My local PC hardware store offers assembly and setup services for ~20€. Includes installing and updating the OS and drivers, as well as stress testing to verify that the components perform as expected. More places should offer that option, really. Especially if they also sell pre-built PCs that are assembled in-house.

“Respect” is commonly used in two wildly different ways. To some, it means being treated as an authority. To others, it means being treated as a person (aka common fucking courtesy). Then there’s the absolute shitstains who say “If you won’t respect me, then I won’t respect you,” and what they mean is “If you won’t treat me as an authority, I won’t treat you as a person.”

Being treated as a person is given. Being treated as an authority is earned. And if you don’t do anything to prove you’re capable of being an authority, you don’t deserve to be treated as such.

Russian crew launches are done for an indefinite period. It’s entirely possible that Baikonur is just out of commission. If the pad is even capable of launching in its current condition, doing so would likely cause even more damage. So while the pad itself isn’t exactly destroyed, its capability for crewed launches certainly is. Until repairs are made.
