    Or do like me and install to a 200gb partition, then carve down the window partition to create a third partition to keep new files, repeat untill you have 5 partitions on your drive. After that, find that you haven’t touched windows in forever and wipe it now that everything is spread between an unethical amount of partitions.

    At least I can give them funny names





  • I guess there’s not much to this argument at this point between us. I hope you’re right, and I would assume some resistance, but do doubt it to be significant. The courts are captured, national dems are weak, and even when talking about the power of state dems I’ve not seen much strong and resilient push back. Lastly, national dems have quite a bit of power in state politics. Don’t doubt the ability of a crab to pull down it’s fellow crab in it’s own attempt to leave the bucket.

    Thanks for the conversation. Though I’m a bit more pessimistic I can see you’re at least a reasonable person


  • Not really if it’s threatened and the dems instantly fold. A dozen or so congress members and few senate members in support of freezing elections, the threat of violence, and a continuation of what see we now. That’s about all that’s needed.

    Still, though it’d argue it unlikely, military intervention cannot be ruled out

    On this being a separate situation it’s not really. It’s just an expansion of your own hypothetical. In a world where red states halt elections they would also pressure blue states to do the same. Blue states would likely fold as they have to many of the more important issues recently.













  • You’re right about our leaders but partially wrong about it being too late. There will be massive destruction and horrible outcomes but damage can still be decreased. With massive effort fewer dead, fewer impovrished, easier to reverse. This is true at each point.

    Horrifyingly though our leaders will do nothing while pretending when it gets bad there was nothing they could have done at this point. That it’s always been futile.

    You may think me saying humanity can still do good work to lower damage is optimism but as a pessimist I understand that nothing will likely be done. Especially when most think it’s already too late to do anything.


  • Wait, I know I’m late to the party, but is that a bullpup sniper rifle?

    Why.

    I can’t see how a sniper rifle benefits from any of the positives of a bull-pup save for maybe the shorter profile being easier to store. Something a folding stalk would do just as well.

    Why?

    Not at all familiar with the gun. Please tell me it’s a regular rifle intented for a designated marksmen and not a real sniper rifle. I see the optic which pushes me in that direction
