  • Dude… you’re the one that said PCIE isn’t plug and play, which is incorrect. Plug and play simply means not having to manually assign IRQ/DMA/etc before using the peripheral, instead being handled automatically by the system/OS, as well as having peripherals identify themselves allowing the OS to automatically assign drivers. PCIE is fully plug-and-play compatible via ACPI, and hot swapping is supported by the protocol, if the peripheral also supports it.




  • I can’t tell if you’re over-thinking, under-thinking, or just plain havent invested time into grocery planning.

    1. an 8kg bag of basmati or jasmine rice can be found for $15 (freshco), if you have one cup (dry, 200g) of rice that will last you 40 meals. It’s about 200 calories per serving and has vitamin B as well as a handful of minerals.

    2. Chicken can be found for $3/lb (food basics) or less if you are patient and shop around and is ~120g protein per lb of meat

    3. Add in some beans $2.97 at walmart for a 900g bag of dry kidney beans, each serving gets you fiber and protein, also 25 servings.

    $110 per month and you have staples and 60+g of protein per day. That leaves $35 per week to shop sales/flash food/etc for fruit, veg, and other meat.





  • At this point, it’s even more difficult than that. You can have an amazingly popular candidate that is a shoe-in for the POTUS vote… and they will be absolutely ineffective without the massive political machine that is the DNC/RNC backing them up. It’s not just the house and senate seats, it’s state government, municipal government, etc that also need representation by your new party. Tens of thousands of people need to be elected in positions in all levels before a new party gains enough political clout to even think about operating collectively at the national level.

    Not to mention the fact that the judicial branch will still be packed with lifers with loyalties to the two incumbent parties.




  • A EULA is a contract and is by default “negotiable”. The buyer has the option to attempt to engage with the seller and negotiate an agreement. However, the seller has equal right to decline said negotiation with the understanding that the product will not be sold to the buyer.

    What would be far more productive is stricter regulation on what products can have a EULA attached, and what that agreement can contain (thus having the government pre-negotiate the contract on behalf of all the buyers collectively). These laws could also require a company engage a third party consumer advocacy group to negotiate the terms on behalf of the buyers as a collective, so as to keep that portion at an arm’s length from the government.

    This would still not preclude an individual from trying to negotiate, but a seller still has the right to say “I don’t want to sell this to you.”
