This isn’t the default behavior of Win10 Pro without a DC. I don’t know enough about graceful shutdowns to have a perspective. Maybe Home has a different user presentation than Pro?

Unrelated: I’m trying to get from two Virtualbox Mint VMs to one paravirtualized (docker?) image, then to move to physical hardware. When I’m ready, where in the fediverse should I ask for assistance?

SirDerpy ,

Fast forward to August. The IRS wants to know why you didn’t pay taxes.

It’s just another bullet point in a half century long problem.

The FTC is an independent Federal anti-trust enforcement agency. After SCOTUS 1977 Continental TV v. GTE made the nuance of certain contact terms subjectively legal, allowing mergers likely in the interests of global competition, the FTC has been effectively neutered. The only significant action has been the breakup of the Bells in 1982 and some Microsoft anti-Netscape gibberish around 1999.

The FTC has effectively lost every significant case it’s brought since about 1970. Consumers haven’t had any significant protections since 1982, more than forty years ago.

It seems to me groups have people have been choosing a king to do their reasoning for them since the beginning of humanity. And, the application of computers to communications and profits has significantly raised the bar of adequacy for wise decisions while (US) educational efforts have been in decline for nearly a half century.

How do we encourage the critical mass of free thinkers to break the current paradigm, let alone the ancient one?

Sincerely, does anyone see some sort of plan here? I often feel like I’m shouting into the void for little more than dying with self-respect. Can we reason our way to revolt, already?

Seems to me every single time Americans significantly changed their laws, they had to break laws, often pick up firearms, then boycott, illegally enforce their strike’s picket lines, riot and revolt. Perhaps you shouldn’t be speaking of the combined weight of ignorance of society. Maybe your time would be better spent reading a history book rather than attempting to teach nonsense like voting will change their material conditions.

I scoped correctly. And, you’re Australian, meaning your government follows where ours leads. It leads where it wants regardless of what you or I vote for. Bad faith fuck.

SirDerpy ,

Jesus, talk about failing to answer a simple question. If you don’t know fuck all about how to implement our shared goal, perhaps you should humble the fuck down and learn to ask good questions.

He wasn’t laughing with Jews about the overbearing kindness of their mothers. If you say the quiet part out loud then you’re of little use in sustaining and increasing profits. It’s easier to burn witches than to acknowledge the quiet part said out loud.

This isn’t rocket science. It’s apathy, an incarnation of MLK’s white moderate.

Canyon Village isn’t wilderness. Yellowstone isn’t wilderness. No one makes stupid threats in the wilderness.

SirDerpy ,

My friend, it’s so stupid it’s looped back around into extremely wise. If you perceive a wildlife threat then the two most effective tactics are:

  1. Put a rock or tree between you and the threat, then keep it between you.
  2. Angrily yell at it while waving your arms to appear large (an air horn or a warning shot is a very effective punctuation)

I’ve angrily told off dozens of bears.

THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK! SHOP SMART. SHOP S-MART! YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT. HIS PAWS ARE SWEATY. DARMOK AND JALAD ON THE OCEAN!

In the US a “wilderness” is a large area completely devoid of documented human infrastructure.

Yellowstone’s publicly accessible areas have very well-developed infrastructure. The vast majority of the park is meant to be explored by vehicle on paved roads and by walking paved trails. But, even the dirt trails are so “well maintained” that they’re like a wide dirt sidewalk with an occasional root or rock. There’s non-public areas inside Yellowstone that are almost devoid of infrastructure and maintenance, almost wilderness.
