  1. Nothing breaks itself quite so eagerly as windows does. Because antivirus/endpoint protection (crowd strike) is security it gets frequent definition updates that are pushed out quickly. Since windows is a brittle cunt of an OS, one small thing sends it spiraling and more often than not requires a full OS refresh to unfuck
  2. DixonHur was here. Dude loves a good derail to push some talking points approved by fatty and Icono, the true luminaries of surly
  3. Lol windows is such a fkn pile, it's wild how easily one bad push update can cripple their OS globally. I've seen so many outages caused on Windows fleets just from one bad update that forces you to ol yeller the whole install and restart from scratch
  4. For more fun, check out Robert Evans' "Behind the Insurrection" spin off that he did right after Jan6. The case studies of all the fascist takeovers have SO. MANY. SIMILARITIES. with the republican efforts of today
  5. but republicans and mods get BIG MAD now when you're happy about a pedophile getting shot?
  6. Really fuckin weird, my wife had a matt carriker (demo ranch dude) video on her recommended scroll on YouTube this morning. I do not understand why media companies pump up dirt bags who sell "make politicians scared again" hats on his bunker banding apparel site https://web.archive.org/web/20240705070410/https://www.bunkerbranding.com/products/make-politicians-afraid-again-hat For some reason that product isn't on his storefront anymore...
  7. Lavrov has certainly stated clearly his expectations if US foreign policy suddenly takes a hard turn
  8. Lmao and Icono repped it too, surprised pronghorn wasn't on there too
  9. Isn't it grand living under an oligarchy where the people have no recourse to change anything and the wealthy are cleared to bribe officials because it's """protected speech"""? Lol yeah I'll go write and call my Congressperson and senators (state and fed) about the outage, that VM will go right to a full inbox and they'll reply to my letter after a couple quarters. If you don't have a trough of donations, you're just another customer to exploit and extract wealth from
  10. They're all just getting hot and bothered over the idea of voting for a child rapist
  11. Republicans literally attacked the Republic on January 6th with the intent to override the will of the people. They are the aggressors in this rapidly escalating civil unrest. For fucks sake, it was a REPUBLICAN who had been targeted for progun propaganda by the trump campaign that shot at trump.
  12. You're right, growing EBITDA by 13% YoY while failing to power a city is the hallmark of a healthy private public partnership
  13. It's not that price gouging was THE SINGULAR SOURCE of inflation - there absolutely were demand spikes and a lack of capacity to satisfy that spike. But gouging is a completely optional piece, that has been a pretty significant portion of inflation. However, incredulity is not someone capable of holding that thought in his head, and he calls anyone a communist who disagrees with him.
  14. It's not even controlling rent - isn't the proposal to simply not give tax breaks if they're increasing rent by over a certain threshold like 5% YoY or something?
  15. Wait Bozo, so it's your view that the one-off stimulus payments to individuals are the main contributing factor to the long-term sustained inflation that we observed post-COVID? I'm not sure I can see how giving American citizens an extra 3% of the median pay ($1400 stimmie) in a single payment is meaningful leg of support for long-term >50% cost increases.
  16. huh, the Corridor Digital crew are generally decent dudes - I think it's just aggy being tonedeaf and not thinking about how it looks to be gleeful in a waffen SS uniform. I'd bet that CD video is gonna be a banger though, they've made a ton of great stuff over the decade plus they've been going
  17. Hey man, can't blame aggy for wanting to play fake army stormtrooper. It's in their nature
  18. Because they're still part of the overall energy market through resellers wether I like it or not. The state converted a public utility into a private asset then sanctioned the monopoly and justified it with the lie of it being moderated by free market forces. Straight outta post soviet Russia, with the same outcomes for shareholders of goosed profits and shittier customer experience that doesn't matter because of monopoly power
  19. [NYT]Does this mean Joe Biden is too old to run?[/NYT]
