Not every day before noon. Not every day at a bar.

In a country that doesn't even have a healthcare system, the idea that "Preserve Online Games" will be the thing that unites people to throw off the yoke of the ownership class, is ridiculous indeed.

In other words, "The stats look good, you must be imagining things."

Thanks for the tip, Mr. Biden.

If only we didn't have to buy tickets...

To quantify, Texas bans alcohol 52 days a year, France bans it 1 day.

As you become more ensconced in propaganda, you're more likely to make such ridiculous statements.

In reality, the religious group seizing control of the government in the US are the Christians. In my state, they have already banned alcohol on Sundays (and elsewhere).

The Microsoft website is supposed to give you your BitLocker key. (Under Account Settings -> My Devices). And, most of the time it does. But there's a persistent bug over at least the last couple years I've been supporting it, where about 10% of the Bitlocker keys just refuse to pull up. The device is listed, complete with the hex Bitlocker ID, and the box to display the recovery key opens when you click it, but it's empty. No key.

What makes this worse is BIOS/firmware updates are pushed through Windows Update now. People who don't even know what a BIOS is might get hit with an automatic update that Bitclobbers their computer. Even the slider to turn this off doesn't seem to work. (Either that or the Windows admins fucked up implementing the IT director's instruction to disable it. Whatever the case, automatic BIOS updates continue.)

It's actually African, although I'm sure Mexico has some clinics.

It also involves going on a vision quest which, may or may not be more difficult than this new procedure. (The vision quest also may or may not be part of the therapeutic effect.)

Is it still going to be amusing when they reach into your pocket for a bailout?

They can't bear the thought of someone, so masculinely named, and a financial genius, having so much more money than they do. They have to belittle his achievements. It's called Hunter Derangement Syndrome.

When the words you're stuffing into someone's mouth don't bear any resemblance to what they said, your "OK dude" doesn't have that oomph you believe it to.

The shocker to me is that the major media provided him with a platform to speak. Usually media guys are just harangued by promoters and scammers and they get the airtime.

I have relatives in their 70s and 80s who have converted to Linux Mint for 100% of their daily driving. They didn't install it, but once it's set up, they can use it as easily and competently as they did Windows. Not that they were particularly competent at Windows, but that means no penalty moving to Linux.

BitLocker likes to activate at the drop of a hat, and I suppose it should, but when you combine that with all the fuckups surrounding Windows with Secure Boot, the TPM stuff, and online account requirements... there are a million ways to get fucked at any given time.

I made the mistake of doing a BIOS update without internet access one evening, and Windows completely lost all it's local credentials, which means it has to phone home to Microsoft... which couldn't happen, so I was left with no way to log into my computer until the next day when Comcast fixed their shit. We have finally arrived at the point of computers that don't work without internet.

The guys who have purchased W10 extended support, won't be migrating to 11 any time soon.

Better, for Microsoft, for sell them W10 subscriptions until the customer buys new hardware. Because ending W10 support would send them straight to Linux, or Apple, both of which compare more favorably to Windows than they did 5 years ago.

If it was a tech company, they'd run a campaign to tell people how "evil government regulations are removing features from your cars", then build the appropriate pool or ballroom in order to have the regulations removed.

Automakers are playing similar games, but their leaders don't have quite the same "total domination at the expense of all else" death-drive.

The difference is the smartphone does something useful, the glasses don't.

(Not useful to you, at least.)
