Damn, bro came with receipts! But think about it, OP… if you expel even a tiny bt of something, you will have lost it.

Oh hell naw. Some fool is gonna dump it all in a duffel bag and ship it off to his plug to send to some country where they just jailbreak them.

edit: lmao, even

Uh. I suspect those vans probably use an actual logistics system, unless Borat runs your countries restaurant distribution system. Most restaurants here in the US buy their food from Sysco or that other company, there are many smaller distributors also. Those are using a logistics system of some sort.

Insurance here in the US really likes trucks to go the speed limit. Every medium size business I can think of uses some sort of GPS logistics system to monitor drivers. It’s only shitheads like Amazon and FedEX that have cameras on the drivers (I think the UPS union shot that down) but I know for a fact that all three of those companies have GPS tracking on their trucks.

OK fine. I was giving advice based on my personal situation.

On another note, how does the bread get from the bakery to the restaurant where you are if not for trucks?

I guess? I skimmed the TOS and when I agreed to it they stated they were German.

Need traffic data.

Why not? They are on the highways which is what gets fucked.

No.

I use herewego when I need traffic data. afaict, it’s from the company tomtom and uses the data they are gathering from thier truck logistics business. Based in Germany.

I was in the Denver Art Museum riding the elevator down and shared the car with a guy who looked like he made $200k a year and his bitchy wife. She gave me the stinkeye while glaring at me while I chatted with her husband. I just squared up and gave her mid handbag and shoes a quick once over before shaking my head.

Shit, my boots cost more than her handbag and my watch probably costs as much as her shoes. Who cares if I’m in hiking boots and some old Polo long sleeve.

Bitch, art is for everyone. I know I’m working class but at least I buy shit that will last and is actually useful.

So I definitely recommend you do stuff like that.

Oh, he was definitely wearing a Rolex, but her handbag wasn’t even CC

Sorry, I’m showing my age with that reference.

throw a different live distro on and see if the problem persists. if so, put in some windows install media and see if it works during the install process. if neither do, it’s probably hardware.

Shock treatment. Barely heat it, not so it’s hot to the touch, but warm and pliable. Then flatten the fuck out of it with something cold. I have aluminum plates for this but you could use some steel that fits in the freezer, or steel with a bag of ice on it. The idea is that we get it pliable, put it how we want it, and then cool it off rapidly to make it stay like that.

Alternate: tell the boss to get a decent walk off mat

Isn’t that what they did if you didn’t want their soft power?

That is true, and bought us significant soft power

But for me, knowing that the USA did the Iran and CIA stuff while the USSR did Afghanistan and KGB stuff is enough for me to decide both were elitist assholes that didn’t care for normal humans but just wanted to increase their own power.

That’s actually a pretty solid take from what I know about it. Both powers were being total assholes and wanted control over as much of the world as they could get. USA had strong weapons power but USSR had strong soft power, bringing social programs to people who desperately needed them. Roads and bridges and such.

while Russia was the aggressor in Cuba and arguably in Afghanistan

Fucking pardon me? Russia literally tried to take over Afghanistan after the US gave them weapons to protect them from Russia.

“We are not afraid of the Russians, but we are afraid of their helicopters.”

edit: I’d say that the USSR wasn’t really the aggressor in Cuba, that was Fidel and his cohort. Castro literally reached out to the Soviets because he needed help after his revolution.

No flying though. I’m looking for airplanes in space and sometimes SC can scratch that itch but E:D is the better product.

Like you literally cannot “fly” your damn spaceship, you have to use a point and click interface (at least the last time I checked). I wish SC was a good product and I’ll be sad the day E:D goes offline but EVE is definitely not it for me.

I disagree. look at the failed states right now. USD and precious metals are the most valued means of trade.

Yeah, I know. I have what many would consider an absurd amount of rice and beans and salt so it makes sense to store something that won’t go bad. Gold never spoils. Never.

Ever since we found gold we have valued it. I don’t understand the position of, “Oh, no one will value it!” We love the shit and it’s a store of value. How much value is dependent.
