I’d just use a lever.

The running is more impressive though, as he wasn’t run over by a vehicle.

The formal statement is out now — in this case it’s because an aide wanted to tweet neo-nazi propaganda in her name and she responded by trying to get them fired… and others in the party responded by firing her instead for not being neo nazi enough.

I’m still missing your point.

I’ve got all my apps I’ve downloaded backed up, at least for macOS. iOS… easier to grab the older ones off a pirate repository once Apple stops listing them.

Are you trying to say that everyone should be running Debian Stable without non-free on commodity x86 or RISC-V hardware with only open source hardware gerbers and no proprietary chips?

Apple is the only provider of Apple IDs.

Other yhan that, I’m not sure what gave you the impression I’m dependent on a single provider?

I’ve been an Apple customer for 35 years. Had an Apple account as long as Apple has had such things. A few years ago (specifically, when Apple started retiring 32-bit apps from the App Store) I saw where Apple was going and created a dedicated account for my Apple ID that’s separate from the one I use for my contact for Apple services.

If Apple locked me out of my account today, I’d lose access to 14 years of app purchases on that account. That’s about it? And at some point I started using an alternative ID for some of my purchases, so I’d only lose access to some of them. And of course, I now keep copies of everything backed up, since they could vanish from Apple’s servers at any time.

Trump first became president in 2017. Omar’s son would have been much younger then; that’s usually the time people think of when they think of her.

And which broken homeland are Miller’s ancestors from?

So BC conservatives AND alt-right BC conservatives found their leaders inappropriate? Did either party explain why?

Learn Ukrainian first maybe, and then learn Russian? It may be easier to learn if you already know Ukrainian, too.

Of course, if you already know Ukrainian, why not learn Russian too?

I got a miniPC 5 years ago that had a 128GB SSD in it that I used like that. When I went to get a second one last year, the same price point came with 1TB. I got it and swapped out the storage and stuck it in an external case.
