I personally underestimated the support Harris would get. I remember lots of progressives being unhappy with her back in 2020, due to her background as a prosecutor.

Between that and the obvious reasons Republicans would go after her, I figured it would be an uphill battle.

Very happy to have been wrong!

On the power disable feature topic, I've only bought a few used enterprise drives from Goharddrive.com and Serverpartsdeals.com, but they both included a handy little SATA power adapter with each drive for exactly that reason.

The first desktop I installed them in worked just fine with the factory PSU cables, but when I upgraded I was left scratching my head for a few minutes until I remembered those adapters!

To be fair, this post is pretty much the epitome of mildly infuriating.

Yeah, "Hot" is just short for Hot Garbage. It's basically "New" for posts with a couple of upvotes and maybe 1 post.

I think it's a divide by zero thing where posts are weighted by activity divided by age. So a tiny amount of activity on a new post is weighted the same or more than an active post that's a few hours old.

Edit to add: Top 6 Hour seems to be where it's at for a mix of fresh content that is also active.

I have no memory of this as a kid, but even as a grown-ass mid 40s adult, it's weirdly ominous and unsettling. Wtf were they thinking?

There are correlations sure, but I'm not aware of any studies proving a causal link between cars and traffic.

I could just as plausibly say that 95% of cars in traffic have automatic transmissions. And so, just speculating here, but if they all switched to manual transmissions, we may see a significant reduction in traffic.

Fair point. That was never really a huge deal for me because my watching habits tend to be pretty stable, so signing up for a year minimum wasnt a big deal. But that is a place where streaming is still better.

It's clearly a stack of pancakes!

But now you've got me freaking out a little bit over how to classify a waffle once all the little divots are full of syrup...

Would it be a toast constructed of dozens of tiny quiches extending in the XY plane? Sort of like how string theory has more dimensions rolled up at the subatomic scale??

Yeah, at least in the order the photos are presented, that's pretty clearly where I went from "Huh...." to "Huh!?!?"

Honest question: How do you currently deal with multiple news outlets reporting on the same story?
