Same here (W520). I have maxed out everything. 32GB RAM, two SSDs, two external monitors. I will continue using this thing and make it the ThinkPad of Theseus.

Fuck modernity.

Uuuuh yeah, I'll take a Celeron with a side of system date, thanks.

Considering the extreme gender disparity of online dating, I'm inclined to agree. Funny how no one cares about that inequality.

Create an aggressively high truck and SUV personal vehicle ownership tax that increases every year. Tie that tax rate to not only the vehicle's ecological and public safety impact, but also to the owner's income (so that you don't have rich fucks just buying them anyway).

Create buy-back programs that offer reasonable market prices and trade-in values for used trucks and SUV's, which would be held as stock for sale to industry and ag, which would be exempt from the above taxes or taxed at lower rate.

Tightly regulate automobile financing so you can no longer offer loans that outlive large dog breeds.

Subject all consumer motor vehicles to fuel economy standards with no bullshit exceptions.

Yes, this will inconvenience a lot of people with first world problems, but you'll never fix anything if your primary goal is to please everyone.

Snake oil bullshit that this is, why the hell are voting machines a thing that exists?

Any electronic device that exists in a voting booth will always and forever be a tremendously Bad Idea.

You can just press CTRL+SHIFT+T and CTRL+SHIFT+N continually to reopen closed tabs and windows, respectively, in the order they were closed.

As Mozilla points out, there are numerous safe browsing systems to which you can opt in — opting in being the key here — and there's nothing preventing any entity, the French government included, from creating their own software, browser extension, or DNS service for anti-fraud purposes. They don't need legislation for that, but they do need laws to force software providers to implement a non-optional, government-operated blacklist of "no-no" sites they deem unacceptable for any reason they see fit; it will absolutely not be limited to fraud alone.

France's proposal is so stupefyingly contrived, it's so obvious this is the true intention.
