He hasn't been terribly loved in this term, does he really have the lock on the election he thinks he does?

Working on Sun heavy iron, boot time was excuciating. We'd add RAM to a fully pupulated E3000 and then waiy 40 minutes before the first diagnostics appeared on the terminal.

That wasn't technically boot time, but the OBP equivalent of POST.

Honestly, OS boot time has never been an issue for me.

• Short attention span.
• Outrage farming.

New Mexico is already part of the US. It's not really the name, it's the expansionist intention.

He's going to annex as much territory as he can without weapons before declaring war.

It doesn't matter.

It REALLY doesn't matter.

If he was doing a Nazi salute, the consequences are obvious. If he was doing something "like" a Nazi salute but can plausibly deny it, the result is exactly the same; and that means that the intent is the same, even if it is proven (magically!) that it wasn't a Nazi salute.

This is the result:

The Nazis of the world all saw it, and took it as a sign of unity. Nothing else matters.

Now Musk may or not may be autistic, but I know several autistic people (plus one with Tourette Syndrome, long ago) and you know what? Not a single one of them has done anything like a Nazi salute.

"Heil Hitler" as a phrase and a salute is fairly unique: It is something that is absolutely burned into the memory of most of humanity, regardless of language, culture, or society. Nobody with Musk's worldly knowledge and experience would accidentally do something that close to a Nazi salute. Hell, an eight year old from Latvia wouldn't accidentally do something like that. The knowledge and the taboo are absolutely burned into our collective consciousness.

There is absolutely zero chance whatsoever that Musk didn't know what he was doing.

And even if that's true, it honestly doesn't matter.

...Elon Musk’s baffling appearance during President Donald Trump’s inauguration...

What was so baffling about it? The man bough and paid for control over Trump. It would have been a massive shock if he wasn't there.

Or maybe his "gesture" was baffling, because they refuse to accept that the richest man in the world is a Nazi.

On reddit, FFS.

"We can't let those Nazis contaminate OUR Nazis!"

So THAT'S why he's lately been sounding like a leader instead of his usual drunken grifter persona.

Laws are there for the riff raff, not the elite.

This has been true for a very long time, but those in power generally didn't abuse that fact too much. Until recently.

IT'S A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE! STOP PANDERING TO THE FOURTH REICH!

You are obsessed with this being the norm. I'm not at all convinced it is.

I'm a cis dude in my mid-50s. Don't think this has ever hapoened to me.

Third term: Don't elect a Nazi. Expect a Nazi.

Albertan here. We can always count on Smith to make Ford sound like a statesman.

Lovely, but wrong group.

I didn't know about this. I haven't followed Proton closely for a while, but this...wow. Kinda lousy.

Wow!

Of all companies, this is one I didn't expect.

Damn.

I don't go back to it (Win 3.1 games are a PITA to get running), but I really wish someone would remake Millennium Auction. It was a very clever version of the old board game Masterpiece.

I was thinking that he could stay in detention until he is able to stand trial. I'd be OK with that.

I lived without anger for almost 15 minutes today.

That's almost a record.
