Apropos of nothing, did you know that, while the president himself gets secret service protection, many of the cronies he relies on to do his bidding do not? Just a funny observation.

I also have one like that somewhere.

Why does pinko commie Kier Starmer hate property rights?

Its an absolutely awful way of tackling the problem of sexting and cross sharing of nudes.

Almost as if that’s just an excuse and not the actual goal. 🤔

Authoritarian Island

That’s “Airstrip One” to you, prole!

Deadheading your rose makes it bloom more.

(Deadheading isn’t the same as just removing petals, but let’s just ignore that.)

I found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you’ll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.

That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I’m not sure there even is such a thing as a “small” color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.

(* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)

the larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light

To be fair, just because the controlling factor is mechanical strength rather than current capacity doesn’t mean the need for heavier gauge wire isn’t legitimate.

Possibly more complicated than OSes.

(Depends on the browser, and possibly what counts as the scope of the “OS.” For example, you could be comparing GNU/Linux+wayland+KDE to Netscape 1.0, or you could be comparing modern Firefox to QDOS.)

Remember, a modern web browser contains a Javascript VM, which arguably makes it an OS in and of itself.

The UK stole those islands from the Chagossians. The UK doesn’t have the right to sell them to the US or anyone else to begin with!

LOL, they’re making a game about “outpost scientists”?!

Like USian over American…I get it but it sounds stupid

Frank Lloyd Wright tried to popularize “Usonian,” but it never made it past the context of architecture.

Yeah, you’re right, that’s the best thing.

Still, I got curious and looked it up: the most notable things lately were that he got disbarred two years ago, got injured in a car wreck last year, and had a bad case of pneumonia last month (unfortunately, he apparently recovered).

But yes, getting a president with XX chromosomes will fix everything

Fuck all the way off with your sexist bullshit. Hillary’s problems had nothing to do with her genitalia and everything to do with her anti-working-class neoliberal policies.

We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I’ve been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It’s almost as if boycotts aren’t enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

What’s he up to these days, anyway? Has the black ichor that used to be his brain finished leaking out of his head yet?

Eh, he was kinda right the first time: the less capable you are at critical thinking (I.e. understanding what they’re actually doing), the more vulnerable you are to their bullshit.

Revoke Sony’s corporate charter? Ban Sony products from being imported? Criminally charge the CEO and board?

There’s no way the roof rack is rated for that much weight (let alone sloshing around).
