Like I think if given an installation usb and given a pc preconfigured to boot from USB, then yeah I think most modern installer wizards are idiot proof enough these days for the average computer user… but only if they were driven to install it - I.e. they were motivated and cared enough to read and understand what was on the screen, otherwise I think many would see “format installation volume” and just switch off or panic.

But for the average user to find a distro, download the correct edition, make a live usb, configure their bios for booting from usb, sort missing drivers etc, no. I very much doubt the average user could do that, let alone be educated to and motivated about the possibility in the first place.

In bad country they censor the internet so only government approved content can be viewed without using a vpn to subvert state censorship.

Why would the DoD want a Chatbot that changes at the very unstable whims of Elon musk?

I mean alot of male conservatives would unironically like these things back. (well maybe except the polio and the drugs I guess?)

I would be delighted if I saw something that whimsical and bad in the wild. It’s less asinine than a lot of other crap I do actually have to use that was designed by professionals.

Yeah in martial arts there is a concept of ‘minimum effective effort’ by various names. Essentially you do the minimum possible to be be effective in your defence/offence but withhold as much energy as possible for the next threat- that’s what this is, the minimum required effort to put out regular content to rile up the hogs. If the hogs are riled, that’s great, you’re done. Only work harder if the hogs start to question the slop.

Why is grok writing in such an annoying “hello fellow kids” voice?

Agreed, F1 and Golf are 100% sports

Define:

1. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

2. A usually challenging activity undertaken for amusement.

No way f1 and golf don’t fall into those definitions.

Hmm, not sure about bikes. Sure as a mode of cheap transport they’re very proletarian, but as a sport - it’s a rich man’s game - competitive road bikes cost (tens of) thousands.

Polo is the most reactionary (in Europe at least) with other equestrian events closely behind.

I’d say football (soccer for seppos) is the least reactionary, all it takes is:

• almost any space (a field ideally, but an road or alley or a yard etc is fine),
• a ball, (including a makeshift one made from plastic bags and twine),
• some goal makers (a T-shirt, rock, tree, painted bit of wall etc)
• and a mate

and you’re playing.

Weird wording, couldn’t you just say they’re producing as much in a month as nato in a year, or 12x nato. 3 times in 3 months is a weird way of expressing it. Why not 100x in 100 months!

Yeah I don’t own a pair either too rich for my blood, but you used to be able to find them on deals for more like $350.

I made a pair of leather Moc boots inspired by these, and really dig them - but that’s obviously not for everyone.

These are very expensive, but if well maintained will last forever. They won’t be sweaty like a goretex boot, and while goretex will be more waterproof at first, the lining breaks down from abrasion and wear and becomes a non waterproof but still sweaty layer in your shoe. Leather is obviously non vegan (boo) but is a great shoe material.

Additionally it has a relatively thin sole which should be good for driving feel.

Would have been an amazing move if al-Quadia claimed the attack and signed off with “now is the time for peace”

It’s not a war it’s an unprovoked special military operation, which we’ve now decided is good actually

Turns out for peer on peer warfare it’s still trenches and arty like it’s 1914

The Zionist project is really on the “who gon stop me?” mode.

Be it internationally - Yemen? About the only nation actually trying. No one else wants to risk the bombs falling on them next.

Or domestically - it’s publicly unpopular but what are you gonna do? The two options of Republican or Democrat are both in favour, so what exactly are you going to do? Gripe and moan and then go to work on Monday.

Either way the empire continues its Zionist agenda with only a few stiff words against it.

I use 4 Ali express generic ones that support matter and they’re great. Being matter you need a matter enabled hub for them, but also being matter that hub isn’t brand specific which is cool. They seem reliable so far (1 year in). And any matter enabled smartphone app will work to control them (I use Apple home, but google home or home assistant etc are all also available)

I like Will Smith, he raps happy.
