Record the farts. Sample the audio. Create music.

We shouldn't have to. Products should be made sensibly and of quality. They'll skimp and save fractions of a penny on every single facet of a product's design, so what possesses them to waste all this money on blinding lights that nobody asked for?

Parents, all you have to do is talk near them about how cool X is to you, while suppressing your gag reflex long enough for them to cringe.

My Surface Pro 4 was getting long in the tooth. My best friend, who uses Arch btw, kept nagging me about switching until he gave me his old laptop when he upgraded. Soon after that, my cat knocked over a beer into it and killed it. So I bought a Framework 13" and put PopOS on it, and also got a Steam Deck. I'm all in on Linux now, except for an old desktop that gets rarely used.

And now I keep my beer on the floor.

There are rumors that Xi has been overthrown and is now only a figurehead.

The workers run things. The crazy idea is thinking that society can't run without trust fund brats who contribute nothing while siphoning away 90% of the resources.

Millions of people can't run things? It seems pretty clear by now that small groups of people especially can't be trusted to run things. You've got to hear about this thing they call democracy. It's the tits. It can balance precariously, but it's the most free way to live.

The idea isn't to have too many cooks. If management is required, workers elect them from among their ranks. They serve for a term or two, then get replaced and go back to being workers. The workers can impeach them by vote. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to fire your lousy boss? Doesn't that make a lot of sense? The point is that nobody should ever be allowed on top for too long. Management should not be a position considered on top of others. The workers must have the final say in how a company and a government are run.

The only reason a few people are allowed to become fabulously wealthy and powerful is because we never established democracy in the workplace. The workers owning the means of production is the most basic principle of communism. Communism cannot exist as a dictatorship, it's antithetical to it. Communism is radical democracy at all levels.

For anything Trump says; what did you expect? Something better?

Well, we should.

And here she is.

I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?

Russia got a bunch of 1895 Winchester rifles for WW1. They're the only army ever to field lever action rifles to standard infantry.

Not quite, but far cheaper than you'd expect.

It's why he's the only president that the job didn't age. He took on zero responsibility.

The joke didn't work regardless.
