Absolutely!

I love giving old hardware a new life.

Once I've finished tinkering, and if it's fully functional, I give them to poor families who can't afford to buy a laptop for their kids.

Sadly, there are a lot of those here in Appalachia.

We former military have ways of dealing with enemies of the state.

I'll ~~make Debian servers out of~~ recycle your old intel Macs for you! Just pay to ship them to me. 🥰

They'll just pretend like they don't know each other when they cross paths at divorce court - just like they do at the liquor store.

No, I didn't.

I use an anonymous YT client, and wasn't aware it did that.

I can't see the Reddit posts, but as an Army veteran - my money is on them using CS gas. The stuff really sucks, and can incapacitate you if you're not ready to counter it.

Can we not link to Reddit? I get a page that says I'm being blocked and need to log in, which I can't do because they banned me about 4 years ago for promoting punching Nazis.

I want an eye replacement with a few extra ~~opsins~~ options, and some EM sense like what birds have

That's possible, but our brains haven't evolved to interpret anything outside of the visible spectrum.

Hypothetically, we could guide human evolution by introducing such tech into newborn babies for several generations.

If the aluminum is old, it formas a patina of aluminum hydroxide/aluminum hydride/aluminium oxide that stabilizes it somewhat.

People often don't know - because water autoionizes, it is both an acid and a base. This is why so many things can readily dissolve in it.

I miss glass bottles of coke.

They're still available, but mainstream supermarkets don't tend to carry them as much.

I wonder if this is related to GNU Taler?

My brain sees theme and wallpaper interchangeably. Sorry, fixed it.

We aren't sure about his age, but the vet estimates that he is between 3 and 5 years old.

He was used as a breeding stud at a puppy mill, then dumped at the rescue when they were done with him.

He has some anxiety and other neurosis, so he fits right in with the rest of the family.
