I think the biggest tragedy of American culture is that we don't have any WITHOUT relationships to capital.
Even our home grown Christian sects are based around prosperity gospel or a protestant work ethic.
Historically all imported cultural traditions are here because of material conditions and work opportunities. (Maybe an exception for Jews escaping persecution).
And looking at the ethics and priorities of the American founding fathers it's obvious that capital has always been the crux of our culture. All the nonsense about freedoms and liberties were simply the correct things to say in the moment. Did you honestly believe they believed these truths to be self evident for everyone? Or the select few.

Glad that you're up and running. Yeah, the reset circuit on the clock module is running pretty close to tolerances. It should auto-reset on powerup, but doesn't always do that. Backplane reset button will always work.
And sorry about your retinas. The latest batch of LEDs is significantly brighter that the ones I originally supplied.

The early- to mid-1990s were the heydays of PA-RISC computers, with many workstations released by HP. Marketing usually had a strong technical focus but sometimes more colorful material slipped through.
HP 9000 workstations were popular in the 1990s through the 2000s: HP 712 and 715, B-Class and J-Class (SMP), with all 32-bit PA-RISC processors.

Trump has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined.
He seems more willing to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.
He celebrates a show of force on U.S. soil even as he denounces “endless wars” outside its borders.

IF you are out-and-about, stick to crowds.
IF you are inside, lock all your external doors, put your steel crossbars in place, do not answer your door and do not sit/stand in clear sight from any of your first floor windows.
