I try to respond to every genuine engagement. I block trolls, contrarians, and provocateurs because life is too short.
The simple fact is that we hairless apes were never meant to have the sum of all human knowledge and endless distractions available to us at all times.
We’re inquisitive creatures and it’s hard AF to put that phone down when dopamine loop at 1am.
All you said was “citation for that timeline”, like I’m on trial or something.
I responded with the best source I could find and a summary of the timeline as the three news reports I’d read stated it with a quick search.
You respond back that I’m “avoiding answering your questions” which I am surely not, while demonstrating that you already had timeline source info from the get-go. I’m fine with being corrected, but you’re just arguing in bad faith.
Fwiw, there are still multiple major news outlets reporting that she left after his heart attack, whom have not issued corrections… So fuck me for not being more informed than USA Today’s newsroom I guess?

Mitch has a heart attack requiring CPR and a hospital trip on the 14th, time of hospitalization not publicized, and as made clear by many news organisations - his team ignored almost all requests for comment and detail by news orgs.
His wife is photographed in China sitting with the vice-president of China 3 days later on the 17th.
Her team have ignored all requests for more detail by news orgs (at least, I couldn’t find any that got a response).
That and black market human organs. Pure speculation, but it would explain why his wife flew to China just hours after his entry to hospital.
When Windows provisions a device against a Microsoft Account, a system service called wlidsvc talks to
login.live.comand gets back what Microsoft calls a Device PUID, a Passport Unique ID, inside the server’s SOAP response. Server assigned. Windows never computes it locally from anything on your PC. It receives a string and stores it.
It likely uses the motherboard’s burned-in TPM module API to generate the unique hardware ID on, and associate with the account/license.
Bruv… it literally says exactly on the statement you quoted that the ID is generated by Microsoft, and explicitly that its not generated on the device. Why would you then go on to speculate that its generated on device by the TPM…?
AFAIK the TPM doesn’t generate anything, its role is for storing cryptographic information - not creating it.
OC is the lifeblood of the internet and I want to thank you for spilling yours all over us.
Still reduces the cost drastically to society, the whole exploitative college middle-man charging $150k for a degree is gone because the government says “fuck you, degrees are $40k or you don’t get govt places for your course”, and lo and behold… Suddenly the same courses are $40k.
Just like how the US healthcare advocates cry that “free healthcare is socialism that overburdens the taxpayer” - and yet in countries with socialised healthcare they pay 1/4 of what the US pays for the same health outcomes and usually even less for literally the exact same medicine from the same companies.
Collective bargaining.
She, as a politicians partner with zero public political power immediately travels to China to visit the upper echelons of their political system while her husband’s recovering from some near-fatal attack just hours earlier.
Its probably a job for her, not a choice.
New electric car rival offers 2000KWh engine and tight styling. Comes with no batteries or wheels.
Would an article ever run like this? This is a combo deal on a motherboard & gfx card. Not sure how it became a ‘Steam Machine rival’.
Good point. It bummed me out to learn that the majority of canned goods are also lined with plastic… And glass jar lids also have plastic or silicone. Likewise that older / lower quality cans/lids have been manufactured with BPA, so it’s hard to avoid plastics in packaging no matter your choice.
I think this brings it in line with most of the developed world. Although in Australia we don’t have ‘best if used by’ just ‘best before’ / ‘expiry date’ mandated by law for most products. I think some dried and canned foods that have a shelf life greater than 3 years are exempt and usually have a processing date / date packaged instead.
We have fries in Australian Costco’s as well.
Yeah but in the editor’s defence it’s a really cool photo.
Haha… OK pal. Have a great one.
I read your questions three times but I still can’t tell what you’re asking.
Meanwhile… India’s coal use has increased dramatically in the last decade, and is continuing to increase significantly - they are expecting to double again by 2050.
Re-reading my comment it was way more aggressive than it meant to be. I think I laid on the sarcasm too thick after reading the latest Trump bullshitery. Anyway, appreciate your comment.
We culturally usually bring our glasses to parties if we are drinking something that needs a glass (eg Guiness, Kilkenny) if the gathering is over a dozen people. Keg parties require hiring the keg - and glassware (or washable plastic schooners) are included in the hire price. Kegs aren’t any cheaper than buying by carton/case here unless you’re doing bulk kegs for a wedding or something (Australia - we have a significant alcohol tax).
Yes of course, my hundreds of personal parties attended are invalid evidence compares to your personal experience of several commercial venues (which is not even what was being discussed).
I don’t care about downvotes. Parties full of red plastic cups is a very American phenomenon - and also in countries that have low environmental concerns and use a lot of single-use plastics. All through Europe, Australia, NZ, Japan, its far more common to use glassware or bring your own cups. I’ve only been to a few keg parties because it’s no cheaper than buying cans/bottles unless you’re running a really big event like a wedding - and even then, proper glassware or washable plastic schooners are included in the hire contract (kegs are hired and must be returned).
Yeah generally. Or everyone is drinking from cans / beer bottles. Keg parties are not a common thing for your average BBQ or your average student party.
Yeah… that tracks.
