Unfortunately for veterans, they aren’t risking their lives for their country. They’re risking their lives for the special interests of corporate oligarchs who couldn’t care less about them.

I ran Fedora on my Framework when I first got it, a couple years ago, but the battery life and sleep behavior was just awful. Love Linux on desktop, hate it on a laptop. Should I revisit?

I see lots of people talking about how bad this is, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about it in light of Trump’s utter mishandling of Hurricane Maria.

It’s been 7 years but it’s absolutely salt in the wound.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

It’s sad how much this will hurt good people who work for the Washington Post and how little this will affect Bezos.

And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.

So many options for the title:

Jiminy Cricket is a Putin plant.

America’s Collective Conscience: Misguided or Manchurian Candidate?

Ask not what your country can do for genocide, ask what genocide can do for your country.

This is so much satire that it’s a little hard to tell if it’s satire.

Here’s the one I have:

I have another Logitech one that cost about $25.

I really, really like it. They’re really durable, easy for a kid to use, and pretty inexpensive.

Only con is if you drop it and the ball pops out, it can roll under the couch.

I use a HTPC. Using a traditional mouse is the worst. For a long time I used a Mac Mini because the Apple Bluetooth trackpad is the only external trackpad I’ve ever used that’s any good.

Then I got a Bluetooth trackball mouse. It’s by far my favorite. It’s rugged, easy to toss around, and it just lives on a couch arm.

The only steaming device I have is a Chromecast that’s exclusively used to turn on and off the TV.

As a pretty left person who lives in Tennessee, please get rid of it. Anytime I have this conversation with folks on the right, I always point out that there are more Republican voters in California than Texas. That usually gets them to concede.

Perhaps the strongest argument that it is God punishing sinful states. The old switcheroo right there.

Crazy to know that Cleopatra was born closer to the creation of Halo: Combat Evolved than to the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Yeah, but what if someone also set a precedent that if you’re the victim of an admittedly awful terror attack, you can spend the next 20 years killing anyone you want.

I would disagree. I used to live in Rosman, NC, about an hour south of Asheville.

This is absolutely a precedented tragedy. It is run of the mill. That’s because of climate change. Because of climate change, these 100 year floods are occurring once a decade. Yes, this is the biggest in those hundred years, but there are communities who are enormously affected by this regularly.

Calling it unprecedented plays into climate deniers hands. It wasn’t normal. But it is becoming normal. It is precedented. We caused it. If it’s unprecedented, people will ignore it as an oddity, an outlier. But people living there should expect this.

Pouring it into his own mouth, mostly.

Bart Starr was pretty cool. Seems like a nice guy.

It’s göring to come back and bite them.

Maybe a little, gold sombrero on an armband.

Sort of. She also has some Russian ties.

While I don’t think she is some kind of Soviet black ops plant, she’s secured funding many times by less savory means. That does mean the things she says and does require a little extra thought though.

I do wish it wasn’t part of the “assassinate the left, cozy towards center” mentality that democrats are embracing.
