2025-01-29 at 1:15 PM UTC in The shocking genetic reason letting women vote can't workOnly men are fair-minding regarding the sexes because only they have the full compliment of human chromosome types. You could actually make a woman from a man's genes but not vice versa.
Women don't really care about men aside from their sons. Men care about everyone. Women view the Y chromosome as alien genetic material. We have feminism but the word masculinism doesn't even exist.
Furthermore, the Y chromosome gets outvoted by the X chromosome 3:1.
For you illiterates:
Male, XY
Female, XX -
2025-01-29 at 2:10 AM UTC in So you want to try Linux, here's howMake a Ventoy thumb-drive (easy).
https://www.ventoy.net
d/l Mint, Zorin Core and Pop OS ISOs to it. These are the most popular noob distros.
Boot to the thumb-drive (check what BIOS settings you may need to change or what key may give you a boot menu, usually F12).
These are all live ISOs and will run your Linux distro. Choose from the list. Try each one. Check to see if all your hardware works, especially wifi and printer. You may have to manually install a driver or swap hardware. Here's a $7.50 2.4GHz wifi dongle that always works:

See which distro you like best. You'll probably go with Zorin cuz it's not ugly and is pretty much like Windows.
If you use Chrome, stay with Chrome. It'll make switching much easier. Install it by running the deb file.

Try Pinta for photos/graphics. Very easy to use. -
2025-01-29 at 12:11 AM UTC in Got a speeding ticketHad three when I was young but got out of all of them.
#1 Cop didn't show up.
#2 Cross examined the lady cop who paced me from behind. Asked if she were being tailgated, would she speed up or slow down? Judge must have thought it was a good question cuz he let me go.
#3 Black judge. He let everyone off.
After that, always had my radar detector. Saved me a hundred times.
But I'm retired and don't drive much and speeding isn't much fun anymore. Got caught in a speed zone set up for that purpose. Had just come off the highway so had not adjusted.
Waiting for my summons. Have lots of questions.
Got out the old Beltronics. Never gonna be without it.
Windshield stickers removed with Pinta in Zorin Linux. -

2025-01-28 at 8:10 PM UTC in I think Trump is itching to hit MexicoThe US military are the best killers who ever lived. 100:1 kill ratio. Comes from fighting so many wars for Israel.
Geography is everything. There is no way for any kind of Mexican resistance to be supplied. -

Except this time the hit squads will be able to sneak across the border and murder your family. When a car bomb explodes in downtown New York killing a member of the Trump family he is gonna regret crashing out like this.
Where will they get ammo/supplies? There ain't no Ho Chi Minh trail. Sea routes cut off. Why would they fight anyway?
The last time, we took Mexico City and the gov't. Some wanted to annex Mexico.
*Exterminate the gangs
*Install a competent, puppet gov't
*Keep the Baja
Or this. Drew it years ago and people thought it was funny. Doesn't look so funny now.
Most of Mexico could be absorbed. Just get rid of the worst mestizos and invite in 50MM Euros fleeing Islam. Let them speak Spanish all they want but the schools would be English only. Quebec could be adsorbed similarly. Just like Louisiana.
Eventually take over all of N America and build an imperial capital at Havana.

2025-01-28 at 6:07 PM UTC in I think Trump is itching to hit MexicoHalls of Montezuma 2.
I would:
*Mass troops on the Mexican border
*Then take Cuba (we already own it)
*When everyone thinks the Mexican thing was a diversion, hit Mexico
*When everyone is focused on that, take Canada
I call this: Operation left, right, uppercut. -

Only one review but the guy said they fit his big hands. They're fine. White but I have white in my scarf.
Yes, I pick up cans and other garbage. -
2025-01-28 at 3:53 PM UTC in I'm half as nearsighted as I used to beBTW, myopia is not a defect, it's a trait. It allows people to read and do hand work into middle age. It's linked with high IQ.
If you eliminated the trait, society might be in big trouble if reading glasses were ever not available. -
2025-01-28 at 3:05 PM UTC in I'm half as nearsighted as I used to beI would never consider lasik because my eyes are too sensitive. It wouldn't make any diff anyway, now. Instead of wearing glasses to drive, I'd have to wear them to read.
Lucky I have zero cataracts despite being fucking old. Always wore sunglasses.
Here's how good my eyesight is. I had to call to switch my phone sim and could perfectly read those tiny numbers. -
2025-01-28 at 2:51 PM UTC in Just bought a pet/human scaleForgot to mention. The chink instructions don't tell you but you can only flip the display during startup when all 8s are showing. You'll want to do this to get the display at the top for human use. Took me two days to figure it out.

Jesus Christ, do I have to take a pic proving he's not fat? He's a big male golden and has two walks a day.
BTW, this scale is also great for packages. It's very sensitive at the low end, unlike you normal bathroom scale. Everyone should have one. Also come in black. It's sold all over and there's nothing else in this price range. Get one today! -

2025-01-28 at 12:53 PM UTC in I'm half as nearsighted as I used to beI was pretty nearsighted:
-3.50
-3.75
Years ago, I got computer glasses that were +1.50, single focus. So:
-2.00
-2.25
My regular bifocals got so scratched up, I started wearing my computer glasses full time. Over the weeks, I kept seeing better and better and after a year, I can see perfectly. License plates and street signs are no problem. I sometimes forget I'm not wearing glasses. Trying my old glasses on makes me laugh.
I can now use the computer (27" monitor) without glasses if I get a bit close. I've always been able to read and see my phone without glasses but had to lift things a bit out of my lap. Now I don't, nice.
And the lenses are half as thick.
I also realized bifocals are kinda dumb. Now, the whole room is in focus. And single focus lenses are dirt cheap.
So it turns out my eyeballs were pretty adjustable. And I'm past retirement age. I highly recommend optometrists always give people one step down, 0.25, until their eyes stabilize. -
