get a beer in me on a thursday and can't resist a little 80s
Before buying something that may need maintenance & replacement parts years down the line, I go to the mfr’s website & see if it functions (over Tor w/default uMatrix js) & if they are reachable without a #CAPTCHA. If they fail that test, they get scratched off the shortlist. #rightToRepair
@skells I’m done even feigning sides in this matter, I’m in it for studying the military strategy and geopolitics. I want BRICS to break away for all the positive and negative reasons, and I want the US to make it’s death rattles, and I want to see the patriots rally for exactly what they were against a few years prior, and I want to see what comes of it all. The US has done such an amazing job at crippling itself that it’s six-to-five and pick-‘em what would happen if a world war broke out; it’s no who is stronger, it’s can the Americans reinvigorate a national war industry given the last 40 years, and can they do it before the Chinese and Russian junk-heaps are able to do what little they would need to do? And that’s if a declaration of war didn’t crack the country into pieces and leave a far bigger mess to clean up for any invading force.
