Unfortunately Trump's stated plan is to boot out everyone who won't kiss his ass, shut down "non-essential" services like the education department or national weather service, put someone in control of healthcare who believes all vaccinations need to be immediately banned, and pass national laws against women's reproductive health care despite his claims of letting each State handle their own business. And yes, on his own he could only do so much, but the Republican party also gained more seats in both houses of representatives which means it will be easier to steamroll through anything he wants. So yeah, we have many many good reasons to be worried.

That's rich coming from the guy whose entire platform is one big political bias against free speech. Seems like Musk's whole outlook is "I'm going to move people to a colder planet where nothing grows and we can't even breathe, so why should I worry about trashing this one?"

Also, when is his daddy going to teach him how to shave?

I still don't know why anyone USES linkedin. It was a shit company built by hacking Windows and sending out emails in other people's names to try to build their user base. The fact that Microsoft actually bought the company that hacked their operating system just shows how little moral value is present in any of this.

So Sony wants to punish ISPs for continuing to "allow" illegal things to happen? Hmm remind me again which company it is that has had so many data breaches that users have come to just expect it? Sounds to me like if they are allowed to pursue attacking internet providers then they themselves should start seeing lawsuits for continuing damages until such time as Sony is able to successfully recover all stolen personal data and other parties can no longer use it for profit.

Funny how the police act like they're the ones being threatened, when they are usually the ones who walk right up to people that are standing a distance away and start getting aggressive. Their behavior suggests that even MORE people need to be recording because obviously the safety of innocent civilians is at stake.

Ever since sites started doing this, StackExchange has been the one constant thorn in my side. "We'll only ask you once" and yet that popup has appeared every single time I have visited the site, and I'm there quite frequently for programming questions. Other sites like StackOverflow were able to store a cookie containing my selected preferences, but SE seems to ignore my selection and I finally gave up even trying to click on the banner years ago.

Funny thing is, I checked them again after reading this article, and suddenly there is no cookie banner on the page. Hopefully they finally got it fixed and this isn't just some temporary fluke.

So she was fired for discrimination, and is now suing on the basis of being discriminated against? Did I get that right? The concept of irony just goes right over these people's heads, doesn't it?

I especially loved this little bit... "impeachment acquittals are often unrelated to factual innocence", then the panel quoted "there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt." Anyone else note an undertone of disdain for acquitting him from both impeachments? 😆

Absolutely nothing happened, we barely even got a rise in the Kp index.

And what's with all these fearmongering articles lately always claiming that a "massive" burst is gong to disrupt radios and GPS? Has anyone even seen this happen in recent history? I mean sure, if you get a burst strong enough to be seeing aurora as far south as Texas in the US then you might be getting into the region of affecting communications, but they keep pushing these warnings for solar bursts that aren't even strong enough to trigger aurora over the continental US.

I bought my mechanical keyboard in 1997. It has the original large round plug on it and through the years I've had to buy adapters to go to a ps/2 port and now to usb, but the keyboard itself still works pretty well. Definitely time for a good cleaning though, I've been having a lot of stuck or missed keys lately. Since I write code this keyboard has seen a LOT of daily use over the years.

Pretty much every signature soda drink. Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew... none of the knock-offs taste right and some are just nasty. Oddly, root beer seems to be the one flavor everyone can do well, maybe because it's a more common flavor with no patents on the general idea? I dunno but I don't think I've ever had a 'bad' root beer.

The only policy Republicans have is to directly hurt as many people as possible. The only people who vote for Republican policies are those who want to harm others in an attempt to make themselves feel better about their own shitty lives.
