Bet you also remember if you failed to bring your own pen-knife to wood-working shop the instructor would make you walk home to get it ! I think you would get arrested now for terrorist behavior.

I was a loyal early user of Opera, on Win98 & WinME. But, after getting screwed out of the pre-paid update I switched to Netscape/Moz. Think I tried Vivaldi and was not overwhelmed. LibreWolf is my current Web transport.

Indeed the traditional Sicilian meme. If they don't volunteer, the CCP will threaten their families and infest Slashdot with Karma-whoring sock-puppets.

Every site operators presence is global. That's why we call them: INTERNET providers . Even 19-th Century copper wires reached across continents. So let's admit that those sneaky lil' bastards are feigning a parochial existence, while dropping their slime all over the world.

For bad financial reasons, America imported a pack of savages -- multiple times --- 75% of whom now commit violent felonies. It's their "native" behavior. Public policy chose jailing them instead of mass deportation or gulag. Bad mistake; it's the source of our prison crisis .

Usury ... nasty word ... bad connotations. Something to do with Jews. Silly me; I thought load-interest is a "risk metric". If you make many loans, some get paid-back and some don't. The accumulated "interest" is the difference between those two amounts. Something like: P-nP = I =i*(p +nP )

Observing weather reports over the last 70 years I understand Cuba has really really toxic weather. Probably any large scale "gridding" solution to Cubas energy needs will fall prey to hurricane winds and floods. It's financially impossible and morally undesirable to just keep rebuilding . Nominally one responds to Cuba-like hell-hole climate with a building-by-building solution like coal or oil-fired boilers/generators. Or nuclear/electric with a 100% underground distribution system. I see no possibility that as a form of re-approachment the USA would build such a system for Cuba under some sort of neo-Marchall Plan.

Helping collectivist authoritarians is NOT good behavior. What IS good behavior toward such cesspits? Supply firearms & financial weapons to internal resistance groups while encouraging the infectious agendistas to starve , suicide or implode. Kinda like how big, toxic American cities should be treated.

Yep. Not everyone knows that browser Opera is owned by the CCP, and is an active intelligence agent. Got important financial/political data on your computer; Opera will suck-it-dry like the best whore you ever engaged. And yes, back in-the-day I was one of those fools who paid $40 for beta O.3 with a promise of O.4 that was never fulfilled. Being a prick is in Operas blood like typhoid.

"Over 250 years ago a standing army could beat the crap out of revolutionaries. Not that we teach that in schools." The Viet Kong did OKey with modest external support. A collectivist cosmopolitan supported main-force in AMERICA would get butchered by a well-maintained yeomanry. Asymmetric-yes. Dirty- yes. Lawless-yes. Will febs, felons, fools & freaks take 5-million casualties or will they die like starving rats in septic cities ? USA has some toxic Leninist who think they can repeat the Russian blasphemy. Fact is when shooting starts they're dead meat; the culling is long overdue.

Haha ! The grifting type is well known. Renholm Industries doesn't really produce anything. They are "investor herding " ... a web-based slot-machine. Of-course a slot-machine can be run by *.ai ... in fact any good 19-th Century Mechanical-Turk can run a slot-machine. Compare that valueless Fintek crap with a cabinet makers shop. Individually sourced raw wood : woodworking machines : German-made hand-tools : lathe to produce novel metal jigs as needed : primers, waxes, acrylic and paints .... and an artists intuition of form and flow. A piece may take a month to create ... and a buyer may take 5 years of saving to afford that piece. Any questions ?

Are savings in 'metal energy expenditures' measured in watts .. or twinkies/break ? Are you implying that use of *.ai leads to lower air-conditioning costs ?
