You're a union rep discouraging boycott protests? Then you're a bad union rep.

Why don't you wake up and do something then if you feel so impassioned? Instead, I see you're wasting your time complaining on an obscure reddit alternative.

For one, the people do not impeach a president, the Congress did. And point deux, impeachment does not result in removal of a president. Impeachment is the first step in removal and usually just amounts to Congress saying "we didn't like what you did. Bad president!"

Whatever you feel is acceptable is not how the government works here.

Then you're not understanding what NPR is at all. NPR is a non-profit radio station that provides free access to news, music, and programming over the radio and through TV and internet channels. Whatever NPR makes in revenue is through donations. Of course their budget is separate from their revenue. You have to have a budget at all to produce revenue.

What this is saying is that NPR spends 100x more than the government will give them to provide a literal free service to the citizens of the USA. NOR is practically self-sufficient while SpaceX is a for profit corporation whose bigger client is the federal government. If either of these organizations are a leech, it's certainly not NPR. One of them needs the money to survive.

That's after the DNC pulled the leash on his more progressive stances. He has a very clear, fall in line moment shortly after being picked for VP candidate.

He literally did not. He has historically publicly backed Israel and after the October 20th attack, he was pro Israel and anti Hamas but has always stated that not all Palestinians are Hamas and that the death of innocent Palestinians is unacceptable. He also publicly called for a permanent ceasefire and has stated that American Pro-palastinian protesters are doing public good and fighting for the right ideas.

His stance on Israel vs Palestine is pretty agreeable. Palestine ≠ Hamas and Israel should be held accountable for the deaths of innocent Palestinians.

But he hasn't run... I also think anyone should be allowed to run for office unless there is something legally preventing you from doing so.

Except, before the DNC reeled him in with kamala's campaign, he regularly had excellent policy and progressive stances that would shake the middlest of middle right Dems. Things like free school lunches and gender affirming care and reproductive health care protections from the federal government. I would take him over Kamala any day to be quite honest.

That's what the primaries are for. Selecting a candidate for your party to proceed with. The general election should set aside that division with the candidate having been chosen for the party already.

The same can be said for many neurodivergent "disorders" like ADHD and OCD and Depression. Though I would point out that many of these disorders could easily be recategorized as traits and everyone has some number of traits regardless of if you are seen as neurotypical or not. I would argue that "treatment" is a modification of traits such that we fit a mold in modern society and not necessarily to make us better for our own sake but for the sake of those around us that don't understand how our brains work.

I medicate to make myself less of an inconvenience for you. Not necessarily to make my life better for me.

Not the case for all neurodivergents but I know a lot who share the sentiment.

In systems where memory speed are mismatched, the system runs at the slowest module's speed. So literally making the soldered, faster memory slower. Why even have soldered memory at that point?

 

I had an idea in a dream where a pressure vessel had a buoyancy valve at the lowest point. The idea was that a ball would sit in a hole and water that may condense inside the vessel would lift the ball allowing the water to drain after which the pressure of the vessel would seal the ball back into place. That made me wonder about the possibility of a pressure based buoyancy valve and whether the physics were there.
