You realize that data comes from the same place, right?

This is one of the reasons I stayed. It was still small enough back then that you actually started to recognize people you had conversations with, and not just the troll farms.

Who’s chopper is this?

You’re probably right. I’ll admit it’s a self selection bias because I’m old enough to have made up my mind not to associate with people that have fundamentally different beliefs than I do.

So there are likely a lot of them, but none of them are MY friends, so it’s easy enough to believe in my little sphere.

Yeah dude, I’m fairly confident most of us dislike Reagan a fucking lot.

At least, most people in my generation that I hang out with, so it could be self selecting.

Blue is the one that threw me, but once I caught purple I understood it.

TCEQ is a fucking joke. They’re a rubber stamp for anything industry wants, and they don’t care where.

Burnet county TX residents are currently trying to fight the installation of (another) rock crusher/quarry in an area with limited water and where three other similar plants already exist.

TCEQ rubber stamped their air quality permit after admitting they have ZERO air quality monitors in the entire county. But I’m sure it’s fine.

If that’s their approach, I’ll just refrain from doing business with a company whose default position is that their customers are intending to commit fraud.

Yeah… that should be tied to the product, not a person. And it doesn’t need a unique serial number. Take the old one back, verify it’s not a fraud, send the replacement. If it’s a fraud, destroy it and let the customer know why, then offer them credit on a genuine piece.

A backpack company doesn’t need to know who I am.

No one is wondering why a backpack has a serial number to begin with? Vehicles, sure. Electronics, ok. But a backpack? Why does it even need a serial number?

It’s essentially a clothing item. My t-shirts don’t have serial numbers. I’m just finding it a bit insane that a backpack would have a unique serial.

Fucking Phil.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the issue, but I’m reading it as a dislike for the new “modern” start menu in win11 that’s center screen and feels designed for touch interfaces?

You can disable that and turn it more like a win 7 style start menu.

but I still can’t get over the crippled start menu

You know you can set it back to “legacy”, right? I’ve been using Win11 since it was beta and when you swap the new default gui elements back to “legacy”, it’s much better than even win 10.

I like looking at female characters more than male characters. I enjoy the female form.
