you don’t even own all the bits you do buy. you pay extra to unlock them. preinstalled, extra-cost dlc.

iirc, it was a state law that dictated whether or not there could be a jury in this (type of) proceeding.

that’s the equivalent of a couple sacks of groceries or a tank of gas for many of us.

how was that even possible, connection should have mysteriously dropped after the first 50 megabytes or so.

is the spawn of an immigrant.

meanwhile, the white man been “poisoning” the land for centuries.

businesses in texas have a gross receipts-based franchise tax instead of a traditional corporate income tax based on net income or profit.

they also, of course, do pay property and sales taxes, just like individual people do.

there ain’t room for logic in their heads, not with all the lead and shit up there already.

higher than average property and sales taxes instead.

it’s quite possible there are loans against that and other properties he may have, and lenders get paid first.

a long-overdue and very welcome addition to mobile.

so, what? 4-5 minutes instead of 2? yea, that’ll keep people watching…

OR… the moron majority of this scotus has already decided to rule in favor of dinglebutt.

yup. wikipedia’s salaries aren’t ‘too low’–the others (mostly-publicly traded or dreaming-of-an-ipo) pay their top executives way too fucking much.

it was over the 4th… ya know… of july… to celebrate our ‘independence’

“Taiwan belonged to them anyway. Let China (PRC) have it.”

and lemme guess… amazon doesn’t want to ‘partner’ with any local entities, like a joint venture with sufficient local ownership to get better rates–they want to own and control everything.

i don’t sign-in to my systems with a microsoft account. hell, i don’t even have one. nowadays, i dunno if i could even get one–and maintain it, as i do not have, nor want, an sms-capable or ‘smart’ phone. they don’t do ‘verification’ bullshit by voice anymore, just sms.

we still run win10 at the office on dual core wolfdale systems. they mostly now have 8gb ram and sata ssd. they run great. wolfdale launched in 2008, seven years before win10 was released.

i also have win11 set up on ivy bridge and haswell, that are also running very well. used daily for everything from basic office tasks, email with local multi-gigabyte mail stores, to video capture and editing. these are even older in relation to win11 than wolfdale is to win10.

the main issue is microsoft has unilaterally and arbitrarily decided that all these systems, all the way up to kaby lake (which was only discontinued by intel in 2020), which are usable by many, if not most, users for the tasks they perform are now ‘obsolete’… all in the name of profits for them and their oem partners.

until we get the musk vs zuck cage match, there’s little by way of spectator entertainment from CEOs though.
