I don't blame Californians for wanting to escape the state's woke
ideology, but I _would_ blame them for wanting to vote in the same kind
of people in Idaho.

He's just an asshole who gets-off on attacking people.

Against decent, reasonable (and smarter) people, all he can do is make
shit up. He makes assertions that are clearly false, and denies
things that are clearly true. That's what he does. Lie and deny.

I don't care if he's lying or not: his way of having a conversation is
unwelcome. Everything has to be a passionate debate and he feels free to
change topics and bring irrelevant things up to "win." It's exhausting
and I'm surprised that anyone puts up with it, especially since _none_
of what he talks about is ever about Linux.

Seems that you have a very selective reading filter, for I've already
mentioned this month that I chose a hardware upgrade on one of my Linux
boxes, and also reported that I installed it. Perhaps if it had taken a
month with constant updates like Feeb does, you would have noticed.

FYI, I'd also mentioned that I had not started to re-benchmark it to see
if the upgrade is having its desired outcome, but I did start one of
those tests yesterday.

https://survivalblog.com/

Rawles' 'Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse' has been
around in one form or the other for about 25 years. It had a burst of
popularity around 2005. Much of it is set in Idaho and Rawles has
advocated the area.

The novel wasn't bad although it has an underlying Christian theme. If I
were back in Virginia, I think it was, and had everybody and their brother
looking for me I wouldn't have sought out a church to attend a services
before getting the hell out of the area.

He's cagey about where he actually lives but the implication is northern
Idaho. I haven't read the blog in years but I don't think he ever had a
real estate scheme like Bo Gritz' Almost Heaven near Kamiah.

I assume it's available streaming. I watched it on NetFlix DVDs. I've
found some of the shows available on DVDs from NetFlix aren't on NetFlix
or Prime streaming, It's annoying since I liked 'Midsomer Murders' but not
enough to subscribe to BritBox. The Yellowstone spinoffs were the same. I
think I saw a few episodes of 1923 on DVD but would have to get Paramount+
to see the rest.

Because the lawsuit that CA won on that was resolved in a different
fashion: the need was met without trampling the environment as Trump
wanted to do.

Plus that topic had no role anyway, because of physics: one can only
push/suck a finite amount of water through a pipe of a given size.

So once demand exceeds this physics limit, water pressure drops to ~zero
--> even when the reservoir on the hilltop is still full(!) <--
Water is an incompressible; this is textbook Fluid Dymamics 101.

And before trying to claim that cities should have infinitely large
pipes everywhere, doing so isn't free. Which is why no city in the
world has the degree of municipal infrastructure overbuild that would've
been needed. Its the same reason why no one here has a full blow 10GBe
Ethernet network in their home, let alone a 25GBe on: TANSTAAFL.

So far they're not doing that — or at least they're not in the majority.

It looks like the first seven seasons of Blue Bloods is streaming on Pluto
TV. And there's 22 seasons of Midsomer Murders there as well. Pluto TV has
ads but you click past them. It looks like Rokuchannel has 24 seasons of
Midsomer Murders and, with uBlock Origin, there are no ads when watching
Rokuchannel in Firefox.

These people are like hyenas though, so I wouldn't be surprised that
"progressive" "liberal" "social democrats" will move to Idaho
specifically to try to turn the tide over to the Democrats, similarly to
how 12,000 Antifa assholes travelled to wherever there was an AfD
meeting in Germany to stop people from supporting the party.

By the way, I finally got rid of Fedora and migrated over to Pop!_OS. I
like Fedora, but they have way too much trouble with the NVIDIA driver
for it to be viable. I considered Nobara, but I have to admit that I can
at least be assured that I won't have trouble with the proprietary
driver in System76's operating system.

It's going to be hard for them to overcome the Morman base in Idaho. The
Mormans pretty much vote in a block and they vote Republican.

Good luck. I gave Pop!_OS a trial run once. For some reason (I can't
remember exactly why) I didn't like it. But what I want in a computer is not
the same as what you want in one. I've heard good things from some people
about Pop!_OS, but I hate the stupid way they spell the name with an
exclamation point and an underscore. Why not just PopOS?

I'm sure that they will find a way to convince them that Republicans,
particularly Christian ones, are a menace to Mormonism. They've already
convinced negroes and faggots are conservatism is a threat to them even
though we tend to leave them alone in general. Heck, we usually befriend
them when they emerge as unicorns and prove to be useful to society.

It didn't last long. It supports NVIDIA very well but I can't stand
GNOME anymore (I've fallen in love with KDE), and I discovered that for
no reason whatsoever, Pop!_OS freezes when I open an application if the
operating system has been on for more than ten minutes or so. Like every
other Ubuntu-based distribution I've tried, it also eventually freezes
requiring me to restore functionality through a CTRL-ALT-F3. I don't
know why Ubuntu-based is so bad, but I've lost the patience to figure it
out. Fedora's base is already better, and I'm shocked at how stellar
Arch's (through Manjaro) base is.
