance.”

That being said, being named after a dance is just one theory. Truth is no one remembers anymore.

Growing up in Saskatchewan, my brain almost naturally began to delineate a difference between hooded sweaters with a zipper (hoodie) and hooded sweaters without a zipper (bunny hug). It’s a completely arbitrary naming convention that my brain decided to pull from its ass one day. But it stuck and I continue to use it.

maybe stash a maga hat hidden somewhere, if you see ICE approaching to possibly arrest you and prevent you from voting, put the hat on.

That’s legitimately genius and hilarious at the same time.

Protestants don’t consider Catholics to be “Christian” at all.

I got unceremoniously told that by my now (ex) in-laws while deciding on what kind of wedding we were going to have.

I may have been a little too snarky in my response when I said “Bitch, we were the ORIGINAL christians.”

This is survival of the poorly educated, poorly resourced, poorly connected communities.

Or this is the “find out” moment for a MAGA housewife who spent the last year cheering on RFK Junior and yellilng about the “woke agenda” of pasteurization.

The point is, we don’t know. But since RAW milk is both more expensive AND more inconvenient to obtain, I’m going to go with my theory over a poor mother.

You’re amazing. Thanks.

The hole in the ozone layer…

Yep…you guessed it. Epstein.

PSU is 750. Heck, with the exception of the GPU it’s the second most expensive part in the old girl. I upgraded it a few years back when I installed a more powerful fan for cooling.

its been more than enough for this setup for the last few years since then. Which basically confirms my suspicion that the PSU has crapped the bed.

Thanks for the assist.

Nothing that has been recently upgraded. Last upgrade was the when I installed new RAM 2 years ago.

I don’t disagree that they’re incompetent. But in this particular case what they’re doing isn’t incompetent at all. Surely you’ve noticed that anything in there that has Trumps name next to it is all things that couldn’t be corroborated. Or things that couldn’t be followed up on for one reason it another.

They took his name off from anything that was potentially investigated and proven, and left the “she says…” statements that have had no investigative follow-up so they can say “look how honest we are. Yes he’s in there but none of it is actually provable”

Its a greasy, and slimy and frankly pure evil scheme. But its not an incompetent one.
