With the projected RAM price increases this year on just about any device that uses it, I bet many buyers bought "out of cycle" to beat the increases.

He's just bombing more countries than any other president.

I'm trading one asshole for another. AT&T is currently ripping up my neighborhood, laying fiber. Nearly 20 years after they said they would.

They likely won't lose the elderly, inertia and all that. But I'll jump ship the instant it's declared 'stable'

Windows 11 is the problem.

Since humans created AI, yes, AI is part of the problem. But only because of humans.

As to what to do about it, another round of covid or something similar) should help nicely with all the anti-vaxxers out there.

Exactly what happened to my 2nd IT job. Clipboard-bearing suits came and were shown everything. 2 months later I left. 2 months after that the announcement came that the company had been sold off to a PE firm.

That PE took a 50-year old, money-making medical firm (billing, staffing, etc) and promptly ran it into an iceberg. After the carnage, it was sold yet again.. and one more time.

Now they exist in name only, a sub of a sub of a sub of some other company.

Getting bought out is almost universally undesirable. Happened to my 3rd IT job, and now they don't even exist any more, not even as 'just a name.'

The morning we all walked in and all the door signs showed the new owner's name was quite demoralizing.

Left not too long after that.

If it's not safe to merge, they did the right thing. Or should they just force their way into moving traffic?

The orange guy has given out multiple pardons to people convicted of fraud, corruption, and drug dealing after they "donated" to his campaign.

The most recent example is the former governor of Puerto Rico who plead guilty in a federal corruption case. The daughter gave over $3 million to Trump's PAC, MAGA, after which the pardon was given.

The OP was merely mentioning that with all the other criminals getting pardons after paying their tribute, apparently this group didn't give theirs.

"Never lose your users' data" is kinda Rule #1.

Steve Jobs said something similar regarding Apple OS upgrades. You never touch user data.

Not sure why this is a difficult concept to understand.

We have 8 billion+ people on the planet. We can afford to lose a billion or so and not affect our ability to advance science. Having fewer people would definitely enhance wellbeing as there would be less pollution which means cleaner air and water. Less trash would be produced as well.

Clearly we had no problem with scientific advancements when our population was lower. With what we have now, why would you think fewer people would change that?

Helmets also make it easier to ID the riders if they get squished by a truck or similar. If the head is intact you don't need to resort to DNA or teeth.

Fun fact: if you blow yourself up, your head is how they identify you because it separates from the body.

One nice thing is this will help to reduce the world's population, thus helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.

They'd be so upset if they knew they were helping the planet recover.

Citation please. Not that local airlines don't weigh passengers, they do, but because it has "an obesity problem". Again, you post pure hatred, something you are known for.

Nope, OP is correct. From 2019:

But yeah, nothing but pure hatred for an airline to realize they were burning more fuel because of overweight/obese passengers.

From 2023, a list of airlines which charge more for overweight passengers, though some do offer a refund on the extra amount under certain conditions.

Note: Southwest changed their policy to now require an overweight/obese person to purchase two seats at the time of their booking. If a passenger in need of an extra seat does not buy one before the flight, they will be required to do so at the airport.

"You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market," Doesn't sound like saving lives is their purpose

If you're going to spend $1 billion making and trialing a vaccine, why wouldn't you want a return on that investment? Do you think they should do this for free? Where would they get the money to make and trial the next vaccine or drug?

That the anti-vaxxer Kennedy has brought this on is not unexpected. No matter how much the facts show vaccines are safe and effective, he would rather see people die or be mangled for life.

Yeah, and we did we found massive fraud from 2020-2024.

Am I a traitor? Am I a spy?

If anything, the people who orchestrated the 2020 election should be shot as traitors, and the spies should be hung from the neck until dead.

They are the traitors. The people who stole our government, installed a puppet president, and again "fundamentally changed' this country.

Fixing it is putting panties in wads because each illegal deportee is one less Democrat vote, one less fraud recipient.

And fuck your incoming downvotes. Fuck them long and hard, with my favorite -- the splintered phonepole.

Fucking traitors. Fuck! Makes me want to throw up!
