Nothing of interest?

It reveals that the Hungarian Revolution (the one the Soviet Union suppressed) was funded by the CIA.

It stated that the American Federation of Labor had a high-ranking informant who sent frequent reports to the Agency.

And that's just the beginning, really

Nice try, identity theft! 😂

Job postings lie all the time; why shouldn't I lie in response?

Not without throwing a whole lot of other concepts in the trash (like capitalism and paywalling basic human necessities)

Framework is better hardware, having physically touched both S76 and Framework laptops.

My brother bought a Framework 16 recently with the discrete GPU on my recommendation and it was not silly pricing. Mobile workstations with discrete graphics and comparable specs in that size class were all $2000USD or more and the Framework was maybe 15% higher. Well worth it for the intentional repairability and upgradability.

Thanks for sharing the IWW link, fellow worker :)

Nintendo cares a lot about killing off emulation and ROM hosting wherever they can, actually. They send out cease and desist letters all the time and many projects and websites have been killed because of it. Thousands, I think, from single-person projects like "Another Metroid 2 Remake" all the way up to Team Xecuter. I think one of the Switch emulators that was in progress a couple years ago got killed off by the lawyers.

The catch is that reverse-engineered emulators being made without any Nintendo code, and made without the intention of profit, are not a violation of copyright law or Nintendo licensing and Nintendo has no grounds to sue the makers. But they're always keeping an eye on such projects waiting for something actionable.

This is why any given Nintendo emulator website or Github repository you can find will have zero links to any ROMs or any sources for them -- because anything like that will get an immediate letter and possible lawsuit.

Edit: I remembered right, Yuzu actually got sued and had to pay Nintendo 2.4 million USD. It's also dead in the water. https://www.pcgamer.com/software/nintendo-v-yuzu-switch-emulator-shut-down-settlement/

Bernie Sanders consistently polled better than anyone else against Trump in 2016

The US government banning anything based on suspected use of forced labor is laughable. Pretty blatantly anti-China, and very hypocritical when a lot of US states use glorified slave labor. It is quicker to name the large US companies that don't use prison labor than the ones that do.

That is a horrific endorsement and Dick Cheney is a monster.

I don't think Israel's government cares.

 

If you need advice that particular kind of DIY, feel free to post here and tag me or DM me directly. Hopefully I can be very helpful to some of you folks who either can't afford to pay expensive mechanics or want to learn on your own.

I work as an independent mobile mechanic in middle Tennessee (for now). My primary work is motorcycles and small engines, but I've done plenty of work on cars too. I used to post quite often on r/fixxit back before I left Reddit.

Pic is an example of my work. That's one of my motorcycles, which I resurrected from the dead. I took that picture while was riding to the small town of Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, to rebuild 4 carburetors for a customer, and in line waiting on a ferry to cross the Ohio river.
