  • I’d suggest looking into what news outlets are still willing to ‘break the story’ to the public these days. Perhaps a search for ‘whistle blower story’ might help you find these that are willing to still be proper reporters.

    If you feel you’re life might be endanger in anyway, but reaching out to someone to share your story, consider looking into concealing yourself with any device you decide to use. I’m sure there are resources out there that can help you navigate this. If what you say is true, do what you believe to be the moral thing to do.



    1. I’m tired of hearing the news. Good or bad. I’m not that interested in hearing it these days. The good news doesn’t feel like it’s that important and the bad news is reported far too heavily and with a lack of sustains.
    2. It’s baffling to me that ‘we’ in the U.S. are so wrapped up in our escapism(s) of choice that it feels like must of the people around where I live, don’t care or can’t be bothered with challenging the Orange Man Regime. Saying and showing that enough is enough. We will no longer be lead a stray. We will no longer believe the lies that divide us as people in this country. It is not the general people who are to blame for the vast majority of our issues.
    3. Grape flavored Otter Pops were the best.













  • In this day in age, and if you’re an average user, I’d be surprised if you didn’t max out more often with 8 gigs of ram, compared to those with 16 gigs of ram. That’s not to say it can’t be done.

    I’m running 32 gigs right now. I’m currently using 9.8 gigs. I have 2 or of 3 Edge browsers in use, 5 tabs in total. 2 Youtube videos are paused, and the rest are low end resource tabs. Steam on standby, Discord open, and Spotify open and ready. Closing Steam dropped it down to 9.1 gigs of ram in use.










  • I personally own a DataVac Electric Duster (with attachments) that I got on sale for just under $100. It might seem like a lot to pay, but I did the math and figured via forums that people tend to dust their computers 2-4 times a year. I’ve had mine for over 7 years now and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to die anytime soon. And why would it? I’ve used it about 20 times. It should have a life of 180 - 300 uses, but that’s just a hunch. It’s also powerful enough to be used around the shop or workbench for other things besides dusting your electronics. Just use a bit of caution while using. I tend to gently hold my fan blades while I focus the duster on them. It does well, and I then just use several q-tips to carefully wipe the blades clean of any lingering dust.

    Here’s a breakdown of the cost. $100 / used 2 times a year / for 10 years = $5 a year.

    I got curious about what compressed air in a can is now days and it seems to be about $4.50 - 5.25 per can online, and this was in a bulk buy of 6-12 cans, with each can being 10-12oz. While a can could be saved after using what you need, it has a chance of leaking compressed air from the can while it’s in storage. Not an issue with an electric duster. You don’t have to reorder cans if you just get an electric duster. And another selling point that was important for me, it’s a heck of a lot better on the environment to just get an electric duster for your PC than it is to have a pack of cans shipped to you, use and toss the spent can. And because it’s a compressed item, even after being spent, it’s harder to find anyone willing to recycle them.

    Moving onto an electric duster was one of the best things I’ve done to help take care of my electronics. Especially my PC.










  • I don’t recall where I learned this, but I believe it was from a documentary about the Mexican cartels that I watched years ago.

    Simple answer: Yes. It’s very much a cat and mouse game, and sometimes they sacrifice the few so that others can successfully smuggle in their load of drugs.

    Long answer: They operate in huge numbers of people moving their drugs into the US (and other countries for that matter). They gather information from smugglers, scouts, informants, and even insiders of all sorts. With this kind of info network, they are better able to adjust where and when they send someone over. And if we look at who these people are that smuggle the drugs over, they sadly are those that either don’t have better opportunities where they’re from, have been kidnapped and forced to smuggle, have been blackmailed, have been extorted with threats of their loved ones being killed, tortured, or kidnapped. So they are often stuck in following through with the demands or face the cartel’s consequences. Hence why some will be used as decoys, told to get caught with a small load. This gives the cartels a chance to simultaneously send several others elsewhere, all in the hopes that the bigger loads get through. Which actually was or is (?) a viable strategy. And we haven’t even talked about the five ways that they commonly move their drugs into the US. On land, underground, in the air, on the water, and underwater with custom made submarines called a Narco-submarine
