None of them do (-:. [But that won't stop one being chosen, and

What a captial idea!
Mailing some of these to snit's neighbors, "accidently" of course,
addressed to snit's wife but with the neighbor's addresses and
envelopes not sealed very well or not at all could be quite
interesting.
Consider it a public service warning the town about a seriously
mentally ill nut case living among them.

If anyone puts together an anonymous go fund me, I'll contribute.
Billboard space is inexpensive to rent. The real cost is paying for
the artwork and installation.

Similarly, what you just wrote is an opinion. However, I'd like for you
to argue with German health experts since you're knowledgeable about
everything under the sun. I'm sure that they know much less than you do.

A stomach flu is more contagious than that. Should we be worried about
that too and shut down our entire economy, impoverishing millions and
starving out others because someone might start taking a few dozen dumps
a day and vomiting?

Sure, that must be why most of us don't know anyone who got it, got
seriously sick or died. My father-in-law is the only person I know of
who actually knows someone who got it. He actually knows two: both of
them recovered but were sick for a while. It's so contagious that you
have to dig and dig to find someone who actually got affected.

Myself, I work around people of varying degrees of hygiene during the
whole year. Despite people supposedly getting infected even this year,
everyone survived and I somehow managed not to get infected despite
making no effort to socially distance, wash my hands or wear a mask.
Let's face it: the pandemic is a lie currently being used to prepare us
for something far worse. Not only that, but it seems to be in line with
what they're detailed in their Agenda 2030 plans. Similarly, everything
that we've experienced so far is identical to what was detailed in a
friggin' cartoon from 100 years ago:

WebMD, how authoritative.

It's absolutely stunning that they've never been able to successfully
develop a vaccine for the flu yet suddenly have a fool-proof way of
defending people from COVID-19. I have to admit that I am not as willing
and able to suspend reality as you are in believing that any of what
we're being told is true, especially as people are dying from the vaccine.

We'll see how true those statements end up being in 2023. I don't
believe that they are safe and since I'm in excellent health, I have no
desire to risk compromising any of that with a vaccine which, as of yet,
has not been approved by the FDA or even Health Canada outside of
emergency situations. They're authorized for any of you who are willing
to submit to the human experiment but not approved.

Also, I find it striking how even doctors are "conspiracy theorists" but
the fat, bald loser on CNN is clearly way more authoritative as a source
than any of these people despite regularly being proven wrong. I also
love how people like you claimed that it was a "conspiracy theory" that
they were planning on forcing vaccine passports on us even though that's
exactly what Britain and Canada just announced. I'm sure that it is also
a conspiracy that they will force the unvaccinated into camps until the
moment they do so.

Yeah, it would take someone who _really_ hates Apple to say bad things
about the M1 and the products which use it. No matter how you slice it,
they came out with what will long be regarded as one of the greatest
innovations in mobile computing. People might forget whatever machine
you're in front of at the moment, but they're not likely to forget how
much of an impact the M1 made.

To some extent. But they're still crazy powerful. Look
at all the people running VMs. What could be more ridiculous
and wasteful than to run one OS inside another because you
can't find one you like? Yet a lot of people do it. Why?
Because they can. They can afford to waste that much
power.

Things can still be slow, but I don't think that's for lack
of CPU and RAM.

vms are not wasteful and offer a *lot* of flexibility.

You reject science, fact checking, and evidence. You embrace conspiracies and
ignorance.

My condolences, but none of what you are saying is confirming that the
delta variant is more dangerous or that the vaccine works. You're simply
telling me a story which is supposed to stimulate emotion in me and get
me to back down. I am neither moved nor willing to back down on my
statement.

It is more contagious.

Massi evidence shows it does. Heck, well over 90% of those in hospitals are
not fully vaccinated.

Logic, fact checking, scientific studies are more than emotion. Please stop
spreading lies.

Right. I buy Macs when they serve me best for the least money. When other

From a hardware perspective, the purpose of an open ecosystem
(on desktops), is to foster competition and get better
prices on hardware.

That's how I was able to get a $65 motherboard in the past,
that was perfectly functional.
