It do be like that.

Yee haw, fuck the law.

I agree with my Tex Mex bazooka friend and now I want something in a flour tortilla with slightly too much cheese.

I have a few of these running HoloISO running around the house to stream graphic intense games from my main rig and to run smaller games locally. Runs fine with a 680m iGPU and I never have to leave the room I’m in (garage included) to play games if I want.

It cost more than a console, but far less than the 5 consoles I’d have to put out for that kind of convenience.

I thought you could hide those now.

Step one for gun control should be a fully functioning mental healthcare system. That’s not the final step by any means, but if people are getting the mental help they need there will be fewer shootings.

How many cows do they own in East Texas?

Sadly I did not. I have visited but I was only there a few weeks to have beer and bratwurst.

I’m starting to think that there are a lot of managers who demand the impossible.

Same. Technically I report to someone at the company I contract with but mostly that’s just to let them know when I’ll be in and when I won’t.

Was it me? Because I had that conversation back in '10 or '11. I ended up taking most of it off then took off the rest after the project “off the books” (but with an email paper trail because I’ve been burned before).

You’re absolutely right. Watching porn is not a big deal. I care far more about the hypocrisy of being part of a party who wants to ban porn while going every damn day to semen covered booths with glory holes than I do about the actual porn or anything he was doing in those booths. These are the people enacting porn bans on “moral grounds”.

Of course I care more about the Holocaust than the hypocrisy, but I can think he’s a shit stain for two reasons.

If the code is there it can be exploited, and that’s a big ol’ honking attack vector.

I’ve got everything from an American G&L to a shitty $80 acoustic bass off Amazon. My favorite that I purchased instead of built is currently a mid level Alvarez, followed very closely by a butterscotch Squier 51 that I’ve had since they first came out (for under $100).

The biggest problem with low end guitars and bass guitars these days is mostly QC. Sharp frets, super high action, and bad tuners are fixable as long as your neck isn’t complete garbage. The problem comes in when new folks really have no idea what it should feel like and they don’t want to take it down and pay half the cost of the instrument to have a good setup done. So they suffer and quit when they could have spent $45 and turned a garbage $80 no name special into a reasonable beginner instrument.

To be fair, QC has also become a problem with much more expensive guitars as well in some cases (looking at you, Gibson).

If the owner doesn’t enthusiastically want me there then I’m happy to slide in somewhere I’m welcome. I’ll never force my way in (unless they’re into that sort of thing).

I like to just slide in, get what I need, then slip on out. Sometimes I’ll even use the back door.

Thank you for the detailed and nuanced explanation. I feel much better informed now.

Isn’t that just nationalism?

Or an ice pick.
