  • Cat.

  • This reminds me of one of the jokes from an old episode Fairlyodd Parents where they make Cosmo the "Rice President", it sounds official but is functionally meaningless. They needed to give him a promotion, but not the power to do anything.

  • Darth Vader is too cool for that shit, your probably going to be more of a Dark Helmet.

  • It absolutely isnt

    President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to fix it, does so (reluctantly) and then dosen't take credit. This so divorced from reality that it should be concidred high fantasy.

  • No, noone is under any obligation to do so.

    Remember what they say on airplanes. Secure your own mask before helping others.

  • FAFO

    Jump
  • POCKET SAND!!!

  • You and me both, I shall report back after I try SCIENCE!

  • Ill have to check this out. Any idea if it plays nice with wine?

  • Fair, but they have 2ish sessions left before the term is over and its in the middle of the holiday season... I appeciate the correction, but any feet dragging means these dont happen in time either.

    1. Fair, that one would work.
    2. The aid would have to get out the door quick, if its left on a runway the day of, it aint flying.
    3. Obstrictionist Legislator, nope. And with the full GOP governemt they are already planning of flipping the switch on absentee appointments, which haven't been allowed since Obama.
    4. Fair, but even retaining damning classified info wont sway any minds, so why bother.

    Point being, the things that can be done are minimal, other than being petty and spiteful (and leaving trump an upper-decker in the ovel office restroom, that one just something I would do).

  • Its about the most spiteful thing that can do at this point. All actually impactful changes will be undone immediatly. The one thing they can do is make all 45s fanatics re-buy their merch.

  • My last expirence with XMPP is very dated, my old groups in EvE online used it and it was perfect for its role as a sort of internet pager to summon the horde of nerds. Im aware there are many new related projects, discounting it seems a bit premature now, if you have any recomendations I would love to read their docs.

    My concern is that I would have to pitch what ever project we landed on to a semi-technical group of gamers with a handful of admins to run things. (Trying to avoid a platform that gen-z would complain about, and they already roll their eyes at me when I mention spaceships and spreadsheets).

  • Idiocracy is the most unrealistic movie ever made. President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to solve it, listens to them (reluctantly) and then dosent take credit. That would never happen in any political reality.

  • Im addition to the other tools to dig your car out, fill a large sealable bag or jug with a mix of sand and road-salt and leave it in your trunk/boot. If you end up haveing trouble getting traction when you start the car on a hill or have to get up a small lip around your tires, throw the mix under the drive train tires to help get you out of the hole.

  • Im not worried about that, they wont let him, as a former president and current candidate, he has a secret service detail until he gives it up. Given the unique situation he is in, I dont think they would let him do that until everything is resolved.

  • You would think they could add an induction charger and actually make it "magic"-ly charge.

  • US owner of an EU Fairphone 4. It is functionally locked to T-mobile due to AT&T not wanting unlocked devices on their network and the 5G bands dont always line up correctly so calls while driving are tricky. Beyond that, I love the device and can do that cool party trick where you can take out your battery and everyone stares in awe at my organic, free-range smart phone. (That part is a lie, I dont go to parties).

    Joking asside, I like having an attempt at an ethically sourced phone, even though it is a finicky device. There is a US redistributor and they sell a model with region appropriate changes and a de-googled cloud backup service, but im not in the market for replacing this thing yet.

  • Oh, but I want a number. Its important for my bingo card.

  • They used to be contained, every village has their idiot. Now that the internet is the global village, all the formerly isolated idiots have a place to chat.
