  • Vance launches into Trump's 'war on fraud' by suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota

    Jump

  • “We will give them the money, but we’re going to hold it and only release it after they propose an act on a comprehensive corrective action plan to solve the problem,” Oz said. “If Minnesota fails to clean up the systems, the state will rack up a billion dollars of deferred payments this year.”

    Fuck these backwards demands.

    If Minnesota gives them a plan, they essentially admit they have been defrauding the people.

    If they refuse, the money is withheld (at least until a judge makes them pay.)

    And couchfucker has repeatedly made these kinds of demands. He's good at coming up with questions where answering them in any fashion benefits him.

    The ONLY move that Walz really has is to vehemently and unequivocally deny the underlying premise.

  • What are your top 5 favourite works of art?

  • I like a lot of Marc Davis' work.

    In particular

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    Jump

  • Those arent drives. Those are NAS housings. Specifically listed as "diskless" meaning they don't contain any hard drives or ssds

    Jump

  • I think you missed his point. The NAS is cheap. The disks to put in it no longer are.

  • AAWU — Autonomous Agentic Workers Union

    Jump

  • Agentic =/= Agency

  • Trump Administration Considers Requiring Banks to Collect Citizenship Information

    Jump

  • EOs are not laws. The media is complicit in putting pieces out with things like "how that will look in practice" or "how this will affect you".

    Just call it what it is. Illegal and unenforceable and treat his EOs like Trump treats the Constitution.

  • Yes, providing spoiler warnings for very old films is still appropriate and necessary

    Jump

  • First, avoiding spoilers often means not discussing what are arguably the most interesting parts of the movie.

    Second, asking the entire world to not talk about something just so you personally don't hear something about a movie you may, not even necessarily will, watch, is wildly selfish.

    Third, spoilers don't matter. Movies are about so much more than a twist. Cinematography, acting, story, direction, etc. are so much more important. We as humans rewatch plenty of movies when we already know the story or twist and happily enjoy them anyway.

    If you care about discussing films with other people, then there is really no time frame for a films release that makes it fair to prevent talking about it.

  • This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby

    Jump

  • I mean... That's like 95% of people anyway. I doubt most people turn off Bluetooth when they aren't using it. It's left on so when they pull out their headphones they just connect.

  • xkcd #3211: Amperage

    Jump

  • Yea, but what device draws that much power. In the us, most space heaters are 1200w, so about 10 amps. So he'd need to really have a high load device. You might be able to find some 30amp single phase loads.

    Putting them all on their own circuit does so much to actually protect him unless he has various extension cords or those 2 receptacle to 6 receptacle devices.

    For 500 amps, he should be running 1000 gauge wire. Which would be so impressive to run since each leg would be almost an inch and a half thick and $50 a foot. Each breaker would be over $2k, if he went with the cheapest 500amp breaker.

  • xkcd #3211: Amperage

    Jump

  • If each outlet is its own breaker.. what's he running that's goong to melt those wires?

    Unless he has some 16 gauge extension cords going to an electric dryer or something...

  • Trump Posts Unhinged Video Of Himself As U.S. Olympic Hockey Hero

    Jump

  • I was joking with my friends wondering when he'd steal one of the gold medals. Either like when he stole the FIFA medal or like Putin stole the Superbowl ring.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

    Jump

  • Specifically say you are invoking your right to silence and specifically say you are invoking your right to council.

    If they continue to pester you after this, it's a violation of your rights and a lawyer will have more ammunition to defend you.

    If they come back hours later and try talking to you again, you invoke them again. After a significant period of time (whatever the cop decides) they can try again to "see if you've changed your mind."

    But just staying silent is not the same in the courts as invoking your right to remain silent.

    People tend to want to talk and fill silence. You'll have to control your urges and learn to be comfortable in silence.

  • What tourist destinations do you think are NOT overrated?

    Jump

  • I haven't been to Florida for it, but the one in CA is great. Knott's Scary Farm is also great.

    For both of you want to have a great time. Pay for the front of the line passes. Halloween horror nights can have 3 plus hour lines for an event that only lasts like 6 hours.

  • What's yours?

    Jump

  • Either an FBI agent obsessed with the unexplainable, which I put on for background noise while my girlfriend fell asleep.

    Or

    A 'cheesecake' photographer taking classy pinup photos in the 50s.

  • What would you want done with your remains upon death?

    Jump

  • Put me in a haunted house. Use my skeleton to scare people or in movies or whatever.

  • What dating apps are really optimizing. Hint: it isn’t love

    Jump

  • As a dude, I wasn't matching while I was swiping often. I'd swipe in the morning and then see what came up through the day.

    They may have changed their apps in the... 10 or so years since I used them. But the premise is the same, the more you swipe right on the better the odds of matching someone that swipes right on you. Even if you don't swipe right on everyone, be extremely generous on your swipes.

  • What dating apps are really optimizing. Hint: it isn’t love

    Jump

  • On essentially all of them, they went to a swipe right to like and a swipe left for no.

    Except when actually trying to make a match, it's more advantageous to literally swipe right on everyone to maximize matches and then unmatch if you match with someone you aren't interested in.

    But if you are swiping left, you will match with significantly fewer and potentially none. It becomes demoralizing. And it takes much longer to make a decision if you are looking at everyone including those that don't match with you so you go through fewer people to potentially match with.

    Wait until you match with someone to look at their pictures and their profile, and only then, decide whether to stay matched or unmatch.

    I had quite a few short relationships from tinder and bumble. But some of those wouldn't have happened if I were more picky at the swiping stage.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • I have a set of Sony studio monitor headphones. I can hear more nuance and parts of the music I simply can't hear in any of my ear buds or noise canceling headphones. They aren't wireless, so I don't really use them that often though.

    It doesn't matter the cable, the amp, shitty 128kbps mp3 or vinyl. I can hear much, much better with the drivers in them.

    I'd say 90% of anything that matters is the driver. But past a certain midrange point, there just isn't really much or any improvement.
