You know who Charlie is, right? diggers from a SE Asian country? I'm a little slow on the uptake. I'm kinda buried here, hope to see daylight sometime soon. |

Tunnel diggers from a SE Asian country? I'm a little slow on the uptake. I'm kinda buried here, hope to see daylight sometime soon. I'm busy prepping a new, faster laptop (so I can annoy people more quickly on forums).  TBH, it was a bit too obscure ... I think. |

It's a cheapie ASUS with i7, 16Gb RAM and a 1Tb SSD. Personal finances, communication, an occasional bit of scripting, shares, fiddling with the OS. I don't play games, except on this forum.  |

When this administration won't even defend our own border, why would it surprise US that it isn't interested in defending anything else? Imaginary, feel good issues take priority.
