I would be looking up local decibel ordinances and organizing a technically-legal never-ending block party outside his house for as long as it took for him to apologize. But what this guy ACTUALLY deserves is getting dragged out of his house and getting the shit kicked out of him.

Hell yeah! My family loved the Midvale Fall Festival last week! I'm glad the city has made livability a priority.

“My party is being infiltrated by people like Bo French,” Rove said. “Nick Fuentes goes to Dallas and meets with a bunch of Republican leaders. This guy is a Nazi. We’ve got all these people getting on their little podcasts and so forth, saying: ‘We’re just asking questions about the Jews.’”

Rove added that welcoming people such as French and far-right podcaster Fuentes into the Republican Party will hurt conservatives in the long run.

“We didn’t labor in the wilderness to build a conservative party that was inclusive and welcoming … to see it taken over by a bunch of bigots,” Rove said.

"The purpose of a system is what it does," was coined by Stafford Beer in 1979. The bottom line is, it doesn't matter what a system is intended, advertised, or "supposed" to do. What matters is what it actually does in the real world, what behaviours it influences, and what outcomes it produces.

If building the computer itself is a big part of your goal, get Windows. If you're just trying to save money, consider looking for a 5-year-old used Mac Mini or Macbook. Probably similar price point but a lot easier to get started.

You can get by with older/cheaper hardware compared to a gaming PC. Here's the minimum system requirements for Ableton. Most DAWs will probably be similar. help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/art... Use pcpartpicker.com to guide you in building a full system that's compatible. You can compare prices too.

Patriots Day Freedom Fest, a conservative festival, was canceled days before it was set to take place in northern Kentucky, and include speakers like Kid Rock.

The festival's organizer, lawyer, and political commentator Eric Deters announced the cancellation of the free event on Sept. 21 via Facebook Live, revealing that only six $1,000 VIP tickets had been purchased.

You’re absolutely correct. My mum was born in London as the child of Turkish Cypriot immigrants and though her experience was slightly different there are a lot of parallels to the South Asian diaspora experience.
