“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”.

The investigative tale as old as time with any force that has no public oversight.

No, no they won’t. But it makes for a nice soundbite for the gullible masses.

They’ve killed in captivity, had one ruled a homicide by an examiner, publicly executed 2 in front of cameras and so far they’ve managed to at least have their budget increased. At some point something will break.

This weekend. I’ve asked my significant other to check through and backup any files she may need but we’re switching off Microslops ecosystem this coming week. Got it down to Ubuntu or Mint for an ease of use while not jumping in the hole too deep. But we are in agreement at least to turn away.

Thanks Everyone. We went with Mint Cinnamon Distro. The hardest part being how to get into the BIOS and turn on the USB boot. Everything that was installed windows wise is now installed mint wise and got the other halfs’ bookmarks up and running in a browser for her (Vivaldi if anyone’s interested). VPNs up and working and so far so good. Didn’t get spammed to death with subscriptions windows which is a major plus.

Of the cisterns cracked, hairline or otherwise, this will need to be replaced. Might be easier to replace the toilet depending if the throne or cistern is the one leaking or cracked.

Danger, Danger. High Voltage …
