Honestly outside of people who do heavy 3d rendering, even a computer you use for your job just doesn't need to be that powerful.

As a programmer who sits at a screen for 8 hours a day, it took a lot of convincing for me to even give up my 10 year old workstation because it was pretty decent when it was purchased and as long as it had decent ram (it had 32GB) I was perfectly fine working on it. Having to reinstall was more of a headache that the benefit of getting a new system.

Hell my home/play machine is SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful than my work one.

I view my home computer like a Corvette and my work machine like a Corolla. At home I want fast - at work I just want dependable.

> Heh, I've never heard that term before.

It's an acronym for "jack of all trades."

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

Given the Apple/Mac history with NeXT, I think the name he chose is more fitting.

Ebiikes are a legal workaround loophole for motorcycles.

When I got my first computer it was a Commodore, and I had a ton of those magazines. Eventually my disk drive broke, so if I wanted to play one of those little games or things they had, I literally had to type the whole program in each time.

I would leave the computer powered on as long as possible so that the RAM didn't clear :).

You realize there are a bunch of homes available for sale in all sorts of places for next to nothing. The problem isn't "housing", it is "housing where people want to live". Declining population in places like Italy have created housing collapse where nice houses aren't sold, and sit empty, and they'll pay you to move into one.

It isn't colonial, it is industrial. The current format of school is that of preparing for a factory workforce. We are post industrial, knowledge/AI/Whatever it will be called workforce.

Educators need to come to grip with getting EVERY child their MAX educational value we can. This means breaking the rows and columns of desks in a classroom, and getting kids their most valuable education they can get. This means some will do much better than others. Talent has gradations. Not everyone can be a Astro Physics expert.

Modern pipes are often plastic, but a lot of technology is different in modern times as well. Lots of stuff done with mechanical relays and such are done with solid state stuff now.

Heck CRT screens even when "black" you could still tell when they were on - not because of some light, but because they had an almost imperceptible "hum" you could hear and they air around them felt more charged with static electricity.

Tech from different eras just sometimes feels and sound different.

"fair" is subjective. What you think is "fair" isn't really fair. It is objectively unfair to use qualitative terms in discussion of policy.

What would be fair, is that Government live within the means we ALREADY tax out of the public. Cut Spending first. Then, when all cuts that can be made, are made, then MAYBE we can have a discussion on tax increases.

Its Not Your Money.

Envy isn't a virtue.

The problem here, is "fairness" is subjective, not objective.

Use of that particular term is deliberate tug on the emotional center of brains. it works, which is why Progressives ALWAYS use it.

Which is exactly what they said a hundred years ago when they instituted the "income tax".

Rich people will move out. And take their wealth with them.

Taxes are regressive. All of them.

The argument will be that its not a bank, (I mean, who wants to trust those things?), and the money is merely travelling in a conveyance

Conspiracy theories are, until they are not.

Secret Pedo island owned by rich dude with elitist ties was once a "conspiracy theory". Now we know that Epstein killed himself 100% because "They" said so.

"I'm just asking questions" idiots notwithstanding. I'm looking at you Candice.

What, you mean you're not convinced to grab the no-name alpha-release "privacy browser" that cripples yourself if you don't let them MITM you?
