Comment Re:They mean "Microcenter" (Score 1) 23

MicroCenter is great, and has often had a lot of iFixit toolkits. I'm glad they made the agreement official.

CompUSA's main downfall was that they would never have any prices on the products... Only a sticker with a SKU, and you would have to look for the price tag on the shelf and match it against the SKU. More often than not, the tag with the actual price was missing or wrong.

Who wants to go shopping at a store where you don't know what anything costs?

Too many times I have had to endure a commercial break on a streaming platform that I have paid for. I can forgive some ads if it means a lower price, but they squander the opportunity by running an ad for the exact show that I'm ALREADY WATCHING! Of all the ads that they could play, that is the one that benefits us both the least.

Your question makes sense, but I think you're right - It's not that simple.

Your theoretical Debian distro might be fine for general purpose use, but there may be people who want a distro for games, or a wide range of hardware compatibility. In both of those cases, you might need to have a kernel compiled with specific options, and a distro bundled with certain desktop GUIs and applications.

The hardcore linux enthusiasts will tell you to compile your own kernel. Have you ever tried it? It's not for beginners, and the choices you make during compile time would only serve to frustrate you later.

Look, I just want to use linux without needing to build it myself, but there are so many different ways to do things, there is no one way that would make everyone happy - no matter what changes you add on top of it.

The question is: Who is going to stop him? No one, that's who.

He appoints judges that will defer to him.
He has the majority of the House on his side.
He has Secret Service personal protection.
He controls the military.

I would like to believe that there is some governmental bureau that would arrest him, and hold him for crimes, but he seems to fire anyone who seems to be able to do that.

The only other option I can think of (outside of violence) is to just wait it out until there are more Dems in the House, or his term is up.
