  • Assuming Democrats are still around to campaign expect the same milquetoast, center-right bullshit platform of getting things "back to normal" to kill any kind of enthusiasm from their base. Don't get me wrong I voted for Harris but I'm getting really tired of voting against having evil men in power over someone I actually like. I want Bernie Sanders, not Margaret Thatcher Lite.

  • So what are the spiders there for?

  • They seriously need to course correct their policy decisions. Capitulation to Israel and corporate interests, playing kingmaker with their presidential candidates, and pandering to conservatives are gutting their support.

  • To be fair protesters were already being injured and arrested. I know we're all still hurting at the election loss but let's not kid ourselves with the current administration either.

  • It really made me start wondering how we can see infrared, ultraviolet and even the x ray light spectrums, but we have yet to do so in the microwave spectrum. It'd be awesome to see the world through such lens. Imagine being able to see through walls with WiFi and cell towers illuminating everything.

  • Splinter Cell was particularly good. If only Ubisoft would release all other Splinter Cell titles in GOG.

  • I'm considering it more like a unit of pressure, like the standard force of a bullet over the stretched area made out of the skin of an obese child.

  • What fucking trains do we have in America? Inter city passenger rail's been on life support for a century here. Just vote to keep the Nazis out of the White House.

  • Sometimes it can be easier to make peace with yourself for who you are than struggle to be someone others would want to be around. Just do things that bring joy in your life and you may end up with others who share your same values.

  • Keep in mind Trumpers hate birth control and that one night stand might turn to an 18 year marathon with a crazy parent.

  • Yeah it's stuff like this that can make a huge problem like with the Mars Climate Orbiter crashing because its programmers were mixing and matching SI and Imperial units. Adding a few minutes to a document can save hours of looking stuff up for the reader later.

  • It does seem like it would be a reasonable tax scheme but it would have to be carefully balanced for the type of use for the land. It'd make sense to charge more for a factory making a lot of value for the economy compared to a high density residential building occupying the same area. I personally prefer mixed use zoning to make land use more efficient though so it'd be interesting to see how that'd go.

  • I'm already paying taxes for owning a small parcel of land to live on on top of income and sales taxes. It hurts from so many sides. 🥲

  • The lack of labeling each variable (with units!) in equations really boils my piss. Yes the author knows them by heart, but even peers in the same field could struggle to understand what they mean. If introductory chemistry and physics instructors beat the practice into their students I see no excuse for authors to leave them out in a thesis.

  • Clearly you haven't had the joy of having 10 tabs on Firefox, a film playing on VLC, the torrent client running, and trying to open up a large Solidworks assembly file on a 16GB Windows 10 PC. It gets eaten up fairly quickly.

  • Be careful which ebike brands to trust. Avoid Rad Power Bikes. Even though the brand's American, its customer service and reliability's a complete joke. I had a lightly used Rad Runner who's battery died a little after a year of light use. Their warranty only covered up to a year and they said their only solution is to buy a new $600 battery that doesn't even come with a warranty itself.

  • The vacuum's a Matrix Shark and the mop's a Narwal something or other. Aside from them getting stuck in corners or entangled in wires once a week they work great! A little wire management and careful furniture placement lowered the chance of that happening again. One dog pretty much ignores it and the other eyes it with suspicion and wouldn't be in the same room it's running in but otherwise I haven't had any big issues yet.

  • I'd get their games for PC if they didn't have a compulsory PSN account login.

  • A small vacuum and mop Roomba clone. Having two dogs leaving fur everywhere made vacuuming every day a necessary chore but now I only need to empty out their base every day and they take care of keeping the floors clean. I don't have them connected to my Wi-Fi though so hopefully that helps mitigate any hacking attempts.
