Texas AG Ken Paxton was acquitted at his impeachment trial. He still faces legal troubles
GOP: we've investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.
Nothing if not predictable.

It all makes sense now.
I've read several books in the Objectivists library, including Atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and the virtue of selfishness.
For a certain kind of person, I do think they have value in showing a different ethical/moral framework. To wit, if you have been raised on the principal that you must always sacrifice your own happiness for others, then Onjectivist philosophy is quite novel and can actually be helpful in moving towards a more self-actualized thought mode.
For most others, however, it can turn you into a raging a-hole.
In terms of how tenable the overall principles are in practice, just remember that Rand herself went on social security.

Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users
Windows is like the corner prostitute: pay some money, usually get what you want although not the best, occasionally get some horrible disease
Linux is like the sweet SO: has its quirks but you love them for it. let's you grow in your skills but that can be challenging at times. Surprises you in good and bad ways.
Edit: for grammar

I bought my Tesla 4 years ago before EM went full douche mode. I actually quite like the car but would not buy one these days on account of him.

Is this some kind of achievement?
In keeping with the n+1 rule, clearly the only way to handle this is with an entirely new bike. Lol.

Can't relate to be honest, I still use MBR boot
I feel this.
Although my last bootloader is adventure was pretty easy...installed a completely separate drive for Linux and wanted to boot off of that drive (sdb). A bug in the Linux mint installer put the bootloader on my the windows drive instead (sda).
Was fairly straightforward to switch over though (change in fstab then installing grub). I use the bios boot selector (F11) for me to select either the win loader or my Linux mint efi.
Am switching over to Linux as primary driver. So tired of nags, ads, "switch to Edge", long updates, etc. love being able to ssh+x onto that (relatively beefy) box from my laptop and run ides and such.

Same junk, different year. Remember Carter vs. Reagan and the delay of release of the Iranian hostages to discredit Carter? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Very nice. Unfortunately in Windows so no iptables for me. Nice to know this is possible...may have to see if I can do this with vbox or inside WSL.
