Perhaps add in the viewpoint of the "rancher" carnivore.
Ranching tech has bred pretty mindless prey animals that can be raised and slaughtered for food as needed, no hunting necessary. These prey aren't sentient anymore, so is killing them for food wrong?
Well, that's not at all what I said. Japanese compact cars were generally pretty cool and affordable in a way most similar small American cars were not, so of course they get customized a ton more that their American equivilents.
The people who actually made their cars perform were the racers, those who did the truly terrible mods were the ricers.
Yes, racist due to stereotyping. But it was more wordplay for insulting the taste of the person in question in comparison to the racers, not their ethnicity or the origin of their car. Bad taste is pretty universal. And as with pretty much anything in language, people can and clearly have used it as a racial insult. I just don't think that was it's origin.
I am really amused it has morphed into a more positive connotation with the *nix crowd, while still meaning essentially the same thing. Language truly is a living thing.
I mean it has clearly racist origins, but I've never actually heard it used in a racist manner in real life.
At least where I was, there were basically zero Asians, "ricers" were (typically but not exclusively) Japanese cars that were customized terribly, as someone else mentioned, all show and no go. You could have American ricers too.
The owners, the "rice boys", were pretty much all white guys.
My one experience was good. Randomly picked one place to call, they straight up told me it was gonna be a while until they could get to me, and to call this other company to see if they could help faster.
The place they recommended rerouted a couple of their drivers while I was on the phone to get to me faster, they were there in 30 minutes, did a good job, and the whole experience was very pleasant.
Definitely have both places in my contact list if I ever need another tow.
I have the Sportback and not the TourX, but it's still a great car. Got it for a steal too.
It's mostly decent, some interesting twists, but also plenty of dumb stuff in it too. It's only 7 episodes, so even if you don't end up liking it you haven't wasted much time!
Tanium has some common apps pre-packaged and regularly updated, you could just setup an ongoing deployment for those to automate keeping them up to date with minimal work on your part.
If you need to update something not on that list, you will need to make an upgrade package yourself with the updated installer or files.
Whether this is actually easy or not really depends on the app vendor and the software. It's usually straight forward, but not always. But that's the case with literally any software deployment solution.
I have one app in particular who's install and config essentially un-automateable. But it's a shitty LOB app that was written in the 90's to be intentionally obtuse to prevent privacy, hopefully that's not an issue in your case.
The Empire focused half of the show that was mostly made up specifically for the show is EXCELLENT tho, and really worth watching.
They should have just stuck with that and called the show Empire IMHO. Would have been an instant classic.
If you missed SG1, I am guessing you missed Farscape too. It really makes aliens actually Alien, it's universe is so weird and fantastic. And the characters and their interactions are great.
Definitely worth adding to the list.
Unfortunately nearly every graph on that page is intentionally misleading. If you actually adjust the graphs for inflation (where it's relevant), 1971 looks like just another year.
Lying with statistics!
