  • Windows11 is trying to do just that; having a minimum spec chip, so they could eventually drop support for a lot of older hardware. But PCs are so modular that you can pretty much add any hardware together and the OS (such as Linux) can figure out the packages you need to make it all run…but even Linux has dropped a lot of 32bit support in the last few years. So it happens, just at a much longer time frame





  • Agreed. I’m not a gun owner but was around guns as a kid (dad was a hunter) and he was super into safety of the whole thing. Except my friends dad wasn’t so safe, he had us reloading shotgun shells via purpose built relaoding carousal as kids. My friend had no qualms about it, but I’m like dude make sure the primer isn’t skewed when the shell comes down, careful with that. I had visions of a crimped primer setting off the powder lol






  • There was a book called the Domestic Encyclopedia that I used to have, it was a super thick book, it had all kinds of cleaning solution solutions depending on what you were cleaning. Somewhat ironically my clean freak wife made me get rid of it, so that the shelves liked tidy. But lemon and vinegar do work, the citrus oil and acids help breakdown stuff, where as 90% of things can be cleaned with just water anyway - water being the universal solvent.
