Wow! That’s impressive!

Well, now we know to never buy RGB SSDs.

The open-source stuff is better.

Why?

Which server were you talking about when you said your server has 156GB of RAM?

I know. That’s my point. A great example of this is when they used to brag about how eco-friendly their product were. I remember them bragging about their displays being mercury-free, BFR free, etc and their laptops having totally recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures - only to later deliberately make their laptops nearly impossible to repair and upgrade.

Ah.

8GB

My server has 8GB of RAM and it rarely even gets up to 4GB of actual RAM usage.

They didn’t switch to USB-C out of the goodness of their hearts. They switched because the EU passed a new law that requires that new smartphones have USB-C ports.

My definition of financial freedom is not being dependent on an employer. It’s being wealthy enough to be able to walk away from crappy jobs however long it takes to find a better one.

What do you think would happen if there weren’t any cheap foreign laborers and local folks refused to work until compensation and conditions improved?

For the record - I don’t hate immigrants. I hate companies for cutting way more jobs than necessary and then using cheap imported labor as an excuse to pay less.

They’re more like ancient Jews than followers of Jesus.

2008 wasn’t just a bad year. The job market never fully rebounded after 2008. A big part of this is that a lot of jobs were outsourced and not nearly enough real, lasting job creation occurred afterward. Haven’t you heard about the Great Resignation and the Great Attrition? Do you know why two interconnected events occurred? Because ever since 2008, companies have been exploiting their workers by overworking, underpaying, and mistreating them. People got tired of accepting those conditions and the extra social spending allowed them to effectively strike. How were companies able to exploit their workers like that? By not having enough jobs. If there were more jobs, companies wouldn’t be able to take advantage of their employees. Bringing in more potential workers would only serve to exacerbate the situation.

Just as Democrats aren’t a monolith, Republicans also aren’t a monolith.

Some definitely are fascists and totalitarians, like the ones who want to ban birth control. Christofascism isn’t just a left-wing boogeyman. It’s real. Some Christians are ironically very unchristian.

You obviously haven’t been in the job market in the last 15 years.

Well, that’s what happens when you hyperbolically mislabel your political opponents as Nazis. Suddenly, half the country is Nazis because they don’t want unlimited and unfiltered immigration.

The media has been trashy for ages. You gotta check out a book from the 70’s called The Mind Managers by Herbert Schiller.

If you don’t know what you’re drinking, it’s probably dark roast. Dark roast is like charcoal compared to light roast.

The coffee most folks use (i.e. Folgers, Maxwell House) is low-quality coffee made in haste to keep the price low enough for folks to be willing to buy it. They only offer darker roasts because disguise the inferior nature of the beans, or rather the inferior process. The unfortunate truth is that good coffee costs more to process because it takes longer to process and most folks don’t want to spend that much on coffee. So, you get what you pay for.
