It was never every day in Lent, just Fridays and Ash Wednesday. And it was abstinence from meat, not that you had to eat fish. And it was not that meat was bad, or pork is evil like the Jews and Muslims.
Speed up the earth, using solar-powered electric rail-guns at the equator to shoot depleted uranium at near-relativistic speeds, increasing the angular momentum to overcome losses.
Thank you. Next, can we get rid of Daylight Savings Time?

Microsoft is to blame. People used to get new computers when theirs had an "old" operating system that was crudded up. Now you can install Windows 10 for free and clean out all your old cruft.
Add to that the people converting to Linux, and you don't need new PCs to surf cat videos. Of course Windows is the main reason people convert to Linux.
Last week Windows 10 infested my router, my 3 Linux PCs (one of them had a dead battery) and my smart TV. Fortunately it wouldn't run on my router or ten year old laptop, so I was able to download fresh virus definitions for ClamAV and remove it all.
Windows 7 was my last Windows, but no way would I go back to XP. I'm fine with Linux Mint, which looks a lot like a cleaned-up XP but is so much safer. And I get updates, but they're polite and informative.
If you're a noob, Zorin, Mint, or Elementary would be good to try. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Worked pretty well in our last nuclear war, against Japan.

Are you saying people already have TV sets and AC power? Interesting.
Well, 99% of them have TV sets, so why buy a computer with a screen?
And, why buy Windows (and antimalware) when Linux runs so much better and safer?
And yet the one choice I want, one with a decent distro of Linux, is extremely hard to find.
How about one choice of Windows on your computer?
Or 200 different distros of Linux?
Did he develop it independently from Islam?
O'Bama will do it as a Royal Proclam.... errrr, Executive Order.
They have to pass it to see what's in it.

"Don't be a paleface!" That was before your time, sonny.
I bet that's how Volkswagen got in trouble.

I have the famous picture of him visually expressing his discontent with NVidia as one of my desktop pictures.

You mean, "You get what you pay for?". No, it does not.
"Linux is free if your time is worth nothing" doesn't apply anymore either, like t did ten years ago (or even 5 for some distros).
New aphorism: "Windows is free if your privacy is worth nothing."
That's on page 193 of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.
I stand corrected...
...when there's an open source car.
Must be why I see large solar farms with racks on the ground, instead of them building roofs to hold them. Maybe they're on to something.
...and I lived north of Canada for 20 years and we celebrated Thanksgiving in November.
OK, it was only 5 miles north of Canada, but still.
