News for System 76 fans:

We're about to build the Model S of computers. Something so brilliant and beautiful that reviewers will have to add an 11 to their scores. Being that we're System76 and we do things the System76 way, our design principles are polar opposite of the rest of the industry.

  • Represent the character of our company

Our company is open, warm, friendly, and high-quality. Our designs reflect these characteristics.

  • Represent the Open Source community

Our CAD work will be Open Source and our design will pay tribute to computer science.

  • Easy to work on and expand.

At every step along the way we ask, "How does this decision affect serviceability". Open it, change it, expand it. Our product will be flexible.

  • Efficient to manufacture

[...] We're starting with desktops. There's a lot to learn and the form factor is easiest to work with. Both design and CAD work are well along their way. We're prototyping with acrylic and moving to metal soon. Our first in-house designed and manufactured desktops will ship next year. Laptops are more complex and will follow much later.

It's going to take some years, but by the end of phase three, we'll be able to create anything. We'll apply our unique computers for creators perspective to every aspect of our products.

    If you have something of value, and people want it, they'll pay for it, and never ask about the gallons of cum you have swallowed. Fact, fool.

    Lesbians don't swallow cum.

      If you're doing it right, men aren't the only ones who produce cum. If you don't know what that means, then go get some more experience.

        What we make isn't semen. My ex was (is?) a squirter...well, gusher/trickler, I don't think squirting as seen in porn is real, and I've done it a couple of times too. I heard there's a female equivalent to parts of the prostate that is drained by the Skene's glands and Bartholin's ducts; maybe that's what this is?

          If there's a female equivalent to the bladder, maybe that's where it's coming from.

          That is what I was talking about. It's not urine. It's not semen, but people call it cum, all the same.

          I have never encountered someone who squirted like porn videos, but I have been with a couple gushers. Neither of them thought they could do it when we met; and they couldn't until we had developed a level of trust such that they felt they could let go. You also have to have good communication to figure out what works for them. Every woman is different.

          At any rate they said nothing could compare to it; neither could go back to the simple clitoral orgasms that are the extent of what most women experience.

            Yeah, it's...different. Like, not that there's such a thing as a bad orgasm but it's like the difference between canned soup and the kind you make yourself with stock and your slow cooker, if that makes sense? And the trust thing is really important because, for my ex and me both, what did it was some kind of really, really deep stimulation with fingers. I swear it's some kind of second G-spot or something, way way way back almost near your cervix.

              It's easiest that way because you can feel and remember where it is for your partner. You can reach those spots by other means like prostheses, but you are never sure of the precise angle or location, and the person receiving can't really tell either except to say it feels good or not. Either way there's a lot of experimentation and communication involved because beyond the immediate angle, pressure, rhythm, etc., there are many other factors that can make a critical difference to whether or not it works in a given session like where your partner is in her cycle, if she's full from having eaten a big meal recently, if the room is the wrong temperature, if she's too worried about work or something else to get in the right frame of mind, and so on.

              There's also having a better knowledge of anatomy. It's only recently that scientists figured out that the clitoris, which everyone thought was just the nub at the top of the vagina, is actually just the tip of a much larger, ring shaped organ that encircles the vagina; it makes sense as it would explain why the G-spot and A-spot work. And those latter ones sometimes don't become sensitive enough until a woman has had a clitoral orgasm, but once they do become sensitive enough stimulating them can lead to repeated, vaginal orgasms.

              In the end, every woman is different so there's no one formula for getting it right. Getting it right is worth doing, though, because nearly every relationship is made stronger if you have great physical relationship (because of the communication and trust it engenders).

            Hate to tell you, but it was pee. You got peed on. There is only one hole it comes out of, and it's a direct plumbing to the bladder and nothing else.
