Perpetrated by the US gov to further their tyrannical goals.

Love an Invader Zim reference.

Gaming laptops are great for those who don't understand they're getting a slower, harder to upgrade and more expensive system than a desktop.

Unless a college student in Tokyo with half a square foot of desk space, or travel a lot and like to game at the hotel, there are very few reasonable justifications for a gaming laptop. And even with those justifications they are a less-than-ideal situation. A desktop is always a better solution when feasible.

OMG. Did you know you have germs on you RIGHT NOW!?

Better drink bleach to take care of the germs internally too, just to be safe.

And you'd be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.

Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - https://www.engineering.com/story/potential-structural-reasons-for-the-titan-submersible-failure

"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”

There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

Definitely, I'm assuming you drink that hot and hot drinks don't generate condensation. All you need is a heat barrier and ceramic is great for that no matter what kind of finish it has.

We now use the scientific method to argue ideas, but in the past ideas could just be laughed at if people thought they sounded dumb.

Used to before the whole covid scam anyway. Now it's "trust the science" which of course is an oxymoron. The whole point of science is that we don't trust it, we verify it. And that wasn't allowed.

Hah, in the title photo with all the PCs, the far-right black case is what I'm still using at home. Ripped out a lot of the 2.5" drive bays to fit my GPU.

Nah, that's a hotbox. Unless you're a woman and only smoking with other women. Then it would be a clambake hotbox.

It may be dumb but it's been a proven concept repeatedly. Apple proves this every day. Designer clothes prove this.
