I will post.

They did stuff people take for granted because "they're obviously smart ideas, so they probably already existed a long time ago." That's all it is.

Also, I want to add to the list:

Birth control (1936)

Abortion (1973)

Domestic violence becoming a crime (yes, really)

The suffragettes (1903) were decades ahead of social work (late 1900s), so women weren't doing that either

The first woman was elected to the house of representatives in 1916 (Jeanette Rankin)

In 1922 Florence Ellinwood Allen is the first woman elected to a state supreme court

Women are granted the right to serve on juries (1947)

The use of contraceptives is completely legal for married couples (1965)

No fault divorce (1969)

Sex segregated "help wanted" signs banned (1973)

Housing and credit discrimination based on sex outlawed (1974)

Abortion is under attack, with birth control the next admitted target.

Some people really do want to get rid of no-fault divorce. (Murder rates went down when we got no-fault divorce because someone’s death was no longer the only way out.)

Our current administration wants to eliminate DEI, which is just diversity, equity and inclusion. What they want is to push out anyone who disagrees with them, or is not a white man. It’s re-segregation, but they don’t want to call it that…yet.

Just how ridiculous can they be?

What kind of stupid argument is this? How does it change the fact that Israel is a colonial project that is carrying out a genocide and starvation campaign?

Cores/Intel Cores (Ex. i3, i5, i9)= Processing Speed= how fast your internet and other programs run. More cores is better.

Hard [Disk] Drive(HDD)/Solid State Drive(SSD) (Ex. 250GB, 480GB, 2TB)= How much you can store on your computer (files and apps and programs). A Terabyte(TB) is 1,000 Gigabytes.

*HDD is cheaper and more storage while SSD is faster, more durable, and uses less energy.

Memory/RAM(Random Access Memory) (Ex. 4GB, 8GB, 16GB) = How many different things your computer can do At The Same Time.

Ex. A computer with 4GB of RAM will probably shit itself if you try to play a game with with the internet open.

‘Refurbished’ means it’s been in a technician’s hands recently and can’t be sold as new. That’s it. That’s all. In the US the FTC makes it illegal to sell something new if it’s been sold to an end user, so by definition a lot of perfect, ready-to-go hardware must be ‘refurbished’ in order to sell it again, no matter the circumstances.

Reasons a machine might be a refurb:

- Customer bought the item, decided they didn’t like the color, and returned it

- Customer bought the item, couldn’t figure out how to turn it on, and returned it

- Retailer opened the box for some reason and lost some of what gets shipped inside (manuals, cables, charger) and returned it

- Company bought 100 computers but went out of business before they could be installed or used

- Customer got a replacement for a damaged computer under warranty, and the manufacturer fixed what was wrong with the old machine and is now selling it as a refurb

I HAVE PERSONALLY WITNESSED ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS

Bottom line: ‘refurbished’ hardware has been repaired, tested, cleaned, and renewed back to original specifications by a trained technician. If anything, it’s probably MORE reliable now that it’s been doubly-tested. 

All responsibly refurbished equipment comes with a factory warranty... the only refurbs I would avoid are items sold ‘as-is’ without warranty. That’s dangerous unless you know what you’re doing, like buying stuff for parts.

A lot of my most reliable hardware -- servers, laptops, tablets -- were bought as refurbished goods at huge savings. When I go shopping for a new thing I always look at the refurbished options first. 

They have build guides for every budget and purpose that change quite often.

You can check other people's builds

You can use their PC Builder to personalize your machine based on your budget and it also shows the best price from various merchants.

Plus it tells you if there are compatibility or wattage issues.
