But that's what we're left with. I'll vote for whoever is on the ticket, but there's literally 0.01% chance someone else gets the nomination.
Plus, my (indoor) cat can't help but have a loud, boisterous conversation with any cat that wanders through my yard. Usually at 2am while I'm trying to sleep.
I'm just defending my decision to vote for Biden, not defending Biden himself. Get therapy.
I'll defend it. In a choice between a lunatic narcissist surrounded by sycophants and a potato surrounded by semi-competent advisors, I'll have the mashed.

Open them up, salvage the magnets. Use sandpaper on the platters if you need to apply more privacy.
Why would they contact us? Kopernik got a lot wrong, but he was right in that we are nothing special. A species advanced enough to contact other lifeforms must run across planets in various states of ruin 12 a day.
All of my Twitter followers are thot-bots. I don't even get the good ones that have pictures of cats in their bio. Just poorly photoshopped Kim Kardashian body swaps.
We (well, not me, but someone) airlifted food into Berlin for almost a year. The pier is theater, meant to look like they're doing something. If they really wanted to help, they would make sure the supplies actually got to the people that need it, and not leave it on the beach waiting for more fish to evolve legs.
To be honest, I don't know if Proton Drive will do what you want or not. It probably should, if you both share to the same folder, and make that folder "always available offline".
But if I understand you correctly, I would use Syncthing to do this. Just set up your phones to share the DCIM folder with each other, and as soon as one of you takes a picture, it will copy over to the other phone (as long as you have a data connection or wifi).
I used to post on r/pyongyang. It was a lot of veiled sarcasm praising the regime, famine, prison camps, etc. Every once in a while someone new would show up confused. Depending on their responses, they would either be attacked as capitalist shill pigs, or 'gaslit' with more posts praising NK in comparison to the free world.
I don't get that vibe from this group. But I could be wrong.
that's what a sea urchin looks like after it's been out of the water. They unroll so they can get back to the ocean.
That's not fair! You guys already get Spaghetti Wednesday, now you want pasta in the classroom?

You can always go to the NHTSA website to get info about recalls.
This post could have been a link to Reuters. Instead it was a link to a disingenuous conspiracy spreading nutjob. I don't care what the claims are when they're filtered through someone like that.
Glenn Greenwald is a right-wing conspiracy huckster. He's demonstrated enough questionable beliefs to cast shadows on the rest of his work.
Right? Dog's not ugly, just neglected.
FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register
This goes into effect September 4, 2024. Employers with existing non-compete agreements must post the notice on page 163 (38504). After that date you may accept a job offer from anybody, including a direct competitor, and not worry about violating any non-compete agreement.
PCIe slots and compatibility
B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI is designed with tons of connectivity, flexible tools, and convenient Wi-Fi solution with DDR5 memory version for gamers who want all.
I recently bought this motherboard, based on descriptions on pcpartpicker.com and B&H's website. Both sites claim the board has 5 PCIe x16 slots (2x version 4, and 3x version 3). But I have the board in front of me, and while it certainly has full length slots, most of the pins are missing in all but one of them. Closer examination of the MSI website has this to say:
-
5x PCI-E x16 slot
-
PCI_E1 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x16 (From CPU)
-
PCI_E2 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)
-
PCI_E3 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset)
-
PCI_E4 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)
-
PCI_E5 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)
Have I been swindled? Am I just stupid or ignorant?
Followup on the vehicle "kill switch" mandated by the Infrastructure Bill
From my previous comment, it looks like NHTSA is moving faster than I predicted. We're now at step 1, with this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
(edit: I jumped the gun, we're still at step '0' on my original list)
Most of this notice seems to be a report on why 'impaired driving' is bad. I see alcohol, cannabis, mobile phone use, drowsiness...etc.
>Due to technology immaturity and a lack of testing protocols, drugged driving is not being considered in this advance notice of proposed rulemaking.
Makes sense.
>There is no clear and consistent engineering or industry definition of ‘‘impairment.’’
Yep, another unclear request by Congress.
>NHTSA believes that Congress did not intend to limit NHTSA’s efforts under BIL to alcohol impairment.
Okay, that's fair.
>Camera-based-systems, however, are increasingly feasible and common in vehicles.
Uh-oh...
>The Safety Act also contains a ‘‘make inoperative’’ provision, which prohibits certain entities from knowingly modifying or deactivating any part of a device or element of design installed in or on a motor vehicle in compliance with an applicable FMVSS. Those entities include vehicle manufacturers, distributors, dealers, rental companies, and repair businesses. Notably, the make inoperative prohibition does not apply to individual vehicle owners. While NHTSA encourages individual vehicle owners not to degrade the safety of their vehicles or equipment by removing, modifying, or deactivating a safety system, the Safety Act does not prohibit them from doing so. This creates a potential source of issues for solutions that lack consumer acceptance, since individual owners would not be prohibited by Federal law from removing or modifying those systems (i.e., using defeat mechanisms).
Note that "make inoperative" does not apply to a "kill switch" in this case. NHTSA uses the term to mean "disabling required safety devices". For example, as an individual vehicle owner, it's perfectly legal for you to remove the seatbelts from your car, despite Federal requirements. But it's illegal for the entities listed above to do it. (This example doesn't extend to state regulations. It's legal for you to remove your seatbelts, but may still be illegal to drive a car without them.)
There's a short 'discussion' here regarding how to passively detect impaired driving, noting the difficulties of creating such a system. Followed by a note that basically says if they can't do it within 10 years, NHTSA can give up and not do it, as stated in the Infrastructure law.
There's a long section on how to detect various types of impairment, current methods of preventing impaired driving, etc. An interesting section about detecting blood-alcohol level using infrared sensors embedded in the steering wheel. Body posture sensors can be used to detect driver distraction.
This is followed by a brief overview of the technologies NHTSA is considering:
>Camera-Based Driver Monitoring Sensors
>Hands-On-Wheel Sensors
>Lane Departure and Steering Sensors
>Speed/Braking Sensors
>Time-Based Sensors
>Physiological Sensors
On page 850 (21 of the PDF), NHTSA asks for feedback to several questions. There are a few pages of relevant issues, so I won't cover them here. If you wish, you can go here to leave a comment. Please don't leave irrelevant garbage like "I oppose this on the grounds of my Constitutional rights..." While applicable in this situation, it's irrelevant to NHTSA, and commenting like that will just waste everybody's time. There's a section on page 855 (26 of the PDF) about Privacy and Security.
That's that. Let me know I can answer any of your questions. I'll try to come back to this post throughout the day and see what's happening. But, I do not work for NHTSA, so can't remark on agency thought process.
