And basically all frozen chicken in US stores has been pumped full of brine. That includes raw chicken parts that look otherwise unprocessed.

Go buy a clamp stretcher. Life changing!

That’s been a core value of the academy for decades. It’s a religious cult disguised as a military academy

Grotesque.

Named windows 365 because that’s how many days of the year you’ll pay for it (and hate it).

Second, it’s very easy to replace the launcher, as already mentioned in the thread.

Third, a general purpose computer would almost certainly be more powerful in absolute terms, it would also be much worse in terms of usability for the specific purpose of playing videos and acting like a tv appliance.
