"diesel engines are known for being especially difficult to start in cold."

When I was in the Army in Korea in 1985/86 one of the duties on the duty roster was to start every vehicle in the motor pool every 4 hours and run it for half an hour to keep it warm. Nothing like getting up at 0200 on a Sunday morning to spend an hour in the motor pool.

America is now filled with a bunch of willfully ignorant assholes Within a few years there will no facts in American media, only content If you arenâ(TM)t a member of the wealthy elite and donâ(TM)t want to live as a slave, GTFO now The fact is most Americans are slaves they are just too farking blind to see it If you hate whatâ(TM)s going on, but feel powerless to do anything meaningful because âoeyou have rent to payâ â" youâ(TM)re a fucking slave and should just STFU because your opinion does not matter, because uou speak empty words, have no autonomy and youâ(TM)re just worthless trash by choice

Yes, buying. I lived in Cedar City Utah and first encountered Linux in a RedHat 2.0 beige box at a gaming store in Red Cliffs Mall in St George. Probably in 1994 or 5. Came with a couple of manuals, a boot floppy, and a CD. Had the 0.95 kernel. Getting dial-up configured was interesting since the ISP only knew about Trumpet Winsock... Then leaving it running for a few hours in the evening to update everything.

Within a week I was at the local BN buying O'Reilly books.

Why didnâ(TM)t the âoetechâ setup automated backups? That shouldâ(TM)ve been #1 on the agenda after services were restored. And wouldâ(TM)ve been an easy sell at the time. So did they âoenever learnâ, or did the geniuses they hired to fix their shit not give a shit about best practices and were happy to do the bare minimum and leave their hapless clients to their own devices? Frankly, I am fucking done with the tech industry. Fucking jackholes, sociopaths and scumbags from top to bottom. The fact that itâ(TM)s the mid 2020s and our security standards as a whole are just as abysmal as they were in the 80s, perhaps worse But at least our top tech visionaries have shifted from âoemaking everyoneâ(TM)s lives betterâ to âoefuck you, you filthy animals, weâ(TM)re going to take away everyoneâ(TM)s jobs then subjugate you all under autocracy and slaveryâ So yeah. Everything had gone to shit and I concede the MAGAts might be right. Burning everything to the ground might in fact be the only thing Americans are capable of doing at this point.

Itâ(TM)s information warfare. Itâ(TM)s a fraud meant to deceive and cause harm Spreading lies to influence public opinion or obtain political votes should be a felony Conducting Information Warfare against the people should put one well within Enemy Combatant status and earn one a trip to Gitmo. These are acts of warfare against my rights and freedoms and my democracy. Itâ(TM)s violence against the people and a form of hate speech Enough with these enemies of democracy who want to drive us to civil war and/or enslave use under authoritarians for their shits and giggles

Our Government knows full well the dangers snd effects of Information Warfare, yet they do nothing Our CIA used information warfare to radicalize college students and the youth to depose their own democratically elected leader and reimpose the Shah. We have used these tactics around the world to conduct âoeregime changeâ and are commonly known as âoedirty tricks campaignsâ Yet our government stands by and does nothing as parties such as Alex Jones and other âoeinfluencerâ pieces of shit radicalize Americans against their own democracy, rights and freedoms. We have the PATRIOT Act. USE IT! Lock these pieces of shit up in Gitmo and water board them and do your Abu Graib rapey bits. Because thatâ(TM)s what these people deserve. They are enemy combatants who want to take away our rights, our freedoms and our way of life for shits and giggles Do you value your rights? Do you value being able to live free and not under the boot heel of a fascist, hateful piece of shit like Trump or Musk? Do you want to see our democracy and way of life maintained? Or would you prefer to see it all burned down and live as an actual slave under the rule of sociopathic, hateful tyrants that view the common man as trash? Itâ(TM)s high time the tolerance of these acts of warfare against the people, against democracy and against common decency is ended and the enemy combatants are rounded up and dealt with We have the laws and the institutions, use them. Our democracy and very way of life is at stake. And start treating lies by politicians and media to sway politics and public opinion as fraud and start charging the perpetrators with felonies. Enough is a fucking nuff. This isnâ(TM)t free speech itâ(TM)s hate speech and information warfare

So letâ(TM)s burn democracy and the bill of rights to the ground right now. TRUMP 2024! Freedoms are for rich people, the billionaires. Letâ(TM)s stop deluding ourselves and accept slavery, because thatâ(TM)s the future for pieces of shit like you who are already slaves, just too self centered and ignorant to realize it yet

Iâ(TM)m a techie and I visualize in my head, not just âoeseeâ an apple but see it being thrown by people, see it spinning the air, and also hear various sounds it might make like a crisp crunch when being bitten into or a dull thud when it hits the ground. Iâ(TM)m also able to conceptualize. I started off as an artist, doing character design and animation, but self taught to become a programmer. Yes, I am an autodidact, and quickly went from learning PHP and MySQL to being a Software Architect, because I simply get it and understand as you said, the inner workings, but what separates me from other software devs, is the ability to think conceptually about complex systems with many moving parts and interdependencies. Something a good many devs simply lack the ability to do. Iâ(TM)ve always been a bit different. This article puts a lot of that into perspective, perhaps most people can either visualize or conceptualize. I can do both easily. I also âoeprogramâ my subconscious to wake me up at a given time, recall forgotten info, feed me info or help solve more perplexing problems. I already know most people do not do that. However, now I wonder if a good many people simply canâ(TM)t.

Iâ(TM)ve always been able to visualize. Not just still images, but entire âoevideosâ complete with sound. Itâ(TM)s easy and effortless. I also have an inner monologue. Frankly, I find it disturbing that thereâ(TM)s people who lack these abilities. Seems that no, people are not alike or equal and there may in fact be two separate subspecies. How do people think creatively or independently for that matter if they can not visualize or think internally? Is it just blank void up there for these people? How many of the people are deeply religious, vote Trump, or just slavishly obey anyone with wealth or power? This needs to be studied out much further, it could explain some of the more fucked up, insane things about humanity, our motivations and penchant for self destruction and tribalism

These are terrorists who want to destroy Capitalism and the American Dream! This is America god dammit. Itâ(TM)s every man woman and child for themselves. Charity for and collective action by the tax paying class should be criminal.

So, some no name Hungarian telecom decided theyâ(TM)d experiment by creating a âoetest poolâ of a small number of employees who operated out of sync with everyone else and it didnâ(TM)t work out? OMG! 4 Day Workweek is a sham! Alert the middle managers! But first youâ(TM)ll need to read about this behind our paywall. Because access to our disinformation is for the elite only.

Anyone that thinks any of these "climate resolutions" were anything more than glad handing and giving patronage to an angry teenage girl is a fucking idiot. Our World Leaders are owned by the wealthy elite who don't care how many millions die due to the climate change they are creating at an ever increasing rate. You want you and your family to survive? Then it's time to band together and take direct action against they world governments and wealthy elite, with violence if necessary. This isn't time for some hippy-dippy protest, it's time to rise up and strike back out of Self Defense. Because they are taking direct actions to kill possibly hundreds of millions, even billions through their industries that are driving the climate crises. They are literally willing to conduct mass slaughter for profit. Why lay down and take it just so 20k or so people can make a profit off a crises they are creating? Stand up and defend yourselves, because no one else will.

What books are "the left" banning? Give us a list and cite your sources ... it's ok, I'll wait

They've always known it's not a hoax. They just don't care how many die due to heat, drought and famine, so long as they and the wealthy elite they serve can extract as much wealth from the economy before the collapse of society starts and can hopefully do away with Democracy and force as many people as possible into slavery in their "Neo-Feudalist" paradise where they can live the good life as "God-Kings" without the tyranny of pesky laws, government oversight and "human rights" to deal with
