There's this thing called maintenance... I've seen cars from the 20's driving around just fine (including the old Pan Motors cars).

Remember, bid too high and you get nothing... bid too low, you get ripped off (this is one of those things big contractors know).

Exactly... and, does your local fire department have Halon for just such a reason?

I can't remember the last time I saw an ICE car on fire... it's called "taking care of the car"... y'know, replacing a rotting fuel line, changing the oil, topping up the power steering fluid and brake fluid and ATF (massive hint: they're the same fluid) checking the tires, stuff like that.

Called it!
If I was there, I'd demand 4X pay to come back and fix their major f-up.

You say that's too much?
Which of us has a SCSI card and tape drive working in Win10?

And, why would they want nukes?
Oh, because everyone else has them and they want to defend themselves?

I'm not defending Trump, you're villifying him... there's a _slight_ difference.

If your buddy Harris would've been anti-immigration, she might've won.

And........... links?

Let's get this clear: nothing gets better or cheaper.
You rig didn't get a life extension.

Whatever amount is in your rig is going to be what you can get until the prices come down on 'puny' RAM.
And, those prices aren't gonna come down for a long time, if ever.
There's always gonna be AI, and it will always get first dibs on whatever faster RAM becomes available.

(And, this is posted by someone with a Threadripper 3960X, 128gigs of DDR4, and a Titan X)

Somehow, I seem to remember this from like 2005 or so.

Bet you feel much more safer in a thing with a battery that can't be extinguished (and the dashcams will catch your screaming as you burn up).

Wow... geez... I couldn't have ever predicted that!

Just accept rsilvergun (and his AC trolling) and move on.

Umm... what predictions?
Are you really going to start in on the whole "the Bible says" thing?

Oh... and, I'm not the one continuously try to change the subject.
And, where's those links I asked for?

Sure, I get my flu shot yearly, and if there's a new COVID shot, I'll do that... but I'm not hiding in my apartment bathing in hand sanitizer goop.

Pre-industrial or even before that

Bet you'd rather have Harris bumbling her way through speeches.
What would her policy be on immigrants? How about giving other countries nukes?

But... back to the topic... nuclear power (and fusion, if the fusion outfits get enough funding) is what we need.

How about the false-flag war to find WMDs that weren't there?
How'd that one turn out? Who slapped their company name on the oil wells?
