The 1/4" jacks became standard before metric ruled the world. Besides, 1/4" jacks are way sturdier than 3.5mm posts. Now if the metric guys came up with a 7.0mm jack - we can talk transition.
Who? And in light of a felonious ex “presidente”, treason to be precise, why does this guy even show up on the radar anymore? Fuck it. Let him freely walk about the cabin.
I’m getting really tired of my food expiring before I make anything with it, and I want to quit buying anything that can’t be frozen or last several months in the cupboard.
Rice, beans (canned or dried - dried lasts “forever” basically), canned or tinned meats or dried meats. Most hot sauces (Louisiana). Pasta. Pasta with ‘tinned’ sauces. etc.
You make it sound so easy… simple… wholesome. When it’s nothing like that. No. Nothing like that at all. The Lem will grow. Patience little one. Enjoy the quiet and calm while you may. and above all - learn.
Exactly. Or as they’re called in the Swedish Tongue - maSSturbatoriums. No such thing. Silly Polish people. Sweden waves its genitals in your general direction.
A hundred different languages all doing the same thing… making the hardware ‘work’. Some programmer has a “better idea” and all the while the architecture remains the same. ish. What’s the point?

We’ve come a long way from cave drawings and hieroglyphics. We’ve developed languages capable of expressing tiny details in amazing clarity; succinctly, pointedly, and without confusion as to their meaning.
And yet there is a whole new wave of people unable to use those languages correctly or even rudimentarily who drag civilization backwards by returning to hieroglyphics.
I’m almost of the opinion we’ve reached “peak human” and are now backsliding. Yes, of course it’s self inflicted - how else could we as a species do an ‘about face’ and head back to cave dwelling? However it happens and whomever is responsible, here we are… and we’re losing ground fast.
Nah, but it’s good to rile up the monkeys every once in a while. Else they sit around jacking and jillies and slipping into the photon coma. Stirs up their blood. Fires a neuron or two.
Because corporate profit means more than people. Now that China isn’t ‘the economy the world is based on’ - their production is down AND their pollution is down.
Yes, but this is about more eloquent expressive languages and complex meanings imparted by words being subverted to something akin to monkeys signing for a gumdrop.
That all who’ve flamed me for bringing this point to light, you’ve actually proven my point and shown exactly where ‘we’ are on the timetable - thanks for your ill thoughts.
Yes, and still the air in China’s major cities and regions can be cut with a knife on a bad day. And you’re right - the U.S.'s ‘green’ push came to a screeching halt most places when oil and gas and coal said “fuck this shit - y’all can’t have that green stuff” … and here we are; some states even penalizing criminally being “off the grid”.
Those fuckers are not going to go quietly. Don’t blame the common people of the country because of corporations running governments passing laws for corporations.
JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling. “Listen,” said Dr. Marwan Abu Sada as fighting raged around Shifa Hospital.
Because Israel is committing war crimes. Because Israel has stated, unequivocally, that Palestinians are animals and must be scourged off the face of the earth.
Remember that “top U.S. general” who unequivocally and with 100% certainty told the U.S. that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction - which led to the longest “war”, for nothing, in U.S. history?
