I had a boot disk that would run DR-DOS in a RAM disk because that was somehow lighter than MS-DOS' RAM footprint so that I could free up the 1MB or so to run Doom

Could be accurate if (lol) they're doing something that a properly empowered FTC/SEC/DOJ would be very interested in looking into.

He does not hold the cult of personality though. Trump has "dear leader"-level adulation among MAGATs, Vance has nothing close to that.

Not millions, but Trump's Covid response has been linked to nearly 60,000 excess deaths

it is, but the question is more like "someone has made a claim online that sounds scandalous! Do you a) immediately reply with your assumptions, or b) find sources and gather information about the claim before responding?"

I remember having to memorize some amount in like grade 10 science, I think the first 10 were required - but only the name, symbol, and in order. We didn't have to memorize any of the other details and on tests we either had a full table to work from or the test would provide the relevant information for the elements needed.

I think the memorization part was more a brain development excercise for kids, every class had some sort of "memorize these few things" up until grade 12 or so.

That's one of many things I find batshit insane about the US election process - the fact that there's a months-long period after the votes are counted and a winner declared that the losing president is STILL PRESIDENT and can just do whatever they want FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS!

AOL disks were great when they were sending out floppies.. free disks!

Because they're totally doing great and thriving under the current regime right? I'm not disagreeing that the Democrats need to go through substantial change, but the simple fact is that they are still the better choice compared to the dumpster fire that's going on right now.

At least there's still time to get good candidates on the ballot, and Mamdani has shown that a truly popular progressive has a chance to get past the establishment and win, hopefully more will follow that lead.

That still fulfils the offsite requirement of 3-2-1, so you're still good there. If you both have a NAS, then you can be each other's "cloud provider" as well.

Which is the reason for the local backup on my NAS - which is also in a RAID 5 configuration and can survive one drive failure with no loss of data, as well as the copies stored on the original devices. There would need to be a series of unfortunate events for me to lose everything.

Cloud storage allows normal people to better realize a proper 3-2-1 backup strategy though, since it facilitates offsite storage.

That being said, my very important stuff is backed up to more than one cloud provider, just in case.
