Nice, is your ram 4x8, 2x16, or 1x32? How about those m.2 slots?

You don’t need overclocking or undervolting to squeeze a bit more out of the system with dual or quad DDR and an nvme drive.

Maybe no over/under tweaking with the non K CPU and B motherboard. No matter, upgrade is sweet anyway.

Sweet upgrade!

Sure, here you go.

So the lesson for republicans is if you are going to try to disenfranchise an entire state, replacing the legitimate all or nothing statewide electoral college votes with criminally fake electors and fake certificates, just sign the paperwork in a heavily republican area. Worst case scenario you might face an elected republican judge and a heavily republican jury, best case is they throw out the case. Not bad if you are a fascist working the system.

The best condiments.

There are dozens of us.

“Oh you know, that’s too personal”

Well it would help an awful lot for so called moderate allies to stop whinging over the methods and start focusing on the message. Everyone who pours into a comment section to opine over their “agreeing with the cause, but not the act of protest” is carrying water for the oil companies. It’s these people who help establish and maintain the permission structure for the out of hand dismissal of climate protests.

We should be uncomfortable with protests, people should be made to feel discomfort, tension, and cognitive dissonance. These things work to end injustice better than all the polite ignorable protests that have ever happened.

We should be extreme in our opposition to the climate disaster currently unfolding. The heat is extreme, the hurricanes extreme, the drought is extreme, the crop failures are extreme and the dead and dying ecosystems are extreme.

We the public have been politely asking for climate solutions for decades while the extremist oil and gas companies hid the extent of their knowledge from us and used lies to convince half the population nothing is wrong. Even now, the oil and gas lobby lie and plan for expansion into poorer countries where western regulations can’t touch touch them. They’ll burn every drop, take every dollar, and Fuck over everything in doing it.

So you know what? When I see these people throwing paint on things, gluing themselves down, and causing tension I say good, good for them, be extreme. These protestors have convinced me over the last couple of years with these acts and nothing they’ve done is anywhere near as extreme as climate change.

Climate change is killing people, right now, probably thousands every year, that’s fucking extreme and its getting worse. These protestors threw paint on objects.

I’m not sure what to take from this second half, is protest only valid if it happens under a set of circumstances and targets you’ve chosen? Is protest by a westerner invalid if they don’t take a net zero canoe to India or China or Saudi Arabia to deface something there? Surely not.

Just a note for anyone disagreeing with the sentiment of my last line. I would have agreed with you a year or two ago, but then I read Martin Luther King’s Letter from the Birmingham jail and it changed my mind entirely on the nature of protest, nessecary tension, and the role of so called moderates in perpetuating injustice.

Give the letter a read, hear some analysis on it, it might change your mind like it did mine.

Nothing really, but the protest does shine a light on humanities superficial respect for historically important monuments and cultural sites especially when it comes to climate change.

Stonehenge is a culturally important site, no doubt about it, and the reaction to the protest has been swift and strong and includes criminal charges. But the same state that condemns these actions in the harshest terms is timid in the face of the much more destructive acts of climate change.

Where is the outrage over the climate driven erosion of the Cliffs of Dover? Or the surge risk to the tower Of London? Or Orkney Islands? Not even to mention the risks to human health, food production, invasive species, and fires.

Personally, I’m done carrying water for big oil and climate deniers by focusing on the method of protest instead of the message.

Yea, I plan to go again in the next year and in CAD it’s about $2500 for flights for four, $2750 for five days of tickets, $1200 offsite accommodations, plus food and local transportation.

There are other ways to go, to stay on park or get package deals but $7000 seems about right for a family of four.

Ebike software allows for the modification of ebike speeds. Unless in Cali it isn’t like that.

Cool!

Are you telling me a human body is different from a manikan torso?

Seriously though, I think you’re onto something.
