As an Oregon voter, tough shit. We voted with a 68% majority to amend the state constitution, with explicit penalties for legislative absenteeism.
The chilling impact they are feeling is the will of the people bitch slapping their defunct political strategy.
Yeah… this feels right. He seems to have checked out because the real campaign starts once he has lost. They’d rather use their dollars shielding him from further judicial consequence and preparing to set the country on fire once he loses.
Fundamentals: Intel powers the US military industrial complex, they’ll weather this storm.
Can I tour your bunker?
Happened to my grand parents’ church in the 90s. They had this big disagreement over rocks (not joking) and then the infighting tore the church apart. Half of the group left and built their own building across the street and the other half stayed. Neither church ever really recovered from that.
There was a children’s summer program where they painted crosses on rocks and other symbols of faith, like the Jesus fish. They were having the kids hold them in their pockets and hold them while they prayed, like a daily reminder kind of thing but also an arts and crafts idea.
Well, one elder got super pissy about the idea their grandkids were “praying to idols” and got a bunch of parents all hot and bothered. After a bit of handwringing, the church asked the teacher to either step down or leave the church. That triggered the other half of parents who either 1) didn’t see the whole ordeal as such a big problem or 2) liked the teacher and their family. Chaos spiraled from there… all over painted rocks.
Edit: this happened in rural Texas, there wasn’t much going on down there so I’m convinced people did this kind of thing for the mere sport of it.
As an actual Oregonian, unlike the Russian disinformation that has posted so far, this is a good decision. I’m Democratic, but the mere fact that one party may benefit from or be hurt by “stolen votes” is irrelevant. The point is people should be able to vote for those who represent their views.
There are a lot of libertarians in Oregon. Plus, the state legislature GOP is a super dick about everything they don’t like. We literally amended our state constitution to punish legislative absenteeism because the GOP members were denying quorum as a strategy.
Why are these not standard at every beach in the US?
Terminating RJ-45 takes about 2 minutes if you damage the connector, and takes novice techies about an hour to get it down quick. You can’t say that about USB-C.
I agree, the speculative execution failure feels like the start of the bad times for modern Intel.
Yarr!

Using AI with humans-in-the-loop is a fantastically powerful combination. We can solve many problems with smart system design that humans alone cannot achieve.

Hahaha, get fucked, Mr. 45
Relax, show a willingness to learn and you’ll be ok.
I got my start working for university IT and made it all the way to a CS Ph.D. and into industry.
Edit: and get good sleep! It’s nearly midnight on the West coast, get as much good quality sleep as you can.
Can we get another admin to sign off on this being authentic? In other words, short of a signed GPG signature how do we trust announcements after a breach where admin accounts are compromised?
Long story short: WW2
The military required men to be clean shaven, which was partly tactical (proper gas mask seals), partly to whitewash the service (e.g., black men can have severe skin reactions to shaving every day), and had other benefits to unit cohesion and general order (routine personal fitness and hygiene).
Well, that stuck, and an entire (massive) generation of men and their male children were taught that to be good they simply had to be clean shaven. Those two generations make up the vast majority of business and political power in the US, so the idea of “success” and “power” was idolized by a clean shaven male. This was further accentuated by the counter culture reaction of this cohort’s kids in the 60s and 70s, where longer and unkempt “bad” hair was cast against this “good” clean shaven look.
Fast forward to today, those traditions and appearances have been baked into most of modern life. As the boomer population starts to fade away, so will the tyranny of the razor.
This.
You’d be surprised how much of a place’s physical infrastructure depends on a physical line. Automated fire alerts for high rises, security alarms, remote access for gates and doors, backup phone connections. A lot of this still uses old physical lines because it is easy to fix and highly reliable.
Now consider the infrastructure needed for specialized services like EMS, police, secure and classified buildings, federal agencies, embassies, smart traffic signals. Shutting down a network like that has massive implications for anything in society that relies on it, which is well beyond your cell phone plan.
To accentuate the argument, relying on science here is not a good idea because concepts like “viability” will very likely change with technological advancement. In 100 years, it could be perfectly possible for a fertilized egg to grow into a baby outside a mother’s womb. Eggs or sperm could be genetically modified to correct for disorders and syndromes. What would viability really mean in this scientific context?
This argument tormented one of the SCOTUS justices on the original Roe vs. Wade decision.
I can’t agree more. I watched the video and not only did he not topple over due to his own movements, he made very witty comments and played to the crowd in the moment.
Honestly, I would be scared to show that clip of my opponent having a human moment.
The Chevy Volt PHEV was an absolutely fantastic car, I was very sad the day I sold it and even more sad when GM said they were discontinuing the line. Whoever brings a PHEV truck to the market with 100 miles of all-EV range, I’ll buy it day one.
Well he can just fuck right off
…like, out of the hospital
…preferably out of his profession entirely, if possible
It’s not dumb to spend $10 on 5 tickets and spend the next 2-4 hours imagining / discussing what I would do with the winnings. It’s basically a movie ticket for my imagination, costs the same amount, and lasts about the same amount of time. I call that worth it for a bit of fun every year or so when the jackpot gets really high.
A felony wouldn’t disqualify him.
Pretty sure the 5th Amendment doesn’t protect against obstruction of justice if you knowingly wipe your phone while under custody
In this particular scenario, it likely doesn’t hurt that AOC represents parts of The Bronx and Queens.
This is the reason why theoretical physicists and engineers rarely have fun together at parties.
Yep, and Llama 3.1 just came out, which is the most open state-of-the-art LLM out right now.
We can start with cancelling my neighbor’s dog at 6AM and work our way up to jet tarmac zen garden.
More of a murder on the dance floor.
In a word, no.
In more words, haha no.
There is a piece of this that is beyond their control when dealing with the secret service. Since the assassination attempt, the secret service has denied the kinds of open field and outdoor events that Trump thrives on.
I don’t think that explains all of it, but there are factors other than scheduling and staff work.
“No bunker”
Oh, I understand.
Seems like a worthy trade, let’s do it.
I mean, this is like seeing the Dutch East India Company or Shakespearean London or the events of Les Mis in Game of Thrones.
In my mind, these are very distinct time periods. One has castles, the other had coffee.
Thanks for the reply!
Agreed.
Biden could have started saying, "you know, I've never been a good debater -- especially with a bit of a campaign cold -- but what I have been good at is running this country. I've clearly been around for a while and, since I've dedicated my career and life to being a servant to this great country, I've never been more optimistic about America's economy. Yes, we've taken a few punches recovering from the pandemic, but compared to our international neighbors we are doing ok. Not great, but not bad. There is still a lot of work left to do cleaning up from the mistakes of my predecesor, but we are making good progress and will continue to do so. "
I replied on the other thread. https://lemmy.world/comment/11678263
Honestly, when the Boomers start dying off. They are burning all of the other generations out of spite and the pendulum will swing hard once they are gone.
