I write Linux guides, act and sing!

And do tech stuff.

And am weak.

And am a stereotypical nerd in almost every way.

B-but I don’t play an instrument, so it TOTALLY doesn’t count!

  • Alphabet is the company that owns all the products and companies and whatnot. They are the owners of google, android, chrome, google drive, chromium, a ton of stuff. Too much stuff.

    Them getting broken up means that the different parts of their business will get split up. So google search and android and chrome etc. Will all be different companies.

    The best in example I can think of is AT&T. They used to own pretty much the entire American telephone network, but they got broken up for being a monopoly. In this case, they were split up regionally, into over 20 different companies.







  • Automachef is the most unique factory game I’ve ever played. You make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.

    Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It’s got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.








  • Because we have this stupid thing called the electoral college. Basically, each state has a certain number of votes, based (roughly) on population (its a whole other issue), and the states’ votes are cast for whoever won the most votes within their state (barring rogue electors and the few states that use proportional representation for votes.) Theres a total of 538 votes, and all that matters is winning more than half of them. This has made the winner of the popular vote lose the election 5 times (though in 1824, it went to the house of representatives for a final decision because no one had a majority.)

    To summarize: not a dumb question, VERY dumb answer.
