Kamala Harris Overtakes Trump in First Major Poll Since Biden Exit From Race
  • They're registering Democrat and polling Democrat, so there are nice, cushy feelings when it comes time to vote. We don't need to vote; she's got this in the bag. They're getting on the lists to be called, I wouldn't be shocked if the polling organizations here infiltrated.

    Clinton's polls looked fine until Trump won by a significant margin. That was no happenstance. Maybe she's polling well, maybe it's Maybelline, doesn't matter one bit. Expect there's foul play and make sure as hell you vote.

  • Trump refuses to accept he's not running against Biden anymore
  • Oh, he'll debate her eventually and it'll be a slaughter and they'll claim victory. Play that's the end of the similarities of 2012.

  • Kamala Harris Overtakes Trump in First Major Poll Since Biden Exit From Race
  • I vividly remember Clinton leading in polls too. The polls are rigged, Don't worry about them just a vote.

  • Warren Bill Would Overturn Supreme Court Decision Gutting Federal Agency Power.
  • Or if we don't try to do everything at once or we do nothing, same exact outcome, nothing at all.

    Nobody's going to see any traction on any of this until something horrible and messy happens. We're going to wait until most people won't stand it anymore

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
  • This is a replay of Hillary Clinton I'm afraid.

    Obama was an extremely competent extremely strong black man, he was able to leave the charge and convince the minority communities to rally.

    Harris is openly pro police. I don't think these communities will be voting Trump anytime soon but they also might not really feel engaged enough to go vote Harris.

    This is the kind of move that makes the moderates stay home. The only thing the left has going for it with this move is the crazier Trump acts the more likely they will be to come out, and he's pretty f****** crazy.

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
  • They're scared to death AOC or Bernie or somebody will get in that won't play by their rules. If they can't own the president they don't want them.

  • What's on your "Everyday Carry" USB stick?
  • 512GB Ventoy, every version windows that can boot from ISO. Gandalf's win 10 PE, gandalf's 111 PE, Debian live ISO, max versions of Debian and NixOS, silver blue and fedora. Ubuntu along with LTS. I could have put my crypto partition on it, but I actually like keeping that as a separate key.

  • So is the global IT crash fixed yet?
  • I can't help but think most of the servers have been solved. The fix is a pain in the ass but it's not like it's monumentally difficult. Anything that's in a server room with a remote access controller should be pretty straightforward.

    Kiosks, workstations, desktops are probably all going to happen in priority order. If somebody needs to run around with a key and unlock a door they're probably just going to replace the storage. And they're probably also waiting on that to happen in contract speed.

  • What is the worst IT setup you have seen at a company?
  • I'm not certain that it's still the case but several years ago Outlook for Mac was incapable of handling certain aspects of calendars in public folders shared groups and there was some difficulty with delegation send as.

    At the time the best answer I had was for the Mac users to use Outlook as much as possible and then log into webmail when they needed to send us. It's been a few years so I can't help but think it's been fixed by now. Or the very least equally broken on PC.

  • USPS shared customer postal addresses with Meta, LinkedIn and Snap
  • i'd be more shocked if a government agency (outside the DOD) managed NOT to leak my data.

  • Jon Stewart Reacts to Trump’s Assassination Attempt: “We Dodged a Catastrophe”
  • "Individual acts of terrorism are not significant in my view"

    You can go find someone else to 'argue' with.

  • Donald Trump's Chances of Winning Election Are Declining
  • The polls are rigged just like they were for 2012. 0 trust in the polls.

    We have Right registering as left and left registering as right.

    VOTE DAMNIT! THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

  • Jon Stewart Reacts to Trump’s Assassination Attempt: “We Dodged a Catastrophe”
  • I disagree with "significant action required significant coordination."

    One person can take significant action, as we saw in the news the other day.

    I'm not agreeing with you and then saying that single people were coordinated; I'm saying that coordination isn't necessary to perform significant acts.

  • What technology will date us in the future?
  • Better then being the pedant to complain about it IMO.

    But yeah, still not changing it tho.

    You mean like the attempted coup?

    Or like the guys that were hitting substations?

    Or like the guys driving through peaceful marches?

  • Jon Stewart Reacts to Trump’s Assassination Attempt: “We Dodged a Catastrophe”
  • Most likely they would take significant action. There'd be a lot of terrorism.

    Though, probably not much more than if he loses.

  • When is it okay to tilt the camera for a photo?

    The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...

    The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

    Črni Vrh Slovenia ice formations circa 2016

    Slovenia

    High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

    Sx01 non-spoilery Review

    spoiler

    Damn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

    Well-Preserved 3,000-Year-Old Bronze Sword Found In Germany

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bronze-age-sword-germany-180982399/

    archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

    >Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

    Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

    it's research!

    "Blood falls" in Antarctica. This water contains ferrous iron, which, combining with atmospheric air, oxidizes and forms rust. It gives the waterfall that blood-red colour

    I honestly found this one googling around, but XyRow666 presented a far nicer collage than anywhere else I could find.

    more info: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/blood-falls

    Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

    The Crooked Forest

    The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland.

    This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees.

    It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that.

    Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever.
