Maybe related to massive mail voting - just speculation haven’t seen breakdowns.

If Harris made such a serious departure from reality as to claim that you’re allowed to murder live children it would be front page news for 6 months and be talked about for decades.
Inertia will keep a train going for a while, as the engine dies.
The people that are now on lemmy were the heaviest users. The ones that bought 5 different apps to improve their experience and figure out which one they preferred : the mods, the creators, etc.
Have they all left Reddit completely? Probably not, but now they split their time. And stats say the proportion on Lemmy is increasing.
We now have an opportunity not only replace but contribute in the creation of something new - new mechanics, new rules and more.
Reddit is tired and has been for a while, Lemmy developers are building the Reddit they always wanted, and are innovating at breakneck speed.
Simple things like Top by 1, 6, 12 hours which we now have here, was badly needed in Reddit but they were too busy trying to shoehorn video and flairs.
Main character syndrome.
This is their classic pincer maneuver employed by the establishment - and it works really well: the left wing candidate is both too left and not left enough.
You see it in every election.
It works so well because they own mainstream media so they can run all narratives at the same time as opinion pieces to hamstrung the left. That's how the ratchet works also.
From what I read it was this observation that led him to investigate the cause. But this is the first time I read that he's employed by Microsoft.
The whole thing stinks as schoolboy level revenge fantasy. I doubt there's truth to it.
Prop money has specific laws and guidelines and is very easily identifiable and therefore do not count as counterfeit.
If a $5 bill does find its way in the economy no one gets arrested probably, someone just made a stupid trade. Otherwise half the store owners would be in jail when attempting to deposit money that happens to contain a fake note here and there.
A convicted rapist literally claimed that you’re allowed to murder babies - then we put them side by side and double check if Harris said something that was slightly exaggerated. What’s so weird about it?
I believe you but this is identical to werewolf movie tropes.
Sleep in a cage with your arm handcuffed?
I'm surprised no one mentioned Lazlo yet.
A drop of water in a desert of cash-grab remakes that are significantly worse than the originals because everyone in production knows it's a cash grab and has no creative input other than pumping another one out.
This is like inviting the Catholic church in an institution specifically built to protect former victims of same and similar institutions.
Given that anyone can start an instance and federate with Threads, or join an instance that does, freedom of choice is unaffected.
The fine becomes payable with interest if you lose the case on appeal, which is nearly inevitable.
So he may be able to post bond by collateralising assets but is he able to pay the fine when he inevitably loses the appeal?
Also bond loans are not free. That's what he's afraid of - singing off a building's ownership to a bond holding company means it's gone.
He'd rather fight the procedural slow-moving government instead of a company whose actual job is relieving people of assets all day long.
There's a difference in stakes and impact and intent: the client firm is actively interested in finding security holes and the outcome of a negative security report does not (usually) directly affect the continuing operations of the business or impact on the personal reputations of the business owners their ability to conduct business, or how moral they're perceived by society.
A negative report here would be a devastating blow on Linus himself, his business is built around him and relies on audiences trusting him, it would also open up the door for legal action that could result in massive monetary damages and fines.
I've had "independent" valuations and audits. I've seen how these firms work - and it's not independent. They obey the people that pay them or they don't get any work in the future from anyone else "that firm destroyed my business".
The most suspect aspect of the report is that they found nothing negative, everything was perfect. This on its face doesn't ring true for any business I've ever seen, as well as how they responded to the accusations and how many people came out to accuse them.
That sounds a lot more Christ-like (feed the hungry, give as much as you can to the poor etc) than whatever mutation the evangelicals are worshipping.
It was directly targeted to the people were supporting Nikki Haley and the very few principled republicans left. “You don’t have to support this disgusting man just because you’re Republican. These famous republicans don’t”. It was a smart move to gather extra support.
I don't think the writer has them on hand - this is a news article not a review.
I hope she's great, but I can't imagine you'll find more dedicated or more aligned to the cause people than those that have spent a lifetime working to build everything that is Mozilla.
I can't imagine they can't find good people from within - why do you need to inject people from outside right at the top of the foundation?
Most certainly have been. Worth another look.
It's literally nonsense, and the equivalent of Christian Zionism / eschatology in that it's a set of incredibly harmful, baseless beliefs that advocate for mass misery in the name of vague hope of an accelerated magical delivery of human kind to a new era of happiness and joy.
"That's according to a Monday report from The Wall Street Journal. Given Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion late last year, the markdown would put the company's current valuation at about $23 billion, based on Ark's estimate."
$23b is what it was actually valued before Musk crazily overpaid for it and took over.
Now, that estimate comes from an investor that financed part of that purchase (so they're already suspect for paying double the odds back then) that still thinks there's a great future ahead for Twitter under Musk - so it's wildly optimistic.
The real value you could find someone paying for it would be more likely in the mid single digits.
Exactly: do the task, feel either nothing or like a fraud depending on if it meets your self-imposed ludicrous standard.
I can't believe people acted like people and did what people are known and expected to do
-- city and company execs, probably
Republicans already tried to end democracy when they tried to stop the transfer of power through violence in the last election.
Now they're just coming out and saying it "we're terrorists" and "we'll end democracy"
This guy: "they're being sarcastic".
You'd be right if they were minors - probably not in this case.
It feels like I've read a similar headline for every modern Olympics.
Etc.
Edit: CNN, for a change, has a pretty good opinion article on this.
So God, through Satan.
"This is the single greatest talent acquisition opportunity since I founded EnviroSpark. Tesla had been able to scale their charging infrastructure due in no small part to the talented employees on the Supercharger team."
Half of them likely already have another job.
All they needed to do is tell Israel
The feds can't force Texas to stop shooting migrants you think they can force Israel to stop doing anything they're set on?
If Wikipedia is accurate the previous school shooting in Finland was 12 years ago - it doesn't seem like an epidemic.
Meanwhile in the US, there are between 1-4 school shootings per month that result in injuries or deaths. I don't think I've heard the 2 or 3 for March on the news.
Black Panther.
It had so much hype in the media, i was so excited to watch it. It turned out to be rather boring and forgettable.
Unlike other chat services Telegram has a “social” aspect and search capabilities for locating public discussion channels.
Furthermore E2EE is optional and most people don’t turn it on and is certainly not on in public channels.
While techies are freaking out about an attack on encryption the articles I’ve read so far don’t mention anything about encryption or otherwise it seems that French police is concerned about moderation or attempts at moderation of those public channels, that Telegram specifically refuses to moderate.
Perhaps this will be an attack on encryption by stealth but at this point that’s not what it looks like.
As a personal anecdote when I installed Telegram a few years ago and searched for my city’s name the top 20 results where channels offering to sell you heroin - which I thought was so blatant as to be certain it was police sting operations - but who knows.
Angling for that Supreme Court seat if Trump wins.
I can't believe that the whole Android ecosystem -and I mainly blame Google, let Apple outplay it at system updates. It was always going to come to a head as people keep their phones longer and longer.
More than that, most peanut butter has a lot of hydrogenated vegetable fats which are likely much worse than a bit of sugar.
If the package doesn't have a tablespoon of peanut oil or so pooling at the top when you first open it, that you then need to mix it in, it's hydrogenated.
Of course it's possible. But after that devastating Gamers Nexus debacle, Linus being actively dismissing of peoples concerns until it became a public issue, the multiple employees saying they were worked off their feet unable to do their job properly, and generally being a toxic environment... this firm gives it a perfectly clean bill of health - that's not likely.
My little theory is that he was in cahoots with Microsoft re some product roadmap, against the wishes of the board.
-
Microsoft was not consulted re his firing as not to alert him or because there's no point asking the revealed adversary.
-
Microsoft was "furious" and desperately tried to reinstate him.
-
Immediately offered him a job. Effectively undermining their investment in open ai.
I'm assuming the West's analysis is that there's no better political reality inside Russia in sight, even with Putin gone, so they're better off just declawing the bear. Which to a large degree has already happened..
Meanwhile the upside is that the collective West gets to try tactics and weapons for modern warfare (drones, ai, analysis) and get ready for the next fight. They also gained a fight-ready, trained ally in Ukraine and a sharper focus in Europe of what's at stake and everything that that involves (eg energy and supply chain independence).
The downside is obviously the deaths of Ukrainians in the front line, but I don't know how many of them could be prevented without NATO getting properly involved.
Since you gave advice on the battery and fuel:
Tyres go bad through the vehicle's weight, so either raise the vehicle enough so they don't touch the ground, or remove wheels and put it on stands.
Once you make sure the car is secure release the handbrake so it's not engaged for a long period to prevent it from fusing.
Clean thoroughly inside and out to make sure dirt doesn't adhere to paint or seats, that no food is left inside the cabin that can go bad and smells that can embed themselves in the seat foam etc.
Cover with a car cover to protect seals, paint, seats from the elements.
Thanks for the trip. Any recommendations for best value for money hardware?
