You are embracing fascism as long as it’s your guys.

That’s the problem.

There’s no winning. Democrats embrace fascism, everyone loses. Democrats play by the rules, Democrats lose.

It’s not for lack of trying. Congress has been too split for too long, Republicans care more about open-carrying to committee meetings than to get anything actually done. They get to make the Democrats look bad by dragging their heels and voting no on anything they bring up. And that makes them heroes, somehow.

Literally the oldest president-elect in American history, but keep acting like age matters.

It’s attitude. It’s playing by the rules or bending them. Republicans figured out the cheat codes…they can bend the rules and win, or at the very least not lose. Because you can’t, honestly, compete with that. It’s impossible. Lies are far easier to create than they are to refute.

So either Dems have to go low, and lower the bar further, bend the rules more, and be just as guilty of breaking democracy as the GOP…or they can play clean and lose. There is no winning for the Democrats, and there is no losing for the Republicans. They found the cheat codes.

What’s more, they got seized control of the anti-cheat (SCOTUS) 4 years ago. Stubbornness is a part of it, sure…RBG was too stubborn to leave at an opportune time…but let’s not kid ourselves over GOP hypocrisy when it came time to fill her seat, and let’s not consider whether or not Trump is stubborn.

Republicans can do no wrong, but Democrats have to be perfect.

The first waves, sure. Once you get to the Irish escaping the famine or the Italians escaping Mussolini, it became more about just survival.

The OGs were racist as fuck towards them, too.

Of course. He’s bankrolled by Peter Thiel and they make no false claims about it. Dude is a vindictive brat with billions to his name and absolutely 0 shame. He bankrolled Hulk Hogan’s Gawker lawsuit over a grudge.

They’re just very exited, give them a break.

Look to the Xiaomi Mi AX6S. Quite capable router and only like $50 on AliExpress. I just got a second one to use as a mesh node and wireless bridge for a bunch of stuff that gets a terrible signal inside of a solid wood entertainment center.

This is the USA. Since when is the US part of the rest of the world?

Seems most the world wants to distance themselves from us. Except for some shithole countries.

I also appear on any graph that shows the months between July and January abbreviated by the first letter of the month.

Don’t worry, kid. You’ve got two arms, and that’s above average.

Reminds me of an early Dr. Seuss book

According to Wikipedia, he’s actually a criminal defense attorney in California, and also “The Fish”, original lead guitarist for Country Joe and the Fish.

The challenge: demand satisfaction. If they apologize, no need for further action.

I went to Texas for the eclipse. Made a big family vacation out of it…landed in Houston, rented a Mustang Mach-E, stayed there for a few days, drove to Austin for a few days, drove to Dallas for a few days (and for the eclipse, was at the Perot), then back to Houston for a few more days.

I say this because this was a lot of highway driving. More than I would usually do. And I absolutely loved one-pedal driving in the city, and the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping on the highway. I trusted it much, much more than in our 2019 Odyssey.

Anything more than that, I don’t think the tech is really ready for. I wish it were. I know theoretically a computer could be a much, much better driver than humans…but it takes a non-trivial amount of intelligence to drive. We take it for granted, because a lot of it is practically instinctual to us, and almost entirely subconscious. It’s an incredible amount of identification and complex decision making that goes into it if you actually break down the number of inputs you observe and variables you “know” the values of (such as stopping distance for various surface and weather conditions).

I imagine power is the tricky part. Badge readers and the like that use RFID also use wireless electricity to “power” the card. The range of that is limited without massive coils. You may be able to harness power from heat in asphalt (from traffic or sunlight beating on it), but I’d think that’d also be very limiting.

Better would be low power RF beacons set up at every transformer or every N utility poles. Something like BLE, maybe a little bit beefier. Power is readily available. They don’t require data. All they need to do is broadcast their exact location and time (which they can get from GPS receivers).

What kind of troll named the towns in Newfoundland?

There’s also a “Dildo” and a “Placentia” on the larger island.

Well, to start, you need an old psychologist, and a young psychologist.

And probably several psychology grad students.

And then you can have a scientific study.

Demand a shrubbery.

Then…don’t upgrade?

I’m sorry I don’t see what the problem is here. This is a typical release schedule.

iOS has the same schedule (major release yearly). At least Google supports and patches for over 3 years. Apple is supporting 17 and 18 and that’s it. Android is still patching 12-15.

Mobile hardware is probably the fastest developing
corner of consumer electronics…between processors, screens, and battery technology. Of course software will have to change fast to keep up.

Dude, it was like 70F here on Halloween night. Both my kids were sweating bullets when we got them out of their costumes. A couple kids in our group had to take them off because it was overbearing.

Hell I went as Hagrid so my costume was like…sweatpants and a wig. And I had to take my wig off. Granted, I had filled my 30oz Yeti with a pretty strong cocktail for the walk. But still.

Y’all don’t understand semantic versioning.

Google does a major release pretty much yearly.

Major releases are for breaking changes.
