3. Extinguish third party development

We’re entering the final phase of Microsoft’s famous EEE strategy from the 90s.

Nope.

I agree w you that less cars frees more capital for other productive investments which could build a stronger economy.

I disagree on what critical means. If the cars and tech to mfg them disappeared tomorrow, the American economy would crumble. The dependence on them is what makes them critical, they’ve become like air. That’s not to say it has to be that way forever, but it is at the present moment.

Killing people? Bankrupting the country? Destroying the climate? All forgivable.

Attacking Waffle House? FUCK CARS!

I’ve been on the 401, give the people what they want. Let 'em have it.

Fuck cars! I’m with you homie.

With that said, ~80% of Americans drive to work… so saying that cars aren’t critical to the American economy disconnects from reality.

It’s because cars are very dangerous and critical to the American economy. By the seat/mile airplanes are much less dangerous, so we’re allowed to talk about it.

Why does the mob charge for protection?

Congrats! I quit again in July : )

McDonalds is kinda like cigarettes: expensive and bad for you. I can’t afford a habit like that

Maybe we can take money out of education or medicaid, say we’re going to use it for transportation, and then go to war?

Data systems engineering! It started when MS pushed Windows 10 on me and my ancient laptop couldn’t take it… So I downloaded a gnu/Linux distro and developed a CS hobby. That turned into a career and here we are : ) Thank you Microsoft

Like 10 years ago, I got started by doing this project:

OpenBSD PF: Building a Router

In general, I’d recommend ANY BSD documentation or guides, they’re all written by knowledgeable ppl who are also likely educators in CS departments. Also, I’d recommend actually doing a project. Reading is useful and IMO the doing is much more effective.

I’ve been playing DCSS for a few years and the furthest I’ve ever gone was collecting one rune (Snake Pits).

I like that it’s permadeath, the dungeons are procedurally generated, and that releases with new mechanics come out regularly so it doesn’t get stale. Over my short tenure, I’ve seen a few races, classes, equipment types, and mechanics (food was a mechanic awhile ago) come and go. With that said there are many backgrounds, classes, equipment, and dieties so actual play can have quite a lot of variability.

I usually play on crawl.dcss.io via ssh, you can find my player characters in the morgue by looking for player “kaleh”

Go get killed in D:3 by a pack of gnolls, I highly recommend :)

Yes, great day.

Found out the other day that my aunt responded to one of the phishing scams where they send you a bill and a line for customer support.

She called and allowed them take control of her PC.
