Anarchy seems more likely to mr than fascism in the aftermath of such an election outcome. Trump has too many haters for there to be a peaceful transition this time.

I believe you can grow them as long as they are more than 150 feet from a white pine tree. The plants were originally banned because they were blamed for some sort of disease that jeopardized the lumber industry.

Sander Katz has a book called “The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved” which holds up the microwave as the prime example of what is wrong with modern eating.

I suggest looking into cooking with cast iron skillets. There are tons of great and simple foods you can make with couple of inexpensive cast iron pans. There used to be a cast iron cookery subreddit. There may be one here, I haven’t looked yet.

Another essential is a good wok. (cast iron or otherwise) Basically you throw a bunch of semi-random stuff and some sauce iron seasoning in a wok and heat it up. The variations are endless, quick, and often tasty once you get the hang of it.

Fines will teach those people who have no money to get more money.

They are going to lose it even more when they watch the new Willie Nelson/Orville Peck video.

The main Russian news organization is call “Pravda”, which is Russian for “Truth”. Their social media arm therefore, translated to English, would probably be called “Truth Social”.

It is likely to disrupt shipping in a major US port. This will have repercussions throughout the economy until the port is fully reopened.

So many men wearing dresses. This photo would be banned in several US states.

White males from privileged backgrounds for “the win”. Too bad for Florida because it’s been proven over and over that a diverse organization has a strong competitive and productivity edge. At least the white boys will have somewhere to strut.

Biden is a neoliberal centrist. If leftists vote for him it is because they have no other choice. It is why his support is so weak at the grass roots. And so strong amongst the capitalist elites. His far right opponent is a racist and crook, but runs a strong populist game. Those are our only two choices.

I think it would be uncanny if a partner didn’t grow, age, and evolve with you and the world around you. Nothing seems to stay the same. While one dimension may fade away, others emerge. If you are lucky, you get to grow old. Daydreaming about starting over, trying something new, and feeling young again is natural. At least with current technology, it is mostly just daydreams.

It is usually my first choice card for things. I think they have the best customer relations, web site, and terms of the major card companies. I really hope Capital One fails to acquire them.

The next one since they completely ignored the last one - and got away with it.

Treason.

Often the VC’s, if they have control of the company, will bring in “gray hair” managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They’ll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.

If you go linux, I do not recommend System 76. I’ve had two of them and both of them were junk. My company issues linux laptops to developers. 9 out of 10 System 76 laptops failed within a year. I’m not a big fan of Dell. If you have the time and money check out Starlabs. Framework has a lot of promise as well.

If you just need a beater running Windows for browsing and writing, surprisingly, I’ve found HP makes very affordable, reasonably solid machines.

If you want really portable for basic web stuff. I’d suggest an iPad. Lots of VCs and CEO types I know just use iPad.

For CAD you probably want a desktop with a high end mouse and an array of large monitors at an ergonomic desk setup. You’ll probably spend more on the chair and desk and workspace than on the computer.

Some people are above the law.

He won’t win. By honest means anyway. If we rollover and let him cheat his way into power we deserve what we get.

The “Internet” isn’t actually a thing. You can disrupt large portions of computer interconnectivity by targeting popular service providers and the larger traffic hubs. Because there is no central junction or single vendor or provider it isn’t really something that can be completely shut off in one brush stroke. Note that television and voice calls and all money uses the same infrastructure. Selectively shutting off somethings and not others would be even harder.

I’m guessing it doesn’t run on chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese.
