    It's proven far too easy to spin any topic in such a way that a sizable portion of Americans will rally behind a cause that is clearly against American interests.

    Part of my fear is knowing that if I hurt myself I'm going to be very angry with myself for being cheap and not getting saw stop.

    America is certainly preferable to the alternative super powers.

    Fairness isn't necessary to minimize global instability and promote a global economy. In fact, fairness is often antithetical.

    If the US relaxed, lowered military spending, and stayed out of foreign affairs you'd see a dramatically worse world almost instantly.

    Depends on how much "a lot" is. If we're talking like 10 mil I'd probably refit my home and get a nearby industrial garage as others have said. I'm fairly handy, I just lack the tools and space to go nuts with proper fabrication.

    If we're talking 100 mil+ I'd probably give up doing any kind of manual labor, cooking, cleaning etc and focus on building a social work foundation I've been thinking about for years now.

    Everything I've compared over the last year has been more expensive than Amazon for the same product. Really don't see a way off it yet.

    I think that depends on the solution. There's no reason for the institutional knowledge to be lost if the pipeline is developed well enough, and people stay on as advisors and staff members.

    I understand why Star Citizen has burned so much money. They set out to make something very ambitious and haven't given up on that.

    Starfield though? It's not that content rich and it's certainly weak in its features.

    I don't see how 250MM is possible without significant mismanagement.

    Desktop side by sides and Android just by subjective feel one after the other. Firefox vs Brave (not Chrome)

    I made sure to test commonly used websites with clean wipes so there wasn't any cache.

    My desktop is strong with plenty of RAM. Two friends of mine have the same results. Other friends say otherwise. Not sure how that could be.

    I even recorded them on desktop for objective timing.

    People like Bernie would need to choose their successors, mentor them, and then remain as advisors.

    Part of the problem here is the penalty for changing the name on the ballot. If that were required at a certain age, then the party would have to develop a pipeline.
