Why didn't he say all this before the primaries were held in most states? Or after the General Elections?
Because you have to build political capital before you can spend it. If he had said it in December, corporatist Dems would've been able to use the excuse "why should we care what he has to say? All he did was get elected; he hasn't done anything yet."
Makes sense; there wouldn't have been any flowers or tetrapods for them to suck on yet.
Edit: @KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works deleted his comment, but he was at least half-right. Amphibians (tetrapods) had indeed started to show up in the Carboniferous. That said, the Wiki page I read before commenting said that mosquitos feed from mammals and reptiles but didn't mention amphibians. I think it's not that I was wrong about them having nothing to eat, but that I was wrong about overgeneralizing to say "tetrapods."
Also, the ancestors of flowering plants did indeed diverge from their common ancestor with gymnosperms during the Carboniferous, although flowering plants didn't become dominant until the Cretaceous.
Wait, the $15 2K model you bought yesterday can be rooted? I figured anything made in the last few years would've been patched.
Can you tell me the exact model (the code on the box, like this, as explained in this XDA thread about the model I got where I experienced disappointment), and where you found the information about rooting it?
I appreciate that you're happy with yours even without rooting, but I don't think I'd be able to trust it not to enshittify in the long run on the stock firmware.
I have a couple of them that I bought shortly after the LTT video on the topic with the intention of rooting. After figuring out that I'd unfortunately got the newer hardware revision that can't be rooted, I had them just sitting in a box.
If "debloating" them without rooting and installing Lineage or whatever is "good enough," maybe I should take another look. Do you know of a good guide to follow? Is there anything special that needs to be done, such as preventing it from updating or connecting to the Internet before the factory malware is removed?
Yeah, if Trump's sycophants filed for voluntary dismissal, it's because they wanted to preserve the opportunity to try some other bullshit tactic later.
The trouble is, it isn't symmetric that way. MAGA hypocrites would simply gleefully shout it from the rooftops as fact and it would end up being a propaganda coup in their favor, satire be damned.
See also: the bullshit asymmetry principle, The Card Says "Moops", that quote by Jean-Paul Sartre, etc.
That's great and all, but I'm still waiting for it to be affordable to install my own so that it can also be a whole-house uninterruptible power supply.
Then why were you even asking when you already knew?
Your bitching was like complaining about a footnote citation because they didn't copy and paste the entire referenced work into the middle of the article for you.
Well, fuck.
