I prefer to compensate for my teeny-tiny penis with large caliber firearms. My pickup won't work since it is well before the era of Monster Trucks and doesn't require a stepladder to mount and two parking spaces.

My pickup won't work since it is well before the era of > Monster Trucks and doesn't require a stepladder to mount and two parking > spaces. I had a Dodge RAM 2500 once, king cab, 4WD. Took it on 40 miles of bad road 4-wheeling with my folks in their pickup, heading up to see Peter Lassen's grave. A tail light rattled off. My STI would have been better. That thing was a mess. Sold it for peanuts, was just glad to be rid of the thing. I guess my Dodge wasn't "RAM tough". The thing about Subarus is that they are built by Fuji Heavy Industries -- an aircraft company. I think they're the best bang for the buck on the market, which is why we now drive an Ascent. Thinking of trading in the STI for Subaru's new electric car -- either that or an up-market WRX, which supports "eyesight" for things like adaptive cruise control. (The STI, being manual shift, doesn't support it.) -- -v System76 Thelio Mega v1.1 x86_64 NVIDIA RTX 3090Ti 24G OS: Linux 6.16.1 D: Mint 22.1 DE: Xfce 4.18 NVIDIA: 580.76.05 Mem: 258G "Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects."

The quote he used is from Paul commenting on the Corinthians' treatment of some "self-important" dweebs. Don't get me wrong, I think Paul was flawed; but that was a good letter he wrote (wherein he admits to being flawed, among other things).

Well, good for you. G.K. Chesterton once wrote, "We have the right NOT to know." I don't want to know what these idiots have to say, after they've proved they have nothing worse saying. Life is too short to put up with this kind of bullshit, so I don't. You can choose how you wish to waste your time. And, by the way, filtering out what I (personally) don't want to read is not "censorship" as it does not to limit "freedom of speech." But if these writers want me to read their crap, they'll have to make it worth reading. Choice is good. I choose not to be bogged down by wading through stupid bullshit. -- Definition of Insanity: Thinking you can beat the Bear on his own territory.

That had to be the most absurd "Linux Advocacy" I have ever seen in 30 years on usenet. And as you can imagine, that's up against some pretty stiff competition.

If you paid for a Windows license by purchasing a computer or buying a boxed version of it, then there should be no advertisements in Windows. If Windows was obtained as a free upgrade, Microsoft has a right to advertise in a targeted way. If people didn't want to get ads or be targeted, they could have opted out of updating their systems. Granted, Microsoft didn't give them much of a choice when it forced upgrades on Windows 10 installs. -- God be with you, CrudeSausage Islam is the enemy John 14:6

I don’t think that’s helping enough, though. I think the deliberate mass obsolescence Microsoft has brought in with the Windows 10 → 11 transition is in part a revenue grab. You can see the effect of declining Windows revenues in the corresponding decline that Microsoft has been making in keeping up the quality of the software.
