Is per capita appropriate in this context?

Or because the US, the richest country ever to exist, is squandering its wealth on weapons and kleptocracy instead of improving its citizens’ lives even a tiny amount?

Leftist virtue signaling where nothing you do is ever actually good enough, basically

Dang, am I about to become an Arch user?

Why do you even announce it? Just block and move on, no one cares

How soon until Asahi will run on it

I had video out via MHL back in like 2013 and a usable desktop environment on an HTC M7 or something like that. Haven’t had a phone that could do anything similar since, and it’s kind of wild with how much more powerful phones are these days that desktop modes aren’t more common. I would love to not have to carry a laptop around when my phone is more than powerful enough for what I do for work.

Because this isn’t about parenting or children, it’s about a creeping surveillance state

Wait, ChromeOS was explicitly created to support the institution of chattel slavery? Who knew?!

I’d just point out that now might be a good time to add a whole-house surge arrester and/or get a bunch of new surge arresting power strips for your hardware. They have a useful life measured in joules dissipated so replace them if they’re old too or your cheap RAM (among other things) may let out the magic smoke one day.

High speed rail… mmmmm…

Cool, can’t wait for nothing to happen afterwards

Make matrix as easy to use and understand and make sure all their friends are there first

Not OP but I bought a 45" LG UltraGear gaming “monitor” a while back that’s basically just a TV, no smart anything etc. Right now the only ones I see after a quick search are curved though, mine is flat.

He was flirting with holocaust denial decades ago, was a Trump supporter from the beginning, became more and more of a generic unhinged conspiracy theorist following that, and yes as you noted was a pretty blatant racist. Sprinkle some misogyny in there for good measure as well.

Behind the Bastards has some good episodes about him

Without a way of knowing which satellite passing overhead was the ISS, in the narrow windows each day where you could see them well enough to correctly point a Yagi at one, you’d quickly run out of battery before making a relevant contact. Also the people on the ISS rarely listen or respond, the most used ham equipment on the ISS is basically a glorified repeater so you’d also have to get above the pileup of all the satellite chasers just trying to log contacts.
