Brawno. It’s got what plants crave.

I asked what they have tried, I didn’t say they have to switch. I was providing some information that perhaps they didn’t have. You don’t have to be a righteous butthole about it.

You have to boot without network access then do the terminal command.

What distro of Linux did you use that was so difficult? Something like Mint is very entry level and intuitive. You don’t have to run any terminal commands if you don’t want to, and the out of box configuration is good enough that you don’t have to modify anything for a stable, up to date system.

I too owned a 1987 Caprice Classic. It was my first car but it was already probably 15 years old when I got it. Not sure if they offered it with different engine options, but it was indeed a tank. We called it the boat.

E: I just looked back, and I had a 1990 Caprice Classic, not the 87. Still, a tank.

Midwest US, but it’s really down to the insurance policy. This particular procedure was 100% covered other than copay. Copay was usually $50, but for specialties it was $75. If you have insurance, definitely check your policy. A lot of times vasectomy is explicitly called out.

It cost me a $50 copay with insurance (US), maybe $75 because “specialist” I don’t remember. Without insurance idk the cost, but I’d guess under $500.

Best $50 I’ve ever spent. Quick procedure, quick recovery with an excuse to not do anything for a couple days.

You seriously just jumped from parenting to rape in the same thought. Dude, you should talk to a professional.

Good thing you didn’t generalize an entire population or anything and show your lack of understanding at how easy it is to just assassinate the POTUS. That would look like quite dumb, hateful, and short slighted opinion had you done so.

Everything you said is true, but I hope more people are seeing the US as the canary we are in the realm of right wing politics. The cancer is spreading and getting more control around the world. Everyone should look at how the US has fallen under the Trump regime and what not to do. That’s not to say that the US was doing great things outside of Trump, but this is certainly worse for the citizens of the US and the cascading effects are clearly having a negative effect on much of the rest of the world.

Read the room.

It’s not about your system. It’s about every system connecting to the Internet. It’s not local age verification, it’s widespread monitoring by the government.

You haven’t provided any counter. I’ve told you why they should exist. You’ve said they shouldn’t with no reason. What is your better solution that will be better and why?

That has nothing to do with state borders. The electoral college is a fucked system and FPtP voting is dumb AF. What’s your alternative to states that you think would make the US a better place?

Router QoS. Set the router to prioritize your traffic based on IP. What are they doing that’s consuming the bandwidth? The only times it’s been an issue in our house has been when I’ve switched media with no speed restrictions. Past large and fast downloads, if you have high speed internet, the pipe shouldn’t be congested. Otherwise, be confrontational then escalate if behaviors don’t change.

Still, the solution isn’t an embargo that hurts the citizens. Humanitarian efforts would be more effective for sure. This is not in defense of the Cuban go government, but there’s no way that laying siege on an island is better for the citizens there.

For the same reason that countries exist. Everyone should have the right for representation. The US is a big place. It needs to be broken into individual locations so that citizens are better locally represented. Whether or not the seemingly arbitrary lines make sense is a different debate, but have some level of boundaries should exist due to the size of this country.

That’s not the US’s fight though. If Cubans aren’t a fan of their leadership they should fix it. If they can’t they can request help and setup some guarantees and deals for assistance.

State boundaries make sense in that if there were none everyone would be represented by a single entity. They have to exist at some level for that reason.

Trump’s platform was laid out plainly leading up to the election. He was already heavily implicated to being involved with Epstein. Either she’s a complete idiot that is so out of touch that it’s unfathomable, or she knew who Trump is and what he’s about and decided that the damage he would do to other demographics was acceptable, making her a hypocrite. The idea that Trump was actually going to release the Epstein files and somehow bring justice takes a whole level of stupid to believe.
