Sounds like they should arrest Microsoft for that, like they did with Mega. /s

Trump has threatened to end democracy in the US. So yesterday may end up being the last time anyone in the US gets to vote.

I wouldn’t call that a win for democracy.

I didn’t realise it was just this one grandma that did all that.

Same as it ever was.

Boomers and Gen X did exactly the same thing that you’re doing. Nothing. They just let the super rich elite screw the whole world up and now you’re doing the same thing they did. Nothing.

If you want to act high and mighty you’re not going to change the world by complaining on the internet. You have to stop the super rich.

It’s certainly the one most likely to shank you if you step on it. Beyond that I’d rank it as the least space efficient plug. I honestly think it’s the worst design I’ve seen.

“But it has built in fuses”, I hear all the Brits say. This isn’t the advantage you think it is. Why not put the fuses in the actual appliance with all the other components where it makes more sense to put them?

A lot of larger companies like Compaq etc. were making “respectable” PCs by then and selling them in big quantities in direct competition to IBM.

There’s a reason why no-one bought IBM PS/2s. They were horrible value for money.

The real competition at the time was the thousands of other brands selling PCs. By that time IBM was plummeting in sales and other companies were selling most of the PCs. That’s where 95% of the market was.

Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.

You just know a lot of those “Research Institute” sets ended up on scientists’ desks at research institutes.

They still create microplastics.

When you scratch it you’re making microplastics though, and they’re going right into your food.

The workplace isn’t high school.

It can be. I’ve definitely seen cases which were more high school than a professional workplace.

When I lived in Switzerland I literally used a bike to haul furniture (flat packed). Honestly it’s easier than you might imagine.

I brought a big tv home on my bike too. It’s quite achievable, if awkward.

But a cargo bike would have been a better choice than my conventional bike.

I remember many years ago New Scientist magazine did a review study of many different alternative medicine techniques and found that the only benefits they provided were placebo effect.

Except acupuncture. That was the only one with an effect greater than placebo.

For Australians: they mean American opossums, not Australian possums. Our cute little marsupial friends have appropriately wrinkly brains, thank goodness.

In my country that means you wouldn’t respect (for instance) ordinary people who’ve paid off a house. 1 million isn’t as much money as it used to be.

Ah, so it’s a USA specific joke. Gotcha.

Yikes

Did she use an AK to effect her change?
