      I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And we're all about to see the light I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe No one's gonna stop me now I gotta make my escape But I can't stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike

      Yale Economist says that the $300 Million Musk spent to buy him a spot next to Idiot47 cost him millions of EV sales. Elon Musk's cringe-posting addiction cost Tesla over one million car sales

      OK, let me see if I can help you clean it up. First do you have your original installation media for the laptop? If so what version of windows? Second, how did your MSFT Office get on the laptop? Do you have media or did it come preinstalled? If preinstalled, usually there was an option to make backup media so recover and restore a clean install. Third, go to Start button, settings, apps. Here you can uninstall applications that you do not use, this will not only free up HD space but also reduce background running processes to speed up the system. Look for things like Skype that is no longer a valid product but has a ton of processes that run in the background. Some things that can be done over a clean install is that you can turn things off from the apps section such as Copilot, Cortana, etc.  I found this to be of interest for those that are willing to try Linux. 7 Linux Distributions to Replace Windows 11 & 10 Best Free Alternatives to Replace Windows 10 Safely 5 Windows-Like Linux Distros You Should Try Out 4 Linux distros you should use instead of upgrading to Windows 11 3 free Linux distros that look and feel like Windows | PCWorld Option abounds for those that are willing to change how your computer runs via another OS but still has the windows look and feel.

      True, but sadly the real world is doom and gloom if you go into any major city with Federal buildings. The ICE building in Seattle used to be a nice place to walk by on my way to work. Now it looks like a Nazi Concentration camp with guard posts outside, razor wire, nothing that says a Democratic America, just a Dictatorship run country. Very scary to see all the ICE out and about Harassing Americans as much as anyone else. ICE needs to be closed down, and a new Immigration department built with people who are human.
