While of course my Lenovo fleet is mostly from Ebay and of course runs Linux (with some Windows guests because why not?) I buy far more via Ebay.
People often part out personal vehicles and parts stashes cheaper than I can buy them from my local salvage yard buddies.
I don't even have to travel to save money. Much love for my local self-service salvage but that's also a drive so Ebay keeps winning with small sellers making bank.
I also bought my used commercial toaster for small money after my junk new Panasonic toaster oven died in a year, and repaired my Kenmore microwave with a used magnetron (then repaired my shit new Panasonic with used control board).
Submission + - Nuclear Power Now Has Bipartisan Support (reason.com)
fjo3 writes: Nuclear power has historically been a divisive issue: During the Cold War, an entire generation feared annihilation at the hands of the same basic technology that some want to use to power their homes.
That's unfortunate, because nuclear energy has considerable benefits—a reliable source of power with very few greenhouse gas emissions—with increasingly lower risks.
Thankfully, it seems that message is catching on with people from both major political parties.
"About six-in-ten U.S. adults now say they favor more nuclear power plants to generate electricity," Pew Research reported in October 2025. "That's up from 43% in 2020, driven by increasing support among both Republicans and Democrats." The authors noted that "Republicans are more likely than Democrats" to favor the policy, with "roughly seven-in-ten Republicans and Republican-leaning independents" expressing support, but it still included 52 percent of Democrats and independents who lean in that direction.

The reading comprehension fail is you failing when reading the GP. They were talking about Falcon 9 replacements being two decades behind. The implication was that nobody will catch up to Starship any time soon.

That's a truly empty headed view as nobody is getting rich on social security. What a cuck you are to be glad to watch the billionaires rape our economy.

It's nice you had just enough self awareness to write seemingly, since on some level you know it's impossible.
Too bad you weren't able to take the next step and see that greed is the problem, not helping some people meet their needs.

Most sites don't store code in the db.
Drupal used to let you do that but they took it out for security reasons.
It's a much bigger deal if they can write PHP files and then run them, because that allows them to execute arbitrary code as the Web user.
