Alright . I ' ll finish it for you and the other guy . Although I ' m already drunk and Grandma is coming tomorrow for Thanksgiving . <| sep |> Would they make his responses less ridiculous ? <| sep |> Drunk and numb <| sep |> Well , the cubs did just win the world series ! <| sep |> pfsense is pretty popular . If it ' s just home use , Sophos offers two free products UTM and XG . Endian is popular with some alumni of my school , there ' s a free community version of that . I grabbed a Zotac mini PC w 2 NICs , an SSD , and 4 GB of memory for under $ 200 . For what it ' s worth , my home network works with Sophos XG on it , I ' m going to try something else out the weekend after next though . <| sep |> Kinda . The problem you have with a simple popular vote system is that the presidency has no reason to give a fuck what voters in rural places think , thus they get none of the important concessions they need like infrastructure because that money is all going to the urban areas that the president needs to win . Thus they could have the most angelic congressman ever and he still wouldn ' t be able to do dick all for his riding because all the money is going to the cities and the president and those congress people will just block anything from the rural congress that would divert the flow that keeps the city voters happy . What is more is that if your rural congress man gets to be a real pain in the ass doing his job the president can just openly undermine them without giving a fuck what his voters think as long as he keeps the cities happy .
