Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’

There is only one American memory company: Micron. Sk Hynix and Samsung are South Korean.

Everyone else who sells memory modules in the west gets the actual memory chips from one of those three companies. Beyond that there is only one company that makes the waifers that the chips are made from and I think its Dutch. Definitely European.

Illinois Ends Mandatory Road Tests for Drivers Ages 79-86

In Louisiana you take your road test at the same commercial place that teaches you to drive. Once you pass they give you the documentation you need to take to the DMV to get your license. Except some of the commercial title places can do that too. Lots of people will pay for the convenience of not going ro the DMV. Given the state, I wouldn't be surprised to find that the Sec of State owns a chain of these places.

With so many mental exams Trump has taken and said it's standard. How come Reagan didn't have one to show he had onset Alzheimers? Do we really know who was running the country back then?

I don't know how it was diagnosed in the 1980s but the test Trump brags about acing wasn't developed until 1996.

I imagine it was easier to hide Reagan's decline because of the lack of social media. Even Biden's decline was hidden better than Trump's because he didn't use it constantly. But given Trump's rise to power was (and continues to be) greatly aided by a neverending stream of train of thought tweets having them stop or change tone now would just trigger speculation that he is incompassitated in some way That's already happened a couple times when he has gone quiet for a couple days.

I dont like MAGA on MAGA violence and would like it to stop but if it must continue can they at least accept that is what it is? I'm tired of the blame that everyone non-MAGA gets before the MAGA shooter inevitably gets caught.
