Windows is unfortunately still better for gaming. Full stop. I still use both in different settings. Fuck Apple though.

One of my earliest experiences with the Internet was seeing a picture of a country girl in cowboy boots with a carrot up her ass and an ear of corn stretching her pussy. It was 1991. I also played bridge with people in Asia in the middle of the night.

Are you young and have no assets? Because managing risk is an adult thing to do. I used to pirate, but decided the risks outweigh the rewards for me at this time. I might again someday, but not today.

I have Netflix, Prime & Hulu. I’m ready to drop all 3 but my wife enjoys some of their trash. I’m tolerating it, for now.

Same. It’s been at least 35 years since I drank a glass of cow juice.

As an anti-aurhoritarian I’ve been of the opinion that that we’ve been an authoritarian hell hole for pretty much all of my life. Yes Trump is a fascist but the government is also heavy-handed when Democrats are in power. If you’re encouraged that almost half of the votes went to authoritarian Harris, I’d say you shouldn’t be. She wasn’t a leftist, honestly I think of her as a little bit fascist too, just less ironically puritan.

I’ve been moving over a few machines but some software isn’t easy to just switch. I have at least a dozen more to move, and a few machines I’m going to keep on Windows for now.

I’m daily feeding a 15yo boy, two 17yo girls, a 20yo girl, a cat, and my wife and I. I thought my monthly food spending was too high 20 years ago when we were just expecting our first kid, we ate out a little more than we needed to. I’m spending triple that now, almost never eating out, and I make less than I did 20 years ago too. It’s completely unsustainable.

If we took away strawmanning, there wouldn’t be much Internet left.

Yeah I eat quite a few plant-based meals but I’m glad they’re vegetarians who are okay with dairy and eggs and not fully vegan. I don’t know if I could afford two vegans in the house on top of the other four of us. Food costs are crazy right now. I think having hand raised backyard chickens who love to be held and love to give their eggs, that made the difference. Not all poultry farming or milk production is traumatic. If I could get a little more land I’d think about a few milk cows so I could make my own cheese.

My problem is we have three teenagers of our own plus an extra one who lives with us 60% of the time. Two of them are vegetarian but eat eggs for protein. The rest of us just like eggs. We go through about 3-4 dozen a week.

Men are killed more often. But men generally have less fear. We go boldly unto death.

Gangs drive murder rates. Looking at areas in the US without gang activity, the murder rate is almost as low anywhere else in the world.

I get about 10-15 spam calls a day, but I do have two business lines forwarded to my personal phone too. If I do answer a call from a number I don’t know because I’m expecting a call, and it turns out to be spam I just hang up immediately.

It doesn’t have to be a gun show, can be anywhere. I’ve legally purchased a handful of guns in random parking lots.

I’ll take Pellegrino. But the devil didn’t make carbonated water, he made Canada Geese,

So, a number approaching zero? I’d cede the point if people from other parts of the Americas were wanting to be called American. But they overwhelmingly don’t.

That’s essentially what I have been doing. You’d be surprised how many predators still roam the suburbs though. I have lost chickens to raccoons, opossums, hawks, dogs and foxes.

My only real suggestion is check your zoning. I was operating in a kind of grey area but I have known people who had to get rid of their chickens to avoid daily fines. Getting well set up for chickens is a bit of work, I wouldn’t want to do that in vain.
