I can promise they are VERY compatible with Linux, HPC systems use their GPUs, in a completely Linux environment. They are fantastic GPUs to use in a Linux environment performance wise.

But we want the sauce.

So what? Add another question to the background check "are you a Nazi?" because the "are you a terrorist?" question should already take care of that one, so it seems to be working really well.

What about how I can just gift a gun to a family member? Or maybe how no one has followed up on me since I've purchased a gun, maybe I'm a crackpot now. People change.

Responsible gun ownership is impossible to enforce, sure my shit is locked up in a safe, but no one knows that and it isn't required. No one comes around to check that it is safely secured, no one comes around to check that I haven't fallen down a QAnon conspiracy rabbit hole, no one comes around to check that I'm mentally sound and don't have any anger problems.

Ammo sales aren't tracked either, so sure I have a reasonable amount of ammo but I could have enough to cause serious problems as no one would know.

So really this comes down to two solutions right? Take away guns, or spend a fuck ton of money to regulate sales, registration, send therapists to people's homes to evaluate their mental health periodically, track ammo sales, install biometrics on guns so that only the owner can fire it and as evidence of when the gun goes off who must have shot, install trackers and sensors on gun safes to feed information back to the government to know how often a gun is safely locked away and when it's not where it is... Etc honestly.

And again, I'm a gun owner.

I gotta doubt that that's feasible:

2017 R-Pod RP-176 is a very small travel trailer weighing dry in at 3800lbs/1720kgs, it's not the trailer in the photo but... It looks about the same size, single axle, short as shit, tear drop shape. And that's the dry weight, once you add in gear That's a lot more weight. Typically most people expect to add in about another 1500 lbs/680kg from the dry weight. So that's a total of about 2400kgs, which is past what that car should tow.

In fact I'm not really seeing any trailers that aren't pop-ups that would qualify at the weight you're saying, even without gear.

That's not to say it doesn't exist, hell maybe my Google searches aren't showing me shit from across the pond that would work, but metal is heavy.

Idk someone else in this thread said that it's kinda a rule in the EU not to buy a used Dutch car with a trailer hitch

Easy Google search shows this car should not be pulling a travel trailer.

Motorcycle trailer, sure. But basically best case scenario this trailer is at it's tow capacity, which does not give much wiggle room for failure.

But most likely it's quite past the tow capacity. It's tow capacity is 2000kg/4400lbs. A travel trailer's dry weight is already close to that. If it was a pop up camper that'd be one thing, but this is a full dead ass travel trailer. It's probably around 5000lbs, and who knows what's stuffed in the back. This is a safety issue.

Quick edit: this is not to say you need to own an F150 for the one time a year you do this, but maybe rental?

This is the most likely situation, that car has a towing capacity of 2000kg or about 4500lbs

Travel trailer of that size is probably about 5000-6000lbs.

So this is what you'd call dangerous, and good luck if there's a hill.

I love how you just have a compulsive need to be wrong at this point, it's something you don't see everyday.

For you, a hard g is more popular and comfortable, and that's great. Doesn't make it correct, but it's still great.

Actually that's exactly what makes it correct, language is democratic. The more popular way to convey ideas is the correct way, as that is the entire purpose of language (to convey ideas to other individuals) and that's why language changes over time.

Unless it's the start of the word and then it's usually pronounced g.

Gerrymandering was named after Elbridge Gerry, but his name is pronounced Gary: https://youtu.be/Rp0Qz19nlG4

Popularity of pronunciation does actually matter, regardless of origin.

There are plenty of pronunciations that have changed from the original and are now generally accepted as correct. Here are some examples

For 3 centuries, bible said 4. That book is known for exaggeration.

It's the difference between believing the pyramids were built by ancient Egyptian gods, and believing they were built by aliens.

Can you explain that difference? Because that sounds exactly the same to me, any sufficiently advanced alien culture would appear as gods to ancient civilizations.
