The point is where the money comes from, but he knows that. He just feels called out. Victim millionaires.

Sorry to ruin the meme (which I found funny), but shouldn’t the lever thingy of the grenade be out?

In some cars ( don’t know if it applies to all with modern systems) you can have enough amps in the battery to move the starter relay, making the clicking sound, but not enough to fully engage or turn the starter. Also in my past experience I had one car (VW Beetle) where over long driving the heat would cause the replay to get “gummy”, so it would stick enough to prevent it from moving. An old trick there was to short the terminals to free it. I wouldn’t recommend that on a new car though, too many electronics that can get damaged.

I would investigate the battery and its connections first. Make sure it’s a good battery still, that everything from the terminals to the starter AND alternator are good. An alternator charging problem can lead to a battery that is slowly not getting a full charge and eventually dying, even if it’s not old. But until you get it to turn over, it’s one of these parts of the starting system, it’s not too complex.

Help them rebuild?

We’ve become less of both, free and safe. I don’t see this helping either of those. Btw, I just learned that the Ben Franklin quote of liberty or safety is actually out of context and was concerning a specific situation in Pennsylvania. The general idea was, don’t take away our freedom in the name of safety, give us the freedom and ability to make ourselves safe. I see these drones as an arms race to let the police do what they want to do without being in danger themselves. Oh, the kids? Well, sorry about that, shooting people is all the police are trained on.

There went my theory. It was a bump, and then a flat tire.

“I hate Discovery.”

“This isn’t the Star Trek show.”

“Oh… never mind.”

Hey, are we going to get the original Discovery channel back? Or any of the good ones from old cable? No? Oh well…

Pray for their job?

Should have retroed Clippy. They probably would have got a few percent bump just from nostalgia.

Some people are concerned about the way the question is worded, but assuming you got a legit PC that is free to use as you wish, you should be able to do a full wipe of the drive wit a new install of Linux and be fine, since the Windows part will be gone. Data could still be there unless you rewrite over with random data (some partitioners with installers offer to do that, but it takes a while). As for which Linux, it depends on how old and the hardware capability. You might need to use one of the “light” versions that is designed for older hardware and less memory. But just about anything is doable to some degree. A few years ago I put a Lubuntu version on an old Netbook with very limited hard drive space and processing power, and it runs fine for basic applications. Not going to be doing power number crunching or gaming on it, but that’s fine.

As far as how, the basic idea these days is to create a USB flash drive with an installer on it for the Linux version you want, and boot up to run that USB instead of the drive. Then just follow the instructions. Maybe before that look up some videos on a few examples, but it’s no harder than if you installed Windows on a drive for the first time.

Would anything be able to stay and do anything if the whole partition is rewritten? The one thing I’d be suspicious of depending on where it came from is the BIOS level, but even that can be flashed to a stock version, if you know the original board manufacturer.

Both of those can happen long before 97.

The act of “trying to push him into US waters” sounds like typical cop behavior. Pulled you over and can’t find anything wrong enough to arrest you, so they push you around verbally or physically until you give them something to work with. Let me guess, they capsized the boat in their efforts, pulled him out of the water, and then said because he was on their boat now he’s on American soil and therefore under arrest.

They won’t fire them. Trump will just ignore any satire that they throw his… lol, no, he won’t. I don;t know how this will go. That’s a lot to write off by firing. This could get ugly and go beyond just political and business dealings. “Will someone rid me of these cartoon guys?”

Funded by public money through taxes, now have to be funded directly through donations from the public. While the public still gets taxed. Hmmm.
