To be fair, Windows has huge, maybe even unreasonable, demands placed on it for backward compatibility due to corps not wanting to dump their 30 year old legacy software. And to Microsoft’s credit, they actually manage to do that pretty well while maintaining a reasonably stable OS. Most of the time, anyway.

The increasing interest in using Windows as a conduit for ads and data collection is what they really chafes me and is the primary reason I’m slowly moving away from Windows.

Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

I think Jon Stewart would make a great president. I also think he would probably be miserable and I would hate to do that to him.

Am American. Can confirm. In general, we are dumb as shit.

It is. It always has been to one degree or another. We’ve just gotten really lucky and apparently that luck is running out.

Kind of feels like our “crossing the Rubicon” moment. Except instead of an intellgent and accomplished general leading an army, we got a clown leading a circus.

I have an idea! Let’s put the guy whose policies partly contributed to our current economic state back in charge of everything. He’ll definitely fix it this time.

Oh, no. They will be hurt the same as everyone else but The Donald will just tell them that it’s the Democrats/immigrants/gay people’s/critical race theory’s fault and they will believe him because having someone else to blame for their problems is a lot easier than fixing their problems.

There are usually way more polling locations open on election day than during early voting. They set up polling at churches, schools, and community centers all over.

During early voting I have to go to the courthouse which is in the next town over. There aren’t any polling places in my city.

What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I’m beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven’t really thought this through.

It’s called an elephant gun because it’s for shooting elephants. Not because it’s the size of an elephant. There is no way a horses hoof or an elephants trunk will fit in the barrel of a gun thats less than an inch a single freedom unit in diameter.

But you know what will? A finger. You’re just going to want to shove it in their really good because those cartridges pack a punch.

Taxation without representation. Hmmm. Why does this sound familiar?

Say old top, that is one fine lookin’ bowl of hot bewilderment you got there.

See?? Bunch of fucking morons.
