It’s about as dangerous as using IE in the old days, or Edge in administrator mode.

Cancel and demand a refund. Also tell them that they’re poop faces and have poop for faces.

Yes, and it’s trivial to retask with the AC97 HD Audio program in Windows, but I couldn’t find an equivalent program for Linux.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.

I do use Linux, and I’m usually glad about it, but I wasted an hour last night trying to figure out how to change my microphone port to a subwoofer port, and never did solve the problem. Linux is awesome, but sometimes basic stuff is ridiculously difficult or impossible.

I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

Hillary wasn’t likable. The DNC is to blame for pushing an unlikable, unpopular candidate. They’d rather lose with Hillary, than win with Bernie, so that’s what they did. That is not new behavior for them. Plus trump resonated with a lot of fed up idiots, so he got votes. Thankfully he didn’t get enough votes the second time around.

8 was a tragedy of Titanic proportions.

Obama did do a great job compared to everyone within 8 years on either side of him.

The brain and the soul make the man, not the body. Unless we’re talking about Mr. Universe champions, or other elite athletes.

You’re looking for logical consistency where none exists.

The best place to start is talking to people you know and checking if they have the in with any good jobs. Then if that doesn’t work, apply directly for jobs you find by checking with individual companies, ideally speaking with the hiring manager first. Jobs listed on job boards are really difficult to get. You’re up against everyone, and they have filters that accidentally discard a lot of qualified candidates.

I don’t want to change anyone’s mind anymore. I’m so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

Buy used or second hand if you can and build what you can.

We definitely do. 90% of the stuff in our house is from the thrift store. I have hand tools that are over 100 years old and still work great!

What’s your disgust at the people of china ?

Well that’s a leading question if I’ve ever seen one. I have nothing against the people of China. I have major issues with the government, and with the fact that they have literal slaves, working themselves to death for the benefit of immensely wealthy people that have more money than they could spend in a thousand opulent lifetimes. I have issues with child labor, and a lack of policies to protect the workers. Yes I know I own Chinese stuff. You can’t escape it anymore, but where there are alternatives, I always take them.

Idk about you guys, but I’m not interested in a Chinese car. I don’t even want Chinese tools. I have to buy all my hand tools from Germany or Japan now, since every US hand tool company manufacturers in China now.

We were all hoping that Red’s help meant Hyde wouldn’t turn out this way.

Leather needs to be maintained (oiled or polished), even if you’re not wearing them.

It would probably rupture your ear drums.
