Entropy reduction. I do a lot of development work and need Visual Studio to work. It's a complex beast already, and I don't need to deal with the headache of fighting some activation hack or running the risk that some DLL or feature is gimped and causes weird behavior in an inactivated state.

I finally made the switch to Mint recently. My day to day experience is so much better. I set up a fresh Windows VM so I could keep using a few programs that don't play well with wine, and even having to purchase a new activation key for it was totally worth it to have it segregated out from my day to day. And I'd guess that not all that many people really need the specialty stuff I do.

Do a little research on what you use daily and/or can't live without, but I can confirm that it isn't as complicated as you might think.

Hope they're gonna devote the development resources to making it actually work.

Does that mean his communications will be subject to FOIA?

Our voices didn't matter. It didn't matter how we voted.

My suspicion is that she feels that way because she lost. A wild guess, but I think she's so selfish that she can't imagine other people's voice/desires mattering as much as her own personal wishes; their votes shouldn't count like her's does.

That thing about when he was in China was a shitshow from top to bottom. I had never even heard of the "controversy" so it was probably some bullshit the moderators threw in to appease the conspiracy lunatics and appear balanced. Then his answer was a bunch of nothing and flailing around. I don't think he even answered it. The closest he got was "that's what I said" and didn't address the accuracy of the statement or an explanation in his answer. And then he stopped with a few seconds left in his allotted time and froze up and stammered for the rest of it.

Tim Walz is, by all appearances, a stand up guy and smart as a tack. But that isn't really what drives these debates. If they were won and lost on the merits, no Republican would have been elected in my lifetime. But they're not about substance and by pretty much every measure that answer and interaction was a doozy of a loser.

But that was the only answer that he flubbed like that, so the night wasn't a total disaster for Walz. It just wasn't a win.

Don't forget the "distinct odor" lol. That just says to me that the cops lied through their teeth to get the warrant.

I hope whoever gets the website keeps it exactly the same in looks and tone, and instead of contributing to misinformation actively correct misinformation online and post accurate stories. Keep the vibe and over-the-top voice tho.

Pretty sure it's not an official plate. The sovereign citizens will print their own. Sometimes like this in an effort to fool cops into thinking its a regular plate so they don't get pulled over.
