The researchers said it was “maddening” that such easy action to fight the climate crisis was not being taken, and said people should be angry. Stopping the leaks can even be free, given that captured gas can be sold – methane is the “natural gas” that fires power stations.

It’s maddening but expected.

When corporate decisions are based solely on pleasing investors, fixing a leak isn’t a priority. It might be a long-term investment that eventually pays for itself, but it comes with a front-loaded cost that diminishes the profits of the current quarter.

The only way to get them to care about the problem is if it’s actively unprofitable or comes with personal liability for the leadership, and the only way that will happen is with regulations.

In other words: “why about the survivability of the species when we can instead care about making our investor’s loins tingle?”

Eventually we’ll get his second term declared invalid, and roll back all of his EOs, legislation, etc., including pardons.

Let me fix that for you:

Eventually he’ll get his second term declared invalid, and use that as his reason for running for his third term.

They’re not awesome when your workflow revolves around the command line and you’re stuck choosing between wasting days trying to layer your configuration on top of the project devcontainer or giving up and using the unconfigured bash shell included.

The Darwin kernel is based on BSD… sort of. It’s a monstrosity hybridization of an ancient version of BSD and the Mach kernel.

You should do dev work in devcontainers anyway.

Devcontainers work for Visual Studio Code when developers are more than happy to click their way through running builds and debugging problems. But, as someone whose workflow is optimized for the command-line, they can fuck off.

You do know that people can have multiple motives, right?

Damn those Big City libs. Life ain’t all commuting like a commie and making money by jackin it at a desk in front of the secretary. In the real world, ya can’t just be a chickenshit little bitch afraid to get dirt under yer nails. Ya gotta do the right thing and make hard decisions!

Do ya shoot the dog, or do ya shoot the neighbor’s dog? Do ya claim he was vicious and untrainable, or do ya blame it on rabies? Do ya use the ol’ reliable glock, or do ya take the hard work to pull the good stuff and grab the semi-auto from the truck? Libs–they just don’t hafta make those kinds of choices!

Rubio’s remarks were widely interpreted as making the U.S. look subordinate to Israel’s interests.

Look? If that’s the extent that most people are willing to bury their heads in the sand, it might be time to invest in excavation companies.

On the other side of the half-adjective glass, consider that Trump’s biglyest advantage has been the cult of personality propping him up. Vance doesn’t have the experience or charisma to be able to sell himself to morons as their one true messiah and savior. The moderates will fall in line, but the brainwashed indoctrinees who wanted Trump and only Trump won’t just settle for a consolation prize.

I hope you’re not American or else that would be a big ol’ bowl of hypocrisy.

Calling them accelerationists is giving them too much credit.

They don’t want to see it burn, they just want to feel like their “team” won. Whether it burns and hurts them doesn’t matter as long as they think it hurts the “woke libs” more.

People who lack empathy simply can’t understand that lifting others up will pay back in kind and lift themselves up, too. It’s all a zero sum game to these pricks.

Is that for USB A and USB C? USB PD could be riskier if it shorts VBUS to D+ or D- since it can negotiate up to 12 volts, IIRC

Damaged ports with shorted pins, voltage fluctuations, etc.

The passenger electrical system is as isolated from the the rest of the plane as possible, but if the entire thing fails, sure then yeah you’re fucked and have bigger problems

Most modern airplanes I have seen have in-seat USB charging ports

You probably shouldn’t trust those to actually work. Or even to be safe enough to not kill whatever you plug into them.

I can’t wait for the Criminal Repercussions In Manipulating Electees act.

Agreed. That retort was spot on.

• No attacking his personality.
• No attacking his physical characteristics.
• No strawmen.
• No name-calling.
• Just a direct cut at his oxymoronic qualifications and lack of care for the working class.

I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what “checks and balances” or “separation of powers” means.

I guarantee both would lack self-awareness and instead be defined with a generous sprinkling of “woke”, “antifa”, or “liberal” in the definition.

Maybe:

“Checks and balances make it so a woke liberal president can’t take away our freedom by himself.”

Well, that explains a lot about the product quality. Their entire development workflow is a complete fucking mess.

• Long-lived feature branches.
• Creating merge commits to main just for the sole purpose of tagging them as releases while also maintaining separate release branches.
• Force-pushing tags to incorporate post-release hotfixes instead of releasing minor patch updates.
• Taking bugfixes from releases and merging them back into the development branch (have they not heard of cherry-pick?)
• Always using merges even when a rebase would be easier to follow and keep the history more straightforward.

I’m sure the official statement will read more like

“Voters, they LOVE me. The approvals, my approval ratings, just tremendous. The BEST ratings anyone ever saw. So great they said to ME, “President Trump, we won’t do this anymore”. No more ratings. I FIXED ratings. Just like I fixed the ECONOMY and CRIME. Crooked Hillary could NEVER do that. Obama tried. He tried long and tried hard, I give him that. He COULDN’T do it. Only ME. Only I can fix it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.”

If people in government were more tech literate and willing to stand by their morals by whistleblowing, they would create a torrent of the encrypted evidence and set up a dead man’s switch for the key.
