Otoh I can’t think of one other scenario where you would tip before you receive the goods/services. Is it even a tip?

Already confirmed but it’s legit one of the best features of all time: a completely silent portable computer. Second-best is a mobile-first portable computer, that you don’t have to worry about having it plugged in except for an hour or so

He’s right, though. There are as many if not more lifetimes saved in aggregate. You make a decision to get into the car with eyes open and most people are okay with the deal & the odds. I have a feeling your response is because you’ve l

Something probably lost to time now but there was this sort of MUD that didn’t really have a game attached, called a Talker You would telnet to a server : port, usually 3000 by default and sign in to this multi-user chat system. It was divi

If I lived downtown Ottawa and likely worked for the federal government I would be extra sympathetic to any protest at all. I would have to appreciate a democracy in order to work for such agencies, which apparently your buddies don’t.

You weren’t there and are full of shit. What else have you been told?

The horns died down after a few short days, after a reasonable concession was made. I have a feeling hardly any Canadians at all know what really happened in Ottawa even though there was and is extensive live video evidence streamed and sto

Your bar for violence is so low you might accuse me of it for laughing in your face It is 100% inconvenience, and if there’s one thing that can not be tolerated in these times, is any sort of inconvenience.

The emergency act was used after the bridges were clear, to stop a peaceful protest in the nations capital that pissed off the minority government. You can go on YouTube and see endless live video streams of it. At no time were any lives in

I think it’s just alternate app distribution on existing devices. I get it that you have to choose one or the other, and it does make sense since f-droid has a bunch of open-source apps available already. They just need to work on the hardw

Have a search in this very thread for “laptop manufacturers just don’t care”. To me Apple seems to be the last one to give a shit So, why doesn’t a great MacBook alternative exist? It’s a valid question.
