Any recommendations on a piracy-friendly e-reader? I don't want to go around the world to get root access either if I can help it.

Thanks for the input. I haven't been following this story closely.

We don't use the word "Spyware" like we did twenty years ago. It's baked into Windows now.

Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women.

Can I get a source for this? I've been living under a rock.

Best not to ~~poke~~ bomb the sleeping giant.

Native Mississippian here. I can't speak for Alabama, but parts of Mississippi, like the Mississippi Delta, are among the most impoverished parts of the country. While crime is relatively low apart from gang activity, I do remember seeing a notice at a Mississippi delta Dominos location with a special map on the wall. It showed parts of town they would not deliver to after dark.

My wife is from the Midwest and thought that was the most peculiar thing she had ever seen.

On the flip side, there are pockets of disproportionate wealth peppered across the state. These places are beautiful, but mostly unobtainable due to housing shortages and sky high interest rates. If you're lucky enough to snag a home in or around these nicer areas, the already low cost of living in the state can actually be quite nice.

Dear God that sounds like it would send my anxiety through the roof. Crazy original idea though. I'd still try it.

Cave hermit here and I was delighted the first time I launched Quake 3 Arena on a linux distro. I'm wading deeper into the linux pool since Microsoft has lost their mind. Ads have no place in an operating system.

Gaming has tied me to Windows for decades, but thanks to companies like Valve and System 76 the long awaited shift may continue accelerating.

I'm glad to be here to see it.

Am I brain damaged or is part of the joke the fact that the screenshot isn't legible?

Ninja Edit Nevermind. The Boost app seems to default to low res images.

I knew Tyson was a trash company, but this is blatantly predatory; up there with Nestle. They won't get any more of my money, but I wish there was an easy way to know which house (store) brands are using Tyson.

Don't forget the lemons for your party.
