You have a small brain.

And you appear to have little to NO sense of humor.

Lighten up Francis....

your right to have unnecessary emissions ends where my lungs begin.

Earth is a BIG planet.....I PROMISE I won't drive anywhere near you and your lungs....

;)

In China nothing is brutal since over 30 years.

Unlike USA it is a fine working striving democracy -

LOL...PLEASE tell me you weren't able to actually type that without at least a smile on your face....

If you were actually serious...I have to tell you you're a bit too late for 1984, doublespeak and rewriting history daily

A few months ago I picked up a Mac Mini M4 with 24GB memory....so far that thing has handled a lot of reasonably sized models I've thrown at it...

Strange how this is only a problem in the USA.

What's the problem....if you bought it, it is your vehicle and if you want to make it run better, more efficiently....why not?

Can we get a car like this? Can we get congress to pass a law that says we can have a car like this?

I'd written something similar earlier....make some cars and jeeps this simple, go back to 60's - 70's tech maybe....where you can work on your vehicles on your own on the weekend.

No need for uber tech, no telemetry and over the air updates....

I for one would kill for a modern day CJ7....simple gas engine that is bulletproof....and well, not that much else.....

Hell, give me a '76 TransAm....big engine, no computer needed...maybe just modernize the suspension....

Ahem....back to tractors one can own and self repair made simply and just works...

If they would only do this with CARS and JEEPS again.....simple, mechanical...without all the fucking tech, something in 60-70's area of tech....I'd be one of the first in line.

It was nice to be a shade tree mechanic and work on your own vehicles on the weekends....

I guess maybe having just Bluetooth in the radio to hook my phone to to stream music..but shy of that I don't need cars that phone home, nor have internet, or require software updates...fuck all that.

Hell I don't even need a backup camera....I never use them on cars that have them anyway....so far, mine don't.

Raw? no. The drivers don't exist (yet). I expect MS to roll out a few flavors of Linux for WSL as this is targeted to be a dev box.

Ugh....not for me unless it can be MS Free....

Could you install Linux on this new box?

user-replaceable batteries should be much simpler to replace, not advance phone surgery

I for one, do not want my iPhone to become as thick as my old time Motorola flip phone that had replaceable battery....

I run my phones for at least 6 years it seems....before I upgrade and toss the old one, or keep it as a camera for some use....but no, with they way phones are and how long battery life currently is, etc....I don't need user replaceable with all the negatives that brings with it...

If you are upset about LGBT+, well, do you feel that men should be able to have their own preference in women who are blondes, brunettes, redheads, shorter, taller, different body types? How about women having the right to prefer men with a different build, skin tone, etc, are you against THAT? So, people should also have their own preference when it comes to sexuality, like it or not, it's the same exact thing, personal preference in who they are attracted to. Or, do you feel that everyone should have the exact same preferences?

I don't care what your preferred form of sexual friction is....

I just don't want it being flaunted and taught to grade schoolers...they aren't sexual, they don't need to know about boys sucking cocks...

I may not agree with it, but it is a free country and fuck who you want to fuck as an adult, plain and simple.

I don't, however, need to feel forced to play someone else's "games" with pronouns. You can pretend to be a woman or man or poodle, fine with me, but don't expect me to learn or respect the rules of what your pronoun are.....if you are going to be at the fringes of society, it's up to YOU to deal with it, not me.

A big part of "woke" is having to deal with stupid shit like I mentioned above.

Especially exposing kids to it....keep them out of it and allow innocence to survive as long as it can with them.

They'll make a deal with the king to promote more non woke content.

Well, at least that would still be some progress....

With the growing ability to run local models at home on your own hardware, especially if you have Apple Silicon computers....I'm wondering if soon we'll see a LARGE drop in subscriptions to the Frontier models?

From what I'm seeing these local models can do what about 98% of the populace needs....and you aren't sharing your data with a corporation that is just sucking up all your data into their AI?

They might be better off just closing Meta. It's an antisemitic Trash company run by a literal Neonazi.

It's not because you were born different than me. Your body adapts to however you eat. It responds well to your typical diet because that's what it's used to. If you switch to a different diet there will be a short period of your body being confused and telling you to go back to what it knows. Then it will adapt to the new diet, and you'll find eating healthy food feels great.

I consider my regular diet to be for the most part Healthy!!

My blood work numbers verify this...

I like veggies, I try to eat what's in season, I mix this in with a very LOW carb diet...ditching most all grains and leaning Keto towards the carnivore side of things.

I like to cook and most all I consume is cooked from scratch.
