at one point I had a 17" (no name) and a 21" view sonic on the same desk bench, connected to a dual ppro 200mhz (tyan mobo) machine I built running windows 2000, the first os I used that supported multiple monitors. our engineer custom designed the benches out of steel square tubing and laminate wood, they were great.

I think it becomes shame because we recognize we've benefited from the system that has shit all over so many. Even indirectly, it's hard to think about all the ways I've benefited from - just to say one thing - all the cheap open land (places like texas, nebraska, oklahoma, OR & WA) we got after putting the natives in concentration camps and murdering most of them.

Like, I try to enjoy a national park but then realize: this was someone's home. Many peoples, in fact. We took it, put up gates, and charge people to harass the animals. And that's the places we've saved from industrial pollution and factory farming.

in my own case, it's that I've (not intentionally but still) benefited from a system that subjugated others (natives, people of all colors, and women) to secure the national infrastructure I've directly profited from. Everything from education, clean water and housing, to medical care often shockingly focused on what ails and heals white males. And the sickening knowledge that the same ones who want to deport taxpaying workers who rarely benefit from the enormous amounts of money our country throws around are the same as me, living on land stolen from the people who lived here, who we basically exterminated. Finally, we use the trappings of a pseudo-democracy to declare all men are equal, but really, they mean wealthy heteronormative white men, because otherwise you're the other and disenfranchisement should be expected.

That's-just-the-way-it-is? only if you accept it.

The Memory Cartel: we can give you that feeling of childhood wonder, or, erase those embarrassing things keeping you awake at night. Or... we can make your enemies remember things that will haunt them forever... for a price.

OR:

The Ram Cartel: leather, bears, tops, chains and spikes, their safe word is 'disestablishmentarianism'

I get that the logistics of setting up what’s basically a secondary supply chain is difficult, but I’ve got to believe it would be for the better.

hear me out: an org that guaranteed destruction of any residual data and ensured that no component or resource was wasted, was responsible nationwide for the collection of all e-waste into resource streams OR repair for reuse.

I'm just saying, techpriests might make me reevaluate my views on organized religion.

valid, and, run the country into the ditch hard enough and you don't even need to keep investing in propaganda...

iirc Silicon Graphics crts were actually trinitrons after 92-3. of course a 21" crt weighed fuck all lol

viewsonic made some damn fine CRTs...

Dodge like the car company? gnarly, going for that complete vertical integration achievement

i imagine filling any decent sized pipes (! plural because heat exchange has to loop) to 1au would use most of the water on earth.

we can't expect women to stand by their man when their man is literally making the handmaidens tale a reality.

those misogynists' may expect it, but it's unrealistic and those women deserve support escaping their shitbags
