I agree with your position. It’s how Americans should be thinking.

The problem is a not insignificant portion of blue voting and undecided men, did not pitch up like they did for Biden and Obama.

A good campaign might have helped make those people more comfortable and addressed the issues that matter to those men.

Its time for the Dems to get out of their ivory towers and listen to the socialists and leftists in their party that have been warning against the Dems shift to the right. Hopefully American democracy will still be alive by the time they get their chance.

Today we learned that America is more sexist than racist.

They will vote for a black man in droves, but not a woman.

Less and less of half it seems.

No, back in those days these were very much hardware/firmware based. It’s a decade before the SD standard.

It’s also from a period where Windows machines were riddled witb viruses that spread by USB. This prevented your drive from getting infected.

This is probably my favourite metal flashdrive of all time. I had a 1GB of the first generation and then later another usb3 one of 32GB

These days I carry one of these on my keychain.

Surprisingly fast given the size. Will do 300MB/s sequential read. About 90MB/s write

I use medicat/ventoy on it with windows 11 , debian and linux mint ISOs on it.

One of these took me through university in 2002

I really miss the hardware read only switch.

Computer labs did not have front USB back in those days, so we had to choose between floppies or diving under the desks. I was in the diver club.

32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

I would pay a lot of money to see Arnold beat up Elon in a cage match. Despite the age gap, it wont even be close.

Does this guy look like a civilized Elon Musk to anyone else?

My uncle is a medical equipment installer that installs and calibrates MRI machines.

The issue is more than just the physical damage, which can be expensive, these machines take a long time to calibrate to the local environment. If the electromagnets are damaged, the whole set needs to be replaced, as they are manufactured in matching batches.

It’s like if you damage a piston in an engine, it will cause damage to the crank shaft, which will also damage the rest of the engine. It’s a helluva job to fix.
