“Unlucky Backup” is probably worse.

You’re sure acting like it.

No, they teleport under your bed.

I live near the border and have for decades. You’ve chosen to believe racist lies.

Then don’t call it a new reality. It’s the same fucking reality. The border chaos narrative has always been racist bullshit.

A new reality? Fuck off. It’s the same as it’s been for the past few decades. Migrant surges and chaos are bullshit made up by racist Republicans in order to manipulate their bigoted base.

If the press had bothered to fucking check in the first goddamned place instead of just taking the “border chaos” narrative at face value, maybe they wouldn’t be so surprised when they actually bother to look.

Don’t forget the GPL itself.

An opossum got into our garage a few months ago and our dogs found it. They had the poor thing cornered and hissing. I got them out of the garage and after making sure they didn’t get bit, I evicted the possum.

The dogs do everything they can to get into that garage and make a beeline for that corner every time.

I can already hear the 60 cycle ground loop hum that he’ll never be able to track down.

Your assessment of probability is speculation

It is, but anecdote is insufficient to counter it.

Hence “are likely to be,” not “are always.”

Microsoft has been consistently “stupid” for a very long time about this one particular thing.

People who dual boot are likely to be linux newbies just trying it out. They’re more likely to blame linux when microsoft does what it does to competitors.

If Microsoft didn’t have a decades-long record of pulling shit like this, they might get the benefit of the doubt.

Lot easier to swap parts on a thinkpad.

I knew who it was before I opened it.

RGV here. Just barely getting rain now.

I’ve found that it’s worthwhile to know which HEB’s have dry ice. They have generators and will be open if they can.

or disassemble

That depends on how quickly and safely you want the disassembly to take place.

Ads for replacements for items in your luggage they broke?

The whole experience sounds like an ad for Greyhound or Amtrak.
