To be clear to those just reading your comment without clicking through to your reference, the engine is not plastic. The block is still metal, as are the internal parts, but there are a lot of plastic bits all over joining things together (cheaper and perhaps planned obsolescence). Too many parts on the engine being plastic obviously makes for reliability issues (as your link describes).

You had me in the first half, but the second is icing on the cake.

I don’t think so. In another post it scored Newsweek credibility as “High”.

I don’t agree with that assessment, but still appreciate seeing what the bot says.

I did some analysis and then tested everything myself. I’ve now arrived at the only possible conclusion: it’s aliens.

The sheer absurdity of labeling an organization with “United Nations” in its name as a terrorist org is astounding. At what possible point would someone there ask, “Hey, do you think it’s us who are the baddies?”

Likely never, but it does make me wonder.

The most Western of diseases: lead poisoning.

What a coincidence! I have picnicking issues.

Here we have men going infertile, whereas in the movie it is the women. Yes, they could follow, certainly. Placentas might not be viable because of all the microplastics, or something. I don’t know as I am no babyologist.

Children of Men almost had it right.

Yes, and one of the reasons I want to keep it going. It’s an old Fujitsu and has a cool form factor (another reason). I recycled about a dozen laptops a few months back, but could not bear to see this one go. It came with XP, but I don’t care to reload that at all. Am also downloading older versions of Slack to see if they’ll work.

I have an old laptop with a Transmeta Crusoe CPU. Can anyone recommend a distro that will work on it? I’ll download this one and give it a shot too.

All I could think of was Enemy Mine.

Speaking to a cow-orker about it, they brought up the Iron Eagle films I had forgotten. Oh, yah…

Replying to say that I will check mine tomorrow. Too late tonight.

Edit: Mine did not have this film. :(

I see it on the High Seas and it is on its way to me.

Thanks for that.

Somewhat curious how CZ has never worked for you. I’ve used it for years and any failures it has had were fixed with tweaking some of the options. I love the tool myself, but I have also never heard of Rescuezilla so thanks for that. I think I’ll give that a go next time.

The private trackers I use have stipulations stating if one of your invited folks breaks the rules you get punished as well. Makes it a very selective process choosing whom to share with.
