I think they're just advocating practical harm reduction. In a 2 party country without ranked choice voting (obv there's more to it than that.. not writing an essay here), you'll only ever have the 2 choices.

So predictably devoted to fucking this country/world up.

Melby did not answer a question Monday about what happened that led to Harris’s and Walz’s names not being available initially on the ballot in the ESA system.

Error, or "error"?

The fact that they won't speak to root cause allows people to come to worst case conclusions. Perhaps rightly so.

I was at that talk. I've never been inspired by an in person speaker like that. Makes one want to unionize.

I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!

-Nobody

It disappoints me that the level of regulatory capture prevents these companies from being held to account.

I've got one of those laptop chips and I feel exactly the same. I'm going to be watching my temps very closely. My trust is absolutely gone

1 year in and this job still seems just as cryptic and difficult. Very little documentation about the systems here and the imposter syndrome is feeling more like a reality than a pathology.

I'm about to look into different work.

I like this very much! I'll bring this up to my mayor next time I see him. Big thank.

Most likely an app updater written by someone who is too lazy to make their updater hidden.

As others suggested, look in task scheduler, but make sure you run it elevated. Focus on any updater that's calling an app from a bat file, and move out from there.

I would only get one if it also had a backlit display. Preferably amber

This article has some useful considerations.

Happy shopping.

Weird, most people just use socks for that.

I believe the implication is that humanity does not deserve to continue on.

 

I've had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and fight the power?

There are so many other ways things are engineered to benefit the minority and prevent the majority from gaining power, why not this too?

Just a thought rattling around in my head.
