Fuckin hate Claire's. Feels like every time I go there they're practically holding a kid down to pierce their ears
I believe this is the last election where Maine will have split electoral votes, since they joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact earlier this year.
Gonna have to pass that one to the Supreme Court. Does the sitting president have a Yacht the justices could borrow for a week or so?
I'm assuming you're not American.
If I'm correct in that assumption, you're in for a real fucking treat. Our elections don't follow simple popular vote or ranked-choice. We have our own system that was designed back when the average citizen was uneducated and therefore couldn't make an informed decision. It's quite interesting (and infuriating) to research.
To point out the very biggest flaw, a presidential candidate doesn't need the popular majority to win the election. Republicans will try to say this is not an important problem to fix, because it's only happened three times in the nation's history, but you'll so find when looking at popular vote numbers that this is loophole is the only thing that gives Republicans a chance in the presidential election these days. Since 2000, we have had 2 Republicans and 2 Democrat presidents. Both of the Republicans lost the popular vote, but still won the election. (The one other time was Andrew Johnson in like the late 1860s I think.
Sound confusing? Of course it does, the whole system is intentionally confusing to keep you from asking questions!
Well that tends to happen when someone shows up saying "we don't negotiate with terrorists" then proceeds to not only negotiate with terrorists, but conduct business with them in order to aid another militant group that congress wasn't fond of,
In other words, giving [the enemy] aid and comfort.
Oh yeah definitely. Not to mention you're always running the risk of Nintendo waking up one day and deciding to fuck it all up (for at least a little while)
That can work for most things, but if it's something like a photo, you have to put up with compression
Google Drive might be the single worst website I have ever used. Idk why, but Everytime I have to use it it takes forever to load, even though I almost exclusively have text documents saved, and the goddamn download button doesn't even work half the time.
So I'm assuming these boys are built through ChatGPT, so, if that's the case, how are they able to say things like this? I'm 99% sure if I asked ChatGPT to defend the Russian invasion of Ukraine it would tell me to fuck off.
Is there another chatbot that is capable of being a bigot?
IIRC If the president doesn't sign a bill it is automatically passed, only requiring a >50% majority. The president has to take action in order to veto a bill, and only then does Congress have to have a 2/3 majority to override the veto
Yes, I know, I'm fun at parties, but it's important to know how your government works, assuming you're from the US, that is.
Edit: according to USA.gov:
...if the president does not sign off on a bill and it remains unsigned when Congress is no longer in session, the bill will be vetoed by default. This action is called a pocket veto, and it cannot be overridden by Congress.
But according to congress.gov
If the president declines to either sign or veto it – that is, he does not act on it in any way – then it becomes law without his signature (except when Congress has adjourned under certain circumstances).
So what exactly are the "certain circumstances"?
Lare they fighting now? Last I heard they were outright refusing to.
It's definitely late by American standards, but there really isn't any reason our campaigns should be YEARS long.
Everyone freaking out about how late in the race this is.
There's over 100 days left in the cycle.
Most countries' entire campaign season is 2-3 weeks.
We need to start trimming this shit down.
I'd like to see some "official" guillotines.
What's the best ability for buffing Incarnon weapons?
With the bug involving Xata's Whisper and the Devouring Attrition evolution for Incarnons being patched, as well as Eclipse being reworked, what is the best damage buff ability for the Zariman Incarnons?
Minecraft is 50% off right now
In other words, the full price of the game is $40.
It only cost about $25 back when I bought it, inflation be crazy
Anyone know a good mouse with a lot of side buttons, that isn't an MMO style?
My Razer Naga Pro died and I'm absolutely not buying another one for what it costs. But I also can't seem to find a replacement with the same sort of layout this one had. I'll link a picture, but I'm essentially looking for a mouse that has a lot of side buttons but still has a place for me to rest my thumb without having to worry about accidentally pressing buttons. I don't really like 12 button MMO style mice for this reason, as I constantly feel like I'm going to accidentally press a button. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Edit: I also want to note that I'm right handed, and I hate the feel of ambidextrous mice. I like being able to lay my hand on the mouse and know exactly where my fingers are supposed to go.
How popular are custom shells for the n3dsXL?
I'm trying to get my hands on a n3dsxl, and I've been wondering how common it is to replace the shells on them. I can't find a ton of custom options online, but I'd love to do something like the textured hylian shield shell Nintendo did for the n2dsXL.
If not that, than at least something other than the plain colors they came in. Sure Nintendo did a lot of special edition releases but since I'm already burning a hole in my pocket trying to get a n3dsxl in half decent condition, buying one with the Hylian Gold or Super Famicom (or any other special edition for that matter) shell is out of the question.
Question about side effects of region unlocking
With 3ds/2ds prices still through the fucking roof, I have been looking at some Japanese models, since their price tags are slightly less crippling to look at. Unfortunately, I can't speak Japanese, and I haven't regularly used a 3ds since the release.of NSMB2, so id like to have it in English so I can navigate without googling everytime I need to get inside the settings. The issue is, this used to lock you out of a bunch of online features. My question is: with the end of online communication/gameplay, is this still something I need to worry about? I know game updates are normally gotten from the eShop, but is it possible to download the updates manually from something like hShop? What about software updates? (Do I need to install software updates at all since all they seem to do is try to break homebrew?)
Razer Naga pro seemingly completely dead. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?
I went to turn on my PC this morning and my mouse wasn't responding. I checked that it was plugged in, and it was, but the mouse's lights weren't coming on and Synapse didn't detect anything. I plugged in the wireless receiver and my computer detected that, but it still didn't affect the mouse itself. I tested the cord to make sure that wasn't the problem, and sure enough, it was able to power my Xbox controller with no issue. I could try to reinstall the drivers and/or synapse but I don't see how that would be helpful if I'm seemingly unable to connect my mouse to my computer. I also tried to reset the mouse using several different buttons/button combinations to no avail. I'll update this post to include anything else I've tried, but what suggestions, if any, do you have?
Looking for a pro controller/handheld option. All suggestions appreciated.
I had the 8bitduo Ultimate and I loved it, though it was a little awkward to hold at first as I was more used to the slanted handle design of an Xbox controller. Unfortunately, I think I must have left it somewhere in public leading to it being stolen, as I haven't seen it in a few months in spite of constantly looking for it. (Fucking ADHD, man) I was also already in the market for a second one as I have a younger sibling who enjoys playing with me, and her current controller isn't winning any awards (powerA). I also wouldn't mind something more comfortable to use in handheld mode. I had a Hori Split Pad pro, but I did not like it at all. The controllers felt cheap and hollow, they drained the switch's already poor battery life even faster, and one half quit working after like a month.
With that out of the way, I've looked at a few options:
I could get another 8bitduo Ultimate, and I definitely might, but I'm curious if there are other, more comfortable options available.
I've looked at the Gulikit King Kong 2 (and 2 pro) controllers, and they seem great on paper, but I've read a lot of reviews claiming they're prone to hardware failure in some form or another.
Lastly, I've seen a lot on the Nyxi Wizard. It's newer, so I don't know that there's any long-term reviews available, and I don't know how comfortable the GameCube layout is for most games, but I've read that in terms of quality it seems great, plus it has the benefit of being a joycon substitute.
Last lastly: Another thing I want to consider is whether I should get a joycon substitute, or get a console mount for a pro controller. I've heard a lot of good things about the Fixture S2 (i have an OLED) but I've also read that it tends to break with extended use.
What is the best style electrical outlet?
This is a debate, not an argument, let's be adults about this. [Insert political joke]
Need a USBC to USBC/3.5mm jack splitter
Bought a pair of Sennheiser 560s for my computer but I'd like something to plug them into my phone. Of course, my phone doesn't have a headphone jack (fuck you Google) so I need an adapter. I'd prefer one that allows me to charge and plug my headphones in at the same time, but I can't find one that seems decent quality. Any help appreciated
Is hydroid better than Khora now?
Since his tentacles hold enemies still now, wouldn't he be better than Khora? I suggest this because his pilfering tentacles augment has higher stats than Khora's pilfering swarm.
Is there a community for finding communities?
I always think of small communities id like to be a part of, but can never find any. Reddit had (has) the same issue, leading people to create subreddits around the idea of helping others find communities to fit their interests. Idk thought it would be cool but I don't have the capabilities to do it myself.
Who, in your opinion, is the Best/Worst person to ever exist?
This is intentionally open ended, use your own definition of best/worst, and explain it.
Purchase Advice
Looking for headphones for use at my computer. Primarily for gaming but also music. Lots of people online recommend the Sennheiser HD 560s but I figured I'd ask to see if there's anything else worth looking at. I think I want open backs since I'll primarily use them at my desk by myself.
My criteria are: -Decent price (around $200 or less) -Option for microphone attachment (also looking for recommendations there)
If I were to go with the HD560s, would I need an amp to take full advantage of them? If so, I would also like recommendations for that too, as I don't really know anything about them. Any other advice you could give me would be very beneficial. I'm new to the audiophile scene and don't have a ton to spend on the best of the best in gear. Thanks!
