Dang, i was apparently writing my smarmy version of this same amusing response at the same time.

If Lockheed Martin made a GameBoy could you AFFORD it? Milled from a single piece of titanium, hardened again EMP, sealed against sand, operating temperature range of of -20c to 80c. With 3 o4 parts secretly and illegally source from China ( because no US based vendor ). $30,000.

Best place to get: butter olive oil flour sugar whole black pepper corns coffee filters vanilla extract capers vinegar box wine ( for cooking) Dijon mustard garbage bags food service film aluminum foil parchment paper tomato: sauce, paste, stewed Regiano Parm aged cheddar whole prime ribs and filets pork shoulder whole chickens whole salmon filets bacon I promise you I cook far far more than you do. They are an invaluable source of high quality reasonably priced staples you pompous twit. Go back to Trader Joes and buy another snack ( though thir organic cream is nice )

I guess the obvious difference for all your straw man alternate spending programs; nuclear and other green power, medical research, roads, bridges are... there are tangible benefits for society. Do remember we have anti-trust laws that used to breakup business that became so large that they stifled competition and innovation. Your classic "But what-about" argument is silly.

In a complete topic hijack, I ask; Which problem are you solving by repealing the 17'th amendment, and what do you expect the result to be? Asked entirely without snark or commentary.

I bet you do other stuff good two

A non sequitur (English: /nn skwtr/ non SEK-wit-r, Classical Latin: [non sktr]; "[it] does not follow") is a conversational literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it,[1] seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing.

Nope. Not a religion. It is actually science. This means it is based on evidence, and it evolves the predictions based on new evidence as it become available. Science it pretty cool, you should look into it; it's good for more than just making bombs n bigger TVs n stuff. Brondo! it's got 'lectolytes n stuff that plants need!

It may be VALUED at $20 Billion .... but is it WORTH that? Somehow I doubt it, VA Linux indeed.

Of course its wrong, the correct answer is of course to run OpenBSD.

I buy DVD's and BlueRays. I like to own the "Right to Use" the content. I like not to have to rely on a given provider to have a contract to to stream content in order to be able to watch to something. I will watch some shows and movies multiple times. So for a certain core set up media I want to own the media. All that crufty back catalogue of movies and shows that is no longer available on streaming services, mine to see at any time of my choosing. I even ( GASP ) buy actual books from time to time, it seems as though there is SOME content not yet kindlified, that may in fact never be on those platforms. The streaming / sharing / caring economy will eventually strip you of any remaining un-curated choice in what you read, watch, or listen to. Seems as though there is some music not published the day before yesterday thats worth listening to. So yes I own many hundreds of CD's as well.
