Good luck convincing the public to support nuclear energy. For some reason they would much rather rely on ancient designs instead of replacing them with vastly superior and safer modern designs.
There are a number of distributions that are pretty user friendly now. I toyed with linux ages ago but went back to windows because most of the software I use is windows specific.
My girlfriend got sick of the WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE NOW! shit on her laptop and asked me to install linux, after explaining there were a billion different distros and some other technical explanations, she picked out Mint.
I was really surprised at how much easier it was compared to last time I messed around with it. There were no missing drivers, everything worked perfectly right after installing, lots of helpful explanations and popup windows for "normal" users. It was apple-tier hand holding in some areas. She loves it.
If I ever die in a terrorist attack and they use my death as more leverage to remove encryption and install back doors, please insert the brain of my deceased corpse into a robot so I can ROFLstomp them.
I would prefer something with opposable thumbs, but a quadcopter with sharpened blades would work fine too.
Alternatively, tell them to shut the fuck up and stop using my body to push their political agenda. Otherwise I will haunt them.
Nothing but upside down USB plugs and BSoD's will come to them if they continue. It would be an abstract kind of hell.
He has made numerous denigrating remarks over entire groups of people. That is racism, exclusion and neo-nazi hatred -
A group of people is not a race. He has made denigrating remarks about illegal aliens (Trespassers who are breaking the law), and violent people who practice Islam. Islam/Muslim is not a race. Illegal aliens from Mexico are not a race, as Mexican isn't a race.
He proposed a ban on Muslim immigration. Religious tests for imigration was one of the very first policies the NAZIs promoted as well. Right there is your first one.
He proposed a/temporary/ ban on Muslim immigration.
So Obama is a Nazi then? After all, he banned Muslim immigration in 2011 for six months.
Hitler never did that either. Not once. He called for EMIGRATION. The final solution was kept secret from pretty much the entire civilian population even while it was happening. What he actually said was "prevent imigration", "forced emigration" and other "acceptable" ways to achieve cultural and racial purity. Just like Trump.
He isn't proposing kicking out current citizens, he is proposing kicking out people who are not citizens and are breaking the law by trespassing here illegally, like many other countries do. This isn't unique to trump at all.
Tell me, how many vague similarities does it require before you are considered literally Hitler? We both breath air. I'm sure I've worn the same color clothing once before. I am also against animal cruelty and am anti-smoking, just like Hitler.
Aawww you are so naive. Besides which - he is trying to be a politician. His job is NOT enforcement of the law, it's to propose BETTER laws.
Actually, that is wrong. He is trying to be president.
The president has the authority to send troops into combat, and is the only one who can decide whether to use nuclear weapons.
He also enforces laws, treaties, and court rulings; develops federal policies; prepares the national budget; and appoints federal officials. He also approves or vetoes acts of Congress and grants pardons.
His job is not to "propose better laws".
Excuse me ? Where have the opposition been violent ? If anything there's been way too much appeasement. Hell even protesters at his rallys have by and large been victims of violence, not perpetrators.
Well, off the top of my head there were the protests in Arizona that blocked a highway, where protesters kicked and jumped on a car trying to get by them:
And, as long as we are considering speech violent, scary, triggering actions, there are the several protestors who dressed up as the KKK, hoods and all:
Though I guess I can't really count that one, as a black trump supporter attacked them. But since they were parading around as symbols of hate, it was okay, right? Just like the students getting triggered by chalk, right?
Actually - the entire basis on which that claim is made has shown that you KNOW nothing about Hitler. You don't see that they are identical - simply because you are looking for the post-war Hitler caricature that you heard about in school - and know nothing of the actual man, how he actually got elected, what his speeches actually SAID and how he went about achieving his nefarious ends.
If they are identical, wake me up when Trump loses
Advocating for a valid political candidate is not a death threat and/or hate speech, no matter how many jimmies are rustled.
Perhaps the people that think that should listen to what he has actually said, rather than what other people claim he has said.
Personally I hate all of them, but the constant smear ads of "TRUMP HATES ALL WOMAN!" "HE WANTS TO DEPORT ALL MEXICANS!" is getting a little old and a little too dishonest. It is pretty good entertainment though.
This is exactly why I will never buy a car with a touch screen. Or flat buttons on the dashboard.
As it is, my 80s turbo shitbox has better design. Every button can be reached comfortably, every switch and button can be used by feel alone so I never have to take my eyes off the road.
Meanwhile, in the [CURRENT YEAR], we have touch screens and dashboards with a million flat square buttons that all feel the same.
Agreed. I had fun with mine, it is useful for prototyping and making custom parts easily is really nice, but now I'm regretting not buying a decent MIG welder.
Agreed. All of the candidates this election are complete shit, but if you are going to abandon ship just because things didn't go your way this election, then feel free.
Reminds me of children stomping their feet when they don't get what they want.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
If people stoop to name calling, as we see in the current GOP US Presidential campaign, the conversation is lost and we end up with a middle school playground level of forum for settling our differences, replete with bullying, taunting, racism and similar exhibits of ostracism, and so forth.
You see name calling in both parties. One side screams the other is voting for a communist, the other side screams that the opposing candidate is "LITERALLY HITLER!", both sides scream "ONLY STUPID PEOPLE VOTE FOR MR. X!".

It's okay though, cold fusion soon, right? r-right?

She is the QUEEN of hypocritical, scaremongering cunts. Naturally it would be her trying to limit this NEW TERRORIST CRIMINAL ENABLING technology.
PEOPLE MIGHT GET IDEAS GUYS.
Terrorism! 9/11! Public safety!

How is his entire platform racism, exclusion and "NEO-NAZI HATRED"?
Where has he specifically stated that one race is superior to the other?
Where has he proposed Nazi ideals?
Citations, please. Actual evidence.
Calls for extermination? Really? Where? Again, [citation needed].
All he has called for is enforcement of the law and to ensure that we are not allowing people that intend to harm us in this country.
Buzzwords and screaming "HITLER" is why is he popular, it shows how crazy the people that violently oppose him are.
He is nothing like Hitler and it is hilarious that people would compare the two of them.
What corporation isn't a whore?
Am I reading this right? They have two hearts now, hooked to the same system?
I would think there would be the potential for one to interfere with the other, pretty neat.
Redundant organs soon?

Exactly. It's impossible to win, the game is rigged from the start.
All I want is a car with a Nazi personality to bicker with on my drive to work.
Is that too much to ask?
Nice of the summary to skip over that and go straight to SEXISM

See this shit? This drives me up the fucking wall.
The part that always gets to me is that they seem to be upset that instead of playing the stock market he employs 22,450 people.
I thought it was a good thing when people created jobs?

Just in case people thought the last bit was purely exaggeration.

It is pretty likely that he was a subject of MKUltra.
That was some interesting information.
What a shitshow this is turning out to be.
What do you mean by political nuts?
You said it wasn't a thing, he provided evidence proving it was.
Crying about 'muh right wing echo chamber' doesn't disprove that obamaphones are a thing, which is what his post was about.
