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.

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.

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.

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.

I hate fixing other people's code. It is one of the reasons I don't like letting an AI write my code first draft either.

I think amenities fees should be illegal. When I asked what amenities, they said "housekeeping, the free wifi, the exercise room".

Was this book written by someone who died, or did they interview a bunch of people who died? Otherwise how do they know?
