It really does seem like Florida has seen a significant influx of “southerners” since COVID. Hard to believe it was a purple state not long ago (Gillum within 0.5% of Ron). I feel for the tens of millions of reasonably intelligent, non-poisoned voting people there (similar to Texas).
What if we send them to someone else first, and let them drop The Democracy right on the civilian population? Damn, still not working. Must need smarter, more sophisticated bombs…
I used Power Delete Suite (javascript IIRC, via Firefox, year ago) to edit and delete, and mine are still gone. Not sure if it is still effective.
Reddit is probably less and less tolerant about edits and deletions, now that they’re full speed on selling our data. Still see plenty of deleted posts when I’m searching for things, which is… nice I guess (bittersweet).
Great info for Texas, thank you. Early voting during that second week is my favorite. The first few days, there may be some small lines (depending on local population, etc). But that’s usually a good sign. If Texans voted appropriately, could even demand (gasp) mail-in ballots. For now, just thankful they haven’t taken early voting…
I’ve finally made one tiny step into the Linux pool: Replacing my little old Plex server & NAS (mini PC, Windows 10) with… an even tinier Raspberry Pi 5.
It’s been nice to finally have an excuse to start learning Linux: commands, bash scripts, ssh, samba shares, etc. I’ve always admired lean, portable FOSS, so it’s way overdue.
All this talk of DivX, but no mention of (the open source alternative) XviD? Maybe people confuse them. I think I had way more XviD videos at the time.
I’m kind of amazed that I haven’t subscribed to Netflix in years now. They are always raising prices, and are too special to offer discounts (unlike competitors). Quality has generally gone downhill. They barely advertise, so I only hear of a few hits that escape the bubble. Most of their revenue seems to be from FOMO at this point, plus “eh, it’s good enough”. I’m happy to sail the high seas to obtain any highly-rated content they might accidentally produce.
“Geothermal energy is a DEI hire.” - Texas GOP next week (if the owners of company do not “donate” appropriately).
I guess I’m just saying: Have these people ever actually voted for Democrats? We know T**** caters to lunacy and cults, and they’re welcome there. RFK will divide those, and perhaps hold off the idiocracy a bit longer.
Mostly, the former D’s I hear about are people who were transformed by new wealth (Silicon Valley and libertarian types). Probably not enough of them in swing states.
Anyway, these are the things that help me sleep at night. Silver Bulletin and 538 will keep me sane, until they don’t.
Yes, Musk has made people hate anything he’s involved in, or that enriches him. It’s only natural; Actions have consequences. He’s a severely mentally ill billionaire, increasingly detached from reality. And now his politics and disinformation are a danger to millions of people. If SpaceX or Tesla wants to feel the love, they know what to do. Until then, I can only assume they accept the consequences.
He’s polling around 5%, and Democrats seem pretty happy with their candidates now. More than Republicans at least, with their addled, deranged old man. RFK Jr hasn’t done much to attract actual voting D’s in the last decade. It will still be interesting, but reasonable people know he’s not viable.
Also, incentives for union-made American products. Whoops, Elen and Tesla is anti-union. Seems to be the root of his hate for Biden.
They are absolutely losing their minds right now. Love to see it. (Thanks, Biden.) And no doubt getting screamed 24/7 at by Donnie. While he fails to do anything they advise him to. Also: “Iran hacked us!” Sure, lol.
Where’s the big floppy pole vaulter?
Good info, thanks. Generally, that’s what I would expect from any area owned by the oil and gas industry (and/or just exceptionally corrupt). Kind of surprised that California still doesn’t have more progressive energy policies. And allows PG&E to regularly embarrass the state.
As Russian military continues to purposely destroy supermarkets, homes, schools, hospitals, energy infrastructure, entire towns, etc.
I wonder how many “innocent” Russians know of any of that. Or that their soldiers kidnapped and raped women and children. Tortured and executed others. “Fake news” I’m sure they’d conveniently claim. Ignorance is bliss, until the bombs start dropping on their town.
Literally anything. It seems “They’ve tried (almost) nothing, and they’re all out of ideas!” This is such a mind-boggling fuckup from Biden. Probably the biggest of his presidency.
Israel is run by out-of-control extremists and racists (much like T**** regime). Who will justify any killing, because “they’re in danger” (also sounds familiar). Biden is seemingly vetoing his own advisors, as Netanyahu continually kills civilians, Israeli hostages, and chance after chance at a ceasefire.
I really hope Harris has a more intelligent approach. It wouldn’t take much.
“Don’t eat roadkill, kids. You could end up like… RFK Jr!!” (shudders) (kids scream and run to hide)
