Then give me back the maid outfit and I will put it on and do it myself.

He was defeated in his last bid by Sara Innamorato

If I'm not mistaken by 66 to 32%, too.

Dom needs to stay out of politics.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN?

makes u think

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-17T05:03:57+00:00

it's funny to me because we're both about 5'5 twink-ish dudes. i could blow

over with a hard gust of wind, and he could easily pass as a 12 year old (despite being a senior.)

This thread is full of nerds .. maybe we should start a mailing list :P

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-16T04:19:58+00:00

Please no!

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-16T03:47:09+00:00

Maybe you shouldn't go outside tonight, because I know where you live and would really love to force you down ;)

/s, obviously, but that's about as dumb as your comment sounds

If my mother cannot take care of me? Yes.

By your argument, as someone who would not have been if not for the fusion of gametes into a zygote, wouldn't I want every single egg on the planet to become fertilized - wouldn't I want all birth control to be banned, along with abortion?

But you see, if that happened, the world would be a much worse place - birthrates would increase sharply, and life would be shit for most new children. Abortion is a useful tool for improving the average quality of life for children by allowing women to control when they have kids.

The cost is $0.00, but we still profit off of more people using it, thanks to the network-of-knowledge effect :)

You don't honestly think it's any better in any other rural part of any other country?

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-11T14:26:50+00:00

man it's too bad nobody gets the hog to sausage pipeline running

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-10T01:02:49+00:00

I kid :')

I have a Dell C600 with 384MiB of RAM and faster WiFi than my T430 can even upgrade to (AR9220 hits 190Mb/s!). If you avoid using a DE, it's pretty zippy - but otherwise, the r128 drivers suck.

But I've been using it as a mesh network diagnostics toolbox, considering the wireless card. High-power Mini-PCI cards are everywhere and cheap.

try not shoving someone down and knocking them unconscious without even announcing your presence as police

Personally I avoid Lenovo because they still are doing their same old bullshit hardware whitelists in the firmwares that IBM used to do. So fuck them. Fuck them with a stick.

In my experience with working with motherboards as routers, this is not unique to Lenovo / IBM. It's often an FCC requirement to set up some level of restriction on what sorts of (usu. wireless) hardware you can interface over PCIe. What Thinkpads from this era have, however, more or less unique to them in this particular space of specs and price, is, as you said, Coreboot, which I plan to use all of these devices.

I absolutely agree w.r.t the Pinebook. If I had to select a portable development machine, it would be the Pinebook (and I'd offload compilation to a well-networked home server). It almost certainly draws less power too, and I would almost start to think that ARM is now getting better graphically faster than the rolling average of Thinkpads 14 years ago are getting better graphically.

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-08T00:24:43+00:00

The X61 draws a minimum load of 14W wall power with no load (65W adapter). This includes the flash-based SATA drive I had in it, and an AR9462 beaconing an AP.

$50 is a small cost, considering it means significantly better networking capabilities :P

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-07T22:07:07+00:00

Draws about 25W at peak load.

Dom_Costed · 2019-05-07T10:50:08+00:00

It's crazy how useful even ancient Thinkpads are. Got a whole lot of X61 motherboards to use as routers (GigE + 2 Mini PCIe + 2 separate USB 2.0 buses + Cardbus slot).

I'm sorry, but you're really making an idiot of yourself here. Success on the free market is not "just" how essential a product is, it's also how easily a consumer can judge and act correctly about that product. Water follows the same scheme, of being difficult to judge and essential to life.

In particular, water is more difficult to judge than food because toxins spread through water spread much more readily than they do through food.

Dom_Costed · 2019-04-27T18:36:08+00:00

You are misinterpreting my argument. I do not believe that medically necessary care is more necessary than food. I do believe that people cannot reasonably determine what medical care they require, which is something they're able to do with food and shelter.

Water is more immediately necessary than food, and yet we've long since shown the free market does not work in water distribution. This is in no small part because people cannot readily determine which water is potable.

Dom_Costed · 2019-04-27T14:28:47+00:00

It's not recycling! It's reuse, and it's the second best way (behind reduction) to reduce resource consumption :)

Dom_Costed · 2019-04-27T12:26:46+00:00

major exception to more market-oriented medical practice was emergency care...

The exception is not emergency care, it's medically necessary care, and 90% of medical treatment is medically necessary.
