Should have stuck with the British Monarchy, powerless as it comes. A woman as head of state for 70 years and even better, no elections for any president during any of time.

Here I go trying to explain my joke: The joke is that Stargates can only exist in or around Vancouver, because near enough the entirety of all Stargate TV series was filmed there.

But are we sure that’s a Einstein–Rosen bridge portal device that allows for near-instantaneous teleportation across both interstellar and extragalactic distances?

Its location doesn’t look instantaneously like a place in or even around Vancouver, BC.

And then try DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth that’ll get rid of the 9GB file for sure. If not, reinstall everything again and again and again.

Banning the party isn’t going to help.

Yes it will. It’ll mean it won’t be standing in elections, and that’s only fair because it’s an anti-democratic party… and it will deprive its members of broad protections afforded to parties and remove a unifying banner for them.

Banning anti-democratic institutions in a democracy is not only justified, it is conducive to the democracy’s survival. It lifts the bar for getting rid of democracy to be equivalent to not winning in an election but by establishing a second monopoly on violence, a far greater threshold and attempts at which are more straightforward to deter, prosecute and stamp out than being within every TikTok user’s first few swipes.

There’s nothing that prevents AfD voters from going to other parties, there’s plenty, or to voice their concerns in a new party that can be a legitimate part of the democratic system. Changing parties isn’t like banning a religion or a creed or a race, a party is hardly more than just a banner, the power of which can change between and during elections, at any time, through a simple act of the mind. Banning the party will absolutely help.

It sends a good message. It doesn’t send a message of wanting the silence the concerns of those who voted for the AfD in anything but the short term, it sends the message of ‘we hear you, but try again… a bit less fascist-y please’.

I’m thinking he might be happier with Noridian, ZephyrOS, Sylvanix, or AetherForge.

I myself have been trying neoNova, specTRAos, and VortexLinux and they’re all pretty good.

All of these are made up, I think, I just can’t cope with everybody and their dog still rolling their own distros (and alternatives to GNOME 3, thank goodness for KDE), even after 25 years of observing it happen over and over again.

Not quite the same, but you’ll be prying my imported 2004 Estima from my cold dead hands.

That’s console.trace() for all you JS devs out there.

Nintendo wound up sending the guy an unopened SNES

Of course they did, it says ‘92’, which clearly meant an expiry in 2092 starting as of, I don’t know, about the year 2000.

That, to me, looks like an intersection I would never want to turn left on in the first place in anything but the most deserted area.
