Fauci is the boy who cried Wolf.
Then when no wolf showed up, he cried Bear.
Then when no bear showed up, he cried Lion.

Ok, you may have tried them and say you taste no difference.
But I would point out to you that not all people “taste” the same and GOD FORBID that what happened to grapefruit happens to lemons!

I know about grapefruit. DUNCAN GRAPEFRUIT, the most delectable, tangy, tarty sweetness of a Duncan Grapefruit is impossible to imagine unless you’ve had it before.

Duncan (or WHITE GRAPEFRUIT is the first kind of Grapefruit imported and grown in America, the sweetness is indescribable, but the seed content is off the charts, I gave two trees that started from seeds last year. Because of the seeds, it was slowly, at first supplanted by seedless varieties and is now pretty much a taste of people’s childhood.

The new normal is the red seedless grapefruit, on my list of grapefruit varieties they don’t even rate a 1.

Duncan grapefruit does have it’s fans, however, Trees have been planted and orchards have been blooming, owing to the large size of the fruit and the trees that bear them it will be YEARS before you can walk into a supermarket and buy a simple Duncan Grapefruit.

It doesn’t matter, THREE TIMES Washington state people have passed a $30 car tab fee and THREE TIMES the government decided they could just ignore it.

Just like voting for the president, IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER!

It is an ILLUSION!!!

God help us...

Hey Bitcoin is what, 32,000 each?
What do you expect.

You are correct, my machine is indeed a 64 bit machine, as reported by Linux Mint.
Windows XP only said it was 32 bit,,,
So I am currently converting/copying data across and will soon be done with XP.
Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, I decided to use a 128GB thumb drive, but I am now backing that up to another PC before I write to it...

I agree. Mint seems to be the most “like” windows so is an easy transition.
The problem is I at first downloaded Ubuntu and installed it, while I was copying ISO files out of it I completely clobbered a HD that had about 70GB of data on it. Ubuntu couldn’t see the data. WinXP couldn’t see the data. I downloaded Mint and started it up and it saw the data. So now I get to pull off the cover of my PC and install a hard drive to copy it all off the corrupted drive...
Arghhh!!!!

BTW, It is an Xfinity wireless modem but I am ethernet attached, I’m talking to you right now under Ubuntu but I’m not thrilled with it,... I think I would like something more RH like or Knoppix like.

No, I don’t have a new Knoppix downloaded.
I DO HAVE the latest version of Ubuntu installed - it hosed my system so I can’t boot WinXP anymore so I lost all my stuff,,, and I’m not happy about that... well the “stuff” is still there, I just can’t get XP to boot so I an thinking about FIXMBR but then will I lose Ubuntu? Ubuntu is not very good with multi OS loaders, etc.

This IS A COUP!
The reason they want the 25th amendment is to get him locked up in a mental hospital or something, to have his sanity questioned.
Why?
Because Trump has the secrets.

The machine I’m using now is an older (circa 2005) Compaq SR1900NX with a 3.3 GHZ processor, I have a couple ~120 GB hard drives in it, it is a 32 bit machine. It is ethernet plugged into my modem (xfinity) but because of WinXP limitations, FTP download fails for anything bigger than 2 gig.

32 bit version of Linux Mint?

Moving to Linux makes sense in this age of big tech crackdowns against conservatives,
Exactly.

Well like I said I have the CD from Knoppix that I burned around 2005.
It does work on my current computer, so I am trying to get an update to 8.6.1 Knoppix or something more current.
That means getting my Internet to work (when Knoppix is booted) so I can download the ISO images I need.
Thank you for not telling me about Ubuntu or answering some question I didn’t ask!

I’ll tell you what, after Trump leaves office on Jan 20th. You need to have a good ear.
Because EVERYTHING he says will be THE TRUTH!
No matter how unbelievable or bizarre it sounds...
Think about it.
Think about the top, most guarded secrets in the US.
And now you know why exactly he isn’t our president again.
But they can’t shut him up forever.

Exactly my point.
Why should we? Or anybody at all?

I am not in any way advocating violence or rebellion.
I am just asking questions.

Hey.
They tried the ballot box, no luck.
They tried the jury box, no one would listen.
You know what’s next...
