PCs are adult legos. Put your components in PC part picker and make sure they are compatible. At this point, look for a used system on Craigslist or etc to take the ram and hdd from. The other components might be a little inflated but not as bad.

    Fantasizing about having the skills or time to play with 3d printing / laser engraving. The tech has advanced so far in the last year or so. Lasers can now make color patterns in steel - just based on different wavelengths of laser light. Those are the expensive lasers, but still really cool that you could take a flat metal panel and turn it into a picture with the power of lasers.

    They are probably vulnerable to the php exploit that was discovered recently. Tell them they need to hire someone to fix it before it starts serving malware to their constituency

    Why would 42 prohibit future wealth taxes? We just need an initiative that changes that back, right? Could that and the tax be all in one initiative or does it need to be split up.

    A) it should exempt nonprofits. B) a tax on digital services seems fine - but per GB seems wrong - penalizing speeds and high bandwidth services over low ones doesn't make sense. France shouldn't care if someone is watching Netflix in SD or HD - it should be taxing based on cost of the plan. C) for free services, they should tax based on the revenue gained from advertising. That would give a cut of Facebook revenue.

    I dno. There have been nature specials about interspecies bonds between animals. They're like little people that have their favorites. Not that surprising.
