bought a refurbished 5 year old Thinkpad via Amazon for $150. put linux on it, no regrets

get new friends or develop thicker skin,

cold smoke ftw

mile high club soon to no longer be an unlockable achivement.

Change Course sounds like a ripoff of Speed, but leaning more towards Battle Royale than Snakes on a Plane. strip out the NK nonsense and it’d be a decent scifi flick.

asserting dominance

so like a psyop

sounds like a conspiracy theory

X + 4 at minimum but it’s very situationally dependent.

really? I like BoA - the tellers are friendly and I’ve never really had any issues with extra fees. been with them for over 20 years now

it tastes good and it’s convenient - not all places have a wide variety of restaurants

“organic” is largely a marketing term - there’s no real conclusive evidence that organic foods are healthier.

AMD, for the last 17 years. I had an ATI card and it broke so I needed to RMA it but thats when AMD bought them out & the RMA’d card failed as well, within 48 hours - so I RMA’d again and again, same issue. RMA’d again and again, same issue. tossed the card & started using only Nvidia and have never had an issue since. fuck AMD.

cant think of anything I actively boycott, though I do avoid products that have overly enthusiastic marketing campaigns.

Guant’s Ghosts - Dan Abnett

it’s warhammer 40k but it doesnt really focus on space too much, other than they always travel through space to get from one battlefield to the next. lots of mud & blood trench warfare.

restaurant food is basically normal food with a metric fuckton of butter, sugar, and salt added

so leverage allies then - I’m sure the US would be happy to give a few pallets of medium range drones

there’s a few different reasons that I can see

• there were fewer people total, so fewer bands - ie: less trash to sort through / increased popularity

• there’s arguably more things to protest about nowadays but because of that there’s fewer things that both resonate with a lot of people and sound good at the same time

• if everyone is protesting, no one is. there’s too many different slogans being called out, too many different groups to support (ie: buy the album or give them radio time), and many of those groups are at odds with each other.

• technological advancement - radio is seen as a dead medium to many these days, there are far more ways to consume media than to listen to the radio. it may be that protest songs just dont air on the radio for that reason alone - their target demographic doesnt listen to radio.

why dont they just airdrop supplies in? drones arent that expensive - especially not when you’re destroying China’s face on the international stage.

not fast enough, clearly
