FOS 5: Modern Journalism's Circular Suicide Reporting

In this shorter episode I discuss briefly what may be the obvious cause of bad reporting in 2019: Websites reporting on each others' "News." If you all report the same thing....nobody is reporting.

FOS 2: Benefits of A Decentralized Government (July 28, 2019)

 This episodes dissects what it it means to be patriotic... what it means to be a proud American.  Where does this outrageous pride come from?

Fly Over States Intro

I have put a lot of thought into the fact that I currently have two Patreons...and I have decided that it really doesn't make sense.  If you like Fly Over States - just give MLID more support if you feel it is worth it.

I will be slowly dropping FOS episodes into the "Unlocked 4th Core" RSS feed to further reward members at this level and higher.  In other words, Unlocked 4th Core and higher members will now get access to the entire back catalog of FOS.

Die Shrink 6: Desktop Form Factors (Where is mATX?!)

The rise of ITX and small form factor builds cannot be ignored as a real "thing," and in fact we think this phenomena was cause by several factors (not just nice ITX mobos).  Also is mATX becoming obsolescent, or is it just preparing for a new resurgence?
