Mostly irrelevant, but until like 10,000BC there were lions as far north as southern England.

Read an article about this. Mr. Garrison was the Trump stand-in during Trump 1. Now they just have actual Trump.

Posters in terms of people submitting stuff to the main comms.

No numbers. Just vibes.

It's "chiller" because the number of posters keeps going down.

I drastically preferred the old sub because it was a lively and well-populated leftist space that preferred dunking to scolding.

Here is not that. There just aren't enough posters. I don't think a place like that really exists anymore.

Steam does not have per-client bandwidth limiting. They will fill whatever pipe you give them.

Capitalization is important here, though. 4 MBps is 8x faster than OP's pic of 4 Mbps.

What kind of hard drive do you have? Solid state or disk? You could be write buffer constrained.

What kind of speed do you get on fast.com? You sure it's not just your pipe?

Right but he'll (optimistically) implement things that are then rolled back by the superstructure. It requires the manifestation and alignment of capitalist power, unlike anything AOC has ever attempted (if she even has).

Argument could be made the Dems tried all this under Biden and the "capitalist superstructure" was the Parliamentarian. The difference will (optimistically) be in the character of his response.

Difference being he's trying to be a mayor, not a Congressional Representative. He'll have actual power to make New Yorkers' lives better by virtue of his executive authority, something AOC lacks.

They stopped doing their bread-and-butter Quick Looks sometime after they got bought by Fandom. Quick Looks were how I got into their content in the first place. I think this is a positive indicator. It's a much better format than just streaming a game.

And only like, what, 2 months after enthusiastically voting for the person who argued that continuing that program and continuing to pay them less than minimum wage was necessary?

The invention of the "study" as a pressure release valve for activism was truly a masterstroke.

Fun anecdote from the article about a previous merger one of these companies did:

Washington seeks to avoid the situation it found itself in a decade ago, when Albertsons bought the Safeway chain. To satisfy regulators concerned about that deal's potential impact on supermarket competition and consumers, Albertsons sold 146 stores to Haggen, a small grocery chain based in Bellingham, Washington.

But Haggen struggled with the expansion. Within six months, it had closed 127 stores — including 14 in Washington — and laid off thousands of workers. Haggen sold its remaining stores to Albertsons in 2016. Now, 10 Haggen stores in Washington are on the list to be sold if the merger happens.

Look at the math on that little offer they did to make the merger more palatable. lmao
