“If these people actually cared about medicaid fraud they’d kill Rick Scott” – Every Hasan Piker’s hitpiece, completely missing the point that it’s true.

I think there’s a difference in finding major corruption charges and publicly releasing them vs billionaires just dying of “mysterious” illnesses, etc. China reserves that sort of death for violators of the one China policy where scrutiny isn’t going to have financial resources on its side. Credit where it’s due, billionaire money isn’t the end all be all factor because China will just take it… something the US should do too when billionaires violate the law.

“The voters cannot be failed, they can only fail the government.”

Bold of them to all go to the only rich country that has executed its billionaires for wrongdoing.

You do not win over people who are delusional by playing into their delusions, you acknowledge their delusions and explain it in another way. These people who believe thousands of lies from talking heads mostly got there by not being forced to acknowledge their shortcomings, whether it be about their tribalism, paranoia, guilt, or outright bigotry, it was because those views preexisted and were coddled. Most of the people who want to reach out to conservatives so bad can only fathom doing so by throwing the smallest victim under the bus. Fuck that

Because fascists, at least at the time, viewed support for other ethnostates as a means to an end for their own goals. Their opinion turned on a dime because it was no longer a popular and largely positive example of an ethnostate working, at least in the mind of Americans, who she wants to appeal to.

MTG supported Israel right up until Trump ruined her reputation in the party. She wasn’t remotely shy about her support either. Now she doesn’t? I mean we can support her current disdain, but she’s obviously not authentic in her stance.

I’ve heard that carbon is not necessarily the best basis for self replicating structures. Silicon is able to form a lot of similarly complex bonds that carbon is with a similar chain of reactions to our own. I don’t know if another life form from the ground up would even have diseases, although I guess cancer is pretty likely in any self replicating system due to cosmic rays. That would make it pretty hard to space travel though, one would expect their repair mechanisms to far excel beyond the durability of our own, which is actually pretty crap and easily confused with symmetrical DNA chains, excessive damage, repeating sequences, etc. There are other animals on earth that have better repair systems in place than us allowing them to live virtually forever, but none are mammals.

I think in the event of war, it would be about as long as the time it takes for us to announce the war until it’s over. The technology to freely planet hop from another solar system is like the large hadron collider vs an ant using a leaf to cross a puddle.

We’d better hope they don’t have healing technology to share with us because he’ll give it to the insurance industry to manage after slapping a few guard rails on it.

Maybe we can all just pretend that Bernie is our leader. It’s a nice thought anyways.

Pretty sure we’d have no communication with the alien that wasn’t just corrupt politicians trying to speak for us to get some sort of trade out of them to increase their own power. It’s too important for any/all normal people to have a voice, and then when the aliens dislike the abhorrent greed we’ll probably just suffer some how more than we already do. I’d say we’re better off not reporting any alien sightings. I would trust almost any human on earth more talking to aliens on my behalf than a so called leader currently. Maybe Ireland, Spain, a handful of others have better than regular Joe leaders, but it’s rare.

In order to be honest you need a Jesus-like or maybe even good Samaritan level of discipline for longer than you’ve probably even wanted to be in politics to avoid the media being able to cut you down, that is if you’re not one of their preferred candidates; which if you’re honest, you’re not.

Zohran is probably as close as I’ve seen to someone who accepts tough questions and responds with honesty. He’s basically a saint though and that’s not very common. Even considering that they’re going after his wife for pretty based stances. Honesty, in short, is not rewarded with our political and media-driven landscape, unless you make them look stupid just by virtue of the nothing burgers they bring to bear. Otherwise you’re better off giving the razzle dazzle and moving on, or lying convincingly and picking and choosing what you admit to like some other good candidates probably do.

Kinda depends on all 3 devices. Some USB devices can have extremely high burst rates before they’re heat saturated or some have ssd’s built in that can nearly peg the bus speed. Slow spindisks would be in the range of 80 mb/s or so where fast ones like sata Exos drives would be nearly 300 mb/s and sas even faster, some even bursting to max out the bus speed with their cache. Another factor is the load itself. Random access data is incredibly slow on spindisks compared to virtually any USB device, meaning lots of small files are going to crawl compared to big ones. Bit locker and tpm could be slowing it down if it needs to decrypt which isn’t likely slowing the USB drives down.

I think you’d get a better set of potential issues by being specific about the devices and interfaces.

I think the point is that even MAGA people have a basal anger in people who take a slice of their pie. Media and corporations are very good at preparing the runway for big projects and so the talking points are all figured out before they lay the first brick. In Luigi’s case it was sudden and it broke the cycle and allowed an insight into how their brain really worked in lieu of a narrative. The issue is that the unified message of their news sources is playing up the Illusory truth effect.

They only cheered until their satellite feed beamed the “correct” opinion into their brain. It was actually super interesting to see the speed of propaganda in real time with the most gullible people in America.

Billionaires no longer content with manipulating the entire housing market, debt market, stock market, healthcare access, courts, primaries, and laws, they now want to be able to squeeze retirement accounts to prevent retirements in the labor market when it suits them. Kiss my entire ass

In general it’s useful to rely on Canadian standards anyways, they tend to care about safety more than us.
