Welcome, all of you who are finally coming to the realization that over-regulation is real, and a real problem.

Civilians and their property have been targets in war for centuries if not millennia. This is nothing new, and it's absolutely a valid way to end a war against a nation that is even marginally democratic.

If the people electing the leaders don't support the war, then, in theory, the war will end.

It worked for Vietnam. There was finally enough pushback from the people that not only did the US pull it's troops, but there was an anti war sentiment across the entire nation for at least a decade beyond it.

This is why there's so much propaganda against our "enemies" these days, to ensure that the people keep seeing them as enemies and not as people.

So did many Microprose simulators.

It's called a CB radio. Enjoy.

Old fart here. (49)

Trust me. It gets worse. If I don't drink water before bed, I will have a major headache when I wake up due to dehydration. If I do, I won't sleep through the night, as I'll be waking up 2 to 3 hours before I need to, because I have to piss like crazy.

And that's if I'm lucky. If I'm unlucky, it's less than 2 hours before, which makes it impossible to go back to sleep and not sleep right through an alarm.

Now I know why old men are typically so grumpy. Everything fucking hurts, and you don't get enough sleep.

Why is it that so many people do absolutely zero maintenance on their computers, and think that's completely normal?

Clean that bitch out at the very least. Allowing dust to build up in all the little books and crannies means it's not getting enough air flow.

It's typically common sense that when your AC isn't working well, you clean/replace the filter(s) to keep it operating at peak efficiency, and if you don't, you risk burning up fan and/or compressor motors.

Same thing with your car's cooling system. Keep that radiator grill clean of mud and dirt, or it's more likely to overheat and burn up your engine.

Why the fuck don't people think of that when it comes to their computers just blows my damn mind.

A tube of Arctic Silver thermal grease is less than 10 bucks. A can of compressed air is like 20 bucks, and will typically last for months.

Once a month, take the PC case outside, and blow out all the damn dust.

Every year or so, replace the thermal grease/paste.

"My computer runs slower and slower as times goes by!" Yeah no shit, it's trying not to burn itself up. Clean the fucker.

You can find adapters that can charge while still having a 3.5mm back

WTF, dude, get out of my pocket!

Aluminum is the original name for the element. It was changed to be more in line with the others in its group.

Been a KDE fan since the late 90s! Keep up the good work, y'all!

I drove 1500 miles with directions to the town center, and a phone number written on a paper plate. I then used a pay phone to call her and tell her "Surprise, I drove to your town, wheres your apartment?"

She bet me I wouldn't.

I won that bet. Victory party lasted the entire weekend, then I drove home. 😂

Ahh, 1998. May it never return.

But that would require me installing epic games.

Nope.
