I mean OP would be paying taxes here and spending money in our economy, while not taking an existing job. That's pretty good.

That only works if the carbon in the plastic originally came from the atmosphere, but we use oil to make plastics. So increased demand for plastic = increased demand for oil, and that oil was already sequestered to begin with.

Think of it this way - imagine nationally the election is close and how your state distributes EC votes determines the outcome. Let's further say 70% of your citizens voted for candidate A, but for candidate A to win nationally they need all your EC votes. Given that your state laws should primarily be for the benefit of said state's citizens, would you really want an outcome that 70% of your state's voters don't want? All it would take is one election where this determined the outcome before the voters would make it "winner takes all".

Work computer. I'd wipe it with Linux if I could.

How do you get systemd to work properly? Maybe because I tried to follow MS's "use your own distro" instructions instead of using something prepackaged?

Many distros (at least Ubuntu) auto-installs security updates, and here a mislabeled "security update" was auto-installed. This is not the fault of the sysadmins.

Looked it up myself - they're still counting votes but as of now 63.8% of voters supported it.

Article didn't say - how much did it pass by?

No. They have a trial of 100 one-time searches, but that's it.

The extended support updates aren't available to end consumers but is a paid product for enterprises that need more time to update.
