Plus, shit like this happens all the time. If you turn into the gate lanes for a bunch of federal buildings and your not there for a reason, they will detain you, even if it was an accident (they are very clearly marked, some have entire exit ramps to themselves). Every year or so, someone does this, panics and/or does something stupid… For the DMV, this is a just a normal Tuesday.

Represent!

Brazil gets to sit at the table with Iceland on the list of countries who jailed the people responsible for almost torpedoing thier own country. (In Icelands case, it was the bankers involved in 2008s financial crisis)

When they fired all the agents who were tracking down J6 rioters, they fired all the comptent people at the department… What they hell did they expect was going to happen. Plus, now that the feds have changed how they hire and fire people, noone capable of doing that job well will be applying.

Seconding steam deck, but also need to add in the docking station. That formfactor has stolen my heart, it does mobile gaming, along with having the horse power to be a PC substitute at home.

In addition to SteamOS, but ill let others promote linux and sticking it to microsoft now that linux desktops are finally crossing the “it just works” finish line.

I mostly am refering to food quality, no matter the quisine. When ever I fly back to the US from abroad, it takes a few days for everything to stop tasting like plastic, or having something off about it.

Its quite sad…

Best Fish n’ Chips Ive had was at a small pub near the old harbor in Reyknavik, arguing with two brits about toy internet spaceships, where the fish was alive that morning.

Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.

It was less of a policy, more of a suggestion that went nowhere IIRC. The issue is that commercial property is difficult to convert to residential due to plumbing and building standards (state and zoning laws).

For example, you could never put a residencal floor in the empire state building (or any other tall office building) because you would have to gut the building to put in enough toilets to meet regulations and that would likely be too costly for a landlord to consider.

You dont write the number of feet in a mile as 14A0 (base-16 for this example).

Your complaining about ratios used for unit conversion, not base numeral systems… Fuck, this feels like a slashdot comment.

The feet to mile conversion is still in base-10… Its the ratios between the units that are seemingly arbitrary. Come on…

Your not wrong, the issue is not about how the republicans internally choose their candidate, its about not giving them any legal ground to limit other parties options to do things how they choose.

If they win this case and the democrats have an open primary anyway, it gives the republicans the chance to sue them mid-prinary, and make them waste money and time. This is Calvin Ball levels of rules manupulation and pettieness.

He already isnt allowed within 500 feet of Ikea…

Seconding the home lab / micro controler project. A bit of research and you can get most things (especially shitty IOT crap off amazon) to dump their firmware and let you go digging around in usually lazy code. (A friend and I took apart an automated water bowl for a cat the other day, took a few hours, but we now have the tools and know what to search for on the next time someones shitty internet enabled fish feeder dies)

The reason is that in [current year], knowing stuff is great, but knowing where to find the info you need is more important. Thats why AI is taking off like it is. Its users ask in plain text for answers to things, the resourceful people only use that as a tool to find what they need not the complete answer(Also keep good notes. So you only have to find something once).

Fair. The point is that on the artist formerly known as twitter, there are still some who can be talked out of the point of view because they have not seen anything else, the platform supresses them and bans conversations based on what ever elons biases are this week. Others have already drank the coolaid and the only solution then is to just throw heavy history text books at them until it sinks in that there is a reason that books covering europe from 1935-1945 weigh a ton.

Im getting Chuck Tingle vibes…

For people already in the deep end. Its opinionated and does a lot of things for you to manage higher end consumer hardware (stuff you could manage yourself and learn how it works). For people who are a Windows native and are fleeing W11, it gets my recomendation as in Linux land it pretty close to “It just works”.

Imposter! Thats not Mariner, her sleves are to rolled down.

But its cult of personality is.

Vance is a wet blanket and is significantly less threatning than mango mussolini. He already plays second chair to 47, and they have no obvious plans for his successor. I intend to follow the in-fighting with glee and watch my stock in Orvile Redenbacher do well.

I would not worry about that. Her legal team has already stuck it to the entire music label industry. They already got that covered for her and made bank doing so (lawyers that good aint cheap).

I dont have a problem with that, but what I will object to is the current regime making the replament ID system. 1) there is no way they would design it well or securely, smart people capable of building such a system are usually the first to bounce to another country as they will have the means to do so. 2) it would be too easy for them to lord the new ID over peoples heads (like they are with immigration status now) and impliment a social credit score like China does.

Your correct that SSNs should not be used as IDs, but getting the government to build a modern system for that opens too many avanues for abuse (especially with darth cheeto in charge).
