Mint is like Ubuntu but without the recent brain damage.

The Art Department (other guy writing the game with me) is currently using Mint with dual 4k screens.

Not surprising. Plasma is a glitchy pile of shit.

Upgrade to Fluxbox

Youtube has ads?

There are spherical washers that allow up to 7 degrees of misalignment.

I'll report back in no more than 23:06.

It's an NSA op to backdoor linux, using troons and hipsters as cover.

It's not eve "memory safe"; you have to turn that shit off to get even vaguely reasonable performance.

Isn't India the India of Asia?

No way... I just saw that thumbnail and thought "I should screenshot this with the comment 'Please don't be clickbait...' "

Was too lazy tho

Prison? They already robbed us, don't spend any more money on them. One rope will do, as it's reusable.

And every bandaid makes it worse. Imagine if after the 2008 crash banks were allowed to fail and interest rates were parked at ~10%. It would have been slightly unpleasant, but prices would have fallen and everyone would be in a much better financial position now, save the banksters.

All the more reason the federal funds rate should be parked at 20% for the next few decades, and existing mortgages owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should all be recast to no lower than 12%, and no banks should be bailed out if their portfolioed mortgages fail, causing them to also fail.

The people who get fucked by the (much needed) real estate crash should be the ones who rode it up in the first place.

Tests shouldn't be given remotely. It was dumb in the past, but now it's just insane.

That merely accelerated the matter. Retirement ages are far too low, native fertility rate is below replacement (much less actively growing), and modern end-of-life let-me-spend-my-kids-inheritance-to-cling-on-to-three-more-miserable-years-of-nursing-home-existence medical costs are astronomical. From a financial perspective, the migrants probably only worsened the problem by a handful of years.

What even is punctuation?

Everywhere else either A) doesn't loot their pension fund (I'm not aware of a place like this, but it's included for completeness), or B) is also a Ponzi scheme and will also collapse in due time, some sooner than others.

The special government securities come in two types: short-term certificates of indebtedness, which mature on the following June 30, and bonds with a term of one to 15 years. The short-term certificates and bonds issued to the Social Security trust funds are not traded in the bond market or available to the public. Like other Treasury securities, however, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

By the slightest amount of smoke and mirrors, to fool people who are completely economically illiterate.

That's exactly not how pensions work. Pensions are where a company or government saves or invests some portion of your earnings in order to pay it back later. It's a savings account for people who are too retarded to handle saving money (which is a lot of people).

What inevitably happens though is that the pension fund is looted one way or another and the whole thing turns into a Ponzi scheme. The Boomers looted the SS pension fund (anyone remember Al Gore and his Lock Box?) and now there's no money in it so they're passing the payments of young people directly to the old people (Ponzi scheme).

It will filter the midwits. The gap between the capable and the incapable will widen significantly.

It'll pass with the hype train. There are very few economically valuable uses for this tech that involve a human writing prompts, much less doing so "well", whatever that even means.
