It's only illegal if someone enforces the law, a judge holds a trial, and an actual punishment is meted out.

Given how little taste our justice system has for holding rich people accountable, it starts to get fuzzy around what is illegal or not. As President GW Bush said: "The Constitution is just a piece of paper." While he's wrong about the material, he was correct that unless people believe in the ideals and rules laid down by the Constitution, then actually build a nation who follows and enforces their ideals, the Condition just sits there as a pile of material.

There's tiny bits of real city around the US. It's usually leftover fragments that managed to survive through the carpocalypse of the 30' to today.

There are very few real city places larger than a 1/4 sq mile here.

Nothing. Build it if you want, but parking minimums are anti-people and city decaying laws.

Since we gave up E Pluribus Unum for In God We Trust the American nation has had trouble holding what shared national ideals we did have and headed straight towards "fuck you, I got mine" as a national mantra.

Who will help them? They can God ask their Republican/Conservative reps for it. True FAFO results.

According to Fox News, President Obama is still president and so is Traitor Trump. Everyone is president, depending upon who is watching at the moment to stir up one kind of hatred or another.

I had a Pentium I 120 MHz Packard Hell machine. It came with Win95 OSR 1 and I loved that beast. I upgraded the disk (1.1 GB to 3.1GB!) and the RAM up to 40MB. The screen was a 13" fishbowl so I get a Sony Trinitron 15" screen eventually.

The combo modem/fax/sound ISA card wasn't worth keeping, but I got a PCI Sound blaster as well as a 3Com 3c905 fast 10/100 Ethernet card. I had one of the best machines in the dorm for a while. Warcraft II played so very good.

The Linux support in RedHat 5.2, then through 6.2, and sometimes Mandrake, OpenBSD, and some other distros was great. As long as you set the IRQs in the bios right it worked like a dream.

And nothing of value was lost.

They invited them in and became the Nazi bar of the anecdote. Don't let them in, even if they're playing nice at the start. You can't use the right wing extremest for your own ends. They're going to take over because they don't have limits or the good of anyone in mind. Once they're in your tent they will eat you. It's happened time and again throughout history and you didn't learn so now you burn.

The pages doesn't clarify: could I use the M.2 for storage instead of wifi?

I've got a hardline for net, what I need is a better disk than MicroSD or buying an emmc module.

It was quite early for me. I shouldn't post when delirious.

That doesn't make them correct. The strength of the belief has no bearing on reality unless it's combined with evidence to warrant that belief.

Gotta protect those gas stoves, oversized pickups, generally fucking everything up out of anger, and fighting culture wars instead of the class war keeping us all in the gutter.
