    Try it on Linux. I collect old hardware from Windows users and put it back to work.

    I had to throw out a scanner, though, because I don't have a parallel port on my newer (6 years) PC.

    A lot of the young kids like Bernie, so he might get in.

    Of course, he hasn't told them about paying taxes for the rest of their careers to pay for his free shit. I'll be taking a dirt nap when the bill comes due.

    It should not be taken literally. the Bible is not a science textbook. Catholics have been saying that for 19 centuries or so. It's the Fundies who have started worshiping the Book that you are complaining about.

  25. Free fertilizer on Help Is On the Way In the War Against Noisy Leaf Blowers · · Score: 1

    I used to fill my full-size cargo van with about 80 bags of leaves on the way to work. A couple of weeks, different routes on different trash days, and I had a nice pile of fertilizer for my garden. Can you imagine, people throw that stuff out??!

    I'd do it still, but I got rid of the van, and got tired of the broken glass, rocks, and dead cats. Every leaf, pine needle, twig, and tree trunk that falls on our yard still goes in the garden.
