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.

Never done it, but I do put them on my deviled eggs. I wouldn’t personally mix it with the egg salad, but it would be a topping of the sandwich. I will for sure be doing this next egg salad batch I make though. I’m not sure why I’ve never tried it nor ever heard it. In the Midwest US.

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.

I was born and raised a Packers NFL fan. Everyone in my family were die hards. When my father passed, we asked people to wear Packers apparel if they had it. There were some local Vikings fans that bought Packers shirts for the occasion. One guy wore a vikings shirt underneath to stay true. That’s what sports rivalries should be all about. It’s just a game but it builds relationships through competition. We may cheer for different teams, but at the end of the day, we come together for what’s important. If someone boo’d the Packers at my dad’s funeral, I would have laughed as I think most of my family and friends would have too.

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.

That’s definitely a choice you can make, but if I see AI at all, I immediately move on from the article or at the very least treat it as nothing of value. Other than the ethical implications of using AI, seeing it tells me the author couldn’t be bothered to care about their article, and so neither will I.

Just some outside perspective and feedback from just one person.

Whether the US is the right choice for you probably depends on your skin tone and where you’d be living. If you appear Asian and move to rural Texas, you’re probably gonna have a bad time. If you look Asian but move to somewhere like NYC where there’s more of a melting pot of citizens and currently liberal leadership, it will probably be a better experience.

There is a lot of bad stuff happening here, but it isn’t detrimental (currently) to everyone equally. I personally wouldn’t consider China due to the extreme censorship and heavy handed government, but the US is tracking that way. Japan has its own issues as you mentioned, but I’m not well versed enough to speak on them.

It’s definitely not a clear cut choice and you’ll probably have to eat some shit regardless of your choice. I think the potential is highest in the US for success compared to the other choices, but you could also walk into the wrong store and get arrested by ICE.

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.

God isn’t real, so you haven’t spoken a single word of truth in this thread. And if he is real, then he’s a right piece of shit for all of the terrible things he does and allows. I’d rather role the dice with the big man down stairs who is only there because he loves me too much.

Religion is a cancer.

Growing up on a small town in Iowa, I would leave my car unlocked and windows down during the day. I lived rural and we never locked our door. Now there’s been more development near my mother’s house and she locks the door at night and when she’s not home. Someone down the street about a mile away had someone break into their house. Unfortunately for the perp, the home owner heard, grabbed a golf club and gave the dude a shiner and a titlists face tattoo.

Now I live in a larger metro area and keep my doors locked all day. I truly wouldn’t need to because we have a pretty safe community, but my wife grew up in a worse place so it’s more habit than anything. We also have dogs they could potentially pop a door open and get out, so extra piece of mind.

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.
