It was written by AI? I heard it was back atleast a little bit I hadn't heard that. Damn

Ya exactly... I only point out that the emergency order cites Forest health which is laughable. It is important but this order does shit to address it of course. Just one more thing they can point to and pretend to be doing something good. No one wants the twiggy brushy lumber that needs to be cleared away after decades of mismanagement.

The forests aren't healthy... And some could indeed use proper thinning out. They've been stopped from burning naturally and remain uncut causing many tiny scrawny trees rather than large healthy forests. This makes wildfires that get out of hand that much more intense. The forests are full of perfect fire fuel. So proper thinning would be excellent in fact.

Obviously that's not what trump is gonna do tho. No need to thin if you just clear cut.

I just love ice so much I gotta tell all my friends whenever I see em!!!

You all are thinking too chinesely... We might have to fire you to save the research you're doing from China.

Quits and goes to China

No not like that

The first time in installed mint I ruined the partitions on my laptop. But that was on me.

Look at screenshots of default interfaces and pick your fave bug distro. Can't go wrong with fedora, Ubuntu, mint, pop_os etc. mint would be good since you have a friend who uses it. When you want to know how to do something you can ask.

I run arch btw

True for the friend benefit. Fun and useful to occasionally chat about it with someone who knows what's up.

Why not both

Facebook could never provide this niche primo drama

He was always brilliant in Star Trek. Especially as adult Jake sisko in DS9. That episode is a fave

China announcing 5nm process fab in like 5 years... Wait that's illegal.

I just applied to one but just got the news I'm not moving forward so I'm a lil sad. But hey I can only hope they choose people actually better suited. I'll get em next time

I give my comrades a lil cash when they need it

Also try and join a SAR team but alas going nowhere fast with that

Do you know who the president is right now while the US gleefully enables the murders tens of thousands of children?

Both lovely. I really dog the second

I do not expect restraint from him but I also see no restraint from the current administration.

I hope you will realize you do in fact have more choices than voting for genocidal candidate A or B.

I'm not the voting police I don't care how you rationalize voting or not but regardless be clear eyed and realize what you are doing. If a genocide is an acceptable amount of baggage for a candidate to have that can be a choice you make but make no mistake about what you are accepting.

To the quotes from Trump about Kamala working tirelessly on a ceasefire... He's lying. No she isn't. If she somehow has been she has been both utterly ineffective and for some reason totally silent on her efforts. Trump lies all the time. If she was doing that it would be good but Trump is lying.

He's also not specific about what additional support it is he'd give Israel. I don't really believe he could give them more than Biden and Harris are. What, materially, could he do for them that Biden would refuse to? He didn't offer specifics atleast.

Democrats, including Kamala, have insinuated that Pro Gaza protesters are terrorists and called them antisemitic. Under Biden police brutalized and allowed the brutalizing of protestors by right wing mobs. Again this is Trump more or less agreeing with the Democrats. He's not offering specifics about how he'd be worse. He's promising to be but that's just because he wants to talk to his base.

And as to the last point regarding US troops... Well Biden is currently sending a THAAD missle defense system that necessarily requires American troops to operate. So looks like we heading there under the Democrats for sure.

My backup is begging my computer to implode so I can experience the sweet relief of getting offline.

But also I use external discs and make copies of important files I can't recreate. Don't care too much about config as I am happy enough to distro hop and set things up anew.
