Well, they’re long dead. I’m more despondent at Biden giving the J6 instigators a free pass.

That’s literally what I am talking about. It’s a pattern that goes back to before either of us were here, but that we feel and see as a result.

What tools do you use for visualizing design patterns in programs!

Even with FDR, he essentially gave the group that attempted a coupé/assassination a slap on the wrist rather than what they should have gotten. What does that have to do with this conversation? Any time some group or party does something heinous in this country they are given a pass to “maintain unity” or whatever going back to the civil war which just enables more of their bull shit.

I can understand if a person is against the death penalty for any reason. I’m mostly against it myself. However, at the barest minimum those who were part of the Confederacy should have been barred from holding public office of any kind or participating in anything that would influence public policy beyond maybe their right to vote

Well, I’m mildly autistic with absolutely zero charisma, and follow through with my moral and ethical beliefs almost to a fault. I’m probably “smarter” than average, but nowhere near smart enough for it to offset any of the previously mentioned issues.

So I’d be dumb and charismatic at a minimum. Sounds like I’d be set for life and quite happy.

We could just tax the rich…

Graduated with an engineering degree just before the teens and have always had multiple round interviews :/

Quick question, you said air intake at the front bottom. Is that what the black oval at the bottom of your render is? Or is the black bar USB ports?

Oh snap, I found the user manual and it has a much better image

I know it’s super low resolution, but the Acer B300 desktop I found on their website in the Wayback Machine looks really close to your render.

I can’t seem to find any other images of it though.

Not an answer but another idea for jogging your memory. I don’t know what PC magazines were popular in Germany, uhh well ever, but it’s not too hard to find archived copies of popular magazines here in the US from that time.

Here is a random copy of PC Magazine from some month in 2006.I didn’t see any PCs that matched your rendering, but there was an Acer Aspire that I had completely forgotten about.

Your second point is specifically the reason I don’t pay for Premium. I would actually really like to but unless there is some kind of guarantee they won’t be double dipping, I’m not going to.

Isn’t that more ADHD? Maybe AuDHD?

Kissinger lived to be 100 years old. Unfortunately I think this shit bag will be around for quite a while.

Ain’t that the fucking truth.

In a weird way autism may have partly spared me from a lot of mental trauma and issues. Growing up I went through a lot of things that tends to people having a lot of self doubt, anxiety, people pleasing tendencies, etc. I knew from a very young age though (maybe not as concretely as I do now) that what was happening to me wasn’t my fault. Like sure I knew I was a kid and that certain things about me were difficult, but it was very clear to me when the things adults did made no sense or were hypocritical. That’s not to say I didn’t end up with other issues like poor social skills, but that still seems a lot better than the previously mentioned options.

Also, I’m still wanting to know when I get all the taxes I paid back since we apparently aren’t ever supposed to be paying taxes.

Really? Because I just got whipped with a switch or a belt when I had my little boy autistic meltdowns.

Have a look at Heliboard. It’s open source. To get swipe you have to import a component that is extracted from GBoard that doesn’t come with the app, but it can be acquired from… places.

I have always been baffled by the aesthetics argument. There is anther city I sometimes visit and the best part of the drive is this stretch of highway that goes on for several miles where you are flanked by windmills. There are hundreds in total and to me they are borderline awe inspiring. Absolutely gorgeous.

Is it? Wouldn’t a bunch of homeless people in tents be worse?
