GOP: we've investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.

Nothing if not predictable.

I've read several books in the Objectivists library, including Atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and the virtue of selfishness.

For a certain kind of person, I do think they have value in showing a different ethical/moral framework. To wit, if you have been raised on the principal that you must always sacrifice your own happiness for others, then Onjectivist philosophy is quite novel and can actually be helpful in moving towards a more self-actualized thought mode.

For most others, however, it can turn you into a raging a-hole.

In terms of how tenable the overall principles are in practice, just remember that Rand herself went on social security.

Windows is like the corner prostitute: pay some money, usually get what you want although not the best, occasionally get some horrible disease

Linux is like the sweet SO: has its quirks but you love them for it. let's you grow in your skills but that can be challenging at times. Surprises you in good and bad ways.

Edit: for grammar

You haven't installed Linux until you've done it in the original Klingon.

Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).

Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.

OMG I feel old.

Also regret the money I spent buying Sun stock in the late 90s.

"But if there was a third option with any chances of winning, things would look different anyway."

Aye, there's the rub.

I bought my Tesla 4 years ago before EM went full douche mode. I actually quite like the car but would not buy one these days on account of him.

Same junk, different year. Remember Carter vs. Reagan and the delay of release of the Iranian hostages to discredit Carter? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

In keeping with the n+1 rule, clearly the only way to handle this is with an entirely new bike. Lol.

There is an old Behind the Bastards pod on Manafort that's a good listen. Not to ruin the story but ..he is a Bastard.

I feel this.

Although my last bootloader is adventure was pretty easy...installed a completely separate drive for Linux and wanted to boot off of that drive (sdb). A bug in the Linux mint installer put the bootloader on my the windows drive instead (sda).

Was fairly straightforward to switch over though (change in fstab then installing grub). I use the bios boot selector (F11) for me to select either the win loader or my Linux mint efi.

Am switching over to Linux as primary driver. So tired of nags, ads, "switch to Edge", long updates, etc. love being able to ssh+x onto that (relatively beefy) box from my laptop and run ides and such.

Creation of embryos should happen entirely outside the body of the female, followed by decapitation of the male as God intended.
