It’s Texas Republicans we’re talking about here. I’m not at all convinced that they can.

“Elites” is about as useless a word as “woke” or “terrorist”; depending on who you ask, you will get wildly different (and often mutually exclusive) answers on what it means.

Reread what I said.

A>B is a relative statement that gives no information on the absolute values of either. If I say that Miami’s elevation is greater than New Orleans’, that doesn’t mean that I’m saying Miami’s equal to the top of Mount Everest.

But it does make it more difficult relative to the others, which is all that any unitless chart is ever saying.

A lot of those stereotypical problems have been non-issues for a long time. Last time I had to fuck around with wifi drivers was somewhere around 2012.

I think it’s more accurate to say that things become fire.

Businesses generating their own power is not anything new. The big auto manufacturers used to do it back in the day, and if you scale down the concept, every windmill (the grain grinding kind) and waterwheel built and operated for profit is the same thing. I’m just happy that Google is seemingly having their own built, instead of getting taxpayers to build it for them.

Depends on the device and the usage. “Smart devices” can encompass a lot of things.

I thought dodging state imposed transaction restrictions was kinda the whole point of cryptocurrencies (other than the pyramid scheme part).

Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?

They’re just bitter that they can’t have the “pets” they actually want.

“It works. What more do you want?”

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?

Nothing says “small government” and “freedom” quite like mass surveillance.

World’s best swap drive.

Things happen by accident or on purpose. No one over the age of 3 should be using “on accident”.

I have a lot of questions for whoever set that up in the first place, first and foremost of which is: why in the everlasting fuck was that computer ever attached to the internet? At most it should be allowed internal network access only.

Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.

Wait, is that a random number, or the actual scale of the power draw we’re talking about?

'Cause that’s fuck-all when we’re talking about industrial level power draw.

Not important enough to me at this point to spend the time changing over. Windows 10 does what I need it to and still gets security updates. When one of those two factors changed, then it will be worth my time to change over.
