I can attest to this. I have two windows based computers here on my desk that are pretty much can't be upgraded or repaired. One is a low end laptop is glued shut that opening it would destroy the internal workings.

The other is a intel NUC. All the components are perm. attached to the mother board but memory and the m.2 module. It maxes out at 16 GB just like the M1 Macs do.

Does it comfort you to imagine Biden as a doddering fool?

I don't have to imagine Biden as a doddering old fool. There are plenty of videos out there that show him to be exactly that. He is just the front man and his handlers behind the scenes are the ones doing all the work. The problem with that is the handlers don't know what they are doing. They are making policy purely on popular option and identity politics. Not thinking anything through about what the consequences are going to be. Because of the incompetence of the Biden administration we have a large humanitarian crises along our southern boarder. As much of a buffoon that Trump was he was spot on about this. He said this would happen and that is exactly what happened.

I'm already awfully tired of talking about Trump.

If you are tried of talking about Trump then shut the fuck up about him. I don't have any great love for Trump and I'm glad he is gone but I'm not gong to let TDS cloud my view of reality. You should get help on that if it bothers you that much.

Now then for the correction.

Wrong. The current boarder crises is because the current administration dismantled all the policies that the previous administration put in place in one day. The system that Trump put in place was a good one and it was the correct way to handle it. The "kids in cages" started under Obama and Biden, it was Trump that put an end to it. Now that Biden is back in charge we have more "kids in cages." That is a fucking fact so deal with it. The current crises is 100% fault of the current administrations incompantance.

Funny how Trump is accused of being racist when Biden says and does things that are directly racist, liberals just ignore it like CNN. Barely anyone understands the fact that Biden was directly responsible for the crime bill that likely put hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of minority people in jail - some for life. For non-violent crimes. That is probably the 1 single "greatest" achievement Biden made in his political career, and it is one of the WORST for the people of this country. Trump was the first president to actually come along and change that with the First Step Act in 2018. That is just one item. Trump did a lot of good, regardless of those with TDS say here.

Trump had his moments. They just don't want to admit that. The problem with Trump is he just didn't know when to stop running his mouth. I call him Buffoon because in public he acted like one.

The really sad part is there where a lot of good candidates out there and the democratic party went with the worst of the lot.

I'm still annoyed about your fountain post getting modded wrong. That post was spot on about the fountain. It was nether overrated or off topic. The mod system is hopelessly broken and has been for years. From talking to some of the old time /. people that I'm still in contact with on email, the broken mod system is one of the reasons they left.

No, this actually makes sense. Think about it. The average house hold only uses so much water a month. Lets just say 1500 gallons for sake of argument. Double that and set that at the low limit of the price, with low fixed price per gallon. That 3,000 gallon per month is low end cap. Most houses will never use more than that per month.

After that rate you start setting tiers where the water per gallon based on usage gets more expensive. That way the "poor" will still have access to cheap water while the wealthy hotel will need to pay more per gallon that it "wastes" in a fountain.

I'm so sick of people using speaker phone mode to do online meetings.

Preaching to the choir. I hate that crap. I spend half the meeting asking them to repeat themselves because they sound like they are in a sewer pipe. I use logitech 935 headphones for my calls. Way over kill for the job but they sound great, have great range wireless, plus can be plugged in when needed.
