That’s all the evidence I need to know you’re smart.

And yet… still got elected? I find this disconnect so bizarre.

If the USA lowered flags to half mast every time there was a school shooting you may as well just cut off the top half of the flag pole. It’ll never get used.

Early “people skills” or “early people” skills? Hmmmm

Here’s his latest t-shirt. (Sorry, this is the best resolution I could find)

I recall Trump has already had it.

I had a mouse like that on my Amiga 2000!

Then you’re not as old as me. 300 ohm ribbon was pretty common in Australia, especially on crappy bunny antennas. You’d need a 300/75 ohm matching balun before feeding it into the TV.

Seems that way. Where are the serial and parallel ports?

Here’s a wacky idea: if Americans won’t do it, Americans don’t get to eat. Let’s see how long it takes for things to change…

who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now

Even fucking goldfish remember what he’s done. He has irreversibly associated Nazism with Tesla at the same time that cheaper and better electric vehicles are coming out of China. The only way is down and that’s not going to change until he is no longer part of Tesla and a lot of time has passed.

I was kinda hoping the US would collapse into civil war before they helped start WW3.

Bugger.

Just wondering: if California just stopped paying federal taxes would the net effect be the same? That way they haven’t gone through the process of seceding, but at the same time they are refusing to entirely be part of the union.

But I bet Putin said “thank you” when he received said plans…

Britan: the tan you get by standing the the English rain.

Ikr. Python does kinda suck as a language.

So the article says. What of it?

Not sarcastic, but rereading it now I can see why you’d say that. I’m grateful for preferential voting because there were a lot of seats that had Liberal first preference majorities that swung on preference counts. I wasn’t actually aware that preferential voting came along 17 years after federation and that it was the states that gradually brought in compulsory voting… and now in wondering why, and what happened to cause us to shift away from the British model we were no doubt following beforehand. Thanks for the new rabbit hole!

This must what winning looks like.
