A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.
Selective Service would like a word with you.
An all-volunteer military isn’t that ironclad an outcome. I can certainly see service being used to leverage young men and of course “inform” them with nationalistic propaganda.

I got something similar. I ask if they have need of the spider man suit and to bring the harness and lube and I’ll bring the Bad Dragon to peg them with.
Funny, but they never reply. I really, really, want to peg them. :(

Just wait - Millennials and Gen-Z - until there’s a war and an active draft in the US again.
Venezuela anyone? (Dear God, I hope not but the current asshat in the Oval Orfice seems bent on taking a page from the Monroe Doctrine and adding teeth. Gotta justify Kegsbreath’s trillion dollar DOD budget plans after all…)
Shit’s gonna get VERY real and you may gain a bit of insight as to why 'boomers just gave up and “went condo” as they used to say.

NGL, wind up analog clocks are useful in places where the power goes out often. I have a 7-day grandfather clock and it’s been a godsend when northeasters turn into ice storms that take down the power for days…

Yeah. My husband went out to the pub 6 nights a week. He’s no longer drinking - quit last year - finally! (I quit in 2009)
Seriously, alcohol is overrated.

OMG, yes… Poor Roman Brady on Days of Our Lives… He was made and remade - though granted, Drake Hogestyn did a bang-up job as Roman/John Black.

I’d say Elon Musk. He threw how many millions at Trump’s presidential run thinking Don would return the favor once he was president…
So how’d that work out for you, Elon?
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
This place (old.lemmy.zip) is downright chill. Then again, I just came of Reddit and that is in full rage-bait algorithm-driven meltdown. Feels like Reddit in 2010 here. Just lovely…

- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
No, they won’t. You’ll only get a new car if the vehicle is new (within 5 years and udner a certain mileage) and still being paid off, because then the financier/lender is still in the mix. Lenders can and will aim their own lawyers at the insurers.
- Comment on Insuranace is a joke 2 weeks ago:
This is the way.
It’s hard though, to just get liabilty on a car if you’re still making payments on it.
It’s gotta be 100% yours with no payments or liens on it.
Then you can go for a nice high liability policy. I’ve always bought older used and just gotten policies to cover OTHER people I may accidentally hit. No collision - If i’m not paying attention and slide off the road into a rock… that’s on me.
I also would add glass and theft to that liability policy. The glass coverage saved my ass a few years ago when I caught a rock behind (what else?) a dump truck.

- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 2 weeks ago:
Thing is, those are guardsmen. Probaly are called up and pulled from their families to end up in Chicago… All for the benefit of a deflecting old fuck that doesn’t want us to remember that he’s likely on the Epstein list for doing the dirty to underage girls.
This is the EXACT thing we’re supposed to forget. Epstein.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 3 weeks ago:
Ok, thats good to know. The limited access to Linux I’ve dabbled with in the past used Gnome - which was fine - but I’m always up for learning something new.
- Comment on SteamOS on my gaming PC? 3 weeks ago:
I recommend picking the dropdown to not boot into Steam Gaming Mode.
Good to know…
Thank you!

Exasperated Sigh
LOL! Sorry! Newbie nitwittery on the loose!
I’m actually an over four-decades long Apple user who’s main usage was graphics and music.
The PC was a former hackintosh running El Capitan and used for video production and Aperture… I bought it from the guy that built it and slapped Win 10 into it just to game on. (I did add the nVidia 3060…) Not really familiar with things outside of the Apple ecosystem, but I’m now fed up with the constant churn there and looking to expand into new territory.
I saw SteamOS mentioned and tucked it away in the back of my head and just remembered to ask about it earlier.
So now I know! You gotta ask somewhere no? So it might as well be here…
Am going to suss out the Bazzite and probably add it on a separate SSD - I have connectors for 3 drives in the PC and a Thunderbolt expansion card which may or may not work that is currently in a drawer with the USB 3 card…
Dual boot, (which I do use on my old MacPros) shouldn’t be a problem on the PC - I do that from the PC’s UEFI, amirite? - so I will keep the Windows install and just play with the Bazzite until I get comfy with it.
Thanks!

Penguins it is then!
I’m currenty an Apple user looking at the EOL of my ancient indestructible Intel kit (my newest Mac is a 2010 MBP which is running an unsupported macOS install) and deciding that, given Apple’s interminably frustrating OS decisions (walled gardens and all that rubbish…) on top of their switching yet again to a different platform - Apple SIlicon - that Linux is going to be my next adveture in OSes…
Will start with the PC and Bazzite, and may need a bit of help, as while I do know a few Terminal commands in the Mac, the PC presents a bit of a mystery (though I hope it’s gonna be less alien than I think, once the Linux OS is in…)
Much thanks to everone!
