What kind of fucking psychopath leaves the fridge open for 2 minutes?

Especially on a rural road. Nothing but ruts, patches and pot holes.

Don’t even have to be a cop. Just shoot an unarmed kid wearing a hoodie.

That is some Roald Dahl shit right there.

Please don’t shoot frag into the booty you want to loot.

Linux plus junk PCs. I’ve got a bunch of old computers my workplace tossed out because they wouldn’t take Windows 11 and I’ve never been happier with my tech setup in my life.

It’s probably some sort of mental condition, but I freaking love going trash-panda on our recycle PC pile and refurbing old hardware.

listen buddy, I’ve been getting computer junk every month for 20+ years. It’s all I think about and I still haven’t gotten addicted. If life has taught me anything is that the only thing you can’t get addicted to is free computer junk . how can I be addicted if it makes me happy? Computer junk is therapy, junking computers is LITERALLY my therapy. Life is free computer junk, everyday I wake up and I think about free computer junk. Every morning I grab my laptop and start looking on craigslist while I make my morning coffee. It’s literally all I think about, I can’t be at peace if I don’t junk at least 20$ a day. BUYING NEW IS JUST A PHASE. but I know a big junk pile is always right around the corner that’s why I’ll keep junking IT equipment until my wife leaves me.

I’d be in favor of putting Trump and his ilk in prison, but explicitly still letting him campaign and run his grifts. Here’s the deal though… He doesn’t get any real money for it, he just gets “prison bucks” that get him nicer treatment/amenities. We take all the actual money he generates from grifting, and use it to fund education in the areas that lost the most money in the con.

It’s a double whammy to find hotspots of the stupidest, most gullible people on the planet, and also getting their children properly educated and able to recognize and avoid the same scams their parents fell for.

It would make my fuckin year if they don’t.

Nah, my snakes don’t really mess with the foot pedals.

Dishonorable conduct, Wetnose.

Useless knowledge.

When playing Mechwarrior 2 on a Windows 2000 system, make sure to change your video mode to 32bit color.

I’ll throw in a useful tip too!

You can buy USB foot switches for your computer and assign keystrokes and other functions to them.

Almost feels like cheating when you are playing a tactical shooter and can lean left or right and strafe on demand without crossing any controls. Having microphone activation, map, inventory, or any number of misc actions boud to a foot pedal makes a huge difference in your ability to play a game.

Sharks are older than trees.

That’s because the military fights battles, they don’t win wars. You can’t bomb people into compliance. You can’t kill enough civilians to ensure peace. Military occupation creates resistance, not acceptance.

The only way the military can “win” a war is to kill everyone. The greatest military in the world doesn’t mean shit if you don’t have the economy and the diplomacy to back it up. Saying that the military isn’t good at winning a war is like saying that a steering-wheel isn’t good at winning a race.

Batteries don’t really explode, they combust. The metal cage usually outlives its ICE engine as well.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles either need extreme insulation to keep the fuel cool, otherwise it has to vent some fuel or risk exloding, or extremely strong pressure vessels in the car to maintain the hydrogen in a liquid form. A metal cylinder constantly expanding and contracting while simutaneously seeing extreme temperature changes is going to wear out much faster than the frame of the vehicle.

Efficiency wasn’t was the hydrogen car was trying to solve.

The main goal was to have a carbon-neutral fueled vehicle.

I remember reading about hydrogen fuel cell cars back in 2000, maybe earlier than that. Battery electric vehicles really weren’t on the public radar at the time. Essentially the fuel cell would take the place of the battery, storing energy to run an electric motor. We can then use just about any electrical source to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. Even if the efficiency sucked, flexibilty in sourcing fuel made up for it.

Okay. That’s pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and a moment to clarify.

No, I’m not offended in any way that you are in a different timezone, from a different country, studying aborad, or are in any way not directly living in the US and being impacted by the poor decisions people have made here. Anyone from anywhere can read about and make informed decisions about American politics, and probably come to a better decision about it than most of the people living here, based on the results of the last general election.

I’d encourage you to check your prejudice, because I am not the person you appear to think that I am.

Im heading to bed now (yes I am studying abroad, spooooky!)

What are you trying to imply here?

some unsubstantiated claims, some statements that were straight up untrue

Cite them.

As far as I can see you did not do that to my comment. Did you respond to the wrong comment?

No. I had a comment removed earlier that would have been basically what I would have sent back to you, but it was removed per a biased application of rule 4, no “Lessor Evil” rhetoric. I’m not going to type it all up again just have it removed. You’re welcome to find some repository of old comments and read it if it is available.

Edit: also the irony of complaining about my civility (without citation) and calling me a whiny pissbaby in the same comment is rich.
