I’ve used Calibre and stripped DRM off eBooks, definitely recommend.

Build a gaming rig on Newegg credit, pay it off interest free in 12-24 months depending on current deals.

I for one am a lifelong Nintendo customer that has finally decided to boycott them moving forward. Plenty of other companies to support.

Congrats Nintendo, I’m done with you. SNES, Gameboy, N64, GameCube, Wii, Switch, and now done for good. Cantankerous old dinosaur of a company that has lost touch with the world.

Sounds like a viable market gap for a new manufacturer!

Lol, then I guess they can provide that access for free, indefinitely, all for just making sure they keep 200K (max) people in Brazil on Xitter.

Is there precedent for the US government just flat out nationalizing a company like SpaceX?

Then I am pleased to be wrong!

A classic from Introversion. It’s a bit older so it’s gotten over the review threshold by now, but I’d wager it’s relatively unknown.

Absolutely correct. CAT 5e should be able to max out at 125MB/s.

Link to the Past for being my first. Twilight Princess for the modern era.

You mean lease it? Rent it? Own implies it’s mine period. Not mine until they decide to remove it. A bank can’t take away your house cuz they feel like it after you’ve paid for it.

Fair enough. I’ll never argue against being specific and accurate!

I will grant that it is different. But is it meaningfully different? Either way, the people are not represented.

Semantics. It’s genocide then. Or some other more technical term. There’s a word for it, who cares? Everyone knows what we mean. And that’s the point of words. To covey a meaning from one mind to another.

If you want to play the semantics game and abolish in-context definitions of words, then abolish all slang and idioms too.

Sorry, didn’t quite understand that, autocorrect mess it up?

Oh and one more thing.

Most competent people would just pick: destroy the group responsible for the attack at all costs.

Yeah, and how’s that been working out for peace in the middle East? Doesn’t feel like the whole region is enjoying the decisions of the “competent” people. For decades. Maybe the problem is itchy trigger fingers like yours. Justice and Vengeance are rarely the same thing.

Example? Just so I’m not beating around the bush, here’s what I mean by being kind, and you can let me know if Israel has been kind to Palestinians by this metric.

You cannot rule without consent of the governed. I’m not super well versed on what’s been tried, but violence, terrorism, and crime are generally carried out by unhappy, stressed people.

From what I’ve gathered, Palestinian areas in Israel are basically little more than glorified prisons with terrible living conditions.

My question is, what control does Israel have over their living conditions, and what control do the Palestinians have over their local government.

Can they meaningfully improve their lives on their own? How has Israel been kind?

What are you talking about? When I say consent of the governed, I am referring to living Palestinians.

Nope, I simply answered nonsense with nonsense. You don’t get to create some nonsensical Kobayashi Maru scenario with vague definitions and ambiguous starting parameters.

Let’s get real. You want to know what I would do in response to the initial terrorist attack that Israel faced? It wouldn’t be genocide against Gaza. My response would be rooted in the truth that you cannot rule without consent of the governed. The entire reality that Israel was trying to live was a sham that was never going to be a stable solution.
