This really feels like an "I'm done with the Internet for the evening" kinda story.
GOP putting the "Conservation" back into "Conservative" again...

I don't get the cough like it was some secret that was openly known or should be hidden?
Speaking of saber rattling, I found this quote mildly amusing:
The flex notably comes amid persistent tensions with Russia, which has been rattling the nuclear saber lately
"lately"? I mean, if you're saying repetetive nuclear threats for 2 years + since starting a war with Ukraine, then sure?
Not singing loud enough - straight to jail.
Surprisingly, singing too loud? Also straight to jail.
If you are a cis-het white who at least publicly proclaims belief in Jesus, you should be fine. For eveyone else, they'll start with those who have the least power and keep coming for the next out-group on the ladder.... and they'll use anyone they can convince along the ladder to kick off those on a lower rung.
Let's see, illegal immigrants, homeless, drug addicts, trans, gay, muslim, atheist, brown, jewish - appologies if sure if I left anyone out. You may disagree with the order, but I might not be far off.
Truly, email is (thankfully) mostly unspoiled as a protocol since it's beginning. Other than minor improvements and additions like HTML and spam filters and the like, anyone can host an email service and interface with anyone else on the Internet with the same protocol.
Alternate reality decision making change:
-
Realize you forgot about it and are past the deadline
-
Someone else picked. You are either demoted or dead. Neither surprises you.
Imagine having $700 million, having almost no responsibility, and still being that much of a putz.
F-that! Take pride... Mint is ridiculously good. Well managed, stable, "just works" and yet has all the capabilities you want, including auto-running near the edge for current kernels (backed down to stable) without doing jack. You can run at the bleeding edge if you want to manage it yourself.
And for any haters - here's my take: I've been working with Unix for 30+ years, I installed Slackware off of floppies when 16MB of RAM was god-like. I have built, compiled and managed nearly every distro at some point certainly the upstream giants. I've been there for the birth of all of them. I've also professionally worked on AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX. Yes there's a lot of fun in maintaining and running things to your satisfaction, but when you hit a certain inflection point of balancing your real life and maintaining distros across multiple machines and decide "This is the way" - Mint just fits the bill on so many levels.
Mint is the bomb and I'm done pretending. Fight me (not you, OP, you're cool)
Any good source for the APKs? I actually had purchased several games before they sold to Zuck and I'd like to get those back! If it's against rules or something, feel free to DM.
seconding the appreciation for this one Internet Friend - just saw that there's some steamVR going on the og Quest... Need to check this out.
You definitely will. This requirement effectively bricked my OG Quest since I refuse to have anything to do with Facebook. I really need to look into side-loading and/or firmware projects around it. They broke the promise that they would never require a Facebook account and somehow the justice system said, yeah, but this is a Meta account, so it's all cool...
FU Meta - you'll never see another dollar from me. In fact you owe me $400.
We need someone to ask him how he'd like to die like that boat electricution vs. shark question: "How would you rather die? Drink bleach or inject it?"
Am in Illinois today. Can confirm, nothing destroyed and certainly not disintegrated.
