Theres been some discussions at my work for travel to a couple of our production plants, and while nothing is concretely planned I’m going to flat out say I am not flying for the next few months because of all this.

That shelf sag scares me, sir. At least reinforce each layer with a slab of plywood or something.

Who let William Shatner in here?

Fuck yourself with a cactus stupid CEO lady

Whatever is cheapest. When youre first starting out basically any hardware will do, it just needs to boot Linux. As you progress and find more stuff to put on the servers, you’ll discover what you’re real hardware needs are.

When I first started, it was a hand me down single core AMD Sempron machine (socket 754!) that I later upgraded to an Athlon64 and 4gb of DDR. I managed to bodge that poor thing into running a Minecraft 1.5.2 server.

Personally I would stick with the i3 machine since I am assuming it’s an office PC that can be had for cheaper than a Pi 5 (which is quite inflated in price IMO). x86 still retains better software support vs ARM and they are significantly easier to attach large cheap storage to via SATA. Power cost will be greater but I doubt an office i3 pulls more than 70w wall power at full load.

As well as World War III killing a double digit percentage of the world population.

Not anymore. Those penalties expired federally in 2018 and the state I am in does not have its own coverage mandate penalties far as I can tell.

I’m a young healthy male without much need for health insurance. Do I opt myself out of it for the next year? The money I’d save on my employer sponsored premium would be fairly significant and help me get assets I actually need.

For russia. These sanctions are basically toothless, Russian corporations have already decoupled from the Western banking system and are shadow-fleeting all their oil to willing buyers in India and China without much reduction in flow. This is a theater play.

Does that mean I can stop paying taxes on it too?

At this point, it will rip the bandaid off and make desperate people come after Republicans. That’s the best possible outcome.

They don’t catch on fire anymore, just fill with diarrhea from an incontinent asshole.

Nah. Market weight steer prices have gone up at auction, and herd sizes are down, but not as much as wholesale beef has gone up. Middle man processors (who are monopolized via the USDA licensing process) are raking in the dough because fuck you.

Gideons usually distribute them.

Some specific hotel chains, mainly Marriott’s, are owned by Mormons and also mandate that the book of Mormon be placed in the rooms too.

I live in an ultra red shithole and even we had an easy 300+ people turn out and line an entire intersection with signs. Shit is looking good.

Ya I ain’t readin allat

I normally thought this way, but most cinemas make cents at best on movie tickets. Vast majority of the ticket price goes directly to the producer. The only way they cover the rest of their overhead (and stay in business) is thru concessions.

No no, illegal for CITIZENS to use. I’m sure they’ll have a licensing requirement allowing their use for corporate entities of course.

Zero sum game
