The food and water part, no problem. Strangers in my apartment is a hard no! Sorry.

I don't know him personally, so if he got quieter or lied (he actually has a statement on his website that, according to you is a lie) about his views, I would not know. Look, I see more than plenty of reasons for one not to like him. I feel people run with media reports even when we have his email transcripts that can be read word for word.

Minsky never raped anyone. The 17 year old girl was sent to him and politely refused. She has even confirmed this. I feel as if he goes to great lengths to speak clearly and people never seem to listen.

I do agree, however, his early views on pedophilia are creepy. I have never heard him support cp, so I won't argue either way.

I wish people would read the published mail thread and not the news articles...he never defended rapists. His quote was quite different. Also, the victim, insofar as her interaction with his old boss, confirmed what happened.

he has never endorsed cp! He has, however, supported any one over the age of 14 having sex, and has changed his view on that a decade ago.

 

I've been working through the homework and feeling good. I think I want to take the first exam on Oct 1. Anyone done this before? I'm successfully getting through homework, but looking for tips on what else I can do to prepare to successfully pass the exam.

Although it's free...I already took the morning off from my hourly job to take the exam...so...I really want, not just to pass, but really kill it!

I'm running Arch i bought it for it's size to carry and i need the wifi. It still has the hard drive, but I'm not a huge speed needer, the memory is because i like to use virtualization sometimes. I'm gonna pass on the ssd

I hope you are correct, sexy peaches! Honestly, i want to love peer tube...i just have a hard time with it right now.

PS...(if you remember me) i upgraded my x220 Thinkpad memory...i didn't even need the article you shared with me...it was that easy! Yes, the machine is boxy and not glamorous, but something should be said when even I can upgrade an old machine into something pretty snappy for $100. I'm a Thinkpad user for life!

I want to like peer tube, but as an old man, i find it impossible to navigate. Odyssey, seems, on the surface okay, until I'm bombarded with Trumper type people and their nonsensical content.

What i do, and don't judge, is watch YouTube through the FreeTube app (invidious) in my defense, most of the YouTubers i follow, taught me how to do that, so i don't feel guilty of ripping them off. There is one exception..there is a monthly YouTuber i watch that shows gay culture through the lense of old TV and movies ...Matt Baum, and that makes me feel bad, but I really try to limit the reach of Google on my laptop.

I will...there is already 4, so i thought...add 12!

This should be interesting. I will check the link...i still have to order the memory.

I couldn't buy an 8 and a 4 to make 16 with the 4 already there? I've never done this before, but the machine was cheap...so i figure why not learn something?

 

Just looking for advice/opinion. I bought from ebay, what i thought was an x220 Thinkpad with 8G of RAM..turned out only to have 4. I left a bad review but will keep the machine. I put Arch/Sway anyway.

I want to add RAM...i think it can go up to 16. I looked on line and i think it would be about $50 to buy the memory...so i thought o would find an online tutorial and add the memory myself...is this a bad idea?
