Off topic. Bandcamp's site loooks like it was designed by a schizophrenic person. A lot of music sites in general seem to prefer form over function IMHO. Discogs.com is a notable exception of course.

I think the - actually usable UI as opposed to the dumbified abortion most of the big sites have - train is long gone. A usable UI (for non-niche sites) is one of those things you can get nostalgic about with "back in my day...".

You are getting off one boat and getting on the other one. Destination is the same. Any centralized communication network is by definition insecure (one point of failure). Maybe try Tox. https://tox.chat/ Telegram copperati

Do the Chinese/Asian governments do anything WRT to education now? This seems like it has being going on for a while and the Asian governments just don't do anything. --- Also WRT to finance incentives for locals: IIRC rhino horn

PCPP is useful to look up if your build or a build similar to yours is gonna have problems or little gotchas. PCPP is really revolutionary. Building a PC in 2018 should be easy. The only priblem is a lot of everchanging technologies and acr

I've read that GPUs are not designed to be run 24/7 e.g. bitcoin mining.

You only ground yourself if you paid for the components. If it's your bud's money... it will probably be fine. Just hold the beer when you are installing the CPU :)

Going on a tangent. The best way to apply thermal paste AKA TIM: the thinnest possible layer ALL over the processor's surface. The pea method IMNSHO is stupid!

The Las Vegas shooter hit the airport's avgas containers and nothing happened. Also IIRC Mythbusters did an episode on this.

"pet cat" And the other type being a stray cat? Confused about the term. Not a cat person myself.

FB has always been ignoring users (kinda like Firefox!). See the original "wall" and the system before "timeline".

The NYC people that judge you are obviously not "tolerant". Also most stereotypes have some truth to them, otherwise they wouldn't be stereotypes. E.g. IIRC Southern states come last in education ranking.

They are probably mocking their hypocritical, not "deplorable" religious beliefs. That word IME is not used by anybody but the people complaining about it. E.g. Judge Roy Moore in Alabama.

What do you think about banning high capacity magazines? It is much easily defined and codified than "assault weapons". Personally I'm surprised the anti-gun people don't go after magazines, instead fighting the same bat

A LOT of manual labor jobs are shittier (you can use bad words here BTW) than working in an air-conditioned office chatting on Twitter all day.

Fun trivia: Charlie Brooker talks himself of predicting a Trump-like person becoming president and that Black Mirror "Waldo" episode. Don't recall the source.

A more appropriate example would be the Crimean annexation, which only a handful of countries recognize. Also IIRC a lot of these companies are state-owned or owned by Kremlin-friendly oligarchs. Not really a private corporation.

The attempts to demonize the words "social justice" are quite Orwellian. "Justice" is literally the last word in America that I thought would be used in some RWA-type context.

OP was talking about the nerdness (think "PGP keys") rather than the name itself. BTW Mastadon sounds like it's related to BDSM or ED meds IMHO. "Sweetcheeks, have you heard of Mastadon?" "I'm not into tha
