Hit the turbo button and go from a measly 30Mhz speed to the insane levels of 33Mhz.

For the younger Gen and the non computer savvy: Yeah. We went from 1 cpu core that would go like 30Mhz in the early 90s, to having 12 cpu cores running at around 5,000Mhz now. All while getting way, way, easier to build a PC from parts.

Lots of people. Way too many. Same with the BS TV doctors like dr Oz and dr Phill. Lotta dumb and gullible people out there.

I happened to enjoy most of the assigned books. I'd have the same issue in class with the amount of time given on each book, but I'd use it to my advantage. I'd usually just read each book twice on my own, chill out and more or less slack off while in class, and still answer any questions or do the work better than anyone else because I knew the subject matter better than any other students. I'd ready something like the oddesey a couple times over a weekend and then have a month where I didn't have to use any effort at all in that class.

I give my grandma props to my reading. I went over to Grandma and Grandpa's a lot and from the age of like 1 she would read me childrens picture books. Many times I'd ask for the same one again and again and shed lovingly read it to me. I could follow along looking at the words (she'd point with her finger at each word as she read) long before I learned sounds each letter would make. I could just recognize a word by what the word looked like in the book. I could read at a 5th grade level in first grade, and by 5th grade I tested out to its max of 12+.

Thanks, Grandma. Miss you.

We don't get gassed on trains.

Or, I can just not use a program like chocolatey and just go one and done on ninite. Heaven forbid they only have apps on there to choose from that are popular and people want to install. I've never had issues with any of the programs being behind on version, but it isn't like each program can't check for newer versions of itself

The real mvp comes from one of the best website hosts in the world. If you have to be on windows and especially if you're setting up a fresh install; use www.ninite.com.

It bypasses all the prompts and warnings and opt in\out prompts of a ton of common programs you'd want to install on your PC into one single and quick install. You check mark each of the programs you want from the list (web browsers, anti virus, video players, etc) and it hands you over a single install file to take care of automatically installing them all at once. Best website their is if you're a windows user. I've counted on this gem for well over a decade. I only have one PC left that I keep windows on now, and I'll be swapping that over to Linux as well by November this year when windows 10 stops getting security updates.

Australia is a globally poor country (by total in the country. Individually you're doing well) with a small population surrounded by a lot of water.

If you think things that work in a country like Australia with a mere 27 million people can work the same as a place like the USA with a population of 340 million and land bordered with Mexico and Canada, you're thinking like a child.

As a general rule of thumb, most of the times you find something that grows in nature that causes hallucinations, but it isn't something you've heard that people take to hallucinate, it's because taking enough of it to trip will make you a lot sicker than it's worth or is generally regarded as a terrible "trip" or can fuck with your brain in the long term. For example; nutmeg is also a hallucinogen. Commonly causing palpations of the heart and an impending feeling of doom with delusions of grandeur and possible mental breakdowns. A tablespoon of nutmeg might just ruin your week, so to speak. But it tastes nice as a spice so it's in most houses and grocery stores because pretty much no one ever wants to use it as a fun time drug.

So most of your argument seems to not have much to do with what is being discussed and a lot more to do with pivoting over to our government that's gotten all fucked up. Shouldn't you be off standing in a field somewhere?

You're talking like you'll be able to live in a country that could magically remove all the guns, keep em out, and never possibly need any against a tyrannical government.

This is dependent on if you're giving them a reason to. If you're 15 and are acting drunk or high or suspected of doing shit online or building bombs or stealing, etc expect less privacy.

If there's no reason to think anything like that, expect more privacy. Every kid\teenager thinks they should just have complete privacy. Most parents know that can be a terrible idea. Very few things in life are simply black or white. Most things are somewhere in a shade of grey.

Did you know pepper spray isn't as effective on some people as others? Even more so if the person is on certain drugs? Did you know that if an assailant is pretty close to you already or the wind is blowing at you, the pepper spray may leave you just as bad off as an attacker, or that pepper spray won't make a person drop a knife?

Hitting someone with pepper spray is fairly likely to stop an attack. Hitting someone with bullets will stop an attack.
