That piece of information isn't required for the purpose of verifying identity.

Yes. Your VM folder is a Windows folder and the files are in NTFS format. No. But just use Virtualbox snapshots instead of Timeshift. Quick rollback if needed. You can also use something like Macrium Reflect to create both full and incremental backups of your VM folder and later restore either the full backup or whichever incremental you choose.

Modern LTS (long-term support) flavors of Linux are quite stable and have user-friendly interfaces. Linux Mint, for example. The issue before changing over would be to check if all your hardware and peripherals are supported. Most are. Perfectly understandable. Yet one of the perks of aging is that I never really need all those programs anymore. LibreOffice, for example, is quite enough as an office suite and I don't even use that very often. Two workarounds: use a Windows virtual machine; use the Wine emulator. Wine will run quite a lot of older versions of Windows software. I mainly use Windows also because I'm lazy. I seem never to get around to installing Steam on my OpenSUSE, which I really like, for playing games, or setting up a number of utilities for which I've already installed working Windows versions. I know I can happily change over if I wish, and just yesterday I did so wish when Windows insisted on a reboot to finish an update.

Happens sometimes, not often (even less with modern UEFI and later versions of Windows), notably when you install both on the same disk. Windows may overwrite the Linux grub bootloader. That can be fixed, of course, but it's annoying. Best that they have separate disks. Not a big deal as SSDs are so cheap nowadays, and a Linux OS doesn't need much capacity. Never had an issue w/ that config. Linux is the primary OS and boot Windows from the grub menu. Install Windows first, then Linux in any case. Exit VB and just mirror the folder that contains your virtual machines, with their .vbox and .vdi files.

Encounters with the constabulary if you're likely to act suspiciously owing to those benzos in your pocket, or may face possible arrest for whatever reason. Having the PP will then save you a bit of inconvenience. Particular banking transactions, and may depend partly on whether the account was opened using your pink card + passport. I can withdraw money over the counter w/ pink card and bankbook. But let's stay on topic, please. We may already have triggered some of our anti-pink card fanatics.

When it comes to observing righteously that a Brit perp "doesn't have a traditional Brit name" you do.

Forum tradition, man. Get with the program. Next up: he was just dodging a pothole or dog, we've all sometimes had a few too many, let he without sin cast the first stone, etc. etc.

Wait! Aren't all Brits just "Brits" regardless of race or ethnicity?

Yeah only tourists work in Japantown and own the Japanese shops there. Temporarily, before they return to Japan where they live. No local Japanese ever shopped there for Japanese stuff, of course. As local living and working in San Jose for years, I was of course never in the know. Nor did my Japanese girlfriend have a clue. Go figure.

Really? To think I lived and worked in San Jose and never even noticed it. Or Japantown in San Francisco.

It'd be nice to have a reasonably complete written report on the situation rather than having to listen to this "reporter/commentator" trying to eke out his living in Thailand. Fortunately Google provides a number of good sources of info.

Good on 'em, too.

Yamada. Not an American name. (To offer a common Brit defense) 🙂

I always use my utterly useless pink card.

Well, no, as that would be allowing you to indulge in ignoratio elenchi or missing the point, the informal fallacy of presenting an argument whose conclusion fails to address the issue in question. And of course you would not want to do that. The issue in question is whether you first committed the argument by assertion fallacy in that rare on-topic post and then falsely claimed--with the abundant pretentiousness that often accompanies false claims--that I was arguing against your non-existent arguments.🙂

No, we're not considering all that schoolmarm off-topic irrelevancy because it's your original post I first replied to that's the point of discussion.

And you've been shown a few times that it's only a problem in your mind 'cause you want it to be. Are you done?

No, you may simply quote of your assertions and show where you also presented the evidence it's based on and how it supported your imagined argument. So you have the chance to achieve a major breakthrough in your education here.

For being idiots? Context must always be considered. He left that to his campaign, and his campaign did. Trump is rather amused by the hysteria on the left and sometimes jokes about it. He likes to stir them up and get all the free publicity resulting.

Which is why you had no arguments to argue against. It seems to come down to your egocentric belief in the argument by assertion fallacy when the assertions are your assertions. At bottom you merely deluded yourself that your assertions somehow contained their own evidence, because you believe in them so naively, and, though lacking any stated evidence, thought that they actually were arguments. Then you imagined, falsely, that I was making arguments against your non-arguments and fatuously came up with a lot of irrelevancy for schoolmarm purposes. Class dismissed!

Yes they are. "As GM goes, so goes the nation." Another Biden term means an economic bloodbath for the country, too! Now, politicians do exaggerate. 🙂 Does Biden? Here, I'll give you more red meat for your fantasies: Unhinged Trump Threatens More Violence By Promising To Trigger A 'Landslide' On Election Day Media Reports Trump Threatened Nuclear War After He Says, 'This Guacamole Is The Bomb!' Babylon Bee The term is commonly used from everything from sports to the Oscars. It's only when Trump uses it that leftists seize on it, foolishly, to try to foment anti-Trump hysteria. Watch this typical Dim hypocrite righteously invoking, as you do, a definition to fit the narrative. So righteous.

Twelve municipalities permit illegal immigrants or noncitizens holding green cards or temporary work visas to participate in local elections. Others are pending, abetted by the corrupt leftist legal system. For example, Vermont's Supremes supported noncitizen participation in municipal elections despite the restriction in the state's constitution. Rather like the Colorado court ignoring the law to take Trump off the ballot. And President Biden's now speeding up temporary work authorizations for illegal immigrants, potentially granting them voting rights if Mayor Adams and Democrats succeed in their appeal for illegal voting. Furthermore, you've ignored the gain to Dems in the Electoral College by insisting on counting illegals in the census to ensure perpetual one-party Dim rule. As Elon Musk noted recently in his interview with Don Lemon, "If you look at the apportionment with and without illegals, I believe... there would be a net loss for blue states of approximately 20 seats in the House. This also applies to electing the president because the electoral college votes are also done by apportionment the same way that House seats are done."
