  • I don't know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu's reaction to Vivian's transition is a large part of his transphobia. I'm pretty sure he'd be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.

  • I'd love to see it come back, but there's been no production activity on it for years. I hear the books are good, but I haven't read them myself.

  • That's completely backwards. The the extent we give people authority, they must also accept monitoring, so we know they aren't abusing that authority.

  • Depends on the progressive, I'd say. But, they are certainly more willing to, so I might have been better to leave that adjective out of my comment.

  • This [FPTP] is the weapon of the enemy, we do NOT (need to) USE it.

    Any Condorcet method would yield a significant improvement in representation accuracy, but it would trigger one heck of a party re-alignment.

  • As far as I know yes.

    But, D congresspersons rarely speak against party leadership.

  • I still think she's insane, but I wish we had more progressive, D congresspersons that had this attitude of serving The People instead of the DNC.

  • That's not quite true. If you can't complete a build without a proprietary dependency, it's not really foss even if all the source code is freely available, because you can't exercise the freedom 1 (or 3). Similarly, if there's not a FOSS RTS, you can't exercise freedom 0.

    "The Java Trap" from RMS was about this, IIRC.

  • So many humans never get a chance to see it more than once. It will be special, I think. 2061. I'll be 81 if I make it.

    This is the first orbit of the comet that human society was able to track it the whole trip. You can find telescope photos of when it turned around this time.

  • You never know what you are going to get. Her husband, both my maternal grandparents, my mother, my brother, and a cousin all predeceased her and it's likely my father will too.

    I expect I will check out early to avoid the pain of socialetal collapse due to climate crisis, but maybe I'll stick around long enough to see Halley's Comet again.

  • My paternal grandmother is the same. Turned 92 just a couple of weeks ago. Goes to the gym with me to lift weights 3 days / week!

  • I used to prefer personalized ads over the insanity that was 90-00s "random" ads experience. But, since ads became a risk vector, I agree with a block by default approach, and I'll find alternate ways to support sites I visit frequently rather than allowlist ads.

  • The tether / power transmission line does pass through potential flight paths, tho.

    Still, I imagine the impact to be even less than ground-based turbines.

  • While it is rather complex and hard to predict, the most likely global outcomes are fewer extreme weather events and extremely mild cooling. The hairy ball theorem tells us there's already somewhere on the globe with no wind, so it's not that big of a deal to convert some wind into electricity. This particular approach couldn't convert "all" wind into electricity.

    https://www.sciencenewstoday.org/spinning-skies-how-earths-rotation-shapes-our-weather -- We won't run out of wind until after we start slowing down the rotation of the earth, and we watch that pretty closely to know when to add leap seconds, and I imagine it's an just absolutely huge store of energy in the form of angular momentum (et. al.).

  • I use vim keybindings and have ESC,/ to do a reverse command search.

  • "que sera sera" es un ejemplo.

  • AOC buy lunch at McDonalds.

    AOC funds animal murder with her own monies.

  • Corey Comperatore was killed by the perpetrator, but I could not confirm it was by the same bullet that injured the ex-President. It was in the same salvo of bullets.

  • And 30% of the fucking country proceeded to lose their gotdamn minds about it.

    While another 30% declared we had "defeated racism" and decided it's okay to halt all efforts to remediate past racial bias or prevent future racial bias in the system.

    Sorry; unmedicated.
