This is brilliant. Please send them an email with this idea.

Ahh, thank you.

It is extremely complex, requires half a dozen countries just to do, and requires incredible education and extremely long work hours.

Does anyone know if the m.2 SSD is replaceable with something like a 2230 1tb SSD from a non-apple source?

That, and your state and city elections matter and might be direct votes, which matter a ton now that the government is going to largely become permanently scarred and damaged for decades or longer.

Four years to fix a global pandemic and undo some of the trump admin damage.

That was the bipartisan infrastructure act to shore up stuff like roads, bridges and more, the IRA to address inflation, climate goals (freed up a ton of money for green infrastructure, replacing outdated equipment at factories like gas smelters and furnaces) and more, the CHIPS and science act to counter china and restart manufacturing here in the US, as well as smaller stuff like debt relief for students, consumer protections against banks and airlines, and repealing DOMA via respect of marriage act for interracial and queer families.

In addition to conquering covid and rescuing a crashing economy in 2020. He realistically did most of this in two years because Republicans blocked them at the midterms.

Not to mention a lot of anti-competitve and merger blocks that would have fucked our country, like having one grocery store brand across the entire US. (These will probably go through in a trump admin)

He wasn’t able to get it all done, but he had one arm tied behind his back and still got a decent amount done before they got hamstrung.

Paramilitary is stretching it a bit, stuff like shooting guns is optional and with guidelines from the sane past. It plays an anemic role in the BSA, tbh.

The vast majority of boy scouts is learning constructive things like how to cook, how to perform first aid on someone who got injured in a car accident or hike, how to use a map and compass if you get lost, and basic financial planning so you aren’t an idiot with money.

In short, it prepares you for life and situations where someone might freeze up if they don’t know what to do in an emergency. It also makes people fluent with the outdoors and feel comfortable spending time outside of the big city.

Tldr; it’s a group that prevents incel or gang behavior and helps people make friends.

JD doesn’t have a spine. Due to childhood trauma, he adapted to whatever POS stepdad needed him to be, and still exhibits similar qualities as an adult. Not a good leadership quality in stressful situations, lol.

Hell of an uphill battle against MQ-9s, hellfire, and LRAS.

Too many people stayed home when they should have voted. It was their civic duty and moral goddamn obligation to the rest of the world. Fuck…

They’ve already done it to gay and trans people. Last time the Muslim ban was foiled by the courts. Now that the Republicans control the presidency, the SC, the house and Senate, little stands in their way. Project 2025’s Schedule F will see to that.

Some states did an amazing self-own tonight, and unfortunately both teams are going to endure some severe beatings. I feel absolutely sick right now. Poor us. Poor Ukraine. Poor middle east. Taiwan is so fucking boned.

Perhaps a small meteor will just take DC out in January. 1,600 feet across would do it. Horrible thing, but it would spare us the trouble.

We fought hard and carried the team as best we could. We probably won’t be eating as much curb as some states, but fucking frustrating as hell that some Americans can’t get their shit together for 12 goddamn minutes. It’s like half the country forgot how bad 2020 was, not to mention the insane shit that went down day in and day out for years.

I hope, HOPE that we have the privilege of voting in four years, and that by some miracle, the president, Senate and house and SC (all projected to be Republican) somehow forget to fuck with our election system.

Pour one out for America and Ukraine, and the Middle East in general. And Taiwan.

Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together, we might be out of this one permanently. Or we might have a very long recovery time spanning decades. Such fucking bullshit.

It fucks with me in that I lose focus, but it’s depressing AF to work while the sun is shining and leave as it’s going down. I’m not a farmer, give me that mf sunlight back so I can hang out with friends :p

China recently deflated and is still having problems. It’s incredibly dangerous because it causes a negative feedback loop. Prices go down -> people wait to get a better price on something -> prices sink further -> people wait longer -> your economy starts stalling out and going into a nosedive.

Nobody wants to be the chump holding the bag if they buy an apartment for $50k and it drops to $20k in the next five months. :/

If deflation worked, everyone would be doing it, and we’d still be using half-cent coins just like the family in Little House on the Prairie did. (Which would kinda be awesome, I’d love to pay a half-cent for an orange.)

Tbh, I’m fine with big AAAA games burning in financially, like Anthem or Redfall. The AA games from smaller devs are great, and I just don’t buy the next game if they buy out a smaller studio and all the OG devs go on to building a new company. That’s how we got games like Half Life, when MSFT devs got sick of working for a mega company and decided to build their own game.

If they buy out a studio and all the devs leave and form a new studio with the proceeds of the prior studio, it means more quality indie titles.

Stuff like this is probably mostly tech demo, but there are instances where it could make jobs safer (hot work in locations with corrosive or explosive gases nearby, such as at a chemical plant, underwater welding site, responding to gas leaks, etc.

Watch the USCSB channel on YouTube for good examples of dangerous jobs, such as putting out uncontrolled chemical fires, or performing hot work during the most dangerous times at chemical plants, when stuff is shut down for maintenance and might still be leaking catalysts. Robots could save lives.

Honestly, probably brain damage. Getting big head trauma can make people prone to rage and become less empathetic. Not everyone, of course. But the brain is complex, and some types of brain damage can really affect someone’s personality and mental capabilities.

Trump needs to wash his hands before manhandling the meals, lol.

Damn, listeria meat, listeria waffles, ecoli at McDonald’s…we need tighter food regulations. This is getting insane.
