I've seen what happens when atheists take power in a country. Anyone care to relate what the usual outcome is?
Yes, they become an economic superpower and they slowly take the place of the USA on the world stage.
A very nice country, with very nice, hard-working but still fun-loving (take that, calvinists!) people, thank to them not having religious hangups and neuroses.
It was so early that it actually was printed by some service and (snail-)mailed to me...
More than 35 years ago, well before the Internet, BBSes ruled.
One I was a pillar of was nothing but a wall where you would post anonymously (or not).
The software was written to verify the typing rate to make sure that no text was uploaded
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
I wrote a special terminal program that would randomize the time between characters to foil that BBS's rejection of uploads...
(Oh, it worked, and the dude running the show never found out).
With the price of RAM shooting through the roof, I've noticed quite a few of the new low and mid-range Windows laptops are now shipping with 8gb of ram as well.
Prohibition was repealed.
I don't disagree. Personally I think the Federal government got too powerful after the civil war & we really don't even have the same type of government that the founders envisioned.
I'd be somewhat in favor of an Article 5 convention so long as any changes had to be subject to a vote like the President is elected. The Electoral Collage system is absolutely brilliant & gives the individual vote maximum power because a handful of voters can change the outcome of an entire election. If people really want something they need to get out and vote. If you stay home you can't complain if the other side doesn't.
Anyway, good luck to us all.
Well you're not wrong. Most people forget the 9th & 10th amendments and what they actually say.
9. The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
- Basically saying, "just because we listed a few specific Rights here, that doesn't mean those are the only ones The People have."
10. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
- The Federal Government is not permitted to just assume new powers because we didn't specifically restrict it here. If it's not specifically listed in this document the government cannot do it.
How far afield of these rules has the Federal strayed? How much longer will The People tolerate it?
Wait, what?
The Constitution is a restriction on the powers of the Federal Government, not on Anthropic. The Federal Government does have the ability to "regulate commerce" under what is called the Commerce Clause in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3.
I'm not sure what particular law(s) c/would apply here - if any - however I'm certain various courts might have to render a judgement.
You can. With a browser plugin called "Short Stop".
Start going after the desktop market , or at least some of it, with Steam OS 3 public release?

I've run Linux at home for YEARS!! I tend to hop between Fedora and Ubuntu. There are a bunch of other good distros. Everything works well. For simple stuff I haven't had to jump through any configuration hoops. Steam runs amazing. Caveat, I have Ryzen 7 + AMD Rx 6700Xt video so drivers are NOT an issue. The only games that do NOT work on steam are the Battlefield games. I have a windows 11 vm in case theres something that I just have to have for windows, also an old windows 11 laptop with build in nvidia GPU so I leave it win 11. If I really need something that just won't run on a linux or a vm , I have that. So far I've only had to resort to VM once. When I do want to play battlefield games I run them on the Laptop. 2TB nvme drives are cheap, so you could do the same thing with dual boot.
The last three starships have blown up... He's not launching to mars next years, he's too busy nuking the govt.
Running Fedora 41 no issues. I'm running Ryzen. Rule 1) no Winblows Rule 2) No intel crap
If it has syntax, it isn't user friendly.
