I switched to Nobara a couple months ago. My computer is a lot snappier. Overall its great. Some minor difficulties but no show stoppers.

Signal desktop gives me an error that it is keeping credentials in plaintext which is fucked, I tried to get it to not do that but havnt been able to figure out how. (there are tutorials for ubuntu/gnome, but I havnt figured out how to translate those to fedora/kde…

I just started using crow-translate which is amazing, but keep getting a screenshot error message. Something with wayland maybe? again when I search there is a lot of shit about ubuntu/gnome but that doesnt really help.

Risotto isn’t complex per se, but 20-30 minute of stiring/babysitting isn’t exactly easy.

Also more protein in wheat compared to rice. Actually a lot more nutrients in wheat compared to rice.

Beef barley soup is delicious

So don’t attack the pawns, recruit them.

There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.

Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military

Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail

Oregon was founded as a whites only state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Oregon

Ice cold Barley tea is the best. I sometimes mix barley tea and iced-tea (black tea).

It bugs me that there is this generic description of ‘files’ and I don’t think I’ve heard discussions of what to expect. Funancial records? Client lists? Blackmail material?

We know big banks helped him by not reporting transactions they were legally required to. If the financial records aren’t released it’s bullshit. Always follow the money. Name and shame those who proffited from him.

I see a lot of (often well deserved) shit talk about centrists/middle ground. Honestly, it IS silly to talk about middle ground between reason and raw hate. I do, however, doubt myself if I look around and find myself spouting the most extreme ideas on a given topic. How isnt that scary to people? I dont want to be the fanatic. I was raised with talk about the middle path and the golden mean. Virtue in courage is found between recklessness and cowardice. I still subscribe to that notion, but absolutely recognize how one can lull themselves into false means based on the prevailing culture (Overton window). Still, I dont see how it is that hard to have some bedrock principals, and use those to anchor a true middle ground.

Faster than what? What did they race? All they say is an equivalent vehicle. How did they choose that?

You know they make engines with displacements from 7L to more than 12 L. You can get a suped up 1200 HP powerplant that would blow this out of the water. Would that be a fair comparison? Obviously not. Is this? Impossible to say with the info provided.

I suspect that ‘equivalent’ is doing a LOT of heavy lifting.

Simple fillets vs these obnoxious complex curves. Yeah I’m right there with you.

yeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don’t think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn’t that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

This isn’t the first time they have tried this

The act makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools, and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.”

So if I ran a PRIVATE daycare, I couldn’t refuse to accept people who weren’t vaccinated? I knew this was stupid, it always, but I am just blown away by how stupid. The layers of dumb are confusing.

California has the largest population of Republican voters in the US (couldn’t find numbers for Texas, I think they don’t have voter party declarations?) https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-voters-have-a-party-affiliation/

Its fair to call Harris out on her support of Israel. It is bullshit to say she is why we have Trump. We are why we have Trump.

He is a moron to be sure, but crashes like this make opportunities for those with means to gobble up the big stuff cheap. Sure ground beef is expensive as fuck right now but I bet the wagu steak hasn’t changed nearly as much. Hell when the economy is going well the rabble want a taste of the good stuff. Better to keep them in their place.
