That’s my fear. The district Dems will decide that they want a more reliable Democrat in the primary, and their candidate will get crushed in the general election in this conservative district.
The only reason he’s in office right now is because he convinced Trump voters to also vote for him. To win in Maine’s 2nd, a candidate will need to do that. I’m incredibly skeptical that his primary challenger is going to have much success with that.
Committee control is the big reason. Even if he’s not the most reliable vote, the Dems get to control the House agenda if they have the majority. And it’s not like he’s 100% Republican with his voting record, either.
In fairness to Golden, he’s one of very few Dem reps to win in a Trump district, and Maine’s 2nd is very much a Trump district. He can only win by attracting some Trump voters. He does this by aligning with them on gun control (or lack thereof) and some social issues.
As to Golden being a DINO, he still counts toward a Dem majority in the House, and that’s super important.
If Golden loses the primary, the Dem candidate is going to have a very hard time winning the general. And then we’re looking at mini-Trump, former Maine governor and Florida resident Paul LePage, getting elected.
Yeah, people have been saying this kind of thing for almost 10 years now. It’s wishful thinking.
That’s kinda the point
They’re not morons. Trump, Musk, super PACs, and the GOP are spending collosal amounts of money to mislead them. It’s not their fault that it’s working.
My expectation is that he’s going to try using the threat of the US leaving NATO as leverage to get Denmark to simply hand Greenland over. He’ll declare himself winner whichever way it goes.
What do you use for furnace/AC monitoring? Do you get data directly from the equipment, or just infer it from environmental trends? I assume the power data comes from embedded monitoring facilities in your UPS? What make/model do you have? I have a similar setup in my house, but it’s lacking a few metrics. Monitoring air quality (CO2, particulates, etc) would be nice, and my local electric provider sounds a lot like yours, so voltage monitoring would be great.
Just ask ChatGPT; it’s better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.
Interesting! From his post,
Mikhail advised me to use balanced trees instead of extensible hashing
And
I never told Mikhail that Oracle had tried implementing a filesystem using balanced trees, and its performance was terrible leading to most insiders in the industry concluding that balanced trees performed poorly for filesystem File size patterns.
Of course, that filesystem exists today as btrfs.
People on lemmy really seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about reddit. Why is that?
It’s not like she suddenly woke up sane or anything.
