Well, the truth is out… looking for some Republican outrage concerning the war on Christmas… Nobody? Yeah that’s what I thought… Go back to bitching at your Starbucks cashier.

Infinite Money Glitch?

My brother in IRE was damn near beside himself a few days ago when there was drone activity off the coast. The Irish Times article seemed quite stoic, but I imagine the TV was blowing up with bate.

Going to pay him a visit in a few months… hopefully I can still fly my little DJI when the time comes, been dreaming of this vacation for years 😅

FFS! Spend them 😝

I was pretty surprised it was that low. I think there’s a 500W power supply in there. I never measured it when it was my desktop and had GPU.

Oh yeah… RAM and SSD are upgraded in those systems. At least the GMK cubes. I use those as clients for the media server. Delightfully easy too, the top just pulls off, SSD and RAM are right there.

Some models have EMMC storage that isn’t upgradeable but they also have an SSD.

My 14 year old intel system with 5 hard drives uses 78 Watts… which is less than a 90 Watt lightbulb :-) I’ve got LED bulbs that pull more than 7 ;-)

56 “…this is the age a man begins to achieve true power in life.”

Yeah, can’t say I’ve ever seen the sense in it.

That sucks… but you hit the nail on the head at the end. He doesn’t have much choice, he’s surrounded by it, marinated in it… it will always be easier to choose hate and ignorance. Understanding and compromising take work, MAGA lets you hate almost anything and still be welcomed.

I mean… neurodegenerative diseases suck. To be fair 60ish percent of them were always going to end up yelling at children to get off their lawns.

After eating dinner I’m not feeling great about my comment… but yeah, waiting for them to die and trying to fix the damage is basically my plan.

I mean lots of old people go quietly insane… the world moves on and doesn’t want their “wisdom.” MAGA feels like a club or a religion, it’s accepting as long as you want to own the libs or whatever.

It’s a simple version of America that feels like the good old 50/60’s… family values, beating the communists.

To answer your question, I tell myself they will be dead soon. We need to focus on saving the country, not our folks. Let them go.

Beta testing the residual self image filter… your boobies have been inserted into the matrix.

I… horses are kind of a big deal there. They sort of conquered the world with them long before the best of the Drumph DNA was running down some rape victims leg.

Get some perspective bud ;-)

Take your pick:

3 years old I took a corner to fast at Mervins and almost took out my right eye on a glass shelf, 2 stitches.

6 years old I tried to do a backwards wheelie on my bike by jamming my foot in the front fork… while going down hill and carrying a load of oranges in my shirt. Went right over the handlebars, came to a stop on my chin. 13 stitches.

[…] I really wanted a broken arm, so people could sign my cast, but I never quite managed to break anything.

oxygen thief.

I’ve died laughing 🤣 😵

… Then all the kings horses And all the kings men Slipped in his albumen

Yeah, I wasn’t going to go and call that case-closed; industry tactics exposed, story at 11:00. It’s a theory and intentional or not (misspellings) I think there’s a definite possibility it’s working as described in some cases.

I like the SaaS theory too, ransomware clearly operates using exactly that model… unfortunately there’s been a few investigations and a lot of it is just the intersection of actual and economic slavery. I suspect there’s some of what you propose as well, why not, right? If we can dream it up somewhere somebody’s probably trying it. But I’d also wager that once you achieve any real proficiency at this kind of low level scam, there’s opportunity in organized computer crime, spearfishing and pretexting scams, operations with more sophisticated planning.

Never even occurred to me but it seems obvious now thst you’ve mentioned it.
